Siem Reap, Cambodia · 22–29 October 2026
The Art of
Beginning Again
A yoga & renewal retreat for anyone standing at the threshold of a new chapter. Early Bird from BD 720.
There are moments in life when we feel called to start over. Sometimes it comes after a significant change — a relationship ending, a career shift, a move, a loss, or a period of uncertainty. Other times, the desire is quieter. A feeling that something within us is ready to evolve, even if we can't quite name what comes next.
Set amidst the ancient temples and lush landscapes of Siem Reap, Cambodia, this immersive experience invites you to step away from the demands of daily life and reconnect with yourself through yoga, meditation, cultural exploration, and meaningful reflection. Just as Cambodia has rebuilt, renewed, and flourished through centuries of change, this retreat explores our own capacity for resilience, growth, and transformation.
Limited spaces available.
"Where ancient stones whisper the art of renewal."
Why Beginning Again?
Carrying wisdom forward, creating space for what's next
We often think that starting over means leaving everything behind. In reality, beginning again is about carrying forward the wisdom of our experiences while creating space for something new to emerge — releasing what no longer fits, trusting ourselves again, and discovering that every moment offers an opportunity to choose a different path.

Held by Weam
Weam Zabar
ERYT-500 · Psychotherapist · Reiki Healer · Author
Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher (ERYT500), Reiki Level 4 healer, counsellor, hypnotist, and founder of Namaste. Following a lifelong struggle with mental illness, Weam set foot on the spiritual path in 2007 with an intense and transformative practice of meditation, yoga and energy healing. Seeing how those practices saved her life, she left behind a demanding corporate job to dedicate her life to guiding others home.
Weam's teaching style is fluid, creative and fun. Her enthusiasm, curiosity, energy, compassion and passion are contagious. She sees the potential in every student to grow and is nourished by sharing what she knows — nudging her students both through humour and deep dives into themselves.
Voices
From Past Retreaters
"Attending this yoga retreat, led by Weam, was one of the most healing experiences I've had. I almost didn't go because I didn't feel ready, but I'm so grateful I did. It came into my life at exactly the right time and gave me the space to reconnect with myself, find peace, and begin healing in ways I didn't expect. Weam created such a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment that made it easy to be present and open to the experience. I left feeling lighter, stronger, and deeply thankful. I would wholeheartedly recommend this retreat to anyone, especially if you're wondering whether the timing is right.. it just might be exactly what you need."

Questions
Before You Decide
Not at all. Practices are layered so both beginners and experienced students feel met. Weam offers variations and modifications throughout, and the invitation is always to listen to your own body.
Absolutely. Most participants join on their own, and many friendships are formed in the opening circle. You'll be welcomed into a small, supportive group, and you'll always have company when you want it and space when you need it.
Daily breakfast is included, we will do our best to accommodate common dietary requirements (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free). Let us know your needs when you register and we'll make sure you're looked after.
Siem Reap is a well-established, tourist-friendly destination. We move as a group for tours, use trusted local guides and drivers, and Weam is with you throughout. Standard travel precautions apply, as anywhere.
Comfortable yoga clothes, light layers for warm days and cooler temple mornings, walking shoes, swimwear, sun protection, and a reusable water bottle. A detailed packing list is shared after you register.
October is the end of the rainy season — expect warm days (around 30°C), lush green landscapes, and occasional short showers that tend to pass quickly. Mornings at the temples can be cool, so layers are ideal.
