The membership will now hold at 50. Beyond 50, If there is a new member who is enrolled, then someone else will be disenrolled to make space for them. This is to promote 'activity' among members - if you're not active, within a 3 month window, you will likely be disenrolled as new members enroll. Surfing the site does not constitute 'activity' - attendance does.

The talk below was a lecture given by myself to Intro to Psych students at the University of Toronto, which demonstrated self hypnosis. I utilize a 'whole brain' approach to the massage sessions, which incorportes getting people into a light 'alpha' trance state, which is why I've included the info below. The TIME group is NOT a left brain experience alone (ie it's not about TEACHING massage) but rather it's a whole brain experience of learning to surrender, and 'let go' of certain agendas and limited thinking about self and others.

For all its triumphs and technical progress, mainstream Western medical practice militantly dismisses the role of emotions in the physiological functioning of the human organism. Its rejection of the mind/body unity is a classic case of denial. - Dr. Gabor Mate.

TIME has ramifications for anyone, It is NOT fundamentally about massage exclusively but about how we choose to make contact with ourselves and others..., (illuminating both our shadow and our light).
However on a practical basis, where else can you learn massage for $15 an hour while experiencing your own response to making contact with your cognitive, emotional, psychic, sexual and spiritual nature?

"Integral' refers to lines of development: Spiritual, cognitive, interpersonal, moral and affective (I would add "kinaesthetic" since giving a good, strong massage helps too.....)

TIME asks us examine who we are beyond persona and role.
From the role of your 'integral' trainer, objectives stem not from 'materialist' goals, but from integral ones.


Below is a scientific 'explanation' for the model that TIME is based on.
