Seekers Testimonials

Thank you for creating this space. It is very much needed. This experience was particularly impactful. I found such a deep rest during this time. It was eye-opening how burnout I was before the retreat. This retreat became a vehicle for me to manage my stress and anxiety.

Nila

Breakthrough experience, thank you so much for creating this space. The silent aspect was great. I would call it mindful renewal. Outstanding in all dimensions.

Hatem

The retreat was more than I ever expected, which isn’t known for retreats immersed in nature. Every day was inspiring and peaceful. The house and common spaces were beautifully designed, the plant-based menu inspired me to give up meat after the retreat. The meditation, breathing work, and yoga were calming and centring. I was very impressed!

Meredith

Silence became a teacher. It´s impressive how much the mind can quiet in only 4 days. It felt like a mental detox combined with a body recharging. Very special moment in time for me. The teacher is superb, I felt guided and taken care of.
