2025 Zenthai Therapist Programme Newcastle
“When you touch one thing with deep awareness, you touch everything”
~ Thich Nhat Hahn
The therapist programme is the natural follow-on from the Level One course for those wishing to deepen there practice and take the journey to become a Zenthai Therapist.
The course is divided into seven four-day modules plus student clinic/graduation. Completion of Level-One is a prerequisite. Each intensive workshop focuses on aspects of structural and energetic bodywork, aligned with Traditional Chinese Medicine and the 12 Threads of Zenthai Shiatsu. We begin each day embodying qualities through movement-based practice. Combined delivery of theory and practice, each class runs from 8:30 → 4:30pm.
More Info on each module is on the Zenthai Website.
An application form is available below for those wishing to apply for the 2022 program. This course is normally very full, so entry is not automatic. Please express your interest using the form below.

Happy Dragon Workshop
The Happy Dragon
Such a great symbol of power, adaptability, generosity and discipline
A great totem for Zenthai
I look forward to sharing this weekend full of workshops and opportunities for you to learn in this embodied way.
I have broken it up into 4 mini sequences...
I encourage you to come to all four however if you can't make it... you can join in for at least one workshop.
Here is the breakdown...
Saturday July 27th
12 - 2.30pm
Unravelling the dragons tail.
In a world that is often challenging our body and mind can become hardened, stiff and contracted. This workshop is purely about softening, and we explore a sequence that softens the feet, loosens up the legs, and tonifies the kidneys, great for relaxing the nervous system. We focus on both bodies being relaxed. And moving with effortless effort.
2.30 - 5pm
Invigorating the Fluid Body
We want to be movable and also we want to be unmovable (centred). Lets practice creating rhythm and mobility from a balanced space, inviting life to flow for fluidly. Bring the dance alive as we move from the tail to the centre, invigorating the chi flow from legs into the hips. Explore the perfect Fit and the limits.
Sunday July 28th
9 - 11.30am
Spiralling Up
Beyond the world of right and wrong, their is a feild, Ill meet you there.
When we let go we are able to adapt and connect to the life around us. Our heart has an intelligence of its own. Lets get out of the mindset of what we are doing, and step into simply embodying how. Spiral the body, weave something unique together and discover that more contact is better, and there is no need to force anything.
12.30 - 3pm
Flying Dragon
Ultimately we get to dance with life with both wings open wide. Gracefully soaring, and simultaneously being intentional.
We finish the series of workshops with some acro therapeutics that will bring laughter, joy and a new found sense of surrender as you are supported to feel elevated and light. And experience being a unwavering acnhor for another to float. Sometimes the best things are the most simple. Less is More.
Each workshop on its own is $75
All four $280
