The retreat at a glance...
Arriving in Málaga, a transfer service will be waiting to bring you to the Las Mecias Regenerative Farm. Along the coast and up into the mountains, you’ll experience the true Andalucían landscape; endless fields of olive and almond trees, and the sparkling Mediterranean sea. Once you arrive and after introductions and orientations, we have our first family-style meal and an early night after a big travel day. For the following 3 mornings, it’s early morning al fresco breakfasts while the Sun warms your skin, followed by class for a few hours, a tea break, some more class before lunch, and a siesta before the afternoon session. Each evening, we gather for a communal family style meal, and then the evening is for you to enjoy. Watch the Sun disappear behind one mountain and the Moon rise from another, go for a stroll with a new friend, or simply curl up with a book. On the last 2 days, the days are slower paced, with a later breakfast, optional massage treatments, relaxing time by the pool, or as much hiking as you like. On one afternoon, we’ll be taking you on a local wine tasting and bodega tour, as well as a visit to a local town for some shopping and lunch. And, on the final evening, we’ll celebrate the week with a Sobremesa style dinner laden with local, seasonal delicacies.
The learning experience...
Thai Massage has a rich cultural history and is practiced all across the world as a deeply effective movement therapy. The gentle and flowing, passive movements of Thai can improve local circulation, increase range of motion and support increased mobility and function for all types of bodies.
This course is exceptional in that you will learn to apply traditional techniques of a full-body Thai protocol for both floor and table; while also using the individual moves as an integrative expansion of any type of work you are already successfully using in your practice. You will be fluent with Thai massage as a stand-alone treatment, while also expanding skills in every other facet of your work.
