THE ELEMENTAL THAI MASSAGE & BUDOKON MOBILITY IMMERSION
Guided by Sebastian Bruno & Melayne Shayne
SeptEMBER 4–10, 2026 | Montana
Guided by Co-Founder of ThaiVedic Sebastian Bruno and Budokon University Director and Mixed Movement Artist Melayne Shayne, this immersive experience weaves together the elemental wisdom of Traditional Thai Massage and Medicine and the integrated system of Budokon.
This journey is an invitation into the space where integrated strength meets softness and deep listening.
Where movement becomes a language of connection with self and as preparation of the art of touch.
Where touch becomes a pathway to feeling, relating and understanding with compassion.
It is a practice in how you meet yourself, and others. Where Thai Massage and Budokon become meditation in motion. Where we meet with presence first, not technique first.
Most movement trainings teach you how to perform.
Most bodywork trainings teach you how to apply techniques.
This immersion teaches you how to:
relate
listen
adapt
be present in real time
Listening through touch vs fixing
Slow, rhythmic, wave-like touch and movement
Nervous system regulation
effort and ease
control and trust
giving and receiving
WHO IS THIS FOR
You can join and become certified in Foundational Elements of Thai Massage by Sebastian Bruno or as an immersive experience and your personal development.
You are a movement practitioner seeking deeper embodiment
You are a bodyworker wanting to expand your sensitivity, bring more intelligence and flow into your practice
You feel disconnected from your body or others
You are ready to be challenged and supported
You are ready to explore both strength and vulnerability
No prior experience in Thai Massage or Budokon is required—
only a willingness to participate fully.
This is not a passive retreat.
You will:
work closely with partners
give and receive touch daily
be physically and mentally engaged
It may challenge you.
It may open things you weren’t expecting.
That is part of the process.
Melayne Shayne / Budokon (your lane)
Discipline + flow + structure
Integration of martial arts, yoga, animal locomotion
Language around: integrity, control, awareness, evolution, becoming
You bring edge + clarity + strength + philosophy
It is a self-study of:
how you use your body as a fine tuned instrument
how you respond under pressure
how you give and receive
You will not just learn new skills and techniques. You will refine perception, how to carry self, energetic signature or touch and expressive movement, ….
It is what refines the body that is giving it.
Through daily movement practice, you will develop:
joint integrity and resilience
strength through full ranges of motion
fluid transitions and efficient weight distribution
control of breath under load
stability without rigidity
But beyond the physical, this practice trains something deeper:
how you listen through movement.
This immersion is deeply personal to me.
My work through Budokon has always been rooted in discipline and structure—learning how to move with integrity and intention.
But over time, I’ve come to see that strength without sensitivity can create disconnection.
This is what drew me to the work of Sebastian Bruno.
His approach to Thai Massage is grounded in presence, listening, and a deep respect for the body’s intelligence.
This collaboration was born from a shared understanding:
That true embodiment requires both—
structure and surrender
effort and receptivity
precision and feeling
In this immersion, I am not only teaching.
I am practicing alongside you.
This is an invitation to explore how you relate—
to yourself, to others, and to the moment you are in.

THE SETTING
For 6 days and 5 nights (including arrival and departure), we will immerse ourselves in an intimate, tribal community of sisters on the wild island of Mallorca — where sun-drenched cliffs meet turquoise waters, and the earth pulses with ancient feminine energy.
Where luxury meets nature, our beautifully curated finca, Son Sanau, will be our sanctuary. Every detail of our home will invite you to soften, expand, and reconnect with yourself and the women sharing this transformative journey.
This retreat is for all women — from all walks and chapters of life — who feel the call. You don’t need to be “ready.” You just need to be willing. Willing to explore, to feel, to be witnessed, to share and to step into the most authentic expression of self.
Set in the quiet, expansive landscape of Montana, this immersion takes place surrounded by mountains, open skies, and raw nature.
The luxury here is not excess.
It is:
silence
space
simplicity
community
Accommodations are shared (with some private options), supporting a return to what is essential.
Away from distraction, your system has the opportunity to slow down.
To feel more.
To listen more clearly.
To reconnect.
THE INTEGRATIVE EXPERIENCE
This is where it becomes powerful.
Budokon refines how you move and feel.
Thai Massage refines how you feel and move.
You begin to notice:
where you hold tension
where you over-effort
where you resist support
This is not separate work.
It is one continuous practice of awareness.
THE EMBODIMENT
Central to this inquisitive experience is the exploration and expression of both body and mind through movement — as ritual, release, and remembrance. Through Budokon Yoga and Mobility practices, guided somatic movement journeys, intuitive dance, contact improvisation, Thai Massage, strength training and self-defense fundamentals, we awaken the ancient wisdom held within the body. Movement becomes medicine. The body becomes the guide. A pathway to presence and clarity.
FQA
Do I need a partner?
No. You will rotate partners throughout the training.
Do I need experience in Thai Massage or Budokon?
No. Everything is taught progressively.

