SeiKi Hub was established in 2024 to promote SeiKi and support those on the Way of Touch.
It stands in service to SeiKi, students of SeiKi and a world in need of human touch. Its purpose is to build community and offer training and is open to anyone looking for the support of a skilled, experienced team and the companionship of a community dedicated to this art and to hara culture in general.
SeiKi Hub was initiated by Dr. Alice Whieldon and founded together with Alexandra Gelny and Maria Kokori.
Alice works in the lineage of the founder, Kishi Akinobu, having worked closely with him and co-authoring Sei-Ki: Life in Resonance. She has been presenting SeiKi workshops for 25+ years. Alexandra and Maria have both been dedicated to SeiKi for 15+ years and bring a wealth of experience to this work.
Sei-Ki has been defined in various ways. It is therapeutic bodywork; it is full engagement in life; a fresh take on health with roots in Zen. As such, it is ancient wisdom that stands in the present with a view to the future; it is a revolution in touch. By any definition, the world needs more of it.
From the receiver’s viewpoint, SeiKi is powerful, deep, therapeutic bodywork. Performed by a skilled practitioner it is deeply relaxing and restorative, typically resulting in the easing of emotional, mental and physical dis-ease.
From the practitioner’s point of view, it is the Way of Touch; a Zen art in the Shiatsu lineage of Kishi Akinobu. It requires commitment to self-development and service; the cultivation of calm, of wisdom and mu-shin (no mind) in addition to mastering skilled touch and safe hands.
