All guests will stay on-site at Arcana, one of Koh Phangan’s most beautiful new wellness centres — a thoughtfully designed space set in lush tropical surroundings, created for rest, restoration, and deep inner work.
Koh Phangan itself is a true paradise. Away from the noise and pace of modern life, the island offers a rare sense of space and simplicity — with quiet beaches, dense jungle, and a natural rhythm that invites you to slow down, breathe, and return to what matters.
What you’ll experience:
This retreat is not about adding more, but about gently stripping back — creating the conditions for clarity, presence, and a deeper connection to yourself.
Each day will follow a carefully held rhythm. Mornings begin in silence, moving into guided practice — grounding the body, steadying the breath, and establishing a felt sense of presence. Throughout the week, sessions will explore meditation, breathwork, and bioenergetics, alongside space for reflection and inquiry.
There will also be time woven in for rest and integration — whether that’s enjoying Arcana’s spa facilities, walking in nature, or simply doing very little at all.
Rather than a packed schedule, the emphasis is on depth. On creating an environment where something real can shift — not through effort, but through attention, awareness, and space.
By the end of the week, the intention is simple: that you feel more here, more settled, and more connected to yourself than when you arrived.
Some practical suggestions
Koh Phangan is a relatively remote island, and the journey there is best approached without rushing. If you’re able to, it’s well worth arriving a day or two before the retreat begins — giving yourself time to settle, acclimatise, and arrive more fully into the experience.
Similarly, allowing a little time at the end of the retreat can be valuable. Rather than heading straight back into the pace of daily life, a couple of extra days can help you integrate the work, rest more deeply, and leave feeling truly complete.
I will be on the island in the days leading up to the retreat, and likely for a short time afterwards as well.
There is a wide range of accommodation available locally for any additional nights you may wish to book — from simple beach huts to more refined and comfortable hotels — so you can easily find something that suits your preference and budget.
January is a popular time to visit Koh Phangan, so flights and accommodation are best booked well in advance to avoid disappointment.

Lunch and dinner are not included – but both are available on-site at a reasonable cost. Of course, students may choose to dine independently at lunch and dinner. It is also likely that on some evenings we will head out as a group to enjoy some of the island’s excellent local restaurants.
