Future International Meditation & Healing Retreat
Let go of what you've been carrying. Go deeper than you thought possible.
March 2028
Vietnam · Bali · Bhutan · Thailand
Early interest only. No booking or commitment.
You've done the work. You've read the books, tried the meditations, and looked for the answer in all the sensible places. And still, there can be something underneath all of it that has not moved: a weight, a pattern, a feeling you cannot quite name but cannot seem to shake.
That does not mean you are broken. It may mean that understanding has taken you as far as understanding can take you. There is a difference between explaining your pain and meeting what is alive in you directly—through attention, breath, stillness, honest inquiry, and practices that do not ask you to become more impressive than you are.
This is the retreat I want to create for people who feel called to go further—not a sightseeing package, a quick reset, or a performance of being peaceful, but a sustained period of meditation, healing, spiritual practice and honest inquiry.
I'm looking toward March 2028, somewhere in Southeast Asia or the Himalayas. Vietnam, Bali, Bhutan and Thailand are all under consideration. And this time, I'm inviting you into the process of choosing where we gather.
This will be a practice-centered retreat. Less collecting ideas. More direct experience.
The exact rhythm will emerge as the retreat takes shape, but the work will draw from practices at the heart of Paul's teaching.

Hoi An
Four Seasons The Nam Hai
Lantern-lit beauty · Ocean stillness
Ancient lantern-lit streets, UNESCO heritage, and an exquisite beachfront setting. Hoi An offers a layered, spiritually alive cultural backdrop—visually arresting without asking our work to belong to any single tradition. A beautiful setting for universal spiritual teachings and awakening the sovereign Self.
Ubud
COMO Shambhala or Four Seasons Sayan
Sacred springs · Jungle sanctuary
Hidden jungle estates, sacred springs, Hindu ceremony woven into daily life, and a culture that actively invites ritual. Paul's Amma-rooted, devotion-forward teaching feels at home in this setting. Ubud's ancient village energy invites stillness without competing with the work we come to do together.
Himalayan sanctuary
Bhutan Spirit Sanctuary
Mountain silence · Deep contemplation
A spiritually concentrated Himalayan country with a carefully managed approach to tourism. Monasteries, traditional healing practices, and high-altitude silence offer a distinctive setting for deep contemplation. Travel takes additional planning and may raise the overall cost—but the possibility is a profound, once-in-a-lifetime retreat experience.
Chiang Mai or Hua Hin
Chiang Mai or Chiva-Som
Quiet devotion · Restorative care
Northern Thailand carries a quiet, disciplined Buddhist presence that can deepen the stillness at the heart of our work. Chiang Mai offers the possibility of refined hospitality at an accessible cost; Chiva-Som in Hua Hin offers an established holistic wellness setting. Two different expressions of a warm, contemplative retreat in Thailand.

Mystic · Clairvoyant · Intuitive Reader
I'm Paul Wagner. I have been walking this path for more than 35 years—not as a philosophy, not as a brand, but as the central organizing fact of my life. I have done more than 10,000 intuitive readings, created The Shankara Oracle, and walked away from Hollywood and five Emmy Awards because nothing has mattered more than watching someone finally put down what they have been carrying.
I do not teach from theory alone. I teach from the years of practice, the scars, the dark nights, the devotion, the ceremonies, and the mornings when grace showed up anyway. I am a former comedian who can hold the weight of a hard truth and make you laugh in the same breath—because both are sacred, and both belong in the work.
I have been a devotee of Amma for more than 35 years, have trained with Native American elder shamans, and have learned that the practices are not mine to own. They are living tools for meeting what is real. My work is to cut through bypassing dressed as healing and performance dressed as transformation, so you can meet what is actually true for you.
Nothing is being booked today. I'm simply gathering the people who feel a genuine pull toward this retreat.
