5 Day Tantra Yoga Retreat in Koh Phangan, Thailand

About This Retreat

A Koh Phangan retreat of tantra yoga, ecstatic dance, cacao, shamanic music, sauna, ceremony, and heart-opening island community.

Koh Phangan feels like a romantic fairy tale. Here, people are less attached to the illusion of the material world and more drawn to life, the universe, consciousness, and truth. As the alchemical text The Emerald Tablet says: as above, so below.

From sunrise to sunset, the island becomes a journey from matter to consciousness. Like the path of life itself, we move from the root chakra and the body into higher frequency, wider awareness, and the opening of the crown. Koh Phangan is full of feminine energy, sacred ceremony, coconut groves, open-air theaters, candlelight, prayer, and music.

This retreat gathers tantra yoga, sacred union ceremony, cacao, shamanic music, full moon celebration, wild sauna, tantric dating ritual, five-cloud Zen dance, ecstatic dance, and devotional music under the night sky. The island invites the heart chakra to open through dance, prayer, friendship, and community.

One night in the forest, I entered an ecstatic dance festival by chance. A singer was performing ancient music live, and every dancer seemed to become part of one moving prayer: stars, moon, river, rice fields, breath, and body. I danced beside a disabled dancer in spontaneous contact improvisation, with only breath, listening, and movement between us.

We sing to Mother Earth: the earth is my body, the river is my blood, the air is my breath, and fire is in my soul. The five elements come together through dance, and strangers from many countries remember that we were always one family.
