Retreat Highlights

  • Equinox-aligned pilgrimage at Angkor Wat - Experience the rare solar alignment of the Equinox at Angkor Wat, where the rising sun crowns the temple’s central tower—an ancient celestial event woven into daily practice, intention-setting, and embodied integration.
  • Guided by Shiva Rea in her most sacred offering - Immerse in Shiva Rea’s lineage-based Prana Flow teachings, integrating mandala vinyasa, tantric yin, soma practices, mantra, mudra, and yoga nidra—refined over decades and uniquely adapted to Angkor’s sacred geometry.
  • Daily sunrise journeys and temple immersion - Begin each day with dawn pilgrimages to Angkor Wat, moving beyond sightseeing into lived experience through silent walks, moving meditation, breath, and ritual within the temple complex itself.
  • Jungle pilgrimage to Cambodia’s most sacred natural sites - Journey deep into the living landscape of Cambodia, including Phnom Kulen (birthplace of the Khmer Empire), the River of 1,000 Lingams at Kbal Spean, Beng Mealea jungle temple, and sacred waterfalls used for purification and renewal.
  • Embodied dialogue with ancient architecture - Practice yoga, meditation, and breathwork within and beside temples such as Preah Palilay and Phnom Bakheng, allowing stone, silence, light, and time to awaken the “inner temple” of the body.
  • Ceremonial sound, chant, and water rituals - Experience sound healing, sacred chant, and elemental ceremonies—including a closing ritual on Tonlé Sap Lake with traditional Khmer drummers—supporting emotional release, integration, and collective resonance.
  • Held within a luxury wellness sanctuary - Return each day to Angkor Grace, a consciously designed retreat environment offering nourishing cuisine, restorative spaces, and seamless support—allowing deep work to unfold safely, gently, and sustainably.
  • A journey of integration, not escape
  • This is not a retreat to leave life behind, but a pilgrimage to re-enter it differently—grounded, luminous, and aligned with what matters most, carrying Angkor’s wisdom into daily living.

Details of this retreat

This seven-day pilgrimage is a carefully woven journey of embodiment, devotion, and renewal, guided by the solar-lunar rhythms of Angkor and the living intelligence of the land itself. From dawn meditations at Angkor Wat and immersive Prana Flow practices, to silent temple walks, sacred sound healing, and ritual encounters with ancient sites, each day invites you to slow time, awaken the body, and listen deeply.

You will move between dynamic and restorative practices, cultural immersion and contemplative stillness, jungle pilgrimage and elemental ceremony — including the sacred waters of Kbal Spean, Phnom Kulen, and Tonlé Sap Lake. Anchored at Angkor Grace, this retreat gently unfolds toward the Equinox sunrise, offering a rare opportunity to align breath, movement, intention, and presence with one of humanity’s most powerful sacred landscapes — leaving you grounded, luminous, and profoundly reconnected to what matters most.

Along the way, we’ll journey through serene forest paths alive with the sounds of nature, arriving at this once-forgotten sanctuary to explore its crumbling corridors and moss-covered carvings. This immersive adventure invites you to connect deeply with the raw, untamed beauty of the land and the timeless spirit that dwells within its sacred ruins.

We then journey to the sacred heights of Phnom Kulen Mountain, the birthplace of the ancient Khmer Empire and home to the magnificent Reclining Buddha statue carved into the mountain’s summit. Here, amidst incense and prayer flags, we will make offerings and prayers and connect with the timeless serenity of the Buddha and the powerful spiritual essence that flows through this sacred mountain.
Kulen Mountain Waterfall
We will then descend into the valley to experience the natural splendor of Phnom Kulen Waterfall, one of Cambodia’s most beloved sacred sites, considered highly potent for purification, energetic renewal, and chakra activation. Hidden within the lush jungle, the cascading waters flow over ancient sandstone, creating shimmering pools perfect for a refreshing dip. Surrounded by tropical forest and local pilgrims, this sacred waterfall embodies the life-giving energy of the land, a place to cleanse, renew, and feel deeply connected to the spirit of nature and the heart of Khmer culture.
River Bed of 1000 Carved Lingams
We will then venture to the River of a Thousand Lingams, a sacred site where the riverbed itself is intricately carved with countless stone lingams and divine figures dating back to the 11th century. These ancient carvings were created to sanctify the flowing waters, symbolizing the life force of Shiva and the fertility of the land. As the clear waters ripple over the sacred stones, the site radiates a profound sense of peace and reverence, a timeless reminder of the deep spiritual connection between nature, devotion, and creation.
Sunset over Valley
As our day’s journey draws to a close, we gather to watch the sun set over the vast Siem Reap Valley, where golden light spills across the forests and distant temple spires. From this elevated vantage point, the landscape glows with a quiet majesty, a perfect moment of reflection and gratitude. Here, bathed in the soft hues of dusk, we honour the sacred land that has guided our path and carry its timeless stillness and wisdom within us as we return to the world beyond.
