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

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

YOUR PRIVATE SANCTUARY, AT THE FOOTHILLS OF CHIANG MAI
Doi Saket, Northern Thailand
A RURAL FARMING COMMUNITY, IN THE HEARTLAND OF THAILAND
Chiang Mai was founded in 1296 and is one of Thailand’s best kept secrets. A vibrant cultural hub for the arts and nomadic travellers alike, it’s surrounded by a ring of mountains and vast farms and rice fields.
Doi Saket is a suburb on the outskirts of Chiang Mai, it is a rural farming area known for its quiet natural beauty and remains popular with Thai tourists looking to escape the hustle of the city, to reconnect with the traditional Thai simple life.

“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 “

“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.”

“Location and accommodations being spectacular are an ancillary benefit, the real treasure is Michael and the people he attracts to share the journey and vision – I look forward to many more journey’s and late night talks about the philosophy of Tupac, spirituality, geopolitics and life in general”.
