What is ISD?

The first International Shiatsu Day took place on Sunday June 13th 2021 The third edition will be on Sunday June 11th 2023. It is open to all kind of events involving shiatsu organized by associations, scools, groups and individuals. Our aim is to create a collective event to promote our Passion and Profession to a wide audience.ISD is free from any affiliations with political parties, groups or logos: there are no boundaries when dealing with vitality. When we connect through shiatsu we can share a pathway and a lifestyle that levels out any difference. Anybody who wants to take part is invited to create events on line or in presence with total autonomy as regards location, duration and modality (conference, lessons for practice, treatments...) The initiative has no financial objective and there is no participation fee, except the costs that may occur while planning your own activities: the aim of the event is to bring like-minded people together on this symbolic day respecting rules and regulations of your own Country.

Statement of intent of the International Shiatsu Day

This manifesto is an invitation to take part as a key player to a collective event that aims to reach a wide audience: a symbolic day to feel united and say Shiatsu in all languages of the world. This initiative has been taken by a large number of people who want to create an event free from any affiliation to political parties or economic gain, an event inviting all Shiatsu practitioners to go beyond barriers and labels. We dream of a moment where various branches of the practice will come together to act not as a single member but as part of one great heart, the Heart of Shiatsu.

That is how we imagine this day: beyond styles, trends and logos. A vital wave of energy involving all those (schools, associations, groups, individuals) who have discovered Shiatsu and practice it, teach it, receive it and love it!

It is no coincidence that this initiative has found its biggest momentum in such exceptional circumstances that the whole world is going through due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Together we can bring a sign of hope and trust to a fearful and distressed society: thanks to everyone’s commitment this ISD will resonate around the world. We can all see how important our constant work is in making sure that people and society can live well together in a balanced and harmonious way. We shiatsu practitioners firmly believe that Shiatsu can help! Everyone of us, whatever role or context, can do his part to promote the event in his community, group and workplace.

We cannot do all this as individuals. An old japanese proverb says that “ Once a fly is stuck to a horse’s tail she can ride tens of miles”. We can do the same as we have a magnificent horse called Shiatsu: let’s start riding!

Our aim is to create a group action that will express itself within individual and creative events n the most comprehensive way to raise awareness in Government organizations and public opinion about the values, benefits and utility of Shiatsu practice. Shiatsu is helpful to support emotional stress arising from to Covid-19 and to promote good quality of life, which is necessary to maintain a good psychophysical and immune well-being.
