The Sanctuary 2009-2010

Phew…what a high season! New Years Eve on a full moon, the “wedding of the century” (thanks to Kike and Brad), circus performers, stunning open mic nights every Thursday, Belly Dance shows….The Sanctuary has been alive and glowing once again.

There are two types of season at The Sanctuary Thailand: “high season” and “intimate season”. In high season there is an energy of fullness, vitality, activity and celebration. Bungalows are full, workshops are brimming, parties are vibrant and the season passes us by in a colorful whirl. Intimate season is the time to kick back a little, settle in a hammock and have deep one-to-ones with all those people you have passed by (or danced by) in high season.

Pyramids Galore!

Lots of new structures have appeared in The Sanctuary Gardens:

The Tea Temple appeared in The Sanctuary Gardens, a place to chill out, drink tea, watch consciousness documentaries and find out what’s on. With it came the new healing areas; wooden salas with pyramid roofs boarding the river for all of the healing available.

The other new addition was the new hall…The Prana Pyramid. Also with a roof based on the sacred geometry of the Grand Pyramids, lined up with the cardinal directions. This stunning hall opened in New Year and has been filled with workshops and classes ever since.

Ecstasy and Transformation

This bay has always attracted people who are coming to explore the nature of life, find out who they are and express creativity.

Our workshops reflect this, and this year an influx of ecstatic workshops….Biodanza, Ecstatic Dance, Trance Dance, Tantra, Holotrophic Breathwork and the Taoist Practices, in addition to our usual Belly Dance, Healing, Bodywork Trainings and Shamanism. We have been privileged to have had some world-known teachers, such as Patricia Marcello (Biodanza teacher of 25 years experience), Gaia Ma (Skydancing Tantra Teacher), Andrew Fretwell (Universal Tao Senior Instructor), Peter Clifford (40 years + yoga experience!), Daniel Li Ox (Taoist Master). The best news is, all of them plan to return next year!!!

Coming Up Soon

In the future we plan to have even more of our juicy and transformational workshops. the month of May is seeing acupressure, Indian classical dance and Bollywood, Tao of Sexuality and Shamanic Healing.

And of course Open Mic continues to flourish every Thursday, bringing us everything from singer-songwriters to beat-boxers, dancers, comedy improvisation and spoken word.

The second high season starts up in June, July, August and September, and we will have our usual classes, meditations and range of workshops. Keep an eye on the webpage for updates…
