The Full Spectrum of BodyWork

July 18th to 25th 2025

Cortijo Caseria del Mercado. Granada

A Journey of Connection and Growth for All

Welcome to TOUCH Gathering, a unique retreat designed for bodyworkers and anyone passionate about the Art of Healing and Body therapies. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or just beginning your journey, this gathering is a place for everyone to learn, share, and grow together.

At TOUCH Gathering, we believe in the magic that happens when we come together to explore our shared love for bodywork and holistic healing. Imagine a vacation where you immerse yourself in practices like Dynamic Thai Massage, Modern Osteopathy, Effortless Thai Massage, Rebozo, Pa Khaw Ma, and Wùo Taï, surrounded by like-minded individuals in a supportive and joyful environment.

What sets TOUCH Gathering apart is our approach to learning and teaching. This isn't a traditional hierarchical setup where knowledge flows from teachers to students. Instead, we cultivate a space where growth and learning blossom through mutual presence, shared experiences, and collective practice. Each session is framed around a theme, and our team of experienced instructors will guide you through it. But the true essence of TOUCH Gathering lies in its fluidity—each moment is shaped by the needs and energy of the group, creating a truly unique and connected experience.

Our instructors are all women with years of experience in both teaching and therapeutic practice. They bring a deep awareness of the present moment and a flexible approach that allows them to adapt to the group's needs, ensuring every participant's journey is deeply personal and connected.

While our team is entirely composed of women, TOUCH Gathering is open to all. We invite anyone seeking a transformative vacation filled with growth, connection, and self-discovery to join us. It's a time to reconnect with yourself, embrace the present, and immerse in the joy of bodywork and healing arts.

Come, be part of this experimental adventure where every day is a new discovery, and every moment is filled with the potential for magic.

Welcome to TOUCH Gathering, where we celebrate the journey of learning and healing together, just as life beautifully unfolds.

The Team

This course is fully designed and facilitated by an All-Women Team. We feel that our Full Spectrum Perspective is needed and wanted.

We feel it’s necessary to speak out and show the way we have touched, learned, and loved.

We feel the Feminine part of Us wants to co-create a Nurturing and Mothering approach to one of the most simple and effective Healing Techniques, TOUCH.
