Massage Community


Aimee has closed the "Portland LMTs Connect" Meetup Group. There is a "Massage Therapist Club" Meetup Group based in Portland, Oregon, open to all.
 
On Tuesday, November 9th a group of us met to discuss what we want in a massage community. It was a fun potluck. We discussed our top priority need in the massage community and we scheduled trades with each other. We decided to call ourselves the Massage Guild. We meet on the 2nd Tuesday of the month.

I've been thinking about the Massage Guild. Rather than having it be a lot of work and pressure on us trying to make things happen, like a directory and a union and a temp service and a website and, and, and..., we could focus on spending time together and getting what we need like trades and potlucks and just talking about stuff. Letting that flush itself out, maybe we'll grow and naturally these things that we need and desire will start to come together.

I know I have enough on my plate and often just need some fun time (potlucks) with good people and TLC on the table. I think as a group we would grow because other LMTs need those things as well. Once we are larger and have a rhythm we could branch out into making things happen.

What do you think?

Here's a link to a Massage Guild in Maine

Next Massage Guild meeting: 
Tuesday, December 7th, 7:30pm, at my house.
