- WHY WE NEED TO RETREAT... (What is a Retreat? and Why do we need it? - Papae Meditation Center)
The time is now! Everything around us has been trying to tell us this all along. It's time to go inside. Wherever we are in the world, it doesn't matter. What we do for work doesn't matter. Regardless of who you are, we all have a need to get quiet and retreat inside. We need time to contemplate and reflect. We have a need to seek answers deep from within. So take this time to get quiet and still. Allow your mind to rest. Make time to meditate. Make time to slow down. I hope this video inspires you to see the importance of going "retreating" inwards.
Thank you to the Papae Meditation Retreat for allowing me to capture this beautiful footage. For anyone wanting to get away and retreat in Thailand, feel free to visit the Papae Meditation Regreat in Chiang Mai, Thailand. They offer 3 day retreats and longer if you are interested.

Thanks for watching.
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my TH-cam channel 9 months ago about self development. Now I have 1,581 subs and > 1,000 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.
Watching this video helped me connect with what i learned at a meditation class i recently attended. Thank you
Beautiful video and I hope you can find out the question of who you really are.
Beautiful scenery
Thank you so much 😊😊
Thank you very much for all your videos Nick! 😇🙏🏼
Awww thank you Luis 😍
I hope you enjoy this video. Please share how you are currently "retreating" below 😊❤❤
@gautam bk awesome. Thank you my friend 😊
Ur channel should be famous.... Bro Ur doing great kindly continue the good work..... All love and blessings to u..... Love from Mumbai India...... Also can we have some videos on how to retreat at home because there are many who cant go to retreat so this video might help...... Namaste 🙏💫
@@neelshah7013 thank you so much my friend for your kind words and great idea for retreating at home. Thank you ❤❤❤🙏
@@neelshah7013 greeting from Thailand 😊
I observe the Jewish Sabbath every Friday before sundown to Saturday after sundown. This is like a weekly retreat, as no technology is used, and only spiritual matters are appropriate. With synagogue more restricted due to COVID, there is much less social interaction, leading to a quieter internal situation. I do a lot of reading, praying and meditating. And eating!😊 The opportunity to be closer to nature depicted in this video is very appealing. Keep up the wonderful work. I liked your introduction, where you mentioned the stress and fear that so many are feeling. Thank you!!! That is the pulse of the world, and you have put your finger on it.
Does staying in my room listening to music count as retreat?
Yes it does. Haha 😊 we can retreat anywhere.
@@nickkeomahavong01 👍👍
hey,dear friends:) i have a question,please .. how many hours do i have to meditate like on a silent retreat,but at home terms ?? i have never done any retreat and have no idea about anything :( what's a daily routine or the daily process?? could you get me through that path ?? coz many meditators say that without this disciplined process (meditation retreat) is very hard to achieve the goal of non-duality or enlightenment .. thank you so much :** Namaste
@@travisbickle8008 I have no set time of it either. It depends on your situation, I suppose.
It can be ten minutes, and can also be a couple of hours, even longer.
This is the most profound way of educating us. Thank you Nick for these amazing contents you share with us all. Sending you peace. 🧡🧡
Thank you rama.

Super Nick. I enjoyed it. Realy no words to say.
Thank you so much 😊😊
They leave everything to find how to live life without any selfishness
😊😊
did the buddha ever define "soul"? i thought this was hindu and christian/muslim idea?
หวังว่าอนาคตจะได้ไปสักครั้งครับ
This is what Elohim has been telling us how to live on this wicked earth.
nothing is man made we just help mother nature reveal new forms of life and things
Yesssss 😍
@@nickkeomahavong01 😍 mother nature 🙏
@@blackheartgaming6121 🙏🙏

