Amidst the lush hills of Phuket, where the turquoise waters kiss golden shores, Trisara, the island’s crown jewel of luxury resorts, is taking wellness to new heights. The renowned sanctuary, celebrated for its exquisite privacy and opulent charm, has unveiled its most anticipated offering yet: its inaugural WiseMotion retreat.
Designed for those seeking a profound reconnection between the body and mind, this retreat blends mindful movement, science, and serenity in a way only Trisara can deliver. Imagine a place where every breath syncs with the rhythm of the Andaman Sea – this is WiseMotion, a transformative journey within paradise to soothe the nervous system and promote emotional balance.
Happening from 24th to 28th November 2024, the innovative five-day retreat will be led by esteemed neuroscientist Dr. Hanna Poikonen and aims to cultivate cognitive wellness through a cutting-edge blend of movement, scientific insight, and interactive discussion. This marks the first time that the globally recognised programme will be hosted in Thailand.
Armed with over 15 years of experience in brain research and a rich background in contemporary dance, martial arts, and meditation, Dr. Poikonen will be leading WiseMotion participants on a transformative journey to boost brain health and emotional well-being. Her unique approach fuses movement meditation, scientific insights, and creative improvisation to offer a holistic experience overall.
The comprehensive WiseMotion Retreat will be an immersive programme featuring daily movement sessions, masterclasses, and opportunities for creative expression and inspirational dialogue, designed specially to promote emotional balance, soothe the nervous system, and elevate the participants’ cognitive function.
Panjama Leasuwan, the Vice President of Montara Hospitality Group shares, “We are honoured to welcome Dr. Hanna to Trisara and to offer our guests the chance to achieve mindful balance while enjoying the luxurious amenities of our ocean-view pool junior suites. This collaboration reflects our commitment to providing transformative experiences that enhance our guests’ physical, mental, and emotional well-being.”
Dr. Hanna Poikonen adds, “I am delighted to bring the WiseMotion method to Trisara, one of Thailand’s most beautiful and holistically minded resorts. This retreat offers participants a unique opportunity to explore the science of movement and brain health in an environment that naturally promotes well-being and tranquillity. The combination of guided improvisation, neuroscience, and the breathtaking surroundings of Trisara will help guests achieve a deeper connection with themselves and their well-being.”
It goes without saying that the retreat will be taking place at Trisara Phuket, the island’s most exclusive pool villa beach resort aptly named after “The Garden in The Third Heaven” in Sanskrit. Set in a protected nature reserve encapsulated by a tropical forest, exotic gardens, and the sparkling Andaman Sea, the resort features 60 ocean-facing pool villas and private residences, a private beach, the Jara Spa, and three dining venues including PRU, the only Michelin-starred restaurant in Southern Thailand, and an organic on-site garden.
Priced at US$3,200 per person for double occupancy and US$5,350 per person for single occupancy, the WiseMotion Retreat includes four nights in an Ocean View Pool Junior Suite, return airport transfers to and from Phuket International Airport, daily breakfast, communal lunch, and dinner hosted by Dr. Poikonen.
Amongst the other inclusions are a 60-minute Jara Spa treatment per person at Trisara’s Jara Wellness, daily morning movement meditation and afternoon WiseMotion masterclass with Dr. Poikonen, access to Trisara’s group fitness activities and fitness centre, an excursion to the 16,000 sqm Pru Jampa organic farm which supplies fresh produce for PRU and JAMPA, as well as a nutritious meal at the Michelin Green Star-awarded JAMPA.
