The Four Foundations of Anu Mati are: Movement, Massage Meditation and Magic and it is through these mediums we nuture and support the evolution of our culture into one of mutual support and love.

Anu Mati offers various forms of massage and body work, dance and movement classes, meditation, workshops on health and wellness both for you and our planet. In the spirit of community we offer monthly community gatherings and events where we hope to encourage thoughtful, stimulating connection with others through the creative arts.
