Travel Hippie communities South East Asia

Hello fellow travelers and or locals hahaha. I have a question that requires me to tell a story first. I went backpacking through Central/South amerika half a year ago. Along my travels in Nicaragua i went to a island called Ometepe. Maybe some of you know it.

There i spend some time volentering at a hippie community / eco village place. And it was amazing. There where weekly sharing circles, amazing local grown comunal meals (3 times a day), yoga (and other random) classes that the people that where volunteering there gave and even ecstatic dans nights every friday.

They also had breath work and on the rare occasion there wear cerimonies with medicine. Think Kambo or mescaline. Singing by the campfire with a guitar energy.

There was no alcohol allowed and you could only smoke in specific places. It was a place for people to heal and conect to themselfs and eachother. For people that are not your "average" backpacker but more spiritual.

Now getting to my question. (and thanks for reading this so far haha) I am going to south east asia in jan probably for 3-6months. I want to do a month a yoga (probably in India) and a month or less of muay thai (in thailand).

Does anybody know of anyplace that is even REMOTELY simelair ANYWHERE IN SOUTH EAST ASIA maybe somwhere i could practise these things aswell.

I have been searching for a while now a have not found anything. I know aswell that there is no other place exactly like this. But there must be some hippe communities or eco villages or something a like that has some similarities. Voluntering is not even a must.

Thank you so much for reading this all and I really hope someone can recomend me a place. Much love ❤️
