Who is Nicolai Engelbrecht?

Nicolai comes from a life of addiction and crime. He has helped thousands of people change their lives. He's the author of the self help book "Gangsters 'n Gurus" and Co-founder of The Breathwork Program.

Nicolai will be guiding you through the entire retreat with daily sessions including meditation, breathwork and Qigong.

Day #1 Arrival. Welcome ritual.

Today we will arrive at the first location, a resort outside of Siem Reap. We will pick you up in the SAI airport. In the evening we have a "Welcome Ritual" and will go through the guidelines for the retreat. The next three days we will stay at the Khmer Lodge and will have the whole resort for ourselves. After the welcome ritual we will start "One Day of Silence".

Day #2 Silence, Your Inner Voice...

A day of silence... This day is about self-awareness. We will be practicing Qigong, meditation and breathwork, but no one is allowed to speak to each other for a whole day. This is a unique opportunity to discover what is going on inside ourselves.

Day #3 Angkor Temples

We will visit the Angkor Temples at sunrise. Connect to your past and let go of what no longer serves you. A day filled with impressions, connection and inner work.

Day #4 The Warrior and The Mountain

After the morning exercise we check out of Khmer Lodge and will be visiting Beng Mealea Temple. We will practice warrior breathwork and then we start hiking to the campsite on top of Kulen Mountain. Staying overnight at the campsite. This day is about building resilience and will power.

Day #5 A New Beginning

Sunrise meditation and Qigong at the Lion King viewpoint on top of Kulen Mountain. Hiking through the jungle and exploring the incient world of the Khmer Kingdom. Ritual with the local master monk at the Preah Kral Temple. Swimming in the holy river by the waterfalls.

Evening. Arriving at the Athakon House

Day #6 Connection & Service

Recovery day after the jungle trip. Breakfast at the Athakon House. Reflection and inner work, followed by a school visit at Prey Thom Primary School. 

Day #7 Resilience

Repetition of our new daily routines. We end the retreat at 11 AM checking out of Athakon House. There will be free transportation to the airport for those who are going directly home.

We recommend staying a few days in Siem Reap and explore more of the local life in Cambodia.
