7 Day Alcohol Free Mixed Retreat with Kim Raysmith in Thailand

Kim’s 7-day alcohol-free retreat follows a beautifully structured rhythm that balances personal growth with genuine relaxation. Your days begin at 7 AM with Hatha yoga and meditation, followed by breakfast at 8. The morning activity at 10:30 varies throughout the week — you might find yourself at Big Buddha, exploring night markets, or experiencing the luxury Onsen with its mineral spa and cold plunge pools. After lunch and rest time, evenings wrap up with dinner at 7 PM, then stretch, Yin yoga, and sound bowl sessions. The retreat weaves together Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, and Restorative styles with ice bath therapy, breathwork, and what Kim calls her “habit change program” — essentially tools for reshaping your relationship with alcohol and stress.

Your base in Phuket sits in a dedicated retreat setting with deluxe rooms featuring ensuite bathrooms, air conditioning, and pool access. The location puts you close enough to Rawai Beach for cacao and fire ceremonies, while still maintaining that retreat bubble feeling. The accommodation handles both shared and private room options, so you can choose your comfort level. The luxury Onsen experience really sets this property apart — think mineral spa, steam room, and that ice wall for the brave souls ready to embrace the cold therapy component.

This retreat welcomes all levels, but honestly works best for people ready to examine their relationship with alcohol seriously. The personal growth focus means you’ll dig into stress, anxiety, and habit patterns through two private coaching sessions plus group work. Solo travelers seem to thrive here — that perfect 5-star rating suggests Kim creates a supportive environment. However, if you’re looking for a purely physical yoga challenge or aren’t interested in the alcohol-free lifestyle exploration, this might feel too therapy-focused for your taste.

Insider Tip: Pack layers for the ice bath and cold plunge experiences — having a warm robe or sweatshirt nearby makes the transition much more comfortable, and you’ll appreciate it during those evening sound healing sessions too.

All meals come included — breakfast, lunch, dinner, plus healthy snacks and unlimited coffee, tea, and water. The kitchen handles vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and organic requests smoothly. Beyond food, you’re getting airport transfers, oil and foot massages, a private sunset yacht cruise, and personal gifts including a yoga strap, journal, and essential oils. The two private coaching sessions (pre and post-retreat) extend your experience beyond the seven days. You’ll cover travel insurance, flights, and any extra activities outside the planned itinerary.

Airport pickup handles your arrival logistics, and the free cancellation policy takes pressure off your booking decision. Kim’s team provides pre and post-retreat support, so you’re not dropped back into regular life without guidance. Phuket’s consistently warm weather makes this work year-round, though the dry season (November through April) offers the most predictable conditions. The retreat offsets 100% of its carbon emissions through BookRetreats, which adds a nice environmental consideration to your travel choice.
