Therapeutic travel · groups of 6 to 8
We believe travel can help people rebuild their lives, through encounter, nature and the strength of a group. Two long retreats, guided by professionals, to breathe, understand and start again.
Our symbol
Our logo tells a journey. The line touches the ground, bounces back, gathers momentum, then dives into the circle: water, the group, a life starting again. This is the movement we support over four weeks.
Our conviction
With a guide who truly listens, with strangers who become close, with Thai hosts whose kindness disarms.
The sea at dawn, the farm's soil, the heat that calls for an afternoon rest. Nature brings the body back to the centre.
Six to eight people moving forward together for a month. What you cannot do alone becomes possible.
Our retreats
Four weeks is longer than most retreats. It is the time it takes to truly unwind, then change something lasting.
Prachuap Khiri Khan · Gulf of Thailand
A quiet, unspoilt stretch of the Gulf of Thailand: calm bays, fishing villages and limestone peaks. The sea as a space to breathe, let go and begin again.
Isaan · Suwan Organic Farmstay
An organic permaculture farm in the heart of Isaan, rural and authentic Thailand. Hands in the soil, the rhythm of the seasons and a family's hospitality.

The sea as far as the eye can see
Boats come in with the tide, the sky changes three times a day, and you end up breathing at the same pace.
A typical day
The day follows the sun. Activities happen in the cool morning and late afternoon, with two to three hours of rest in between.
A talking circle meets every day. The rest of the time alternates farm work, meditation, yoga, art therapy and philosophical exercises.
The coloured band follows the heat of the day: cool at dawn, peaking between noon and 3 pm, when everyone rests.
Slow down, sleep, settle in. Get to know the place and the group.
Put words to what weighs on you, in the talking circle and one-to-one sessions.
Try new ways of being. Daily practices become habits.
Prepare for the return with a concrete personal plan and remote follow-up.
Living in Thailand?
Isolation, disillusionment, a plan that has run out of steam. Many expats recognise themselves. Our retreats are just a domestic trip away.
From the guest book
Before Partons Ensemble came La Parenthèse au Vert, the pilot project Christophe Froeliger founded in France: two-to-three-week stays in a small group for people going through burnout or a depressive episode. Here is what some of them wrote (translated from French). The first retreats in Thailand have not yet taken place.
“The first days were tears […], sleep that would not come […] and a mind boiling over all the time. Little by little, with the morning exercises, I came back into my body and I can finally breathe. I can smell the cooking and I am hungry.”
“A thousand thanks, from the heart, for what this stay with you has strengthened and transformed in me.”
“Watch out, it's addictive! Thank you again for your kind and always rich welcome. Always rich in encounters. Take care of yourselves as you take care of others.”
Explore the concept, the two retreats and how we support participants.
Sea or rice fields, whichever calls you. Unsure? That is what the call is for.
A free, no-obligation video call to talk about your situation and check the retreat is right for you.
If we both agree, you receive your contract and pay a deposit to secure your place.
