Surroundings In the beautiful nature of Ireland, we will have some space in the program for a walk or relaxation in the green surrounding us. You will be inspired by the pristine nature and lovely countryside. We have the privilege of having a little river, fresh air, smiles, hugs, and growing our vegetables in an amazing garden, honoring Mother Earth. A curious and amazing fact of this area is that there are hundreds of wild horses walking around! Yes, it still exists!Accommodation There are possibilities to sleep either in a room, a garden cabin or to camp. Read HERE more about the accommodation and the rates. The food The meals are vegetarian and mostly plant-based, gluten and sugar-free, with special attention to gut health because a healthy and happy mind and body starts on the plate and nourishing, natural and tasty food is a priority. We have a wonderful organic kitchen and vegetable garden. During the retreat, we have special attention on each day, supporting the rising energy of the chakras with selected meals. If you have special dietary requirements, please, let us know.
Dharma Forest Retreat
Where Nature Reminds Us Who We Are
There are places we visit.
And there are places that quietly change us.
Dharma Forest Retreat is a vision for a peaceful nature sanctuary in Koh Phangan, created for people seeking to reconnect with themselves through nature, mindful living, meaningful human connection, and the simple beauty of life.
Our intention is not to build another retreat resort.
Our intention is to create a place where people can slow down.
A place where mornings begin with birdsong.
Where meals are shared in gratitude.
Where silence is welcomed.
Where laughter comes naturally.
Where nature is respected rather than consumed.
Where people leave feeling more peaceful than when they arrived.
Our mission
Is to create peaceful spaces where people can slow down, reconnect with themselves, and rediscover the quiet wisdom of nature.
Through yoga, meditation, mindful living, nourishing food, meaningful conversations, and time spent outdoors, we aim to offer experiences that support lasting wellbeing—not only during a retreat, but long after our guests return home.
We believe that genuine transformation comes from remembering how to live it more consciously, more compassionately, and more fully.
Everything we create is guided by one simple intention:
To leave every person and every place a little better than we found them.
Our Vision
We envision a world with more places where people feel safe to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with what truly matters.
Our dream is to create Dharma Forest Retreat as a living sanctuary where nature, community, mindfulness, and simple living exist in harmony.
A place where every guest feels welcomed.
Where the land is cared for with gratitude.
Where local communities are respected and supported.
Where every decision reflects kindness, integrity, and sustainability.
We do not measure success by the number of visitors we welcome.
We measure it by the peace people carry home, the relationships we nurture, and the positive impact we leave on the land and in the lives of those we meet.
Our vision is simple:
To create a sanctuary that gives more than it takes.

Our Philosophy
We believe that transformation rarely comes from doing more.
More often, it begins by slowing down.
By breathing deeply.
By listening.
By sharing simple moments with others.
Nature reminds us that nothing needs to be rushed.
The strongest trees grow patiently.
The rivers follow their own course.
The most beautiful gardens flourish when they are cared for with love and consistency.
Dharma Forest Retreat will reflect these same qualities.
A Long-Term Commitment
We are seeking a long-term partnership with landowners who share our respect for nature and our belief that beautiful places deserve thoughtful care.
Our commitment is to:
-
Care for the land with gratitude and responsibility.
-
Preserve its natural character.
-
Develop gently and sustainably.
-
Support local businesses and the surrounding community.
-
Build lasting relationships based on honesty, trust, and mutual respect.
We believe that the best partnerships are those where everyone benefits:
The guests.
The community.
The land.
The owner.
And the generations that follow.
Our Guiding Principle
Leave every person and every place a little better than you found them.
This simple philosophy guides every decision.
It is the foundation of Dharma Forest Retreat.
An Invitation
If our vision resonates with you, we would be honoured to begin a conversation.
Whether you are a landowner, a future guest, a local partner, or simply someone who believes in creating more peaceful places in the world, thank you for taking the time to visit.
Every meaningful journey begins with a single conversation.
Perhaps this is ours.
With gratitude,
Mukti
