You can't get any closer to nature than this! Join us for a nurturing 3 day weekend retreat at Om Waters— a sacred space to dive deep into your soul. Only an hour from Chiang Mai, this one-of-a-kind floating retreat center is set on a beautiful lake in Sri Lanna National Park. Its off-grid location has been designed to put you at nature's pace— slowing down, clearing the mind, and immersing yourself in the magic of Northern Thailand. With very little external distractions, our senses will be heightened and able to absorb all that nourishes us. Throughout the retreat, we will weave together various modalities to address all levels of your being for a wholesome and holistic experience.
"I was in Tammy´s Retreat at Om Waters, and it was total bliss. The place is amazing, Tammy is a wonderful teacher and person. The group was from all over the world, and we experienced something quite unique for a weekend retreat. Thank you Tammy!"

HIGHLIGHTS
YOGA & QIGONG
Our Hatha yoga classes will benefit beginners, intermediates, and advanced yogis. Participating in our class is not about whether you are "good" at yoga or not. It's not goal-driven or doing poses by auto-pilot. Instead, yoga is an opportunity to spend time in your body, be attuned to the information and sensations that arrive, and staying curious. This "body awareness" approach keeps learning infinite while building a strong and healthy relationship with yourself.
MEDITATION
Meditation is an opportunity to observe your mind, the habits it tends to go into, and bringing yourself back to the present moment. In meditation, we learn about our physical, mental, emotional, and energy state and use the information to bring balance. Benefits of meditation include: stress relief, increased focus, clarity, insight, creativity, and release.
TRE®/ Tension - Trauma Release Exercises
Learn this revolutionary tool for tension release and how stress and trauma affect the nervous system and body. TRE® consists of a simple yet powerful set of exercises that help re-initiate the body’s own mechanism of healing through body tremors. The tremors help lower the stress and tension held in the body, without the need for story, or re-living the original events, leaving us more relaxed, clear, grounded and at peace. A tool you can take home with you and use for life!
BREATHWORK + ENERGY WORK AWAKENING
This journey blends David Elliott's and Tai Hubbert's circular Breathwork style with Pi Villaraza's Innerdance Energy Work. We use a simple technique— participants lie down and inhale through the belly, chest, and exhale out the mouth. This steady form of circular breathing begins to release blocked energy from the body. We then transition into regular breathing and connect to a higher vibration with a playlist of intentional sound frequencies. This expanded state of consciousness works through us and for us into healing, insight, and more love.
CACAO CEREMONY
Learn about this ancient plant medicine as we invoke the heart-opening spirit of Mother Cacao to work with us and through us for greater transformation. This ceremony will include a demonstration of mediumship.
OUTDOOR BLISS
Swimming, kayaking, SUP, napping, and being part of a wonderful group of people
