Our Goa Retreat in February 2019 was a Great Success!
We experienced two unforgettable weeks of sun and ocean, hatha yoga, meditation, massages, Ayurveda and other holistic treatments, visits to sacred sites, a rich immersion in local culture, concerts, open-door parties, surfing and much, much more.
We traveled as a small group of friends. We combined the pleasures of companionship with the freedom for each of us to customize the journey in the ways that we wished.
February was the perfect time in Goa. The Christmas and New Year crowds were gone. We had peace, and space, and time to ourselves.
Goa is a tropical paradise renowned for healthy and creative living. The yoga and meditation centers are led by world-famous teachers. Goa is rich in Ayurveda centers, massage therapists, homeopathic medicine, amazing concerts, outdoor parties and sunsets with drum circles. There are hills, beaches, Banyan trees — and the best coconuts, papayas, mangos and curries in all India.
Goa is the happiest of places, a land of smiles and joys. All of your worries will melt away. You will feel happy just being there.
