I don’t have the words to express the conflicting waves of emotion I’m feeling at the news of Ajhan Pichest’s transition to the next world ✨
I feel immense gratitude as one of the many students Pichest has touched in his lifetime combined with visceral waves of sadness and loss. And also radiant joy for getting to share this space-time continuum with him for a small spell and the knowing that he will always be with us and shine through each of us in different ways.

Seeing swarms of his students tied up in knots and tears he’d probably be saying to all of us, ‘Uh oh! Headache!! Oh, I love you! Dukkah, mai?’ - His teachings of non-attachement. I haven’t mastered that one yet!!

Sending much love out to his family, community, student siblings and to Pichest on his journey 🤍💫

Thank you Ajhan Pichest for pouring so much love, truth telling, humor, wisdom and compassion into this world 🤍

Sa bai di’i kah! Happy Songkran ✨🤍✨Thai New Year! Songkran is derived from a Sanskrit word meaning ‘to move or to step forward’ 💓🛼✨ Also if you were in Thailand today you’d be participating in a country wide water fight - dousing and getting doused on all sides with water guns, water balloons, buckets of ice water, hoses - staying dry is not an option! You would also gather with family and friends, eat scrumptious food, dance and rest 🌟 Have any of you been in Thailand during Songkran? I’d love to hear your stories!! I have yet to experience it myself.

I realized that in looking to drum up participants to join me in my (super fun!! imho) workshops, I’m guilty of helping to perpetuate the myth that Thai is all about stretching…Searching through photos to entice folx to join me for workshops, I often gravitate to the stretch photos as they look fun and beautiful! And I’m not alone - do a search for Thai massage and you will see all sorts of pretty, and pretzely, stretchy representations. But isn’t this Thai bodywork in a nutshell? Why no, no it is not. Lengthening and stretching is one aspect that can be extremely helpful and therapeutic when done correctly with clear intention, yet it is not what is called for in every situation. And it is not necessarily even used in every session. So what is it all about? The best way to find out is to experience it! Come in for a session or join me in a workshop. Last Saturday’s Lower Body Thai inspired table class was a blast! Still a few spots open in this Saturday’s upper body class. If you can’t make it, no worries, there shall be more classes in the future!
