GoogleEverything was amazing about this retreat: the facilitators, the teachings, the powerful therapeutic workshops, the center in a paradise -like environment... This is where you will discover your true self and be able to connect with the deepest parts of you that you would never think of. Everyone without exception should attend this retreat. Nitima and Karuna are simply wonderful beings. Infinite gratitude to you both!
Nitima and Karuna are incredible! I am so grateful to them and their 6-week mindfulness meditation workshop. Through the duration of the course, I found my happiness, awareness, and ability to concentrate were enhanced, and my day to day was much more enjoyable. They are both so insightful, patient, and caring, and are willing listen and help with any questions you might have about your practice. I'm excited to continue strengthening my meditation practice with their guidance and assistance! Thank you Nitima and Karuna!!
Just returned from the most wonderful retreat in France held by Akanista Mindfulness. The facility was beautiful, comfortable, with delicious food and breathtaking surroundings. Nitima and Karuna are masters of their craft and put together a balanced, comprehensive, and life changing program. And they are both so generous and caring! The combination of meditation, yoga, hiking, Buddhist philosophy and therapy was beyond anything I could have hoped for. I HIGHLY recommend doing a retreat with Nitima and Karuna and Akanista Mindfulness.
About a month ago, I had the privilege and honour to attend a Mindfulness Meditation retreat organised by Akanista Mindfulness in Southern France. The retreat was taking place in an authentic Buddhist monastery, set in the midst of mountains surrounded by breathtaking views. The facility, whilst basic, was extremely comfortable and the hospitality of the volunteers at the monastery was extraordinary. The hosts, Nitima and Karuna, are genuinely the nicest people I have the pleasure to meet. They will go out of their way to make sure you get the most out of your time at the retreat and will do whatever it takes to make your feel comfortable! The retreat was a mix of mindfulness meditation, yoga, holistic therapy, workshops and more, and managed to strike a perfect balance between all the activities. Overall, this retreat was a life changing experience for me personally! If I could, I'd give 10 out of 10 to Akanista Mindfulness for this amazing retreat, and would highly recommend it to everyone!
From traditional to modern life, Nitima and Karuna can help you discover your deeper self and find balance into your life, whoever you are (and yes, even in London). I am deeply grateful to have met them and will always feel safe, accepted and loved around them.
