Leave Cambodia empowered by a life-changing retreat that will impact you for years to come.    

Our journey begins in Siem Reap, a resort town in northwestern Cambodia that is the gateway to the ruins of Angkor Wat.  We will stay three nights at the world-class Navutu Dreams Resort & Wellness Retreat.  

After experiencing Siem Reap, we will venture to a country-side retreat location in Chhlong in the Kratié Province where the heart of our journey will truly unfold.  Home base will be the Le Relais de Chhlong, a historic boutique hotel with private suites beautifully situated along the Mekong River reserved solely for our group.  Here you will be pampered by an incredible staff preparing authentic meals prepared with the finest local ingredients for five nights.   

Upon conclusion of our time in Chhlong, we will venture to Phnom Penh where you can tour the capital city of Cambodia and relax at the beautiful Palace Gate Hotel before returning home.
