I feel like I made my way back to God, thanks to the retreat, that I found Him/Her. My relationship with Amma took a totally different turn. I was able to discover the power of the heart and forgive people that had hurt me very badly.

A torrential downpour of Grace and Blessings. This course blew my expectations out of the water, took them to a galaxy far, far away… Described it as “a crash course with Amma”. So, so very full.

How it has changed the way I think about my life! Actually to stop thinking and be selfless. I have felt such love and gratitude during this retreat. I have learned to be more accepting, to realize what a blessed life I have. This has been one of most amazing experiences of my life.

I had so many beautiful experiences, hard to put in words. I understood for the first time from my heart that it is really possible to reach the goal.

Yoga was the best in the retreat! I learnt so much - it helped me go deeper, embodying love and light. The silent yoga was so intimate with your own breath and mantra.

I have come away from this retreat with a profound connection to Amma both internally and externally, with a visceral understanding of the bigger “I”. I’m in awe at the level of care that has gone into this whole production. What a gift the silent retreats are.
