Retreat Testimonials

Connie: "The retreat gave me a deeper understanding why someone chooses a spiritual way of life and what this can do for you when you are open to it and allow it to happen. Despite the full program, I experienced a great deal of peace and joy."

a retreatant: "I came to this retreat feeling afraid and exhausted and I am leaving feeling relaxed and very full. It is one of the first moments in my entire life that I feel totally understood."

Yi Wen Hsia: "It brought me clarity in my questions and clarified my path and what moves me. It moved me deeply and effected me strongly. It helped taking a much deeper look at myself. I very much like to learn about it and am open for it."

Iren Winterkorn: "Brought peace and awareness and understand ego as activity."

Ciska Janssen: "Despite the fact that I don’t understand things it has brought me more understanding and insight. This sounds paradoxical, but this is the way I feel it. Letting go has become more important, but difficult."

Kees van Ekeren: "This retreat brought me peace, relaxation, emptiness, happiness and giving. I have gotten to know interesting and very nice people that I otherwise would have never met. The surroundings were beautiful and a new source of philosophical information was given that is very useful."

Shiva Najaf Nejad: "he retreat gave me an answer to what happiness to me really is. I am happy and can now allow myself to feel this more in my whole body."

Jeff van Haarlem: "It has brought me in contact (relationship) with Adi Da Samraj in a very nice, beautiful and penetrating way. And with nice and wonderful people."

Monique Marten: "It was a very nice group of people – both participants and hosts. I felt that all people and opinions where respected and that made me feel save to express myself. Everything was very nicely and lovingly served, including food, the rooms etc. The energy was very nice. In that sense I feel invited to come again. It was an acknowledgment and recognition for what is important for me. From a new angle, but in essence the same. Feeling of enrichment and gratitude."

Soraya: "It led me to seeing things from a different angle. It showed me that more people than I thought of are having a warm and open heart as I do. It made me think of ways I’m doing in my live that prevent myself from being happy. Gave me some rest."

Mariso Acchiardo: "I always like the Teaching of Adi Da and this was the first time I could discuss this with other people that were interested in the same subjects and teachings. I really enjoy this and loved the interaction with the guides. Had many deep insights throughout the whole weekend, many tools to take home. And I am really looking forward to go home and implement this teaching in my daily live. Thank you so much."

Timo Jansen: "I felt a big pull to come and check out your school and it’s teachings. I am very happy I did. Thank you so much for having us. It is amazing to be here and experience Adi Da’s legacy. You are all very open and giving."
