Nirlipta in a most beautiful setting – a truly nurturing journey for my body and soul. I am blessed to
know now my strong connection to the Divine. Hope to have the opportunity again”. J. Waldie, Beauty
Point
“The retreat had a wonderful personalized feel about it from the daily Yoga + meditation lessons to the walk
through the rice fields to the hot springs. The freedom of the body and mind after a few days on the retreat makes
one feel they are really living life again. Thank you
Nirlipta for all you have done for me, I will always treasure this time” A. White, Melbourne
“In short – to come from Europe to the “unknown” was first scary, however, the best experience ever – the
retreat, the Yoga, Nirlipta, the group of people – we seemed to mix so well. Nirlipta’s word was “This is good as it
gets” and my god that is true! Absolutely fabulous! “ H.
Croneman, London

common language.” MC Upper Brogo
