The center of Saol
Take care of yourself by indulging in a one-week reset. Balance your time, connect with yourself and discover meaning in all that you do.
Be Balanced
What sets the Saol retreat apart from others is our balanced approach. You’re not pushed to your limits, but guided and encouraged to take care of your body and mind through exercise, food, yoga, reflection and new bonds. We’ve created this retreat to fit into your life, so that returning is more sustainable. You’re encouraged to balance your work with workouts, your desserts with your dinners, and your late-night adventures with your rest. The Saol programme structures your time so that you can relax and be productive.
Be Connected
You’ll disconnect from your bad habits and learn how to develop bonds with your retreat community for the week. Find inner peace as you grow your personal relationships. Enjoy connection with the vibrant culture and healing Koh Samui nature. You’ll end the retreat with a deeper feeling of connection to your mind and body that will carry on your new practices.
Be Purposeful
Find your purpose in all that you do during your holistic 3, 5 or 7-day retreat. Saol life coaches will guide you before, during and after your stay. You’ll notice all the small details and be able to see the big picture. Your Five Minute Journal will help document your journey as you find more meaning to your life.
