To be silent and listen to the inner voice - so true to our human nature and yet so often bypassed in the reality we live in. I was blessed to sit in silence and listen without the pressure its going to end soon. Highly recommended to all who just need space and time to be! Thank you DK!" - Veneta"During the body scan, I got into the yoga nidra state. I was able to feel what you were going to say next. Though I was awake, it was also very dreamy at the same time." - KelvinThis retreat is open to everyone regardless of spiritual background, age and gender identity.
