Our mission
WELLNESS FOR ALL
We want you to feel included
Our retreats are open to everyone. Classes are designed for all-levels making sure beginners enjoy safely the benefits of each yoga practice.
INTIMATE GATHERING
We want you to feel safe
Our retreats only welcome around 12/15 people per session to allow guests ample space for contemplation, introspection and moment of vulnerability.
PATH LESS TRAVELLED
We want to ignite your sense of adventure
Our retreats are immersive experiences taking place in far away locations that are yet to be discovered, bringing awareness to certain areas of the world where ancient traditions are well-kept.
ARTIST RESIDENCIES
We want to nourish your soul
Our retreats are centered around wellbeing but also social consciousness, local programming and art. For each retreat a selected emerging artist is invited in residence leading creative workshops and live performances.
The Founder
Founded in 2022 by Samantha Chea, ŌTIUM is the continuation of her career in luxury brands where she built a keen eye for aesthetic and attention to detail.
Born in Paris, Samantha is an avid traveller and is now based in Asia where she also deepened her knowledge of Oriental healing rituals. Driven by a passion for self-development, her intention is to serve and accompany people on their self-exploration journey in beautiful spaces.
She also wishes to bring awareness to certain regions of the world that are yet to be discovered, empowering local communities through the lens of regenerative tourism.
Media Kit
Ignite new sources of inspirations
All retreats are five to six-day immersive experiences that are designed to create long lasting healthy habits with an introduction to self-care practices. Led by international and experienced facilitators, the workshops are spaces that allow time for self-exploration, introspection and relaxation. Our hope is for each guest to leave the retreat with a newly found sense of empowerment and feel inspired to do better for themselves and others.
“We invite one artist-in-residence during our retreat, enabling and accelerating the process of healing and creativity.”
