The Simple Life Retreat

Mala Dhara Eco Resort &  Yoga Retreat Center

Chiang Mai, Thailand

 

BACK TO THE HEART OF WHAT REALLY MATTERS!

 

Imagine living a life where everything just makes sense – no complicated decisions to make or fancy things you don’t need.  No more sleepless nights overthinking or worrying about stuff that adds little or no real value to your life.

Imagine re-learning to truly appreciate the things that actually matter!

If you’re curious about how 6-days in Thailand can get you to rethink absolutely everything about how you approach your life – then read on!

 

 

YOU WILL LEARN

 

all about minimalism

and the reasons for this growing trend, it’s philosophy and ethos and how it can apply to you!

how to reconnect with your purpose

in order to get real clarity about the things and people you invite into your life and why!

to redefine your relationship with ‘things’

and learn to differentiate between needs and wants.

how to let go

to help detox and de clutter your life, learning to let go of the things that don’t serve you.

how the Thai’s do it

for some local lessons about the simple life from a culture and community that lives it!

the art of reorganizing

and re-thinking everything, where it fits and how to organize it.

how to embody – The Simple Life

and the real world lifestyle implications – what it will look like for you and what it means!

YOU WILL GAIN

 

a deep understanding of minimalism

and why it’s more relevant today than any time in human history.

a clear sense of purpose

and knowing why having a clear sense of purpose is so important to living a simple life!

a fresh perspective

on how the decisions you make impact your life.

an understanding of ‘value’

and the ability to see the real value and to rid your life of the things that add no value.

real appreciation for a different culture

and understanding that there is more than one way of doing things.

order in your life

and a clear understanding of why you have certain things and how they all fit!

a practical guide to getting started

and a real knowing of how you can actually get started living the simple life!

JESSIKAH ROBERTS

“My experience with My Chi Journey was life altering in a way I hadn’t anticipated. Reconnecting with my artistic roots via completely unexpected ways alongside connecting with individuals I am positive will be life long friends made my experiences 100% worthwhile “

NADA AL GHOWAINIM

United Arab Emirates

“My Chi Journey was the best investment I have ever made for myself in my entire life. Everyone told me how radiant I looked after my five day retreat and I continue to feel that renewed sense of self and life.”

JOSH TYLER

SUKHA Yoga Retreat

with  Jacquelynn St. Pierre

 

Join Jacq on this very sacred adventure in Thailand’s celebrated Chiang Mai. Rediscover the lightness of being with a float in the saltwater pool, a nap in your cozy villa, a walk through the organic farm, or while wandering though the expansive rice fields and picturesque hot springs surround the property. Enjoy alone time, connect with your partner or with friends, and create the experience you’ve always dreamed of! Move at your own pace- participation in activities/ excursions not required if you’d rather have some quiet time sipping a Thai iced tea by the pool. Lots of free time to cozy up or head out and explore the near by temples, celebrations of light, and getting lost among the street vendors. This is truly a trip for all the senses!
Experience includes accommodations on the beautiful organic farm in the mountains of Chiang Mai, cooking instruction to learn to prepare authentic and organic Thai cuisine, visits to the hot springs, steam baths, a sunrise hike to the local caves, all meals, transport to and from the airport, and of course daily yoga, meditation, mantra, and ayurvedic practices.

An Embodied Awakening

with Urban Yogis

Kathy Gabriel & Samanta Duggal

August 1-5  2018

Mala Dhara Yoga Retreat Center

Chiang Mai, Thailand

 

Spend 5 days in a beautiful sanctuary in the middle of majestic mountains and rice fields of Chiang Mai, Thailand.

This retreat is an embodied journey through a variety of modalities from Yoga, Meditation, Holistic Health, Energetic Healing, Sound Therapy and Thai Massage.

Deepen your mind-body connection by looking at health from a broader perspective that goes beyond our flesh, bones, and what our bodies look like.  Awaken your internal senses and uncover your own physical and subtle mind body mapping to come back into alignment with your highest self.

Indulge in delicious farm to table plant based meals and strengthen your practice of self care and reflection to make space in your heart to explore all that you are and all that you can be.

Amidst it all, find time to lounge by the pool, enjoy an herbal steam, dance barefoot under the moonlight, take a dip in nearby hot springs and discover the local area.

This retreat is designed to be accessible to anyone of any age, body size, physical fitness level and experience.

Mala Dhara Weekend Yoga Retreats – August 2018

Mala Dhara Weekend Yoga Holiday

August 2018

(Doi Saket, Chiang Mai)

 

Mala Dhara Eco Resort in Doi Saket was envisioned first and foremost as a yoga retreat center to support the Chiang Mai Yoga Community and the increasingly large number of international visitors to Chiang Mai seeking the exploration, study and practice of yoga. While we primarily host yoga retreats created for those pursuing the benefit of specific schools of knowledge and study, we also offer a weekend yoga holiday every month during the high season for anyone who wants to simply get out into nature, escape, get away and leave it all behind, eat only healthy food, play, laugh, learn and ….simply do some yoga. Oh yes, and relax… chill… steam… swim… and breathe.

Mala Dhara Instructor,  Kru Ploy leads all yoga Yoga Asana classes when in residence or they are led by the resident instructor at Mala Dhara during your retreat stay. All resident instructors are carefully chosen based on experience and knowledge.

Duration: 3 Nights & 4 Days

Arrival time is around 2:00 pm on the Thursday afternoon, and our first yoga asana class is that evening, followed by our first meal. We officially begin the first “full day” of our weekend yoga retreat at 7am on the morning of Friday.

This allows you to finish up on Sunday early afternoon with enough time for you to get back to Chiang Mai, just 30 minutes away, while it is still light out.

Lunch is followed by a late room check out of 1:00 on Sunday. The salt water pool and Mala Dhara facilities are available to you for the rest of the afternoon
