About your trip
This is a small, intentional Ayurvedic & Thai Medicine Immersion for teachers and dedicated practitioners and students seeking a deeper, lineage-rooted understanding of holistic healing practices.
Each day follows a consistent Ayurvedic morning rhythm (dosha balancing, meditation, breathwork, yoga, self-care), followed by alternating focus days of Ayurveda and Thai medicine. The week includes study of doshas, digestion, lifestyle practices, Thai bodywork techniques, compassionate touch, hands-on partner work, sound baths, sauna/cold plunge, cupping, and one-on-one Thai bodywork sessions — all held within a quiet, reverent container by the sea.
This is an introverted and nourishing experience designed for depth, integration, and mentorship rather than escape.
