The Way of The Peaceful King Warrior I Return to The Land of Fire and Ice To channel the elements into embodied being I walk the path that has been laid for me by the divine intelligence who works in mysterious ways Born of fire, determined to protect The old ways, threatened to be forgotten Determined to protect The embryo of original innocence A warrior of the sea at heart My mind dreams into being the many lives I’ve lived before this one Dreams take form in this auspicious moment of manifestation I surrender to this portal of the Lion’s Gate I nourish the center, never collapsing in I am grateful to my tribe of Warriors of love I am grateful to all of the ancestors, those well, and those that were tainted by the trials and tribulations of the times For the Boones and hardships are intertwined into our genetic past Intertwined into our karmic allowance Showered down by the Old Gods The Kingdom is inside and outside I am the truth and I am the illusion One foot in the Ethereal One foot in the material I walk the edge between worlds Masculine Yang exterior Feminine Yin interior Make the two into one, know thy self I remember now… When the mamas and papas were equals Breaking bread with distant nations Traveling nomadic across tundras and alien landscapes Incanting spells on skin drums Echoing prayers to the Old Ones For the ancient future to come to pass We are the living dream of all who came before I am the old one I am the new one Deeper than before Join me in this grand honoring of the gift of this Life -MacKenzie Wilmott Murphy 8/8/24 Breidalsvik, Austurland, Iceland 📸: @anii_lives 🙏🐉☯️🌎🦋🤩

✨ Join us for a weekend immersion into the heart of Esalen® Massage, a bodywork approach renowned for its flowing, integrative strokes and the cultivation of deep presence. This introductory workshop invites you to explore the foundations of touch that nurtures, connects, and restores. ✨ Over the course of two days, we will: • Learn the signature long, unbroken strokes that invite the body to unwind and open to its natural rhythms. • Practice cultivating presence — slowing down, listening with the hands, and meeting each moment with curiosity and care. • Explore integration techniques that unify body, mind, and spirit, supporting a holistic experience for both giver and receiver. • Engage in movement, breath, and self-awareness practices to ground and center your own body as you work. ✨ This workshop is designed for anyone curious about the healing art of Esalen Massage — whether you are a complete beginner, an experienced bodyworker seeking to refresh your practice, or someone drawn to the power of mindful touch. Come away with practical skills, renewed connection to your own body, and a felt sense of how presence and flow can transform touch into art. ✨ Website link located in bio

Got to connect with Mac Murphy over the weekend. Mac is connected to the legendary Esalen Institute in Big Sur, a place that has inspired people in wellness, healing, and personal growth for decades. Mac, alongside Ashley Keith, is hosting a beautiful workshop called Flowing Presence: An Introduction to Esalen Massage® here in Marin on May 22–23. The workshop will cover foundational techniques, mindful touch, body mechanics, self-care, and the long integrative strokes that Esalen Massage is known for. Have a listen to what Mac has to say, and if it resonates with you, definitely check it out. I know there’s already a lot of interest around it, so you may want to jump in sooner rather than later. • • • #esalen #esalenmassage #marincounty #sananselmo #fairfaxcalifornia
