FEEDBACK

• “I really enjoyed my stay, the workshops and classes and would come back any time. The variety of topics on offer was really overwhelming and it was hard to know which one to take up first!” ~ Florian Dherer (Germany)
• “This was by far the best Samavesha I have attended for so many reasons…The planning, the caliber of teaching staff, the variety of offerings, the intention of the people who organized it, and the humility of the folks who planned and executed the logistics was so fantastic.  I loved the beauty of the venue.” ~ Jacalyn Prete (USA)
• “It was wonderful to experience the event and all the efforts you all put forth was evident. I could feel the theme in every session I attended. It reinforced my pride to be part of something much bigger than me.” ~ Atha Panou (USA)
• “It was wonderful to be in community again, it topped up the high I felt after the Rockies. Once again I felt like I had come home, I love our Kula so much.” ~ Noeleen Tyrrell (Ireland)
