"We are writing to tell you what a fabulous time our women's group had at Ojo del mar. Your welcoming ways, flexibility, and personality made our stay so enjoyable that we are still getting positive feedback from participants. We so enjoyed the wildness and beauty of the jungle while staying comfortable at Ojo del mar. Our guests were treated to simple but elegant accomodations and beautifully presented wholesome, healthy meals. Your care for the land contributed to the experience and made us especially glad for the opportunity to support your efforts. Thank you so much for establishing one of the best retreat centers in one of the most beautiful spots on the earth!"
In peace,
Gaiamore and Jewels

Christopher Ray: Thai Massage Therapist Intensive
February 02-11, 2012: Beginner's Course
February 27 -March 09, 2012: Advanced Course
|
This seven-day intensive is intended for massage practitioners who would like to deepen their bodywork, and learn how to maintain the health of their own bodies while giving massages. Topics covered include incorporatingbreathing techniques, sensing the body and the movement of energy, and minimizing physical effort during a massage. Students will practice using their feet, knees, elbows, and body weight. Specific therapeutic techniques will also be covered, including how to approach chronic sciatic, knee, back, shoulder, and neck pain and restrictions.
Each day begins with a yoga, meditative movement, or self-massage class, and continueswith hands-on practice interspersed with yogic discussions. All practice will take place on the floor, but the techniques can be applied to many styles of bodywork.
Meet Christopher:
In 1993, I walked away from my successful construction company in Evanston, Il, gave away or sold everything I had accumulated, and traveled to Costa Rica. On my return a year and a half later, life seemed to have stood still, but now I knew there was so much more than the illusion I had been absorbed in. This began my heart-opening journey into massage, bodywork and self-rediscovery. For the past nine years, I have traveled annually to Thailand, spending 2 to 3 months, not only to get my own body worked, but to continue my study in both Thai massage and Life. I have worked with many teachers there, but I always return to Master Pichest Boonthumme.
I feel we all have a bag of “issues” that burdens us; some of us carry bigger bags than others. I am here to continually look through my own bag, and clean out what no longer
serves me. Going through this process helps me feel brighter, healthier, and more capable of loving unconditionally. Receiving and giving bodywork helps me accomplish this.
I am passionate about assisting people in opening up their bodies, emptying the bags that weigh them down, and making life more effortless. (It’s easier than we realize!) Providing three to five-hour sessions combined with breath work has proven to be very transformative in this regard.
I am grateful to be able to witness the incredible power of deep, ego-less, spirit-connected bodywork and breath work in transforming peoples’ realities.
"Where the mind goes, energy follows.
It’s not good, it’s not bad, it just is."
