Thailand resort Trisara debuts innovative ‘slow-living’ retreat
Thailand wellness resort Trisara, located in Phuket, is debuting an innovative slow-living retreat aimed at helping guests move towards better cognitive wellness.
The five-day WiseMotion Retreat, led by renowned neuroscientist Dr. Hanna Poikonen, will occur between 24th and 28th November 2024 and is designed to enhance brain health and well-being through a unique combination of improvisation, scientific knowledge, and interactive discussions.
Dr. Hanna describes herself as “a neuroscientist by education and a dancer by heart” with movement being an integral element of her WiseMotion retreats, which she has hosted at exotic locations around the globe, the latest of which is Trisara.
Participants on the retreat will benefit from exercises and scientific knowledge designed to balance emotional well-being, calm the nervous system, and improve cognitive function.
The program includes daily movement meditation sessions, WiseMotion masterclasses, and opportunities for creative movement and inspirational discussion.
Dr. Hanna enthused “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 tranquility. 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.”
