Inside a Real Elephant Sanctuary in Chiang Mai: Our Slow, Heart-Opening Stay at Kindred Spirit | Ep. 33
Hey friends, it’s Estefi — back again with my favorite co-host and travel partner, Meijun! After our last episode on the Vipassana retreat, we’re shifting gears and taking you along for what happened right after we spent 11 days in silence. A truly special part of our Thailand trip earlier this year: our 3-day stay at Kindred Spirit Elephant Sanctuary (KSES) in Mae Chaem, a remote Karen village nestled in the mountains about four hours from Chiang Mai.We spent 2 nights and 3 days immersed in community, conservation, and the quiet presence of six semi-wild elephants.

We Didn’t Speak for 11 Days: Silent Meditation Vipassana Retreat in Chiang Mai, Thailand | Ep. 32
Hiii friends, it’s Estefi — and today Meijun and I are taking you back to the quietest part of our 10-year trip: an 11-day silent meditation retreat.

We went full monk mode in Chiang Mai, Thailand at Wat Ram Poeng— and let’s just say we learned a lot about ourselves (and each other).So what is Vipassana, anyway?Vipassana means “clear seeing” — it’s an ancient form of meditation where you focus on your breath and your body, moment by moment, without reacting. Wat Ram Poeng, the tem...
