What an amazing experience! I attended a meditation and yoga weekend retreat with Samadhi in Oxfordshire and everything was perfect. The many sessions (meditation, yoga and talks) were incredibly interesting and helpful. There was a very positive vibe within the group, the food was outstanding and the place was so beautiful and relaxing.It is a wonderful and rare occasion to get to spend some time exploring the mind with a group of kind-hearted people as well as taking the time to reconnect with your own self. Everything was very well organised, I have learned a lot over the 3 days and I think the positive effect of the retreat will have a long lasting impact.I highly recommend this organisation and their retreats to anyone and hope I will be able to attend another of their retreat.Thank you.

I just attended a 4 day yoga/ meditation retreat at Charney Manor. I would thoroughly recommend it. David`s meditation sessions, and teachings on, were excellent. Manu`s yoga sessions were relaxing and enjoyable. The retreat was very well organised and Charney Manor with it`s grounds is beautiful. The food was delicious and plentiful. I have come away feeling a lot calmer and better informed about meditation and it`s benefits.

David and Manu are the perfect hosts for this wonderful experience. I attended the retreat alone but came away enriched with new friends and experiences. I would highly recommend and look forward to booking again. Jan

I've just returned from the 3 Day “Relax and De-Stress” Meditation Retreat in North Yorkshire. I loved the content - the meditation and the yoga sessions were exactly what I wanted and I have returned feeling ready to continue my learning and practice. David and Manu are a great team. They brought together a bunch of strangers who left as friends. Thank you for a fantastic experience. Gail

Just got back from a 2 night retreat in the Yorkshire Dales and I can 100% recommend Samadhi Retreats. It has been a very relaxing and calming experience and I have gained so much from the workshops and meditation and the Yoga is just amazing. David and Manu are just so lovely and I have met some very special people which is an added bonus. If you need a bit of time out and a reset this will be the biggest gift you can give yourself.
