"Being able to join the 10 retreat with Sasha and Ricky was such a precious experience. The teachings are brought with so much love and attention, and really helped me to live more in the here and now, to live from compassion and love. This retreat taught me to feel love and acceptance in the present moment and in myself, which is such a beautiful gift. Life is no longer something to be controlled, instead I learned to truly say yes to life. Thank you so much!"

"A wonderful experience! The combination of silent meditation, yoga, and spiritual teachings brought insights I had not experienced before. The nature setting with fruit trees, mountain views, and a natural pond was healing and restorative."

"I'm pretty sure the retreat with Ricky was not the last one for me. His stillness is such a big inspiration for me. I am so grateful that my first experience with meditation was with Ricky. I couldn't imagine more gentle method how he taught us and led us from the very beginning to the last moments. I wish everybody could have the chance to be part of it."

"The teachings, filled with wisdom and humility, offered a gentle yet powerful introduction to Vipassana practice.
I came back home with deep love and trust in my heart, and with a sense of seeing the world through new eyes. It’s hard to put these feelings into words, because they can only be truly experienced — a blend of bliss, constant wonder at life, and a profound connection with everything around me."

"I came in with an open mind. I just felt very stuck beforehand and knew I had to do something. I was very stressed out and did not handle this in a positive way. A close relationship was suffering as a result so I did it for myself mainly to have a better relationship with her. It has just changed my life in a positive way. Others have told me how well I look and how contented I am which is brilliant. I don't get irritated at silly things that used to bother me. I try and meditate for an hour a day. If I booked into a 5-star resort it would not have given me what this retreat has. The retreat is so beautiful and calming. The participants were all lovely and we had respect for each other. I couldn't recommend this retreat enough. I just feel like a totally different person."
