IN TOUCH
Devotional Massage Training Retreat
4th - 10th April 2027 \ Zensi Retreat, Mudgee NSW
5 NIGHTS OF LUXURY
4 DAYS OF TRAINING, EMBODIMENT & WELLNESS
8 PLACES AVAILABLE
DEVOTION ~ HEALING ~ LUXURY
The first of its kind, this unique training retreat is going to be an immersive experience into the truest essence of my work.
The spaciousness and structure of this experience will allow me to take you deeper than I ever have in previous trainings.
You will have an embodied experience of what it means to be in complete devotion to the body, whilst becoming a stronger and more attuned conduit for healing.
In addition to learning and mastering the art of full-bodied Devotional Massage, this retreat is also about revealing, exploring and transforming the relationship you have with your own body, sensuality, receptivity, gifts and purpose.
Because the relationship we have with our own bodies and selves is just as important, if not more important, than our hands-on skills. As WE are the foundation of what we are capable of giving.
Held in an absolutely breathtaking and luxurious space, with time intentionally woven in to lounge, rest and indulge in the wellness facilities, it is my intention that you receive just as much as you give.
And that you leave this experience feeling rested, replenished, inspired, deeply connected and alive.

OUR HOME FOR THE 5 NIGHTS
Zensi Retreat,
Mudgee, NSW
Your home for the retreat will be Zensi Retreat, a breathtaking 33-acre sanctuary nestled within the Mudgee wine region.
Zensi is spacious, luxurious and deeply grounding. It's the kind of place that naturally asks you to slow down, soften and be fully present.
Between our days of immersive training, there will be time to simply receive. To stretch out beneath the sky, gather around the fire, soak, swim, sweat and unwind within the dedicated wellness space, complete with a dry heat sauna, magnesium spa and outdoor magnesium pool.
I chose Zensi because it was a match made in heaven (quite literally) and this work deserves an environment that embodied and supports the same qualities we will be exploring throughout the retreat.
Presence, spaciousness, devotion, sensuality luxury, connection, receptivity and a deeper return to the body.
OUR DAILY RHYTHM
SPACE TO RECEIVE, AS WELL AS GIVE
Part of the magic of this retreat will be allowing each day to unfold without needing to know every little detail in advance. I want there to be space for presence, curiosity and a little surprise along the way. While I won’t be giving you a detailed schedule below is a general overview of the rhythm of our days and some of the main moments we’ll move through together.
EMBODY & ARRIVE
Following breakfast and time to get ready, we will begin each day moving through different guided embodiment practices to facilitate deep connection, presence and sensual aliveness.
LEARN & DEEPEN
Through a combination of theory, reflection, hands on learning and partnered/ singular practices. Each day will have a specific focus, building on the last, as you master full body Devotional Massage.
EAT & NOURISH
You will be nourished through out each day, with locally sourced whole food produce. Enjoy an early breakfast, lengthy lunch and easeful dinner each day.
RELAX & REPLENISH
Each day you will have free time to rest and indulge in the wellness facilities, to ensure that you are pouring back into your body as needed and getting to enjoy the luxury Zensi has to offer
REST & INTEGRATE
Evenings may consistent of connection, solo time, or group wellness activities to support you in receiving the rest and integration needed.
COMMUNAL LIVING & WELLNESS
One of the things I love most about Zensi is the sense of luxury woven through every shared space. The expansive communal areas are warm, elevated and beautifully designed. An oversized lounge designed for sinking into, an expansive dining table made for shared meals, a luxurious kitchen, beautifully appointed bathrooms and generous outdoor lounging and dining spaces overlooking the property.
Our daily training will be held in the dedicated wellness space, where outside of training you’ll also have access to the sauna, heated magnesium spa and outdoor magnesium pool, creating so many opportunities to rest, receive, connect and indulge throughout the retreat.
MEET YOUR FACILITATORS
Zoe Butler
Founder of the Body Whispering Institute
Zoe is a massage therapist, bodyworker, educator and the creator of The Body Whispering Institute and In Touch, Devotional Massage.
Her work sits at the meeting point of refined hands on skill, intuition, ritual, presence and deeply intentional client care. Rather than teaching practitioners to simply memorise a sequence, Zoe teaches them how to listen with their hands, read the body, work with greater sensitivity and confidence and create treatments that feel seamless, intentional, healing and luxurious.
She is known for bringing together the detail of luxury spa with the depth, intimacy and humanity that can sometimes be lost within traditional treatment settings.
Through her trainings Zoe has created a way of working that asks practitioners to go beyond technique, it asks them to also consider and deepen the relationship they have with their own body and to their relationship with touch, receptivity, giving, God and their capcaity.
After running her two-day In Touch Devotional Massage training more than 15 times and welcoming over 100 therapists through the experience, the work had simply outgrown the current container.
This retreat is the deepest expression of the work and its philosophy she has ever shared.
Chelsea Faye
Chelsea is a deeply embodied practitioner who has trained across a range of modalities including Devotional Massage, Kundalini Activation, Kundalini Bodywork and Breathwork and well as specialising in sensual emboidment.
Throughout the retreat, Chelsea will be there as support for both Zoe and you. Helping to hold the space, support the practical elements of the training and guide us through sensual embodiment practices when needed.
She also brings something that is just as important to this kind of work: humour, playfulness and an infectious childlike joy.
Chelsea has a way of bringing lightness into a space, helping people soften, laugh, connect and feel completely at ease while still honouring the depth of the experience.
Zoe and Chelsea have co facilitated many events together, where they have also received feedback around how healing it is to witness their friendship, especially for women who have deep sisterhood wounds or who have never been given to permission to lean into deeper intimacy and love within their friendships.
