What to Bring?

Please bring a valid travel insurance to all trainings, valid for the entire  curse duration and all travel to and from.
This is compulsory and we cannot accept any student without a valid insurance. Please forward a copy of your insurance to [email protected] before your departure. Thank you.
Essentials
 Sarongs/ Travel Towel
Two or three sarongs are recommended. We will use these to cover our mats, as cover in massage etc. Travel towels also work exceptionally well, Some women like to wear sarongs for practices in the warm weather.

White Clothes
Bring a set of white clothes. We will use for some rituals. For men, simple pants and t-shirt is fine. For women you can choose either pants or a dress, as you like. We only use these one or twice, so don't invest too much into this.


Picture
Sexy Clothes
We ask you to bring an item of clothing that you feel celebrates your sexuality, or opens up a new expression of creativity. It need to be a typical "sexy" outfit...just whatever liberates energy. From animal print to see-through, burlesque, all-white lacy, your favorite underwear or something you never dared to wear before! Go for it!
Picture
Notepad and pen
To make your own notes in. You will be getting a course book from us as well.
Some people like good old fashioned pen and paper, others use an ipad etc. but note that power sources can be a limitation if your technology runs out (or bring a back up battery)

Picture
Natural Massage Oil
This is an essential of any Tao tantric kit! It is best to have some completely un-fragranced and natural oil...if you can eat it then it is natural! You can buy coconut oil easily when you arrive if you have a few days.

Yoga/ Qigong Clothes
You will want a few sets of light and comfortable clothes for yoga/qigong. Bear in mind that it is about 30 degrees every day in Thailand! If you have some, then bring them with you. But there are many great options available at excellent prices locally to the retreats.
Picture
Blindfold or a Headphones Eye Mask 

You will need an eye mask for blindfolded meditations. We may also have strips of material you can use, but many women like to have an eye mask. We also recommend (but not essential) to buy an eye mask with headphone embedded inside as this is amazing for resting to music or sleep hypnosis in your breaks or when travelling. Find on amazon.com
Picture
Jade Egg

These are an essential item for female practice. They are crystal eggs made of jade (or occasionally other stones) and they must have a hole drilled in the thin end.  
Bring one if you have one, else you can buy one from us. Please pre order your egg if you want to buy one from us.
Picture
Alarm Clock

On the days you are on digital detox, you will want a clock that is not your phone. We recommend a simple old-fashioned alarm clock. It could be analogue or digital.
Picture
Dance Veil (for women)

We like to have a veil to use as a dance prop for women. Once you have used one, you will want to keep one always! You can buy a proper veil or you can buy 2 meters of semi see-through material from a fabric store.
Picture
Water Bottle

They have a water filter at Neshima Restaurant for free refills. However, you will need your own container. We recommend to write your name on it in permanent marker so that it is easy to identify.


Picture
Flash Light

The location is set in jungle landscape. It has low level lighting, but you may want to bring a torch to navigate the landscape at night. 
Picture
Mosquito Repellent
We are all different when it comes to mozzies! You know your own relationship with them! It's always better to have some repellent incase you need it. There are many natural and effective brands available. We recommend avoiding brands with DEET in them as this is a very harsh chemical.
Picture
Sunglasses
OK...we might sound like your mother even reminding you of this...but it is worth getting proper UV protection glasses before you come rather than cheap copies once you get here! Look for a UV symbol inside the arms of the sunglasses. 
Picture
Small to Medium  Sized Luggage
As you are likely sharing a room with others, please keep your luggage small to medium. 
Picture
Red Dress

We celebrate our sexuality and power with the colour red. Look for a simple red sun dress, or something more sexy and wild if you feel drawn! You can buy these easily in the local area.
Picture
, Yoga Mat (not essential!)

We have a supply of yoga mats so this one is not essential unless you have one that you particularly like to use, or if you want to do private practice in your room. Qigong is without a mat and we have thicker mattresses for massage, so yoga mats are not so vital. 
Please note: you cannot remove yoga mats from the hall.
Picture
Less than usual...

No need to bring:
  • towels: provided one each in your room and changed regularly. 
  • heeled shoes: not suitable on the stairs and beach. But could bring for dressing up!!
  • Make-up:it's too hot most days, but you can bring some for dressing up events!
