    Here’s what others said about our previous retreats

    Thank you Kavita and team for organising such a wonderful meditation retreat at the Tauhara Centre in Taupo. I loved every minute of it. From the well organised schedule to the beautiful surroundings and accommodation. It was great being around so many like minded souls. The energy from the group meditation and beautiful kirtan was so uplifting. I gained lots of life changing information and am feeling really motivated in my own practice. Kavita you are so so knowledgeable on these ancient teachings and very articulate on how to incorporate them into our everyday life – Leanne, Hamilton

    Just wanted to say thank you Kavita and the rest of the crew. We had an absolutely wonderful weekend – Joanie

    Thank you so much Kavita Parshotam and everyone else who helped make the retreat so special. I learnt so much and the meditation was amazing!! Being surrounded by so many like minded souls opened my heart up and sent me home with a glowing feeling inside. I made the vegetarian lasagne tonight for dinner and it was delicious!! Also I must add I miss my roommates late night spiritual convos – Molly

    I’m enjoying the vibration I came home with….thank you everyone for being so welcoming and loving. I’m definitely coming back – Donna
