Julie Sexton, Joanne Richards and Suzie Jokic from The Joyful Path Yoga and Self Care Studio in Victor Harbor South Australia will be travelling to Cambodia to facilitate a five night Retreat at the Hanchey Bamboo Resort in Kampong Cham. Hanchey Bamboo Resort, overlooking the beautiful landscape to the Mekong, trains and employs disadvantaged youth from the Smile School, a vision and mission created by a local NGO, Buddhism for Social Development Action (BSDA). The Resort generates revenue to support the continuation of the school and other BSDA projects that you can learn more about here.

What to expect

It is our intention and aim for the retreat and the programme we have created to allow you to travel to a place within of deeper connection and clarity.  Connection to yourself, to the environment and to each other, recognising a state of oneness with all.  There will be opportunity to experience being in silence; opportunity for greater awareness of patterns and conditioning; opportunity to release, shift and raise the frequency of your energy; opportunity to be present and live more in the flow; opportunity to stretch, move and use your voice; and an opportunity for fun and sharing.

After being welcomed for a compassionate Opening Circle with refreshments and an intention setting meditation, you will be able to explore the resort and gorgeous Kampong Cham countryside. The resort offers opportunities for you to swim, bike ride, read, relax - even partake in energy sharing reiki sessions - and take time out from your stressful day to day life to recover and reset

Classes and Workshops

Throughout your stay, you will have access to daily yoga, breathwork and meditation classes hosted in the stunning outdoor Lotus Shala and indoor Bamboo Hall, hosted by The Joyful Path team. Classes will include:

• Yin Yoga

• Fascia Flow

• Yoga Nidra

• Self Compassion

• Breathwork

Getting to the Resort

We will meet in Phnom Penh to depart early on Monday July 28th. We suggest arriving a couple of days early to take in the sights of Phnom Penh.

We will also recommend a hotel and will make a group booking, or you can choose to find your own accommodation. We depart the retreat on Saturday the 2nd of August and will travel to Siem Reap. However, if you need to travel back to Phnom Penh, it is possible by local bus or taxi.

We will again make a group hotel booking for those of us going to Siem Reap, or feel free to organise your accommodation and discover this area on your own.
