What it's about
The sixth Thai Massage Sangha Festival brings the Sangha School's international gathering to Thailand, the homeland of traditional Thai massage. Under the theme "The Art of Connection: Touch, Presence, Metta", the two-day festival explores how conscious touch, inspired by loving-kindness, can become a bridge between body, mind and heart.
The programme combines Thai massage and Osteothai classes and masterclasses with mindful movement, assisted stretches, rhythmic compressions, yoga and meditation. It opens with a traditional Wai Khru ceremony honouring the teachers and the lineage of the practice. Each day has morning classes from 9:30 to 12:30 and afternoon classes from 14:00 to 17:00, with registration from 8:00 on the first day and yoga and movement at 9:00 on the second. Presenters are still to be announced.
The festival is open to newcomers and experienced practitioners and limited to 40 participants. It takes place on 13–14 February 2027 at ITM International Training Massage School, 59/9 Chang Puek Road, Soi 4, Chiang Mai. The festival pass costs €130 when booked before 25 December 2026 and €170 afterwards; the payment is non-refundable unless the organisers cancel.
