THE STORY BEHIND SMILEY RETREAT

It was the spring of 2013 when Luca Sonzogni started on a really difficult personal path that transformed his life completely. Luca had been in London for well over a decade working in finance and the corporate world, a very fast paced and demanding lifestyle that in the long run proved to be unsustainable.  Shortly after leaving, he embarked on a soul searching journey to Brazil, Nepal, India and eventually arrived at the Yoga Village of Koh Phangan.

Luca touched the bottom then and climbing up involved completing studies in Nutrition at the College of Naturopathic Medicine in London, becoming a Yoga Teacher at the Sivananda Ashram in Madurai, India and ultimately profoundly changing his value system and lifestyle.

Since September 2016, he has been living in Srithanu, Koh Phangan, where a healthy living community of internationals share the natural beauty of this tropical island, the many yoga schools, workshops, events, gatherings, fresh food and wholesome restaurants. It is a perfect place where to find self-development and healing, sun, peace and connection.

Luca set up a nutritional therapy practice online and worked as Detox Manger for specialist detox centres in Koh Samui. There he had the wonderful gift of witnessing first hand, over and over, the healing power of fasting. Eventually this led to the setting up of the Smiley Detox, a community fasting detox, in Koh Phangan and online. People loved the experience and that prompted him to start the Smiley Retreat, to give everyone the opportunity of a flexible detox and wellness experience, in a truly unique place.
