Nature Therapy and Yoga Retreat in Thailand

Welcome to the enchanting “Earth Retreat”! This one-week sanctuary awaits you on the stunning island of Koh Phangan in the Gulf of Thailand. Picture yourself amidst the breathtaking convergence of lush jungle and tranquil sea. Let the earth gently lead you back to yourself, grounding both your mind and body. Allow the sea’s flowing waters to teach you how to embrace your softness and move with grace. Here, you will rediscover your untamed spirit, embrace your every imperfection, and wholeheartedly love every part of yourself.

Program

Living in an eco-resort and being surrounded by nature allows you to slow down and reflect on yourself. When you engage with the natural world, you have the opportunity to heal yourself and your relationship with the earth.

In this journey of connection, you can strengthen your bond with the environment through daily meditation, yoga, and breathwork. Nature-based therapy practices such as forest bathing, aqua healing therapy in the ocean, and plant medicine rituals help you connect with yourself on a deeper level. By actively participating in these ancient spiritual practices, you can discover the mysteries within yourself and gain a greater understanding of your inner being.

Imagine yourself in a breathtaking setting, with nature embracing you. With the guidance of an experienced teacher, you will engage in gentle movements, breathing exercises, meditation, and journaling. This serene environment at Koh Phangan’s beautiful yoga space allows you to explore your inner self. After a refreshing smoothie, you will have a nourishing brunch made with ingredients from the permaculture garden. You will also have free time to explore the island and its beautiful beaches or visit the nearby waterfall.

Later in the afternoon, you will participate in workshops that focus on reconnecting with nature, eco-therapy, plant spirit communication, and creative expression. The day will end with a relaxing practice, such as gentle movement or a sharing circle, and sometimes even a sacred plant medicine ritual. After dinner, you can choose to stay silent, connect with friends, or visit the village of Koh Phangan. If you choose silence, you may feel like you’re transported to another realm, surrounded by the soothing sounds of the forest and the twinkling stars above. You might even encounter some magical creatures!
