Listen & Learn a Yoga & Medicine Retreat

Thailand is often called the land of smiles and not only because of the people are so welcoming but also because of the many offerings that will bring such a smile to each visitor. From its beautiful golden temple peaks, abundance of natural water, delicious food, incredible massages you will be beaming as soon as you arrive. This is a very unique trip for the intrepid traveler who desires to give back while expanding themselves and discovering the world. Each day will be filled with cultural experiences, volunteer opportunities, Yoga, Meditation and so much more. After running these retreats for nearly 15 years and working with the communities we will spend time and volunteer for for nearly 20 years we guarantee this to be one of the most meaningful adventures you could join!

We will ALL work together by having a few virtual meetings before hand to see what skill sets are available amongst our group.

    In past years we have organized group vision and dental care projects with local and volunteer doctors. Our volunteers have worked to take notes and organize the community.

    We’ve also done clean up trash projects, nutrition lectures, created field days for under served schools and more.

    If you are thinking “what can I possibly do?” I promise our volunteers have ranged from 12-80 years old, from students, artist, dancers, doctors lawyers and everything in between. We promise we will help you to cultivate your purpose and connect in meaningful ways!

  • Please note that all activities are optional. There are no expectations to do everything. This after all is your adventure and we strongly encourage you to take it at your pace. Please also note that some activities are intrepid but we will make sure you are well aware before. For example there is one long 4 mile hike but we will break it in to two pieces if you are wanting to only do a part.

    Yoga daily will be an all levels flow and catered around the groups energy level.

  • In general most Thais speak English but your host speaks decent Thai and we will have interpreters available during volunteering with non English speakers. All tours are conducted in English.
