Samadhi Retreats & Meditation Anmeldelser 

Meditation workshop and yoga practice were excellent. David provided real insight into the long-lasting benefits of meditation.
The location was beautiful, great food and we had the warmest welcome.
Thoroughly recommend it. Thank you David, Manu and to Shelley, Joe and Al at Ffos y Ffin.

This retreat , held in the beautiful yorkshire dales, was the most beautiful retreat , I have ever attended. High Tren house the venue, is to be highly recommended for the perfect setting and the staff who looked after us. Many thanks to David and Manu , the retreat leaders..

This was my first (and won't be my last) meditation retreat and I am so glad I chose Samadhi. David and Manu were both really welcoming and I was lovely to meet a great mix of non-judgental people with very different backgrounds. David's meditation workshops were just what I needed for an introduction into meditation and made the whole thing feel so much more accessible than I imagined. It was also great to be introduced to positions for sitting on the cushions, which made the whole process more effective for me. Manu's yoga sessions were also a brilliant introduction into yoga for me and I will certainly continue this in a class from now on. The venue was amazing, as was the vegan food.
I struggle to think of anyone I know who wouldn't benefit from this retreat and I was genuinely sad to leave.

I've been thinking to go for a retreat for a long time and I'm so glad that I went to Samadhi's, meeting with many kind people in the 3-day retreat and be guided with David and Manu's for very enjoyable meditation and yoga sessions. I really like hearing David talking about foundational knowledge about meditation after each practice session and we shared our life experience, thoughts together non-judgementally. This trip will certainly be one of the very unique experience in my life. Thanks everyone and thanks David, Manu, staffs at High Trenhouse to be so welcoming:)

Had a really great time at the retreat in High Trenfield, which was the first time I had ever been to something like this. David and Manu are very warm and welcoming and truly led a great retreat. I learned a lot about myself and the other attendees also on the retreat and it was great to all share the experience together. I truly felt the most relaxed and de-stressed I have in a long time and the break away from technology for three days was a really nice detox. The vegan food was great throughout the retreat too! I can truly say that I feel very grateful for the experience and am trying to be more mindful and grateful in my daily life going forward with the continued practice of meditation and yoga.

Just returned from my third, one day relaxation retreat at Ffos y Ffin and already looking forward to the next! 😇
It’s a place where the soul can truly ‘just be’ with no judgment. To connect or reconnect with the self.
Each time I’ve met some beautiful people who are experiencing different seasons in life and all leave the retreat with serenity and renewed understanding of their unique situation.
David and Manu are humble and compassionate, always structure the day with practical advice and insightful teachings!
The vegan food is always eagerly anticipated and exceeds expectations- just delicious , thanks to Shelley and her team who put so much love into everything they do- fantastic hosts !
Had the most indulgent massage with Shelly at the end of the retreat - what a perfect day. Left feeling gracious and full of gratitude!
Diolch yn fawr!

A wonderfully peaceful and safe introduction to Buddhism teachings, meditation and yoga. David and Manu are calm, caring and considerate. I have definitely come away with meditation techniques that I can use hopefully as part of a daily routine.

Had a wonderful experience, learnt so much about different types of meditation. Very calm and friendly environment, enjoyed meditating and doing yoga together.

I took part in a 3 day meditation and yoga retreat in Oxfordshire. I went with my sister and yogi friends. I enjoyed very minute. I’m not a vegan 🌱 however the food was great! Both David and Manu are kind, thoughtful teachers passionate about helping you grow and develop. Would highly recommend!!

I came away feeling at peace and joyful. I also learned some new techniques take forward. I was looking for a retreat to help de-stress and meet a like-minded group of people. David and Manu, created a warm and positive environment and I made some new friends which was an added bonus.

A truly delightful, friendly and informative retreat experience. Manu and David are so lovely and kind and for me being a complete novice to both yoga and meditation, they made me feel completely at ease. David is very gifted in guiding through the meditation especially for those of us for whom this is a new experience. The whole event was amazing and I came away feeling empowered with lots of practical tools. Definitely exceeded my expectations. I feel so good! This has encouraged me to set a daily yoga/meditation routine. Thank you both

What a wonderful insightful experience that if anyone is thinking about doing, DO IT! I am new to both meditation and yoga and therefore was apprehensive if this was for me or if I would fit it as a novice but I am so grateful I did! David and Manu are just lovely, kind and incredibly interesting people whom I have learnt so much from. I will always be grateful for the experience and learnings.

Wonderful, friendly and informative weekend. Such good value and I have come away with practical tools and feeling part of an ongoing community- thank you Manu and David

Great rereat and a wonderful venue. Despite challenging weather we were all made to feel safe and happy. I'd highly recommend.

Attended the 3 day retreat in the Yorkshire Dales and would definitely recommend Samadhi Retreats. Learnt so much about meditation and the yoga was amazing, also learnt about myself. Manu and David are wonderful, knowledgable and friendly, they brought warmth and humour to the whole weekend experience. I was apprehensive at attending alone but have made some great friends for life.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
