The Summer Residency is a Once a Year Event.

The Thai Massage Summer Residency is more than a training program, it’s a transformative 10-week journey that honors the spiritual and healing traditions of Thai massage. This one-of-a-kind residency combines intensive technical training with meditation and fieldwork, creating a holistic experience that nurtures participants on many levels.

It’s designed for mindful individuals who seek to embrace Thai massage as both an art form and a spiritual practice.

Starting with the 2-week beginner’s course, we follow Asokananda’s advice to repeat this fundamental class.

A 3-day meditation retreat at Pa Pae offers a beautiful opportunity to connect with the spiritual and healing traditions of Thai massage. During these 3 full days of staying within the temple, you’ll have the chance to start, build, or strengthen your own personal meditation practice. Following Buddhist precepts, you will be invited to make a donation for your time there.This short but meaningful meditation retreat is optional.It will occur this year between 29 July to 1 August 2026.

The retreat is followed by a week to review and deepen the acquired knowledge in the bridging course, given by a teacher who will be aware of your recent meditation experience.
