Rose (Retreat Manager)
I have managed the three-week meditation retreat with Bhante Samadhikusalo since 2013. The profundity of the silence and stillness and how it grows from start to finish has always been a blessing to experience and support.
The retreat is held in beautiful Thailand with its wondrous culture, fantastic food, and great humanness; it is also a central hub making it accessible to yogis/practitioners worldwide.
The retreat venue is perfectly conducive to stepping away from the bustle of daily life and into the deep silence of meditation. A sustainable venue with its eco-friendly laundry practices and growing fresh organic produce for meals (or locally sourced). The rooms are equipped to suit introspection and silence with simple, handcrafted furniture and little distraction.
With the sunrise sitting atop the floating platform on the lake (which also surrounds the meditation hall) and the wondrous nature across the secluded property, this is an incredible experience.
