What it's about
The seventh Thai Massage Sangha Festival is a gathering of Thai massage practitioners and teachers from around the world in the Alpujarra mountains of southern Spain. Its theme, "Root to Rise: The Art of Grounded Touch", explores how stability creates the conditions for freedom and how presence turns touch into a space of healing.
Over four days the festival offers Thai massage and Osteothai workshops, yoga, meditation, music and ecstatic dance. Presenters include Sandra Jersby, Ale Ruiz, Sébastien Valla, Diego Marquete, Roland and Nathalie Combes (Wùo Taï), Oliver Chamorro and Gonza Pevi. A pre-festival on 15–16 June in Granada city offers 12 hours of Thai massage on the table with Sébastien Valla, and a post-festival day on 21 June is taught by Ale Ruiz and Sandra Jersby.
The festival is open to all levels and limited to 75 places. The main festival runs from 17 to 20 June 2027 at Cortijo la Casería del Mercado near Granada; classes are in English with volunteer translation into Spanish. Prices with accommodation and meals range from €370 to €530 depending on lodging and booking date (€150 deposit). The pre-festival costs €420 and the post-festival €180 before 1 May, then €210.
