More Than a Retreat. A Movement.
Gaybors Retreats are intentionally designed experiences for and by the LGBTQ+ community, set in Chiang Mai, one of Southeast Asia's most culturally rich and welcoming destinations. Produced in partnership between The Gaybors Group and The Pride Equity Group, each retreat brings together LGBTQ+ community members, creators, wellness practitioners and experts who are deeply connected to the LGBTQ+ community. Through both professional expertise and lived experience, they create a space rooted in authenticity, belonging, healing and meaningful connection.
A Space to Heal, Grow & Reconnect
In a world that never stops scrolling, Gaybors Retreats creates something rare: a dedicated space for the LGBTQ+ community to put down their phones, show up and step into moments of healing, growth and community.
Each retreat is designed to challenge attendees to go deeper: to sit with vulnerability, to speak their truth, to build real relationships and to leave with a renewed sense of purpose and belonging. This is an investment in yourself and a reminder that the most powerful connections happen offline in real rooms and with real people.
Retreat Themes
Wellness & Mindfulness
A deeply restorative experience for LGBTQ+ individuals ready to slow down, breathe deeply and reconnect with themselves. Through daily yoga, breathwork, guided meditation and holistic healing practices set against the lush mountains and serene landscapes of Chiang Mai, participants are invited to reset their nervous systems and come back to what matters most.
Sobriety Retreat
A safe sanctuary for LGBTQ+ individuals navigating their sobriety with meaningful moments of discovery, connection, community and healing. This is a space for genuine conversations around the challenges and successes of living an authentic, sober life, supported by people who truly understand the journey.
Fitness Retreat
Led by out and proud expert trainers and supported by state-of-the-art facilities, this retreat focuses on building strength, endurance and functional fitness. Beyond training, curated social experiences bring campers together to connect, build relationships and enjoy the best of Thailand.
Arts Retreat
Artists gather to focus on art, film and food. They come not only to showcase their work, but to deepen it. Through conversations, workshops and artist-to-artist exchanges, participants explore new perspectives, challenge ideas and spark collaborations that extend far beyond the retreat.
What to Expect
Intimate Groups
Small, intentionally curated groups of LGBTQ+ participants designed for deep connection and meaningful dialogue. Each retreat creates space for real conversations, the kind that happen when you step away from your phone and step into the present moment with people who truly see you.
Chiang Mai Basecamp
Nestled among lush mountains and ancient temples, Chiang Mai is a city that nourishes at every turn. World-class food, a thriving arts and fashion scene, rich cultural heritage and one of Southeast Asia's most welcoming LGBTQ+ communities make it a place where you are not just a visitor, but genuinely celebrated.
Creator-Led Content
LGBTQ+ creators attend as contributors, co-leading sessions and authentically connecting with their audience for meaningful moments.
Community-Rooted
Every retreat is supported by local staff and intentionally partners with LGBTQ+ friendly and owned businesses in Chiang Mai, keeping the community at the heart of every retreat.
LGBTQ+ Creators as Contributors
We believe LGBTQ+ creators are storytellers, advocates and community leaders. Gaybors Retreats invites creators to attend as active contributors, leading dialogue sessions, co-creating the retreat narrative and sharing authentic content that engages and inspires their audiences.
This is passion-and-purpose-driven collaboration at its best. Creators who align with the retreat's values become an integral part of the experience, not an afterthought.
