Lack of professionalism + unkindness
The webinar started late and then they had technical problems — it’s hard to call that professionalism...
Later, when I personally encountered technical issues and got disconnected from the meeting for a moment, I asked for access to the second part of the recording (which actually shows me disappearing) — they didn’t show the same understanding they had for themselves and demanded 110 euros. Not only is it a lack of empathy, but also outright profiteering!

Feels like coming home
I’ve been coming to this center for many years, and every single time the experience feels truly special. I organize this journey for myself once a year, and each time it brings such deep and profound therapeutic change. I always leave with more clarity about my life, a stronger understanding of who I am, and a renewed sense of direction.
The retreats are incredibly well organized — everything flows beautifully, and the team makes you feel completely at home. Their approach is always personal, attentive, and full of care. Each member of the team is highly experienced and brings something truly unique and valuable to the space.
The house itself is absolutely beautiful — warm, welcoming, and filled with peaceful energy. I always feel understood, supported, and comfortable there.
This year, I especially appreciated the new focus on preparation and integration. It adds so much depth to the process, helping me go even further in my experience and truly anchor the insights afterwards. I’ve witnessed incredible positive shifts in my life, things unfolding as if by magic — I believe it’s all connected to raising one’s vibration through this work.
To anyone considering joining — don’t hesitate. This place and these people are simply the best. 🌸

Deeply healing
The talks are always rich in knowledge, backed by science, and presented with so much care and authenticity. What I love most is how the team manages to bring together science, tradition, and wisdom in such a harmonious way. It’s not just about information — it’s about connection, heart, and community. You can truly feel the intention behind everything they do.
As someone who values evidence-based approaches and has explored various forms of therapy, I was amazed by how profoundly transformative this work is. It opens deeper layers of self-understanding and healing than I’ve ever reached through regular therapy alone — yet it also complements therapeutic work beautifully. The experience feels like true inner work, where insights arise naturally, and genuine change begins to unfold.
For me, it’s been a journey of clarity, self-compassion, and growth — a space where science meets soul

A Rare Place of Professionalism and Heart
I had the privilege of attending a retreat with this center, and it was truly a life-changing experience. The entire team is incredibly professional while also being some of the most heart-centered and genuine people I have ever met. It’s clear that they are doing this work from a place of deep care and a true wish to help others, and it is beautiful to witness.
The preparation and integration support is exceptional, which made me feel safe, understood, and fully held throughout the entire process. The facilitators are highly knowledgeable, very well-educated, and wonderfully attuned to each person’s individual needs, offering a deeply personalized approach.
What I also appreciated is that beyond the ceremonies, the center organizes talks and shares knowledge with the wider public, which I found incredibly enriching and inspiring.
Overall, I can only say that this retreat was conducted with the highest professionalism, compassion, and wisdom. It is a rare and special place that I wholeheartedly recommend.
