NoVa Gaia- Thailand Retreat 2027 🌴
NOVA GAIA
Thailand Retreat 2027
02.02.2027 – 16.02.2027
Two weeks by the sea. Two weeks beyond your usual routine. Two weeks when you do not have to keep functioning, but can feel again what truly belongs to you.
NOVA GAIA is not a conventional retreat trip with a tightly scheduled timetable in which one activity follows another.
We want to create a space where growth does not come from more and more happening, but from finally having enough Time, stillness, and spaciousness are present.
Time for your body. Time to connect. Time for silence. Time for movement. Time for community. Time for the sea. And above all, time for you.
For two weeks, we live together in a villa right by the sea in Thailand, combining yoga, meditation, bodywork, energy work, healing impulses, and shared experiences with something that many retreats don't give enough space to:
Integration.
Because we do not believe that change comes from giving people as many methods, sessions and experiences as possible in the shortest possible time.
Sometimes an insight doesn't need another workshop.
Sometimes it needs a quiet afternoon by the sea.
A retreat between depth and freedom
At NOVA GAIA, you shouldn't feel like a participant in a program.
For these two weeks, you are part of a small community.
We begin most days together. Depending on the day's programme, you can expect different forms of yoga, meditation, consciousness work, energy work or shared experiences.
The retreat programme deliberately includes a maximum of around four hours a day.
Not because we want to offer less.
But because we want to leave more space.
More space for what you have experienced to truly settle within you.
More room for conversation, for solitude, for the sea, for nature, for sleep, for spontaneous ideas or simply for a day when you do not want to do anything.
In the evening, we can come together again, for example for a meditation, a gentle yoga practice, a sound journey, or a shared closing circle.
But here, too, the same applies:
We do not work against the group's natural rhythm.
We listen.
Your time still belongs to you
You don't travel to Thailand to then spend fourteen days in a seminar room.
You can experience Thailand.
Nature is there to be experienced.
The sea is there to be experienced.
And life outside our retreat program should have its place, too.
That is why the Weekends are generally free.
There's plenty of time for yourself during the week, too.
Perhaps you would like to practise with us in the morning and then spend the entire afternoon on the beach.
Perhaps you would like to explore a place with others.
Perhaps you would like to go out to eat on your own.
Perhaps a shared outing comes together spontaneously.
Or perhaps you simply want to retreat with a book and see no one.
All of this can be part of it.
The villa
Our shared retreat space is a Villa right by the sea.
The beach is within walking distance, making it a natural part of our everyday life for these two weeks.
You get your your own room.
This point matters to us.
Community can be beautiful, but real depth also needs the possibility of time alone.
You do not have to be constantly available.
You don't have to share every meal with everyone.
You don't have to spend every free minute with the group.
There is a shared space.
And there is your own.
For us, the two belong together.
Food & Life Together
Food and drinks during the retreat are already included in the price.
The catering will be mostly vegan arranged. Water and a variety of teas are also available.
This isn't about complicated nutritional concepts or turning food into yet another optimization project.
We want to eat together, enjoy our food, and nourish our bodies well.
Part of our time together will also be devoted to Thai cooking be dedicated to.
Because we want more than just to visit Thailand.
We also want to take in something of its culture, its flavors, and its way of life.
Our shared practice
NOVA GAIA brings different paths together.
Not every method will be offered every day, and not every session has to feel equally intense for everyone.
We want to retain the freedom to respond to the people and the dynamics of the group.
Our time together may include:
- Cacao ceremonies
- Thai yoga
- Yin Yoga
- Voice yoga
- Kundalini Yoga
- Vinyasa Yoga
- Spirit Yoga
- Qi Gong
- Sound journeys
- Meditation and learning to develop your own meditation practice
- Cosmic Cure with a focus on meridian healing
- Frequency Healing
- Inner child work and soul healing
- cooking Thai food together
We do not see these methods as a collection of scheduled activities.
They are tools.
Sometimes movement is needed.
Sometimes it takes breath.
Sometimes it takes sound.
Sometimes a conversation is needed.
And sometimes nothing at all is needed.
Integration is part of the retreat
Especially when we work on inner issues, it can be tempting to keep wanting to go one level deeper.
Another session.
Another insight.
Another process.
For us, however, working with awareness does not mean constantly having to search inside yourself for something to heal or change.
That is why integration is an essential part of NOVA GAIA.
Free time is intentionally included.
Some days are deliberately left free.
And there can also be periods when you simply live.
Because sometimes it is only in this freedom that we discover what an experience has truly done to us.
Thailand is part of the journey
We do not want to travel somewhere for two weeks and then live as though we were not there at all.
That's why, during our time together, there is also room for Day trips with the group emerge.
These are deliberately not fully planned in advance.
We will see once we are there:
What do we feel like doing?
What is possible?
What fits the group?
Perhaps we will visit a special beach together.
Perhaps we discover a temple.
Perhaps we are drawn into nature.
Perhaps something will emerge spontaneously that none of us can plan today.
These excursions are organized according to preferences, available options, and group agreement. Any additional costs incurred are paid separately.
Your personal time in Thailand
Of course, you can also spend your free time independently of the group.
