Samadhi Retreats & Meditation

I have just enjoyed another excellent retreat with Samadhi in Lincoln. I particularly like the pace of these retreats, with plenty of time to absorb and reflect on the talks, either in solitude or in the company of a diverse group of people, all exploring the same territory. I look forward to my next Samadhi retreat. Recommended for relaxation and peace of mind.

What an amazing experience. David and Manu were outstanding hosts, teachers and guides during this retreat. The sessions were incredible and the setting was beautiful. We had a comfortable stay in Trigonos, and the food was so good! Thank you, cannot recommend highly enough

Absolutely fantastic day at the relaxation retreat at the botanical gardens! David and Manu were both absolutely lovely and the whole day was just wonderful! I would definitely recommend this for anyone looking to switch off and relax! The scenery was beautiful, the content of the day was so helpful and I felt so relaxed the entire time. It was great to meet different people and get to know them over a nice buffet lunch! I've also taken away some tips and tricks about how I can relax in my daily life. Thank you! :)

An amazing retreat and highly recommend. David and Manu and the Trigonos team were so accommodating and provided a wonderful experience. The location is breathtaking and the grounds are so peaceful and serene. It's an ideal place to be silent and enjoy the peace and quiet of nature. I thoroughly enjoyed the Buddhist teachings and mindfulness meditation practices every day and feel like I learned a lot of techniques and philosphies. The light yoga sessions in the morning and evening were also a perfect accompaniment and the vegan food was fantastic. Thank you Samadhi team for a great experience, I hope to do it again!

I attended the day retreat at the National Botanic Garden of Wales, (a place I am very familiar with) this was my first time on a Samadhi retreat/course/meditation, and it was so relaxing.David has the most calming, reassuring, gentle manner, and he just describes life and how we live it to a tee! He is so aware of how our minds work, how we overthink, and he calmly and patiently explains how to help us to help ourselves in a way so easy to understand.100% recommended. Manu is also just totally lovely!The Botanics are a great venue, lovely surroundings and we had a walking meditation through the woodland path and sat under the trees, followed by a vegan buffet lunch.I did expect something a little more 'interesting' from the photos i saw for the retreat advert 'foodwise', but that is no fault at all of David & Manu as catering was totally down to the Botanic Gardens, and it didnt spoil a lovely calming day. Thank you.

This was my first experience of meditation and I couldn't have felt more at ease.The whole day was so calming and inspiring . David struck just the right level and I have come away feeling inspired to learn more.Highly recommended .

Such a lovely retreat experience.A truly delightful, friendly & informative retreat experience, so much so that this is my second retreat with Samadhi.Manu and David are so lovely & kind, they made me feel completely at ease.David is very gifted in guiding both the workshop and through each meditation and Manu’s yoga sessions were excellent and catered for all levels.The whole event was wonderful and for me it was like a refresher course, not only solidifying the practices I learned before, but also, I came away feeling empowered with lots of further practical tools & techniques. I look forward to continuing my journey and highly recommend a retreat with Samadhi for anyone who is looking at improving their mental wellbeing.Thank you both, Patrice x

I cannot recommend Samadhi enough! I have just been on a 3 day retreat and it has been absolutely brilliant. The talks, meditations and yoga plus walks in the stunning surroundings have restored my inner peace. Highly recommend, thank you David & Manu x

My first time at a meditation retreat, I wasn’t sure what to expect but it was fantastic. I definitely want to continue to explore meditation as a way to help the stresses and strains of a busy home and work life. The sessions with David were just incredible, the examples and stories he told of how to use the tools and employ the mindset needed to achieve a more peaceful state of mind, were so relevant. The location was stunning and the food and refreshments fabulous! I honestly think everyone needs to experience a retreat like this at least once in their lives. Helps ground you and reset your thinking. Thank you so much David and Manu.

I went on the Lincolnshire 4 day retreat with David and Manu a couple of weeks ago, and cannot recommend it highly enough. David's teachings balanced simple, relatable content with deeper ideas that I am still mulling over weeks later. Manu guided yoga sessions that were easy to follow, even though I adapted the exercises as an amputee, and I left each session feeling energised, strong and grateful for my body. I hadn't been on a retreat before, and was initially quite nervous, but everyone was incredibly lovely and I felt safe and settled very quickly. I also didn't realise how deeply relaxed I could be - 4 days lets you release so much more stress than occasional, shorter meditation sessions. Ever since leaving (even two weeks later), I have felt like life has been in high-definition and that my work is a massive opportunity to serve our wider community rather than a trial. I hope to continue working with these two incredible people and this community for many years to come.
