Registering for this in-depth immersion program will advance your understanding of the roots of traditional medicine in Thailand, including influences from Theravada Buddhism, Ayurvedic principles, Hatha Yoga, Chinese Medicine, and the Indigenous Practices of the Thai People. Participants will deeply engage with a range of Thai healing practices, including Thai herbal medicine, dietary theory, the theoretical basis of Thai massage, Thai spirit healing, Buddhist healing meditations, and much, much more. This is a highly recommended class for anyone who is currently practicing Thai massage and is interested in having a deeper understanding of the traditional Thai medical model in which its rooted.

During the Thai Medicine Theory portion of this immersion program, you will be exposed to 1-day of Theravada Buddhist philosophy as it relates specifically to the development of Traditional Thai Medicine (TTM). In the remaining days of the course, you will learn the other influences that helped to develop TTM into what is currently practiced today. (See individual course description for more details.)

Theravada Buddhism making its way to the Tai people between 200BC - 200AD was the most influential to the culture and medical practices of the Tai's. Of all other influences experienced by the Tai, Theravada Buddhism had the single most important influence to the spiritual, cultural, and medical practices of the Tai's.

The 5-days of in-depth classroom learning will be capped off with a 3-day Traditional Thai Massage & Medicine Symposium. We've gathered together the top names in the field to present various topics such as Thai herbal medicine preparation, luesii dat ton, healing meditation, chanting and rituals, anatomy and Thai massage. The Symposium will expose each participant to a wide array of topics all opened up under the rubic of Traditional Thai Massage & Medicine where you will see the theories and discussions from the first 5-days of the immersion program alive and in practice with actual teachers and practitioners of these medical disciplines.
