"Transformative experience "

I recently attended a self-development retreat in Thailand, and it was honestly an amazing experience. From start to finish, everything felt so transformative.
Manuel and his team were fantastic; welcoming, knowledgeable, and super supportive, guiding us through activities that helped us grow mentally and emotionally. The setting in Thailand was beautiful and peaceful, which made the whole experience even better. There was a great mix of mindfulness practices, personal development workshops, and time to just reflect. It was an unforgettable experience, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to reconnect with themselves and take their personal growth to the next level. Thank you again for everything!

"SOHA is a rare and beautiful gift "

My SOHA experience in Thailand this past week was beyond anything I could have imagined—so profound, so rich, that putting it into words almost feels like risking its magic. This retreat is not just a program; it’s a journey through layers of the self, seamlessly blending the physical with the psychological, introspection with transformation, and the tangible with the spiritual.
Manuel and his extraordinary team have created a space that is both nurturing and gently challenging—a rare balance that allows you to break through personal barriers while feeling completely supported.
One of the most powerful lessons I took with me was this: 'My worth is how I feel'. And as I left, I carried with me a deep, undeniable connection—to myself, to my source of energy, and to the vast, intricate universe we are all a part of.
SOHA is a rare and beautiful gift.

"The retreat in Thailand was everything…"

The retreat in Thailand was everything I had hoped for and more. It was the perfect mix of activities and sightseeing and relaxation ,and I could not fault the location.
The friendly Soha team could not do enough for us and everything ran very smoothly.
It was great mix of attendees and I made some very good friends too.
From the afternoons on the beach with yoga,to Thai boxing in the morning and ice baths , James Bond Island,cooking and eating together - too many great things to list..
It was just what I needed after a very stressful year and has got me on track for a great 2025.
I would definitely attend another one.

"What an outstanding experience"

What an outstanding experience! I arrived a shredded exhausted wreck. I left feeling better than I have done in a very long time. The mixture of wellness days alternating with fabulous excursions gave a great balance to the whole retreat. Everyone who works for SOHA are highly professional and equally approachable. The atmosphere amongst all of us was fabulous and Manuel is exceptional in his ability to bring people together. My thanks to each and everyone on the retreat for making this so special and I would highly recommend SOHA to anyone who needs a transformative experience.

"An unforgettable life changing retreat ! "

What an unforgettable experience I have had! This Thailand retreat was a perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, self-awareness, and fun. I leave with renewed energy, purpose, and spirit for 2025—a reminder that growth happens when we embrace the unfamiliar and open ourselves up to new possibilities.

A huge thank you to the incredible team:
• Bev, for organizing everything flawlessly before we arrived.
• Tum, our amazing day trip guide—every trip was idyllic, and your knowledge is unbelievable!
• The Muay Thai team for such empowering, fun sessions, and Tove, for encouraging us all (and helping me reach 9 minutes in an ice bath.. insane!).
• Anna & Kirsten, for amazing therapy, workshops, and support—thank you for guiding us and holding space in such an easy way 🙏
• Manuel, your incredible passion shines through in every detail and throughout the team 😃! Thank you for your support—this retreat is truly special, and your work with the Athletic Minds Foundation is so inspiring.

I feel so fortunate to have been part of this journey. Thank you all—until the next time! 🥊🙏🧘‍♀️!!

"Truly transformational!"

Where to begin…what an incredible experience, I’ve loved every minute of it. The team were just so wonderful and welcoming, I instantly felt comfortable and safe, nothing was too much. Manuel is an incredible human being, great storyteller and so inspiring, just being in his presence you feel his buzzing energy and passion for life. Tove, Anna & Kristen are all just amazing at what they do. The guys at The Unit, Fluk, Sanong & Barry, are wonderful Muay Thai teachers, push you hard & are incredibly patient. I’ve learnt a lot about myself in the therapy & psychoeducation sessions, really powerful stuff. The trips were excellent, Tum is a great guide and a fountain of Thai knowledge. Everyone should try yoga on the beach while the sun sets, truly magical - thank you Ging, another patient wonderful teacher.

I really do feel I’ve transformed over the 10 days, it was just a perfect way to end my year. Already planning to return for the fitness retreat in 2025. Massive thank you to everyone, I’m leaving Soha with a full heart ❤️

"Wellbeing and adventure"

This has been one of the best things I have ever done for myself! I came here not knowing how I would be able to go through the transformation process as others had written about previously. I thought surely that would not be possible. I have leaned so much about myself over these incredible past 10 days. I am sat by the beautiful pool at the hotel writing this as it’s my last day. The retreat is a perfect balance between wellness and adventure. The trips are fabulous with the amazing Tom and stephen as guides. The therapy and the psycho educational workshops have been eye opening and have helped me to understand myself better in 10 days than I have done in the past few years. I have found a piece of myself which I thought was lost. The fitness doing muy Thai has been the best training I have done in ages with the lovely Tove and her crew. Yoga on the beach with the sound of waves and the eagles flying overhead was truly a beautiful experience, not to forget the massages. The hotel is lovely and the people here are so friendly. Thank you Manuel for putting together this truly magical life changing experience. I am grateful for you all. You meet wonderful people on a similar journey and the Thai food is exquisite. I would come back in a heartbeat.

"Incredible!"

Incredible!! It really was transformational- I feel like I’ve came home equipped with so much to help me deal with the struggles of day-to-day life. This was my 1st ever retreat and so I was initially very sceptical.. thinking it seemed to good to be true but I’m so glad I booked it. It’s very well put together and the staff are great! I was able to learn so much about myself whilst being able to experience so much of what Thailand has to offer.

"Wow absolutely blown away"

Wow absolutely blown away. Where do I start to explain this most amazing life changing experience. From start to finish it was more than expected. Communication with the crew from start to finish has been excellent. Every aspect and experience was top notch. The professionalism of the staff was second to none. I had never done anything like this before so was totally out of my comfort zone and was very apprehensive about the whole thing. But I need not have worried as it feels like I have now made a new family for life by bonding in such a way that I thought I never would. Thank you to everyone for such wonderful experience 💙
