Fascia Release · Deep Tissue · Nervous System Attunement
Level 1 Certificate
Led by Dan (Dan Healing Arts) · Hosted at Casa Arkaana · Level 1 Certificate Included
Touch is the first language. Before words, before thought — the body speaks and listens through contact. What Dan teaches here is not a technique. It is a way of being present with another person's body so completely that the tissue begins to release on its own.
Myofascial Somatic Liberation works with fascia — the connective web that holds everything together, and holds everything we've been through. Slow, sustained, emotionally attuned touch releases tension patterns that have lived in the body for years. Not by force. By presence.
For seven days, in five acres of ancient jungle, a small group of practitioners will learn to slow down, to listen, and to trust what they feel beneath their hands. Two full bodywork sessions every day — observing Dan, practicing with each other, receiving the work in return. The body learns through experience, not through notes.
Casa Arkaana provides the container: the jungle, the temazcal, the cenote-fed pool, the meals, the ceremony. Dan brings the teaching. What emerges between them is up to the group.
May this training return you to the intelligence that was always in your hands — waiting to be trusted.

Dan shares the philosophy behind the work — what myofascial somatic liberation is, how he teaches, and what participants carry home.
Dan adapts the pace to the group. This is a feel for the rhythm.
The rhythm of learning, practice, and rest.
Dan has trained practitioners across Europe and Mexico — from Portugal to Zürich, Mazunte to Tulum. He brings technical depth and a quality of presence his students describe as transformative.
One date only — November 15–21, 2026. All prices include accommodation, meals, and the full training.

"I came into this course knowing basically nothing about massage and left feeling entirely confident. Within a few days of completing it I was taking appointments and receiving exceptional reviews."
— Rebecca, Canada · Level 1 Graduate
"I was blown away by the deeper inner effects that this training immersion gave me. The techniques we learned were exactly what I was always looking for. Dan's energy and style of teaching are both so comfortably connectable."
— Lasse, Finland · Level 1 Graduate
"I arrived simply to learn how to give a somatic massage, but I left with so much more. It was a spiritual unfolding, a reconnection to something timeless within. I cannot recommend this course more highly. I've already signed up for Level 2, knowing that this path is not just training — it is a journey of awakening."
— Laura, UK · Level 1 Graduate
No. This training is designed for both those brand new to touch and experienced practitioners wanting greater depth. Dan meets you where you are. Many graduates have gone from "knowing nothing about massage" to taking paying clients within weeks of completing the training.
Yes. You receive a Level 1 Certificate upon full participation. The training is highly practical — by the end you will be able to deliver a complete myofascial somatic bodywork session. Many graduates continue to Level 2 and begin working with clients professionally.
Each bodywork session has three stages: first you observe Dan demonstrate the technique with full commentary; then you practice giving it to a partner; then you receive the same technique in return. This reciprocal model means your body learns through direct experience — not just instruction. You give two full sessions and receive two full sessions every day.
Fascia is the continuous web of connective tissue that wraps every muscle, bone, nerve, and organ in the body. Myofascial release works with this tissue through slow, sustained pressure and movement — releasing tension patterns that live too deep for conventional massage. It addresses the physical, nervous system, and emotional body simultaneously.
A traditional Mexican sweat lodge ceremony. Asdru leads it on Day 4 — steam, heat, intention, and an optional ice bath directly after. In this training it serves as a deep integration ritual: the body softens and opens in ways that complement and deepen the bodywork practice.
All meals are included — breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day, fresh, local, and plant-forward. We accommodate vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free diets. Let us know when you register.