Are you now in Chiang Mai?
Yes i am 😊😊😍
@@nickkeomahavong01 How is it there comparing to Pathum Thani?
@@samuelzayton316 its very very peaceful at the moment because we are up in the mountains. We have no visitors so its been quiet 😊
@@nickkeomahavong01 Great. No visitors because of wuhan virus?
@@samuelzayton316 correct. Everything is shut down at the moment.
How l wish l could achieve that deep meditation that you and your students have I’m sure it’s easier in such beautiful places thank you Nick Sheila
❤❤❤
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I love this
I grew up in Seattle, Washington, but now live near a small city, Boise, Idaho. I am on the edge of the desert. It is remote and peaceful. Within a forty five minute drive, I can be to where I don't see a single person or building. I frequently go camping, solo to remote locations. I spend from two to seven days on those frequent trips. Not to campgrounds. No one is there but me. Sometimes my wife and dog go too.
Almost every day I walk by the river. There are few others there. I can't imagine being back in the big city. But I know it is a necessity for so many. Every day I count my blessings. I wish for everyone to find the peace and serenity needed for a clear mind and calm thoughts.
I'm still catching up on your video's, Nick.
Wonderful. I'm glad you have been able to find your balance and the environment that speaks to you. Keep up the great work :-)
@@nickkeomahavong01 If you ever come through here, have an extra tent and there's always room at the evening fire.
Very nice vid.
Thank you so much 😊😊
same wisdom new type of video
BlackHeart Gaming thank you my friend ❤️❤️

Whoah sir! This video is truly on fire!!! ^_^ - and to answer your question, I've still yet have to begin to "retreat."
Thank you so much. I even did the filming 😊😊 it was so difficult to put it together but im proud of the finished product.
Regarding meditation, i have a challenge for you. Just 5 minutes a day, BUT for 21 days straight. No missing.
Nick Keomahavong oh shoot! I’m actually not surprised that you did all of this - I can feel your essence in this work. 🔥🔥🔥
and with a firm YES - I’m down for the challenge :)
@@EDRIANPENGUINO 😍😍
Let's get started .😊
I wish life was different. Sometimes I think life is a punishment . I wish life can be different.
I love this video endless! Best wishes from Germany.
Aww thank you so much 😊

Ven. Nick, are the participants from "outside"? Is this how a retreat/meditation look like for "outsiders" should we join one in Papae?
Hey Nick! 👋🏻 So, I have a question which kind of links to this video. Basically what I'd like to ask is, how do you maintain the mindset that you are able to achieve (seemingly) quite easily at a retreat? Then you return home and the everyday hum drum of ordinary life starts to grind you down. I am generally a positive, patient and tolerant person, but how do I consistently keep that retreat mindset in the real world? Thank you so much in advance! 🙏
Nick you are doing well..
Thank you ❤❤❤🙏
🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍👍
😍😍😍🙏
I'm dying to go 😂
Yes feel free to visit when you get a chance. Www.papaemeditation.org
guided... trreated and now a healer
💙💙
love it
Thank you so much my friend ❤❤🙏
"Do we need to retreat?" Yes, often.
Amazing
☺️☺️
Noise chaotic assault etc etc etc - marketing for money. Retreat - oh yeah super excited - does not mean it has to be a group following - be an individual - not join a religion - all fake. retreat to mountain biking and beer or something. Not a 2 week course in yoga in Bali and become a teacher - money there. I am x I am here to create to live the life i want from my efforts.
👍
Watching this video instantly takes my back to my own blissful experience of peace at Papae Meditation Retreat last year. Thanks for sharing :-)
Wonderful. Come visit us again 😀
This is real life, one with nature, meditating, life full of calm so that the next life reincarnation we can become better human beings, until we don't need to be reincarnated again , I really want this life 🙏🙏🙏
😊😊😊 sadhu

I'm Canadian so I need to apply for temporary visa, Buy round trip ticket with at least 1,200 dollars in possession. Is this correct? Also if I choose to stay do I need to return home first to apply for citizenship?
Yes to come to Thailand, you need a tourist visa and a plane ticket 😊❤
@@nickkeomahavong01 If I wanted to stay on as a monk would I need to first go home than return to Thailand?
@@rekojah no...if you stay as a monk its much easier. But feel free to apply online and someone will contact you to schedule an interview and get you more information.
You'll love thailand.
@@rekojah here's the address www.papaemeditation.org/en/
Thank you 😊
