Dear {*{{{request.stUser.firstName}}~*~}*}
Thailand was completely magical. There were so many moving parts that I wondered how it would all work? But Thanakrit, and his assistant Kritaya, created the best experience for us, and it also helped that we had angelic assistance throughout. You can see the magic from the photos and videos below. When we arrived home, the afterglow continued to amaze when Gordon Bryant, one of the new American teachers, put together a montage of our experiences, and these videos capture all the fun. Take a look by clicking the next two photos, or titles:

For the beginning of our Festival day, Thanakrit arranged for these young traditional Thai dancers to bless our Festival.
The Bangkok Festival room was completely full, with 45 people attending. Urun Uncu, among the Turkish teachers there, is an artist specializing in original Seraphim drawings and paintings. She brought some to sell to the group, and everyone rushed over to get one of her marvelous renditions. The following is an example of what she has done interpreting traditional Seraphim imagery, which has decorated the walls of many ancient Turkish Orthodox churches for almost 1,500 years.
The day before the Festival, Thanakrit and a few Thai students took us on a tour of the Bangkok Grand Palace grounds, and the Sleeping Buddha shrine nearby. Here are two photos from that day:
And here I am with the Sleeping Buddha:
On my way to Thailand, I spent a few days with my friend Jarno Tiethoff, and his lovely wife and two children, in the Catalan Mountains near Barcelona, Spain. The following photo illustrates the beautiful dynamics of this family:
Jarno surprised me before my trip by deciding to accompany me to Thailand, and partake in the events there, including taking a Seraphim Healing course for the first time. He wrote about his experiences on his own website: Jarno Tiethoff's Experience of the Thai Seraphim Blueprint Festival week. In the article, Jarno explains how we met several years ago through my memorial website dedicated to Reverend Joseph Martinez, one of my early mentors in my own spiritual journey.
Seraphim Blueprint in Thailand now has its own website: https://www.seraphimblueprintthailand.org/home and you can order the newly launched Thai language Seraphim Blueprint book on that website.
