We are a traditional program emphasizing small , personal classes given in the Master/ Apprentice relationship style. Apprentice style training is quite different from participating in western style programs and large group or corporate style. In apprentice style training you work closely and personally with the Master instructor or directly under the Masters supervision and guidance. This provides an intensely personal experience.
In our type of program you are learning in the very same way this information was first communicated to us and in the manner it was authentically passed down through the generations. The Thai call the Master Instructor an "Aacharn" or "Aachan". Our Aachan, Dr. James is a 37th. generation master of formally recognized Thai Traditions and has been personally recognized many times for this in Thailand. No other western Instructor has similar or equivalent recognitions. (For a Bio on Aacharn J. Click Here!).
As you work with Aachan J. expect to be treated with dignity and respect. However, at the same time please know that the same is always required from students and apprentices as well. Aachan specializes in helping apprentices find their path and gifts relating to this work and works to bring the ancient traditions to life and practical expression for every one.
Our being "On The Land" is already providing many exciting opportunities for your participation in 2009/ 2010. Please consider joining with us.
