Step out of your everyday rhythm and into the mountains of Yên Tử. Five days of guided fasting, meditation and creative practice, with Dieter, Hoàn and the retreat team beside you.
Step away.
Make room for An.
An means peace. Five guided days at Legacy Yên Tử, with fasting, mountain walks and quiet reflection. No fasting or meditation experience is needed.
If you have a health condition or take medication, seek advice from your treating healthcare professional before considering fasting and contact our team before booking. This is a non-medical retreat.
What does fasting here mean? The programme uses a modified Buchinger fast with juices, vegetable broth, tea and water, alongside daily guidance. A welcome meal and preparation for the return to food are part of the retreat.

What stays with you.
In our guests’ own words.
Reflections on mindfulness, mountain visits and creative workshops, shared by guests of An Retreat in May 2026.
Phạm Thị Huyền
An Retreat guestDuring this detox retreat, I was deeply impressed by how well the programme at Legacy was organised and how naturally it suited this sacred place.
New experiences, including offering incense to King-Monk Trần Nhân Tông and taking part during Vesak, brought a great deal of energy.
Qua đợt detox lần này tôi cảm nhận thấy việc tổ chức tại Galaxy rất ấn tượng phù hợp với vùng đất linh thiêng, tạo cho dấu ấn được trải nghiệm nhiều hoạt động mới như dâng hương cho Phật Hoàng Trần Nhân Tông và dịp lễ Phật đản mang lại nhiều năng lượng.
Hồ Huỳnh Thiên Trang
An Retreat guestDrinking broth while blindfolded is the moment I remember most because it made me realise that I had never before focused all of my senses on eating and drinking.
Bịt mắt ăn soup (uống nước hầm) là khoảnh khắc mà tôi nhớ nhất vì nó giúp tôi nhận ra trước đây chưa bao giờ tôi tập trung toàn bộ giác quan cho việc ăn uống.
Phan Minh Thu
An Retreat guestThe whole journey. You created an atmosphere of freedom and trust as the foundation for change and transformation in both my body and mind.
Cả một hành trình. Các Bạn đã tạo dựng bầu không khí tự do & tin tưởng làm nền tảng cho sự Thay đổi & chuyển hóa của cả Thân & Tâm tôi.
Julie F. Camesa
An Retreat guestFirst of all, I would like to thank you and everyone on your team for an excellent retreat. I could not have asked for more.
What struck me most was the care, attention, passion, originality, creativity and knowledge you all gave us to reawaken our senses. I came out of An Retreat closer to experiencing An. Mindfulness is what I remember most.
Estrella Quilendrino
An Retreat guestFasting showed me that I can optimise my body's condition and that I can do it.
The vision board helped us visualise our hopes, goals and aspirations.
Peter Quilendrino
An Retreat guestThe final meditation was the perfect conclusion. It anchored the idea that fasting and health can be taught in an interesting, wonderful and positively memorable way.
Great and cheeky idea, Dieter.
Annissa Poon
An Retreat guestI really enjoyed the orientation sessions because I learned something new each time.
The vision board and mask-painting activity helped me put my thoughts into writing in a concrete way. I could tell that the journal had been prepared very meticulously because the questions were so intentional.