Massages, other events, shopping, or individual excursions are possible at any time and are not included in the retreat price.
A scooter, for example, is a good way to get around locally.
The cost is approximately 5,00 € per day.
You also book your flight to Thailand independently; it is not included in the retreat price.
Personal one-to-one sessions
During a retreat, issues may arise that do not necessarily belong in a group setting.
Perhaps you would like to go deeper at a certain point.
Perhaps you would like to discuss something personal.
Or perhaps during the trip you'll feel that you'd like individual support.
There is, however, the option of additional on-site Individual sessions with our mentors to arrange.
These sessions are not included in the retreat price and are agreed individually according to the topic, scope, and support involved.
They are entirely optional.
And then there is one point that matters especially to us.
At NOVA GAIA, you cannot simply buy a ticket.
This is a conscious decision.
Because this retreat draws its life from more than just the villa, the sea or the methods we offer.
Above all, it thrives on the people who spend these two weeks together.
Fourteen days is a long time.
We will eat together.
Practise together.
Laugh together.
Perhaps cry together.
We'll spend time together when we're full of energy, and possibly also when we're tired, sensitive, or in the middle of a personal process.
And that is exactly why the make-up of the group is no minor matter to us.
It is an essential part of the retreat.
We want to allow a harmonious field to emerge
For people to truly open up, it takes more than a beautiful place.
It takes trust.
Respect.
Mindfulness.
Personal responsibility.
And people who are willing not only to take something away for themselves, but also to treat the space they share with others mindfully.
This expressly does not mean that only certain personality types are welcome at NOVA GAIA.
A vibrant group can embrace differences.
People are allowed to be different.
Temperaments are allowed to differ.
Life stories are allowed to differ.
This isn't about finding people who all think alike.
On the contrary.
We believe that diversity can enrich a community.
But there should be a shared foundation.
The willingness to reflect on yourself.
The willingness to let other people be different.
The willingness to respect boundaries.
And the willingness to take responsibility for your own energy and behavior.
That is why you apply for your place
That is why taking part in NOVA GAIA does not begin with a booking.
It begins with a Application.
In this application, we'd like to learn something about you.
Not your perfect résumé.
Not your spiritual experiences.
Not how many yoga classes you've already attended.
Nor how ‘far’ you have come on some supposed path.
What interests us more is:
Who are you?
What is on your mind right now?
Why is this journey calling you?
What do you hope for from these two weeks?
And what do you think you bring to a community like this?
The application is not an exam
We want to state this point very clearly.
There is no “good enough” with us.
You do not need any particular experience with yoga, meditation or consciousness work.
You do not have to be particularly spiritual.
You don't have to prove anything to anyone.
The application process is not intended to create artificial exclusivity.
The only aim is to find out whether we feel that NOVA GAIA is the right space for you at this time, and you are a good fit for the group taking shape.
Sometimes someone can be wonderful and still not be the right fit for a particular group at that moment.
That is not a judgement.
It is consideration for everyone involved.
Not as many people as possible. The right people.
Our aim is not to sell out this retreat as quickly as possible.
Nor do we want to put a group together simply because enough people have paid the price.
We want to help a community emerge where people can feel safe enough to truly be themselves.
A community where no one has to play a role.
A community where silence is just as welcome as a zest for life.
Where depth is allowed to emerge without being forced.
And in which every person is still free to follow their own path.
That is why we say:
We do not simply want to fill as many places as possible. We want to bring the right people together.
How your participation takes shape
If you feel that NOVA GAIA is calling you, you can start by applying for a place.
You answer a few personal questions and tell us a little about why you would like to be part of this journey.
Afterward, we get to know each other personally.
This could take place in a brief video call or phone conversation, for example.
This conversation is not intended to be an interview in the traditional sense.
We want to connect with each other.
You are welcome to ask your questions.
We get to know you.
And both sides can assess:
Does this feel right?
Only then is a place assigned on a binding basis.
If it feels right for both sides, you will receive our personal confirmation and the opportunity to make a binding booking for your place.
What is included in the retreat price
The retreat price is:
1.900,00 €
Included are your own room for the duration of the retreat, shared accommodation in the villa right by the sea, mostly vegan meals plus water and tea, our shared retreat programme, the transfer from Bangkok to the villa with a journey time of around three to four hours, and all our ongoing support throughout the two weeks.
The beach is within walking distance of the villa.
Not included are your flight to Thailand, personal purchases, massages, additional events, individually planned activities, scooters or other local transport, and any additional one-to-one sessions you book.
Perhaps it is not about becoming a different person at all.
Perhaps this isn't about optimizing yourself even further, either.
Or about fixing something else within you.
Perhaps you have simply spent long enough living outside yourself.
Perhaps it has been noisy long enough.
Perhaps you have spent long enough just going through the motions.
And perhaps we sometimes need a different place, different people and a different pace to hear again what has long been speaking within us.
The sea in the morning.
Warm air on your skin.
Yoga together.
A conversation that stays with you for a long time.
A meditation.
An evening without a plan.
An insight.
A laugh.
A quiet moment alone on the beach.
Perhaps you will not fly home after these two weeks with a hundred new answers.
Perhaps you simply start asking different questions.
And perhaps that is exactly what changes everything.
