What it's about
This New Year's retreat with Oliver Chamorro is a six-day immersion in Osteothai for the breathing process, held as a residential retreat in the mountains of Andalusia. The breathing process is presented as a unifying mechanism linking the body's systems, and the training focuses on restoring its natural expansion and retraction.
Using dynamic and static techniques, participants work on the rib cage, the lungs and heart (the three cylinders), the diaphragms as the horizontal axis, and the shoulder complex, and are introduced to the primary respiratory movement of the craniosacral system. OsteoThai teaching and hands-on practice run each morning and afternoon, framed by meditation, yoga, bhakti yoga, a New Year's Eve celebration and an optional hike on 1 January. A booklet and videos are included.
The retreat is for Thai massage practitioners, OsteoThai students and other bodyworkers with basic experience. It runs from 29 December 2026 to 4 January 2027 at Cortijo Casería del Mercado in the Alpujarras near Granada, mainly in English with translation into Spanish or Portuguese. Full-board prices are €1,190 to €1,450 depending on accommodation (early bird €1,090 to €1,350 for the first ten), with a €250 deposit.
