PACK YOUR BAGS AND GO!! A huge thank you to the retreat leaders Kristin & James for a beautiful trip! I know you poured so much into the planning of an international travel. I felt so secure and free to heal with all that you provided. Safe travels as you continue to spread your love and knowledge. Can’t wait to join on a trip in the future!

I just wanted to send a quick note about what a great experience I had with Satsang Adventures in Isla de Ometepe, Nicaragua. I am so grateful for the opportunity to join you on this glorious adventure in healing and curating joy. I was able to dive deep into my spitirual self and do that inner work that is so hard to do in my busy life. You made everything so smooth, carefree, and easy. I didn’t have to worry about anything, instead I fully embraced the journey. Thank you for everything. I love you both and I can’t wait to go on another adventure with you.

Just finished an absolutely beautiful & transformative retreat put on by Satsang Adventures. There was so much beauty, connect back to nature, love, connection, learning, and FUN! I work so deeply in the medicine space, and it is certainly needed by so many, but this was a powerful reminder of the medicine we use and have at our disposal every single day, and I NEEDED THAT! Breath. Peace in stillness. Quieting the mind. Not attaching to the thoughts. Allowing them to pass without emotional attachment. Deeper internal knowing that all is in divine orchestration and order. Most of all for me, truly taking in as MANY moments I can every single day with deeper awareness and gratitude. Every moment is a gift. Every one. This experience, your body, your mind, its all going to pass one day. I am so much more grateful and aware and present in my day, and I have so many more tools to incorporate in my daily practice. I love you Kristin & James. THANK YOU.

Returning home after an amazing adventure with Satsang Adventures. There was so much beauty and good times that I am still processing. I feel blessed beyond measure. The healing that was put into motion is exactly what I need to move forward in my path. There is a lot to integrate and the amazing group of humans I met is certainly one of my favorite gifts. It’s nice to find my tribe of like minded people.

Some of the ways I’ve tried to explain or describe the adventure to the island for retreat were as follows: Transformational, Profound, Peace & Bliss, Death & Rebirth. Deep gratitude for Satsang Adventures who held space and facilitated such an incredible journey.

We are blessed to have hot water showers along with wifi and daily cleaning in the rooms.
