An incredible trip to Turkiye with Katrina and Tankut. Everything was perfect, the weather, the vibes, the places we visited, our hosts, and the journey. We did a lot but not too much. Everyone on the trip was super positive and Katrina and Tankut made it magical.

High Vibe Collective’s Katrina Baccetti and Tankut Denker put together an energizing and spiritually restorative 8 day Yoga retreat in Koh Samui, Thailand. I am 5 months new to Yoga. Katrina led me in a daily practice that included modifications when needed and encouragement to keep trying when warranted, all under her experienced and empathetic lead. Tankut expertly negotiated the logistics and practical aspects of the retreat, ensuring we achieved goals, enjoyed Samahita Retreat’s amenities, and explored the beauty and culture of Kohl’s Samui island. Looking forward to my next yoga retreat with Katrina &Tankut!

My first yoga retreat and it's everything I could hope for and more!! I felt unplugged and was able to focus inward on what's serving me in my day to day. Katrina and Tankut have a gift - what a beautiful experience.

A weekend that was uplifting, regenerative, and communal. I feel so refreshed and learned a lot from Tankut and Katrina. Their energy is so positive and supportive. The combination of the yoga, massage, pools, and plant medicine is really resetting for mind, body and spirit. One thing I was pleasantly surprised about was how good the food was at Harbin. I'll be back again next year!
