🌟 [Body Heart Mind] Retreat: Find Your Balance 🌟

Our retreat is a sanctuary for those seeking life’s balance. Through yoga, dance, and mindful movement, we deepen our connection to our bodies. 🎨🧘‍♂️

Painting with natural materials reveals the intricate harmony between all elements, and by cooking and sharing meals grown on our farm, we nourish our souls and find inspiration to create. 🍽️🌿

Join us for a two-week transformative journey from August 14th to 27th in Chiangdao, the “City of Stars,” just a 1.5-hour drive north of Chiangmai. Stay at Yidan’s Farm or arrange your own accommodations.

Chiangdao, a serene town surrounded by mountains, waterfalls, caves, and natural hot springs, offers the perfect backdrop to discover what your body, mind, and heart are yearning for. 🌄✨

Listen to the flowing water, feel the warmth of freshly husked rice, awaken to the first rays of sunrise and the earliest chirping birds, and drift to sleep under the stars and moon. 🌅🌌

🕯️Candle making workshop .chiangdao

Marin has been running her candle brand for 3 years. After moving from Bangkok to Chiangdao, she has opened her bar Marabai here, meanwhile hosting candle making workshops.
Making candles is like a little chemistry experiment. First you need to decide your container, calculate how much wax and essential oil you need. Heat yo the wax to a certain temperature yo add your preferred scents…
Another tip of how to use the candle after your workshop. Bring it to the ChiangDao hot spring at night, you will have the most soothing and calm experience with the warm hot spring water and candle light.

Pottery Making
The most unique thing about Musashi pottery is that, all the materials are collected locally in Chiangdao. Pigments are extracted from the stones of Chiangdao hot spring. It’s a teamwork of us and the nature.
For guests stay short term in Chiangdao, the pottery works can be burned over night.
Further more, this space is now turning into a gathering spot for creative minds and interesting souls.
You can always come here, sit around, meet the OGs and new comers of Chiangdao community. Enjoy coffee made by sometimes breakfast by P’Ya. Who’s also the owner of Musashi Pottery. Whom I found is a man owns great observations of art and business, as well as the capability to connect different people to work together.

10 things to do in Chiangdao #1
Indigo dyeing workshop
This is one of the earliest experiences we’ve been recommending to our guests. The instructor and owner P’Huy is always very passionate of meeting people who’s interested to learn or simply have fun with indigo.
You will be starting from knowing the plant, the process of turning the plants into pigment. Then getting your hands blue by drawing with indigo, dyeing T-shirts, bandannas, or maybe items that you brought by yourself.
The biggest fun of indigo dyeing is that you never know what you’re getting until the last moment.
P’Huy also runs a shop full of their handmade T-shirts, dresses, pants, purses…a variety of choices as souvenirs or a gift to yourself.

Yidan’s Farm Diary #25
Living in the bamboo house is not all about peace and chill. One of the biggest downsides of bamboo house is the bug issue. There’s a type of beetle call power post beetle they love to lay eggs inside of the bamboo, then leave countless small holes and powder behind.
They started to show up a lot counting from the 3rd month I moved in. Every morning I woke up I had to clean, spray pesticide on it, then repeat everyday…
