🌿 Vegan Detox Retreat: Eat, Rest, and Reconnect with Nature
Step away from the rush of the city and sink into a weekend of clean food, mindful rest, and quiet connection with the rhythms of northern Thailand.
At Little Forest, every meal is made from local plants and herbs that naturally support detox and balance. We cook together, eat together, and share stories around the table under the trees.
You can join for the full 4-day program (Friday to Monday) or come for just one or two days. Each day offers something simple and nourishing: movement, food, craft, and rest, designed to help you slow down and reconnect with yourself and the land.
Friday, 10 October
Arrive after noon and settle in. We’ll begin with our first shared meal.
Lunch: Vegan Som Tam (green papaya salad) and Pad Thai
Afternoon: Visit the local market, then return to cook together: bamboo shoot curry with Yanang leaves, pomelo salad with roasted coconut, and steamed banana blossom in red curry paste.
Evening: Group meditation under the stars.
