What it's about
The way out is (y)in, subtitled "towards a mindful touch", is the six-day advanced course (Massage Thai 3) of the Lulyani school. Starting from the description of traditional Thai massage as a meditation in movement, it invites participants to slow down and to connect meditation, silence and the power of touch, exploring the roots of touch with an emphasis on listening and the quality of presence.
Days alternate between periods of meditation and introspection and long hours of Thai massage practice. Touch is examined in detail so that it can be better understood and applied, and participants mainly learn techniques for entering the deeper layers of the tissues slowly. Meals taken in silence and a digital detox support the work, and intermittent fasting in the evening is possible.
Prerequisites are Massage Thai 1 and 2 or a ten-day beginners' course, and places are limited. It is taught by David Lutt from 20 to 26 November 2027 at the Maison d'Amis in Sainte-Cécile-les-Vignes near Orange. The course is residential: it starts at 18:00 on the first day and ends between 14:00 and 15:00 on the last, with teaching from 09:30 to 13:00 and 15:00 to 18:30 in between, in French and/or English. Accommodation and organic vegetarian meals are booked separately.
