About this trip

Connect with your sangha and yourself in a way that you never have before with what has been dubbed by past participants as "THAI CAMP." 

 

This 9-Day Thai Massage training program is perfect for anyone desiring a deep-dive into the study of the sacred healing art of Thai Massage. Tuition includes teaching and all course materials. Our time together will include focused and rigorous yet gentle study, group meditation, gardening, swimming in the local pond, and plenty of time for practice, rest and integration.


The training covers a full spectrum of massage workshops offered at the Bodhi Sangha School of Thai Massage as well as lifestyle practices, such as daily meditation, karma yoga, asana, pranayama, and more. 


*There is no charge for residing at Nine Mountain for the duration of this program, but it is expected that each participant contributes to the well-being of the space with regular karma yoga practices including but not limited to cooking, cleaning, gardening, and more.

Itinerary

Intro & Foundations
Introduction and Foundations Class (Phase 1 - 9am-6pm Sat/Sun)

Over the course of this first workshop, students will learn an hour and a half long form.  Practiced on the floor,  this form enables the therapist the use of elbows, knees, forearms and feet in a comfortable and efficient way that utilizes the body dynamic and ones own weight to distribute the force required for the application of the relevant techniques. The recipient lies relaxed and loosely clothed while the practitioner guides them through a series of yogic asanas and applies balancing touch to the body’s major energy lines and points. Thai Massage is an art whose ultimate objective is a perfected self-awareness through the joy of a mutually beneficial healing dance.  Level 1 provides the necessary foundation for future techniques to be based upon, but also can serve as a stand alone practice, in and of itself, as students will learn a complete form during this class.

This adventure was quite transformative. I was with a group for the final module in a 300 hour yoga course founded and shared by Todd Norian. This particular week was focused on the Chakra system. Outside of my yoga Kula, I found myself interacting often with the grounds and surrounding area of Earthdance - it was magical. The stone walls created imaginative stories to entertain my mind. There is a faerie house and rooms for dancing, art to fill the crevasses of your heart. OH! And the folks who work to maintain the guests needs and nurture the environment are a hoot! These artists, dancers, and amazing cooks who live here were such a pleasure to chat with and share dress up with! I am eager to return with my daughter and play some more.

Meals provided were absolutely outstanding. Staff at 9 Mountain were engaging and pleasant. Kelly arranged accommodation at Skyland Farm. Left this room after one night. Cleaning standards were lacking and all communication with the owner was by text. There was a cat litter box in the non-functioning shower in the guest bath. I believe this business suffers by not having the owner/operator on site. Found accommodation for balance of stay on my own.
