Thee yoga teachers were great. I haven't done a lot of yoga before and the teacher explained the beginners poses well whilst more experienced members of the class were able to do more advanced poses.

The reader was amazingly intuitive & professional in his interpretation of my reading, and I have to say I have never had so much clarity in my whole life. I came away with a feeling of complete assurance in the direction I will now be heading (on Tarot card reading)

It was my first ever reading and I didnt know what to expect. I was completely amazed by how accurately the cards reflected back to me what was going on around me, and I welcomed the clear advice (on Tarot card reading)

A very polished and professional workshop. I'm impressed with the fact that we covered one hell of a lot of ground in those first two days. I'm now committed and energised for my change (on NLP - Neuro-Linguistic Programming)
Anne Marie

workshop
The Creative Writing workshop was extremely informative, great fun and most of all very inspiring - she has a wonderful teaching style and encouraged each one of us to tap into our own creative source. The writing exercises and her tips and wisdom were extremely informative (on creative writing)
Matt, USA
on:
The Sanctuary experience
I came here to find a place to reconnect with my physical health. I didn't expect to cross paths with a physicist, authors, musicians, social thinkers, and be part of philosophical conversations more enlightening than I've had in years. I leave unwillingly but fulfilled in body and spirit, and ready to share and give to the world I'll be returning to.
Renee, Canada

The Sanctuary concept, philosophy, energy and beauty is outstanding. All who had a hand at creating the Sanctuary must had their hearts, minds, bodies and souls aligned to the Divine"

My Reason for joining the 5-Day dynamic Yoga Retreat was to practice a lot of yoga in a nice little group with an experienced teacher. And I got all of this during the great past five days.
She put so much effort in each class to make it good and tough at the same time. In addition to that we had a workshop where I learned some tricks and tips for me and my practice in the future.

I learned a lot in this retreat, not only about the physical side of yoga but also about spirituality and mindfulness. I gained physical and mental strength and most of all, inspiration relating to many aspects in my life. This retreat totally brought us back into the right direction.

You have been very helpful and tentative to everyone’s needs, leading to a smooth, enjoyable week.
I particularly appreciated your open and lenient approach to the retreat; flexible with the intended plan.
Thank you for being so considerate and thoughtful with my dietary request. For the first time in month I could completely relax!
I love your music choice & you have a really calm soothing voice which actually makes a real nice difference.
Thank You so much!
