Courses & Activities

 

ChillOutWelcome to the ChillOut Society where you can learn various forms of massage, healing, chilling and living life to the full!

We’re a chilled out group of people at Edinburgh University (Scotland) whose sole pursuit is that of relaxation. We teach and share swedish massage, therapeutic massage, Indian Head Massage, Reiki, EFT etc. as well as good food, good hugs and good friendship. The ChillOut Committee are normally a great bunch to hang out with and open to new people and new ideas.

Massage courses

Most of the expertise and activity of ChillOut Society currently revolves around our massage courses. We teach different courses, including a one-day Indian Head Massage course, a 6-week beginner’s Swedish Massage Course and an intensive 8-week intermediate course in therapeutic & remedial massage techniques for students who wish to learn some of the tricks used by advanced practitioners without paying the full price for a professional course.

Reiki healing

We run Reiki attunements one or twice a year for those who wish to learn Reiki, and you can receive healing on a drop-in basis on Thursdays at Tollcross healing group, all year round (not organised by ChillOut, but many of us go there). The ChillOut healer’s group usually meets weekly- join the Reiki email list if you would like to swap healings with other healers.

Events Massage Service

The events massage service is available for societies, charities and private functions in Edinburgh doing seated shoulder massage (or even Reiki) - at ceilidhs, balls, fundraising events, parties, club nights- its all been done. Find out more…

Other activities

We run retreats in Roslin Castle a few times a year. EFT, timeline therapy, reflexology and hypnotherapy and many other workshops are all possible, depending on interest.

Most of the courses take place at Teviot House, Bristo Square, Edinburgh. To take part in the courses, you need to be a member of the ChillOut Society. The cost of joining is £3 for the year.