Comfortable movement clothes, layers, journal, and an open mind.
BUDOKON MIXED MOVEMENT EXPLORATION
We will MOVE and express our bodies in unexplored ways to break and reshape patterns of the mind and matter. Melayne will guide us through Budokon Yoga, Mobility and Yobility classes, free form movement journeys and sensual awakening practices, primal crawling patterns, strength and conditioning workouts, breath work and meditation.
THE WARRIOR WOMAN

THE WOLF PACK LEADERS
Next to Melayne Shayne, our Wolf Pack Leaders Davonne Smith, Sibylle Klaus and Isabelle Wittebort will contribute with their crafts and facilitate a fully immersive experience for our Wolf Pack.
REIMAGINE BEAUTY
Davonne Smith’s personal passion and love for natural processes and good health led her to become a Licensed Holistic Esthetician with 20+years of experience and a Budokon Yoga Teacher. She has always been inspired by the healing that Mother Earth offers, and through self-studies and mentors found her “WAY” that built her path of healing both internally and externally. Her intention is to share her wisdom and support other women in rediscovering their sacred inner and outer beauty at any age. She will will introduce us to holistic ancient self care rituals that continuously nurture us from the inside out revealing radiant skin, good health and aging naturally with grace. During our time together we will share “THE WAYS” to integrate gua-sha and facial reflexology routines, dry brushing, natural mouth and hair care as well as essential oils into our daily modern lives.
NURTURING TOUCH
Long term Budokon Family member and Wolf Pack Leader Sibylle Klaus will enhance and soothe to our senses with nurturing and deeply healing body work as well as Sound Healing Journeys.
ART PROJECT & PHOTOGRAPHY
Isabelle Wittebort will offer creative practices for us to submerge ourselves further into our psyches, our conscious and unconscious parts through art therapy and photography.
HOLISTIC NUTRITION
Farm-To-Table and living with the land is our philosophy around food. Eating from what the gardens of nature provide us with, digging our hands in the earth and truly experiencing gratitude for the seeds we plant is an essential experience of the Way Of The Wild Wolf Woman.
For our Women Retreats we will nourish our souls and bodies with an activating breakfast, delicious and wholesome brunch, afternoon snack and nourishing dinner. With Melayne’s curiosity and passion for food, being a movement athlete and in her late 30’s transitioning into a new decade of her life, she will be helping you to find hormonal balance through nutrition, training, recovery and sensuality in the kitchen. The art of holistic nourishment cultivates patience, appreciation of abundance, connection to the senses and communication with our innate creative juices. Like true sisters we will be cooking together and reclaiming our sensuality and intuition in the kitchen.
INTEGRITY SESSIONS ~ WOLF PACK TALKS
In our daily WOLF PACK TALKS group sessions we discuss aspects that are integral to our human experience and how to create a life in alignment with our values. If we act in misalignment with our core truth, blindly following unconscious motives directed by our limiting beliefs, we are no longer living in integrity but rather in contradiction with our essence and won’t be able to create what we truly desire. Only from a place of knowing self, identifying root causes and thought patterns of our triggers and contradictions we can create the empowered choice to act consciously. Collectively we will dive into our belief structures and attachments to identify what no longer is in service to us to live a full-filled and expansive life.
Melayne also offers individualized MindSet & Intention Coaching Sessions using the InnerCompass Enneagram Personality Test to dive deep 1:1 with anyone inspired. Please inquire for more information.
