Art of the Creator through man of knowing and compassion
Jin Shin Jyutsu® physio-philosophy is an art of harmonizing the life energy in the body. Born of innate wisdom and passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth, the Art had fallen into relative obscurity when it was dramatically revived in the early 1900's by Master Jiro Murai in Japan.
After clearing himself of a life-threatening illness, Master Murai devoted the rest of his life to the research and development of Jin Shin Jyutsu, gathering insight from a range of experiences and resources, including the Kojiki (Record of Ancient Things). The resulting knowledge of Jin Shin Jyutsu was then given to Mary Burmeister, who brought it to the United States in the 1950's.
Mary Burmeister began teaching the Art to others in the early 1960's, and today there are thousands of students throughout the United States and around the world.
Mary Burmeister JSJ works in conjunction with Jin Shin Jyutsu Spirit Mind Body (JSJSMB), the nonprofit Jin Shin Jyutsu faculty group. JSJSMB is where you will find the full listing of classes, in person and online, along with instructor information.

No cost. No commitment. Just come and explore how the Art can be shared with animals.
Whether you’ve studied with me before, are familiar with Jin Shin Jyutsu, or are simply curious about how the Art can be shared with animals, come join us.
We’ll spend some time together with JSJ self-help, explore simple flows for animals and leave plenty of time for questions and conversation.
I’ll also share more about the two fall classes and what makes each experience different.
No cost. No commitment. Just come and explore.

Seven weeks, from home
Presented in English by Adele Leas
Seven weeks to slow down, explore the Depths, and look more closely at how the anchor steps of the 12 organ flows can be adapted for animals.
Seven weeks to slow down, explore the Depths, and look more closely at how the anchor steps of the 12 organ flows can be adapted for animals.
We’ll have time to practice, revisit, ask questions, and notice what changes when we work with multiple species. And because the course unfolds over several weeks, there is room for the material to settle into your own practice rather than rushing from one subject to the next.
You don’t need to have a long history of working with animals or with JSJ. This course is open to all. If you feel curious about bringing the Art into relationship with animals, this is a wonderful class for you.

Come away and immerse yourself in the refuge
Presented in English by Adele Leas
Four glorious days surrounded by hundreds of rescued animals – fewer distractions and more time to practice, observe, and simply be with the animals.
Early-bird registration ends September 8, 2026
Four glorious days surrounded by hundreds of rescued animals. Four days with fewer distractions and more time to practice, observe, and simply be with the animals!
Alaqua has been my home base for more than 16 years, and I love what happens when students have the opportunity to spend extended time there. The animals become part of the learning. So does the place itself.
We slow down. We practice. We notice.
We learn from what is actually happening in front of us.
Whether you’re deeply experienced with JSJ or just beginning to explore how the Art can meet animals, that kind of spaciousness can change the way you see the work.
