About this Event

2026 Spring Dance Weekend March 27th - 28st, 2026 Reflexolgy- We’ll create a space for giving, receiving and learning the techniques of foot massage to fellow dancers. Emphasis will be on healing through loving touch. Join us for the pleasure of intimacy and joy of learning how to release tension and restore body balance. Beginners are especially welcome. Bill Kennedy has taught yoga, massage, reflexology, and meditation for many years. Starting off as one of two pioneering teachers in the early days of yoga at the Cambridge Center for Adult Education with Patricia Walden, he then directed and hosted his own national TV series called Success without Stress reaching tens of millions of people including a demonstration of acupuncture. He has held numerous retreats which all started with Partner Reflexology. His regular Reflexology classes in pregnancy yoga at MIT Medical Department and at CCAE were evaluated as the most popular of all his teaching. He has a PhD in Physics and is a former Research Fellow in Mind Body Medicine at Harvard Medical School. A Reiki Master, and trained in Reconnection Healing Energy technique he believes the whole basis of healing is achieved through the loving acceptance of one Soul Friend for another.
