About this Retreat
Your Guides
In 1987, Rosemary and Steve traveled to Koh Phangan Island, Thailand, to the international meditation center Wat Kow Tahm (Mountain Cave Monastery).
Originally, they intended to stay there for only three weeks of personal practice. However, because they carried a letter of introduction from a prominent abbot of another monastery, they were warmly welcomed by the head nun, Mae Chee Ahmon.
Since many travelers wished to learn meditation, she asked Rosemary and Steve to begin teaching.
As interest in meditation continued to grow, she encouraged them to begin leading structured retreats.
Thus, in May 1988, they conducted their first 10-day meditation retreat.
For 25 years, Rosemary and Steve served as resident teachers at Wat Kow Tahm, teaching more than:
8,000 students
from 85 countries around the world
In March 2013, they led their final retreat at the center and returned to Australia.
Today they continue teaching:
on the Gold Coast (Australia)
and at two retreat centers in Europe

This 10-day silent meditation retreat is a rare opportunity to learn from the teachings of Rosemary and Steve Weissman, internationally respected meditation teachers who spent 25 years teaching at the renowned Wat Kow Tahm Meditation Center on Koh Phangan. Since leading their first retreat in 1988, they have guided more than 8,000 students from 85 countries on the path of mindfulness, inner peace, and insight.
The retreat is dedicated to the deep cultivation of mindfulness, compassion, and inner balance. Participants follow a structured daily schedule that includes sitting meditation, walking meditation, mindful movement practices, and Dharma teachings. All core teachings are presented through professionally recorded retreat videos, while personal guidance is provided through private Zoom interviews with Rosemary and Steve. On-site support is offered by their senior students, Julia Lauter and Holger Fröhlich.
Rosemary and Steve's approach combines mindfulness with loving-kindness and compassion, helping practitioners develop greater clarity, emotional balance, and a deeper understanding of the causes of stress and suffering. Their teachings are practical, gentle, and designed to be integrated into everyday life.
The retreat takes place at the peaceful Koh Phangan, surrounded by tropical nature and just a short walk from the beach. Participants stay in eco-bungalows with single or shared accommodation and enjoy nutritious vegetarian meals in a supportive environment dedicated to meditation and mindful living.
