Deane Juhan spent nearly two decades on staff at Esalen Institute and 25 years training under Dr. Milton Trager. He is the author of Job's Body: A Handbook for Bodywork, widely regarded as the foundational text in therapeutic bodywork, and an inductee of the Massage Therapy Hall of Fame. His work has shaped how a generation of bodyworkers understands touch, the nervous system, and the body-mind connection.

Fernando Rojas has spent his career following in those footsteps, profoundly shaped by Deane's work. He is the author of Embodied Presence & Attuned Touch and the founder of Somatic Mindfulness, an approach that has brought somatic touch to bodyworkers across the country. He is a Massage Therapy Hall of Fame inductee and Master Somatic Educator and Therapist, and his work has given therapists a path out of burnout and back to the work they love.

Over three days together, you will work directly with both teachers in an intimate setting, learning an approach to touch that supports your body, deepens your effectiveness with clients, and gives your practice the kind of foundation that lasts.
