Special Event! We are excited to again offer this yearly gathering to the growing Thai massage and medicine community.

Due to the ongoing pandemic and to ensure everyone’s safety, we will not be meeting in-person in NJ. We are truly making lemonade out of lemons this year. Since it is still not safe for us to gather in person, we have come up with some fabulous opportunities for you that could only be possible in the virtual world.

We’ve been working hard to develop an unique LIVE virtual Gathering over zoom to support this beautiful community, share stories, educate, play, expand our hands-on Thai massage practice, deepen our TTM knowledge, and celebrate Songkran (Thai New Year)!

Although this event is online, it is live and interactive. There will be several hands-on sessions as well as panel discussions and more. To take advantage of the virtual format. We are excited to share that this year's event will feature a number of teachers joining us from Thailand, including a Wai Khru discussion by ITM-Chiang Mai master teacher Chongkol Setthkorn. And a hands-on demonstration by Pichet Boonthuume on treating the shoulder in his unique and legendary approach to massage. We are also honored to have another powerful teacher from Chiang Mai, Homprang Chaleekanha who is joining us LIVE from the Baan Hom Samunphrai Thai Massage and Herbal Medicine Center. Felicity Joy is also joining us LIVE from Chiang Mai to share her deep knowledge of abdominal massage.

In addition to the teachers from Thailand, we are bringing in some other new additions that we are excited about! Janice Gagnon of Spirit Winds School of Thai Massage in CA will be sharing about Jap Sen and the Mama Lek lineage. Leslie Ann Blodgett will offer a segment on Thai language.

And of course, we will have our fantastic regular presenters as well. Nephyr Jacobsen of the Naga Center in Oregon will present on Thai Traditional Medicine. Jill Burynski of Living Sabai in North Carolina will have a hands-on Thai Foot Massage presentation. Gregory Oed of Touch Alchemy in MD and David Wells of Wells Yoga in NY will be offering Reusi Dat Ton. Rose Griscom of ITM-USA in NJ & DE will be leading the Songkran celebration. Al Turner II of Two Souls Thai Massage in NYC will be offering a hands-on presentation. And while Pierce Salguero has offered his time to create space for teachers from Thailand, he will be with us in spirit and is sharing a list of resources and reading.

Schedule: Friday April 16, 4:30pm-9pm and Saturday April 17, 11:30am-4pm, for a total of 9hrs over 2 half-days. All times are in EST.

Discount tution of only $65pp is extended; registration deadline end of day April 13th; no late registrations accepted.
