A few days to slow down,
reset your nervous system,
and return to yourself.
Pause. Breathe. Return to yourself.
In a world that moves fast and asks much of us, many women find themselves constantly giving - to work, family, responsibilities, and life itself.
Return to Essence is a space to step away from that rhythm.
To pause.
To breathe.
To soften.
Set in the quiet beauty of the Austrian Alps during late summer, this intimate retreat invites you back into simplicity, stillness, and presence.
Not to become someone new
but to return to who you already are underneath everything else.
The Experience
Over four days, we move through a gentle rhythm of practices designed to support deep rest and reconnection.
You will be guided through:
-
Gentle yoga and body awareness practices
-
Meditation and nervous system regulation
-
Face yoga and facial cupping rituals
-
Thai massage-inspired bodywork sessions
-
Quiet time for rest and reflection
-
Sauna and deep relaxation
-
Slow walks in nature and mountain air immersion
-
Nourishing shared meals
Everything is optional.
You are free to move at your own pace.
A few days away from everything
that will bring you closer to yourself again.
Our Home
Our home for these days is a private alpine retreat in the Austrian mountains, in the peaceful area of Goldegg. The property consists of two identical, connected chalets on one private estate, offering both spacious shared areas and a sense of quiet seclusion.
Surrounded by forest, mountains, and open sky, the space is designed for calm and comfort.
Expect natural materials, warm wood, soft textiles, and quiet corners to rest.
Outside your door, nature unfolds gently:
Mountain paths, forest walks, and wide alpine views - inviting you to slow down and simply be.
Who this is for
This retreat is for you if you feel the need to:
-
slow down and step out of constant doing
-
reconnect with your body and inner calm
-
take space away from daily responsibility
-
rest without guilt
-
return to a more grounded version of yourself
No experience is needed in yoga or meditation.
You simply come as you are.
The rhythm of your day
Each day follows a natural flow rather than a strict schedule.
Mornings begin slowly with gentle practices and breakfast.
Midday and afternoons are a blend of workshops, rest, sauna time, and nature walks.
Evenings are soft and grounding, shared over dinner and quiet closing moments.
There is nothing you need to achieve here.
Only space to be.

About your hosts: Lamphai
Hi! My name is Lamphai
Originally from Thailand and now based in Austria, where I run my own massage practice.
My work is rooted in traditional Thai massage, a practice I learned in Thailand and have continued to develop through years of hands-on experience with clients seeking relaxation, recovery and balance.
I believe in the body’s natural ability to restore itself when given the right space, care and attention. Through my work, I create moments of deep relaxation where both body and mind can soften.
About your Hosts:
Candy
Hi! I am Candy, a Thai-Belgian practitioner with a deep appreciation for stillness, connection and the importance of taking time for yourself.
In my work, I meet many women who feel overwhelmed by the pace of daily life, constantly giving, rarely pausing. This has inspired me to create spaces where women can step away from the noise and reconnect with themselves.
With roots in both Thailand and Europe, I bring together a blend of cultures, perspectives and practices, always with the intention of creating a calm, safe and nurturing environment.
Together with my niece, Lamphai - I am passionate about guiding women back to their essence - gently, authentically and without pressure.
