Healing

I feel very lucky not to actually need a healing retreat... but when one of your best friends happens to be the manager at just such a retreat not sooo far away, and you happen to have to leave the country for a visa run... well, the universe was aligning itself...

So here I am at the Orion Healing Retreat Centre in Koh Phangan, Thailand.

Here's a blurb from their website (orionhealing.com):

The Orion Healing Retreat Center is set in the serene Srithanu bay in Koh Phangan, Thailand. Nestled in peaceful surroundings, amid soothing sounds and rippling waters, your mind and soul are balanced, restoring a sense of serenity and vitality.  At Orion we have created a unique life changing retreat program which combines detox, healing and yoga to create Absolute Alchemy.

Our detox retreats are specially tailored and supported every step of the way. As healers we ensure that your cleanse is a healing experience for your body, mind and soul. A personal touch is given to all our cleansers and this will ensure that your individual needs are always looked after.  Using ancient methods with modern day touches, our unique treatments harmonize, balance, attune and charge your body to leave you feeling completely revitalized.

I can't say I had the right motivation in coming here... I wasn't feeling toxic, or the need for healing necessarily... I really just wanted to see a good friend in her element, and thought the best way to do that, since she was to be working, would be to integrate myself into her life... so I signed up!  And no doubt it will have all kinds of additional positive benefits as well.  Although I am still a little upset about being in Thailand (with some of the best food on the planet) and not EATING, I am really enjoying the daily yoga, and have been to the Wat Pho Traditional Thai Herbal Sauna, and am taking advantage of being here to get some work done in my sweet little bungalow!
