Course overview
This course introduces the Kawsay Amaru Massage approach, a therapeutic modality that integrates Western massage techniques (Swedish, neuromuscular, trigger point) with principles of Andean and Mapuche worldviews. Participants will explore the concept of the body as territory, the relationship between nature and healing, and practical touch techniques inspired by symbols such as the chakana, the amaru, and the Mapuche ñawis (eyes of energy, comparable to chakras). The course provides an intercultural perspective on manual therapy, offering tools to enrich professional practice in both clinical and community contexts.
