I wouldn’t consider myself a spiritual person and didn’t expect much, but I have to admit that this was a bit of a life-changing experience. It’s been a couple weeks since then and I still feel better in every way. Aches and muscle tensions I had for years are gone and my perspective on life has changed for the better. I think I’d fill a weekend speaking about my experience, but I want to keep it short and just like to recommend this place to everyone. The people who work there are incredible and full of love and kindness. I’ll be grateful to them and this experience my whole life.

El retiro de silencio de Hridaya es de las cosas más hermosas que me ha pasado en la vida. Es una experiencia sincera y muy real, lleva de verdad profunda y de un amor muy intenso. La instalaciones son bellas y cómodas, se evidencia el amor, el cuidado y la vocación en cada detalle. La comida es exquisita y porciones generosas. Deseo que todas las personas puedan vivir algo así alguna vez en sus vidas!

To say these retreats can be life changing is drastically understating the value Sasha and Kyle are offering the world with what they’re doing. Their centre is absolutely breathtaking, and if approached with an open heart and no expectations, you will have an experience that will change you forever. The cherry on top is the food! Every meal is so much more delicious than anyone expects vegan food to be, so much so I didn’t miss or crave meat one time, and couldn’t get enough of all their amazing recipes! Sasha and Kyle are beautiful souls who are full of love, compassion, understanding, and wisdom. If you have ever considered a silent retreat, look no further, and don’t hesitate. The only thing I can say to enhance your experience is to bring at least 2 pairs of sweat pants, as the wind can get chilly with all the shade and common cloud cover. Waterproof shoes are also a good idea if you have them.
