Fascial Freedom: A Self-Care Workshop

There is a language spoken within your body, a living conversation of water, sensation, and memory. Your fascia is the voice. It carries your history, your healing, and your light. When you learn to feel into your fascial web with patience and presence, when you feel and listen rather than force, the fascial system begins to soften, unwind, and guide us home to ourselves.

At Breitenbush Hot Springs, healing is reflected in every element: the warmth of mineral waters rising from the earth, the forest growing tenderly back from the fire, the river reshaping its path through stone and moss. This is the perfect landscape to explore your own renewal. Over this immersive weekend, you’ll move through a sequence of fascial self-care explorations designed to awaken awareness, restore mobility, and open the body’s innate flow. 

As the sessions unfold, you’ll learn how to listen to and feel your fascial system: to sense where it holds tension, to wait without pushing, and to recognize the moment it begins to release. You’ll discover that stillness is not the absence of movement, but the presence of profound intelligence. In those quiet moments of allowing, your body reorganizes itself into balance.

Each session builds gently on the one before, guiding you from awareness, to surrender, to flow. Between sessions, you’re invited to soak in the healing pools, enjoy nourishing meals, wander the river path, or rest beneath whispering trees. Every part of the land participates in your healing, mirroring your resilience and capacity to regenerate.

Developing fascial literacy is at the heart of this workshop. Learn how to recognize fascial restrictions and what fascial release actually feels like in your body. You’ll learn core practices of breath, gentle traction, micro-movement, and restorative stillness, inviting softening without strain. You will translate this into a simple self-care routine tailored to your needs and season of life. 

Led by Abigail Southgate, John Barnes trained Myofascial Release therapist and founder of Fascial Freedom Method with over fifteen years of experience, this workshop offers both structure and spaciousness, with the tools to learn, the space to feel, and the safety to open. Abigail’s teaching integrates presence, science, and soul to create an atmosphere of trust and gentle transformation.

By the end of the weekend, you will leave feeling deeply renewed—lighter in your body, clearer in your heart, and connected to a quiet power within. 

Come ready to soften. To listen. To be held by forest and water as you remember your capacity for healing.
Your fascia—and your freedom—are waiting.
