What it's about
This 10-day certified training tour in northern Thailand with Sebastian Bruno, co-founder of ThaiVedic, explores the heart of Thai massage and traditional Thai medicine. Thai massage is presented as one branch of the "great tree" of Thai medicine, whose roots are woven together by Buddhist principles and element theory.
The first four nights, in northern Chiang Mai, are devoted to the foundations of Thai massage in the context of the Thai healing arts: its history and origins, Thai element theory, the concept of condensation and dissipation, the four Brahmaviharas, principles of touch, movement meditation and Reusi Dat Ton (Thai yoga). The following five days explore Chiang Mai, Doi Saket and Chiang Dao, with visits to local healers, Reusi, teachers, temples and power spots, and experiences of Yam Khang (fire foot treatment), Ched Hak (scraping), Tok Sen (tapping therapy) and herbal compresses.
The tour runs from 23 November to 2 December 2026. The price is €2,299 early bird or €2,599 regular, including nine nights' accommodation and three vegetarian meals a day during the four-night stay in northern Chiang Mai. A non-refundable deposit of €500, charged as AUD 850, reserves a place; the balance can be paid in USD, EUR or AUD. Places are limited.
