In their words
Satsang Adventures in Oaxaca was an unforgettable experience. Kristin led with such competence and ease—every detail handled so seamlessly that we never felt a single hiccup. The women in our group came together with so much support, sharing, and growth. The mix of lessons, friendships, wisdom, cultural experiences, delicious food, discomfort, and both the peace and chaos of Mexico created something magical. And knowing every venue and service was run by women made it even more special. I hope to make it an annual trip!
I went to Nepal and Kenya with this group recently and it was an amazing experience! It most definitely won’t be my last. Kristin made sure everyone was taken care of, and the entire trip was well thought out, planned, and executed. I had a great time, and I highly recommend going on a trip/retreat with this crew!
Life Changing Experience - went to Cancun/Akumal yoga and plant medicine and cenotes tour retreat and I had on of the best experiences of my life. I will forever be greatful for the people, places, and activities that I experienced. Kristin is an amazing host, teacher, and person.
I have gone on several retreats with Satsang Adventures and will definitely be attending more at the very next opportunity. James and Kristin provide an enriching experience which can only happen when there are several things in place. A few being a feeling of being seen, safe and loved. The growth that I have experienced under their mentorship is invaluable. Highly recommend!! I’ll see you there.
I went to Mexico with Satsang Adventures and had an incredible experience. James & Kristin are some of the kindest most welcoming people I know, and their expertise in wellness, cultivating transformation, and leading heart centered retreats is definitely something to write home about. I can’t wait to embark on another journey with them. 100/10 would recommend to anyone looking to journey deeper into themselves and find community.
TLDR; Satsang Adventures changed my life in so many ways. You are in fantastic, trustworthy hands. Invest in yourself and take a leap of faith! Satya and Kristen will be there to catch you.
