🌍 Discover Shiatsu Events Across Europe

We’re delighted to introduce a new section in our website in the "events" section dedicated to events organised by our National Associations:

https://europeanshiatsufederation.eu/national-events/

This exciting initiative makes it easier than ever to discover workshops, seminars, conferences and gatherings taking place across Europe, opening new opportunities to learn, connect and travel within our vibrant Shiatsu community.

By sharing events more openly, we’re strengthening collaboration between associations and encouraging the exchange of knowledge, experience and friendship beyond national borders.

Whether you’re looking to deepen your practice, meet colleagues from other countries or simply experience Shiatsu in a new cultural setting, this page is your gateway to inter-European exchange.

💰 Prices for workshop participation are more affordable for members of ESF National Associations 👍🏾

Together, we’re opening doors, building bridges, and growing our European Shiatsu community.

✨ We invite all members to explore the new page and discover what is happening across Europe!

Today we celebrate the women who bring care, intuition and strength into the world of Shiatsu.

Women who hold space for healing.
Women who listen deeply through touch.
Women who support the wellbeing of their communities every day.

Your dedication, compassion and knowledge help keep the spirit of Shiatsu alive and evolving.

Thank you for the care you share with the world.

Happy International Women’s Day! 💚

🌿 Qi Field in Action 🌞

Last Saturday afternoon, I left my house with the intention of exploring a part of town I’d never visited before. I brought a few of my Shiatsu and Qigong flyers along, hoping to leave them in local spots.
I hopped on a bus, only to realize it was heading in the opposite direction—toward the airport and the industrial area. Luckily, I spotted a stop near the Lough, the peaceful little lake you see in the background of this page as well as on my Qigong flyers.
The sun was blazing on what was likely one of the hottest days of the summer: 27˚C, according to my phone.
“Okay,” I said to myself, embracing the detour. I wandered around the Lough, relaxed under a tree, and smiled at a duck chasing her little ducklings.
Eventually, I stopped by the roadside bar to indulge in the ice cream I’d been craving for days. I left a few flyers on the counter before returning to the Lough.
Sitting on the grass, I savored the moment and soaked up a little more sunshine.
To my surprise, on Sunday morning I received a message.
A woman had found one of my flyers, asked for more information about the class, and confirmed her attendance for Monday after my reply.
Come Monday evening, she was waiting at the entrance of the yoga studio where we practice. As it turns out, she’s a yoga teacher herself—curious about energy work. She had encountered Shiatsu for the first time just a couple of weeks earlier, before stumbling upon my flyers.
And just like that, she answered the call 💫
An enthusiastic new presence in the Qigong class, and a perfect example of the Qi Field in action.
🧘‍♀️ If you’re curious too, come explore with us. Classes open, flyers out, Qi flowing. 🌊
