The Sacred Art of Hair Brushing Workshop
Learn a powerful ritual of presence, connection, nervous system regulation and conscious touch.
To brush your own hair with loving care and thoughtful attention has so many well known benefits for the health of your hair, scalp and general well being such as:
-
Relaxing muscles around the head and neck
-
Stimulating hair roots and growth through increased blood flow
-
Distribution of natural oils and increasing shine
-
Releasing old energy build up
But having your hair brushed by another, with loving care and full presence, can be an invitation to a much deeper level of wellbeing - an absolutely divine experience in itself.
Our Workshops
It is a beautiful ritual that honours and acknowledges another - body and soul. It opens channels to their heart through your own and allows you to bear witness to the Divine within them.
It can even evoke memories of early nurturing touch, or a remembrance of how you deserved to be touched as a birthright. Our head is truly the crown of our human selves and requires reverence and respect when being handled and tended to in this way.
Having your hair brushed by someone who is holding such a caring and intentional space can also be a gentle and effective way to recalibrate the nervous system. It fosters trust and an openness to fully receive in safety.
There is such a real need for authentic human connection in our world today. As we navigate times of great change and uncertainty, it can have a profoundly destabilising impact on us all. The skill of hair brushing allows us to support and soothe one another through love, presence and connection.
I have witnessed the miracle of the hair-brushing ritual again and again in my daily practice as a holistic hairdresser. My deepest desire is to share the unique technique and wisdom I have developed through more than 25 years devoted to this practice.
