RECHARGE – with Thai massage (both giving and receiving), vega(n) food, forest bathing, hammock time, campfire and sauna.
REFRESH – expect yoga and meditation, but also optional hiking, swimming, or even AcroYoga and slacklining.

In daily life we are often seen as individuals, responsible for multiple tasks, and dealing with it on our own. But we have an amazing power in being a community. We think it is important to take time for each other, to listen, to play, to communicate, to flow together.
And mostly: to touch, with intention.

We are motivated to help you on your way to get comfortable with giving and receiving skillfull touch, through the wonderful art of Thai Yoga Massage. An ancient practice that has been passed on for centuries, and even refined more in recent decades.
We are honored to share these skills with you.

WHAT TO EXPECT
There will be 7 days of Thai Yoga Massage training, combined with knowledge of shiatsu. You will be provided with study materials.
You will receive information through spoken word, written material, demo’s and guided practice. Then you will both give and receive massages, under guidance of the teachers.
The training is suitable for both beginners as well as more experienced participants, as we will go deeper into the skills and traditions.
Thai Yoga Massage is fully clothed and explicitly non-sexual. There is much care and consideration for personal boundaries and communication around that.
Besides the Thai Yoga Massage training there are also other activities we do together, such as the daily morning meditation and yoga practice to wake up the soul and body in a gentle way.
There is also time for activities beside the provided training, and for alone-time, being in nature and integrating all.
There will be a minimum of 8 participants and a maximum of 14. This ensures there will be plenty of personal learning opportunities and guidance.
