THAI SANCTUARY RETREAT
24-30 MARCH 2027
FULLY BOOKED
Embodied Homecoming
A Movement and Breath Retreat with Mike
Join me for a transformative journey to one of Thailand’s most enchanting islands, Koh Phangan. Now known as a global wellness haven, the island is rich with jungle landscapes, white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, and hilltop Buddhist temples that overlook the sea.
This retreat marks something deeply personal as it's my first retreat in Thailand, and a celebration of my roots. Having lived in Thailand for several years, and deeply influenced by my Thai mother’s spiritual wisdom, this land played a profound role in shaping my mindfulness journey which presents an opportunity to share this with you.
The Setting
We’ll be staying at Ocean Experience, an eco-conscious boutique small hotel located on the quiet northern tip of the island, far away from the tourist crowds. Nestled in a private beach cove on Haad Khom, the venue blends rustic island living with simple luxury.
The bungalows are earthy, comfortable, and infused with authentic Thai character.just a few steps away from the white sandy shore. Run by a local Thai family, the space carries the warmth and heartfelt hospitality that Thailand is so loved for.
This is a place where your nervous system can genuinely downshift.
Retreat Meets Exploration
This 6-day immersion will weave together daily movement, breathwork, and embodied practices with three carefully curated excursions around the island offering a balance of cultural exploration, nature connection, and mindfulness-inspired experiences.
Expect jungle hikes, sacred spaces, ocean air, and moments of stillness woven into an unforgettable week.
Optional Extension: Deep Into Nature
After the retreat, there will be an optional 2-day, 1-night journey to Khao Sok National Park, one of Thailand’s most breathtaking natural reserves.
Here, we’ll immerse ourselves in ancient rainforest, dramatic limestone cliffs, and tranquil lake landscapes. I’ll arrange the booking within the park’s natural resort accommodation.
This extension is not included in the main retreat price and can be discussed upon booking.
Following this, I’ll be continuing my travels for another week, you’re welcome to join or explore other beautiful corners of Thailand independently.
THE RETREAT MENU
6 nights, 7 days
It’s an educational and embodied week designed to help you understand your body better and move with more intelligence.
Daily workshop-style sessions build progressively across the week; beginning with grounding and awareness, then gradually developing strength, mobility, and fluidity.
My approach blends functional movement with yoga principles.
Functional movement means working with how your joints and spine are designed to move and recognising the habitual patterns that often lead to tension or discomfort. Through intelligent sequencing and repetition, you’ll:
-
Improve spinal support and mobility
-
Enhance joint stability
-
Regulate your nervous system through breath
-
Move more efficiently in everyday life
-
The aim is simple: leave with tools you can use long after the retreat ends.
-
Morning meditation & breathwork every day (optional)
-
2 workshop style classes per day
-
Transformational Breathworkshop in nature
-
2 meals a day - brunch feast and early dinner
-
A personal chef will be at the retreat so expect the food to be nutritious, rich with local flavours & mainly vegetarian
-
2 fresh seafood night options on the menu for non vegetarians
-
1/2 day boat excursion around the island & snorkelling
-
Morning Group Jungle Hikes
-
Buddhist Temple visit, Meditation and Darma Talk with a monk
-
Night Market visit
-
Thai Cooking Workshop (optional and additional cost)
There is no pressure to attend everything. This week is about letting go, not performing. Rest when you need to. Explore when you feel called. Participate fully or move slowly. You return home feeling refreshed, invigorated, clear-minded, and deeply inspired.
