◈ ABOUT THE EVENT
The October 2026 Mindfulness Retreat at Meditation Island, Koh Phaluai is a 7-day silent meditation retreat in southern Thailand, offered during the period marking the end of Buddhist Lent (Awk Phansa), a traditional time of renewed dedication to meditation and mindful living.
Set on a quiet tropical island surrounded by forest and open sea views, this retreat provides a supportive environment for deepening awareness, cultivating inner calm, and reconnecting with a simple, disciplined way of life. Daily practice includes sitting and walking meditation, chanting, Dhamma reflections, and extended periods of noble silence.
Participants stay in simple individual forest huts (kuti) designed for solitude and reflection. Following the traditional Thai forest monastic routine, the retreat observes one mindful meal per day in the morning only, encouraging contentment, restraint, and clarity of mind. Guidance is offered throughout the retreat, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners.
