Spend three restorative hours practicing guided sitting meditation, mindful walking, and gentle yoga in a private Chiang Mai garden. This small-group retreat blends Lanna cultural context with practical self-care—cushions and a mat are provided and a cup of tea closes the session.

Sunlight slips between large-leafed trees and warms the wooden veranda where a small group gathers. The air smells faintly of tea and damp earth; bamboo leaves applaud a slow breeze that seems to encourage each breath. In this three-hour session, silence is not an absence but a tool: the garden asks you to notice the textures underfoot and the rhythm of your own body.
