Road After Devcon event proposal: ETH Phangan Retreat (18-25th November, Koh Phangan)

ETH Phangan Retreat Devcon Edition: An Immersive Wellness and Networking Experience for Devcon Bangkok Attendees organized by ReFi & GreenPill Phangan.

Proposal to have this on the official side events list of Devcon Bangkok.

As an official side event to Devcon Bangkok, the ETH Phangan Retreat Devcon Edition offers attendees a unique opportunity to unwind and recharge after the high-intensity days of conference sessions. Hosted on the beautiful island of Koh Phangan, this retreat blends blockchain innovation with wellness, giving developers, founders, and conference-goers space to connect, reflect, and build relationships in a relaxed, natural setting.

The retreat will feature tailored activities for Ethereum developers and blockchain enthusiasts, including:

  • Vitalik: The Etereum Story: Unwind after a day of networking with a screening of the documentary, followed by an informal group discussion to dive deeper into Ethereum’s future.

  • Fireside Chats on Blockchain & Regenerative Finance: Engage in intimate, open discussions on the future of blockchain technology, ReFi (Regenerative Finance), and how to build impactful solutions post-Devcon. These sessions will provide an exclusive opportunity to share ideas and collaborate with like-minded attendees outside of the conference setting.

  • Shaman-Led Mindfulness Sessions: Recalibrate and detox from the mental strain of a week of conference learning with guided meditation, sound healing, and aromatherapy sessions. These experiences allow participants to restore balance and improve mental clarity, which is vital for innovation and problem-solving.

  • Coworking & Networking Space: Use our coworking areas to continue your projects, connect with new partners, or simply relax while brainstorming with other innovators and builders. The retreat encourages networking in a more organic, serene environment than the typical conference setting.

  • Yoga & Cacao Ceremonies: Start the day with yoga sessions tailored to relieve stress and enhance focus. In the evenings, participate in cacao ceremonies and community bonding experiences, offering unique moments of reflection and connection.

  • Workshops & Nature Excursions: Take part in engaging workshops on sustainability, such as a composting workshop with Eco Thailand Foundation partners and experience biodiversity treks that will inspire new perspectives on sustainability and the role of blockchain in supporting regenerative ecosystems.
