​​
Who is Gwyn?
​
Gwyn Williams is a movement based therapist that created Zenthai shiatsu school over 20 years ago.
On the surface, Zenthai is a fusion of Zen shiatsu, Thai massage and osteopathic technique, however beneath is an enriched conversation with an vibrant ever-changing life.
The dissolving of division into unity continues to be his inspiration and the aspects of community, connection and contribution are at the core of the practice.
Whilst many have been touched by the therapist programs and the multi layered offerings , the art has evolved in movement , an added solo practice and intention as it continues to evolve around Thich Knat Hahn’s powerful reminder -
“ When you touch something with awareness you touch everything “
Gwyn's work can be explored through his books’ The Zen of touch ' and 'Connection to Source”, the www.zenthaishiatsu.com website or the Zenthai healing centres in Australia and Bali.

Fluid flow
It is the mind and the mind alone that we chain you - or set you free
Sogyal Rinpoche
Fluidity , heart-fulness and totality .
The three cornerstones of Zenthai…become alive with this advanced offering .. recently inspired through my dear friend , colleague and teacher ..David Lutt ..Lulyyani - school of Thai massage and Osteothai .honouring the work of Chaiyuth - a respected Thai massage master..
In this 4 day class we will be targeting the cornerstone of fluidity and rhythm and see it come alive in all areas of our practice…on and off the mat.
Fluid flow
- explore a dynamic yet 1.5 hr fluid sequence that encourage creativity and an innate listening
- be part of a conscious community diving into a movement based therapy
- courageously turn the gaze inwards , allowing you to drop away that which that hold us back
- communion with nature in the French alps - a unmatched portal into life’s boundless energy
The fluidity ventures out to all aspects of our life . The conversation with nature , each other and ourselves is over flowing - without a narrative .
Some experience with zenthai or Thai massage is needed
