June 2012 with Sarah Cheiky
Date: ETD - 6/10/2012 - 7/7/2012
Come to Thailand this summer!!! We are planning a trip with dates surrounding this Traditional Thai Healers Ceremony Thursday June 21st, 2012. Wai Khru (pronounced like the English words "why crew") is the most important spiritual practice of the Thai healer. Wai Khru means "honoring the teacher," and this is the formal ceremony in which a practitioner of Thai massage or other healing arts honors his or her teachers and lineage. It is interesting to note that not only traditional medicine practitioners, but shamans, fortune tellers, Thai kick-boxers (muay thai), and practitioners of many other arts each have their own Wai Khru ceremonies to pay homage to their own teachers and lineages. The Wai Khru of the Thai healer involves a ceremony through which the practitioners show their gratitude to the lineage of teachers who handed ancient medical knowledge down to the present day, and receive the blessings of the masters.  This will be an open trip. Meaning airline dates will be set. We respect every individuals need to experience the country as they see fit. There will be loose plans and suggestions for travel surrounding time spent in Thailand. Some as we know will venture to The Old Medicine Hospital wile others plan on eco-touring in the South.
