Women’s Retreat in Thailand

18 July, 2025 – 20 July, 2025

A rejuvenating women’s weekend retreat in Thailand inspired by the five elements and the wisdom of Tantra.

This is a wellness oriented rejuvenating weekend retreat for women, who wish to learn some esoteric notions about the elements. In addition, you’ll be held in a warm bath of sisterly connection, enchanting nature and luxury spa delights. Rooted in the millenary science of Integral Yoga and Esoteric Tantra, we will immerse ourselves in the ancient wisdom of life to know and nourish our nature as women.

Throughout the weekend, you’ll be guided through inspiring lectures, interactive workshops, Hatha Yoga, guided meditation, sensual dance sessions, sound bath sessions, sharing sessions, a spa night and a beautiful ceremony. Together, these experiences invite you on a physical, emotional and spiritually rejuvenating journey.

The Five Elements You’ll Explore:

At the heart of this women’s retreat lies the ancient wisdom of Tantra Yoga and the five subtle elements (Tattvas). These elements are not just the building blocks of nature—rather, they also shape our inner world as women.

Each day, two elements will be explored through teachings and practices, helping you awaken and embody its unique feminine energy.

Earth (Prithivi) – Grounding & Nourishment: Discover how to feel rooted and steady in yourself. As a result, you’ll learn to nourish your body and spirit so you can become a stable, abundant source of life and love.
Water (Apas) – Sensuality: Awaken your natural sensuality and emotional fluidity. In doing so, you’ll reclaim the freedom to express your erotic energy with grace, confidence, and joy.
Fire (Tejas) – Confidence & Radiance: Tap into your inner fire and build self-confidence and personal power. Therefore, you allow yourself to shine fully, unapologetically, and authentically.
Air (Vayu) – Love & Sisterhood: Open your heart and expand into deeper connection. In addition, learn how to strengthen bonds with other women and uplift yourself through love, empathy, and conscious support.
Ether (Akasha) – Spiritual Clarity: Discover how to become a source of feminine inspiration and access a higher dimension of spiritual wisdom.

You will learn to:

Rebalance your body, mind, and spirit through the five elements
Explore your feminine nature in a grounded and embodied way
Cultivate emotional freedom and sensual self-expression
Build deep self-confidence and personal radiance
Open yourself to love, support, and conscious sisterhood
Access your inner intuition, stillness, and spiritual power

Ultimately, this weekend is not just about learning—it’s about feeling, experiencing, and coming home to yourself. You’ll be held in a space of beauty, nature, and sisterhood, where real transformation happens gently and naturally.

This weekend has been such an incredible and amazing experience—so transformative. I wasn’t quite sure what I was looking for when I came, but I was longing to connect with other women and my feminine side. The feelings I currently have are indescribable—it was an incredible experience that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. (Stephanie)
