Retreat Testimonials: what others are saying about us

 If you are thinking of having a break at Nirvana Wellness Retreat, here is another reason why:


Dear Shanti,

I would like to express my sincere thanks for your invitation to last weekends retreat. As always, I returned home feeling deeply grounded and refreshed. 

I have found your teaching on the kundalini very insightful. The idea of increasing ones energy from within is such an extraordinary and powerful concept. In now seems almost comical to think of the lengths we go to in attempting to increase our energy and vitality - energy drinks, coffee, supplements, extreme exercise, we are hitting the bullseye of the wrong target. It is encouraging to think that you can push beyond the effects of food, medicine and exercise to energise and heal. 

I look forward to exploring the practices of meditation further and thank you for your instruction so far.

Yours faithfully,

Words cannot convey how joyous and peaceful I feel at Nirvana.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.


I will take this opportunity to let you know how wonderful I am feeling.
I have (amazingly) been waking up earlier and doing 10 mins of
meditation and today added a little yoga stretches after meditation.
The weekend was exactly what I needed to start up my engine.
I knew this but had gotten into a "not living my life to fullness"
kind of rut.

Thank you for the weekend and to you all for just being. I will make
meditation a daily practice. Deposits into my spiritual bank account.
ha ha ha

Thanks and hope to see you again soon.
Kindest regards
Del Hargreaves


I have often said my week at Nirvana saved my life, certainly turned it around. It pulled me out of the hole I was in, such a complete break, no decisions to make everything carefully thought out for you, just time to rejuvenate.  When I got home I felt so good, I was motivated, more alive, had more energy and determined not to return to how I felt before, the change was huge. One year on I still benefit from my stay at Nirvana. I can't thank everyone there enough. Namaste, Helen
