Traveling and International Professional Massage Training
In my professional life as a certified massage therapist, over three decades, practice was always the most important thing. But apart from professional practice, both in my country and abroad, during meetings while traveling, also were very important: direct exchange of professional experience, participating in conferences or leading training, etc.
And during my private trips, also meeting other practitioners, because of my sociological, and cultural interests and learning about the status of massage in different countries.
My specific program is also available for those interested, but people and meetings with them are the most important. For obvious reasons, I am also interested in the practice and situation of people with visual impairments. But this is an additional topic. And one more aspect, my musical hobby. (...)
I trust that someday, however we will meet along the way. (...)
New challenges and program, in 2024: workshops and courses.
My idea of International training and traveling project MT Massage Therapist, since 1997, is related with exchanging professional experiences, directly relations with practitioners. This program has two levels: one-day workshops and weekend or longer courses. For professionals and those who are learning massage, Spa practitioners or body work trends. Also for visually impaired.

Training and Travel Project for Massage Therapist, since 1997, it is a combination of travel and leading workshops and direct exchange of experiences also with other practitioners. Trainings, workshops and presentations at conferences, is also as a result of my observations in: sociology, health promotion, psychosomatics and somatic responsiveness also allow me to learn more about other cultures, customs not only regarding professional massage, but the role of touch in interpersonal communication.

My additional hobby:
Music, video, projects, audio podcasts, Piotr Szczotka aka Peter Brush.
I used to play, but the guitar is not conducive to my profession because of the fingertips, especially if you often work with a human face. So the music stays on the weekends. A few years ago, before the next presentation at the conference, I was thinking what kind of background music should be used to convey the message and I thought: Why not my own music?
I went to small, recording studio and played some of my own compositions live, backing tracks, miniatures, impressions, that was the spontaneous goal. The owner of the studio asked me: Should I work with these recordings, improve them, etc? I thanked him and asked him to stay that way, live, without corrections.
A year ago I returned to playing and recording as a hobby, in a similar way, live music, without corrections, but as much as I am able on a recorder. And so I returned to my hobby. But there are more and more questions: What is this music that I use sometimes, and who is this Peter Brush? Exactly. So Piotr Szczotka aka Peter Brush. A few of my projects below, guitar, flutes, etc, have a nice listening experience. (...)
Muzyka, video, projekty, audiopodcasty, Piotr Szczotka czyli Peter Brush. Kiedyś grałem, ale gitara ze względu na opuszki palców nie sprzyja mojej profesji, zwłaszcza jeśli często pracujesz z ludzką twarzą. Więc muzyka pozostaje na weekendy.
Kilka lat temu przed kolejną prezentacją na konferencji myślałem jaki wykorzystać podkład muzyczny, tak aby oddawał przekaz i pomyślałem: Dlaczego nie muzyka własna?
Poszedłem do kameralnego studia i na żywo zagrałem parę własnych utworów, podkładów, miniatur, impresji, taki był spontaniczny cel.
Właściciel studia zapytał mnie: Czy ma z tymi nagraniami popracować, poprawić, itd? Podziękowałem, poprosiłem aby tak zostało, na żywo, bez poprawek.
Rok temu powróciłem do hobbystycznego grania i nagrywania, w podobny sposób, na żywo, bez poprawek, ale już na tyle, na ile sam jestem w stanie, na rekorderze. I tak powróciłem do hobby. Ale coraz częściej są pytania: A co to za muzyka z której korzystam i kto to jest ten Peter Brush? No właśnie, Piotr Szczotka aka Peter Brush. Kilka moich projektów poniżej, gitara, flety, etc, miłego słuchania życzę.
Prelude touch movement breath by Peter Brush. Part I
Musical impressions about massage and body work.
Preludium dotyk, ruch, oddech, muzyka, zgodnie z sugestiami, to próba kilku muzycznych impresji, motywów właśnie o masażu i o nurcie body work. O wyzwaniach które są przed każdą sesją, zwłaszcza kiedy spotykamy człowieka po raz pierwszy. Nawet przy najlepszym profesjonalizmie i warsztacie, nie da się do końca przewidzieć jak będzie przebiegał każdy zabieg, sesja, zwłaszcza jeśli mamy na uwadze bardziej subtelne i subiektywne reakcje.
Tak jak w muzyce jest harmonia, w poruszaniu się człowieka jest gracja, tu w podwójnym znaczeniu słowa, także jako łaska. Ale bywa że pojawia się także dysonans, niekoniecznie jako fałszywe nuty, ale taka jest także muzyka na żywo, bez "studyjnego lukrowania".
Pracując z człowiekiem w nurcie body work, biorąc pod uwagę aspekty psychosomatyczne, jest: wpierw prosty dotyk, ruch, oddech i tak się zaczyna zarówno masaż jak i muzyka.
Jest czasem bardzo zróżnicowana ekspresja, amplituda, częstotliwość, jak w muzyce.
Czasem warto sięgnąć po porównania, inne narzędzia, np. muzykę, aby wytłumaczyć.
Cztery motywy które były wykorzystywane podczas moich prezentacji na konferencjach, kongresach, warsztatach, wykładach. Tutaj w pierwszej mini kompilacji.
Miłego słuchania i refleksji życzę. Preludium dotyk ruch muzyka
2. Dotyk i przestrzeń.
3. Prosty dotyk.
4. Dotyk, ruch, oddech, muzyka I.
Preludium dotyk ruch muzyka II.
