This retreat was pure pleasure. It has provided me with the tools and expert guidance to build my practice. With Aham's wisdom, I now feel equipped to realise my dreams and to lead a fulfilled life.
Kayla Pearson
I couldn’t speak more highly of this retreat. From the moment I arrived all of the leaders made me feel incredibly at home. The beauty of the location is unmatched. I especially loved how Nikita and Disha specially the entire program to our group. I felt seen and heard the whole time, well also being pushed to try things outside of my comfort zone. The food was incredible, and homemade with love. I was able to deep in my spiritual practice, and get back into a routine routines that will support both of my mind and body. I made friends for life, and couldn’t be more happy with the results. This is a magical place with an incredible team.

Thank you for bringing your truly magical retreat to Suffolk. I feel totally regenerated having discovered a new level of inner peace, tranquility and calmness. My sleep last night was deep and restful (unusual for me). Being immersed in Aham’s incredible teachings over the weekend has provided me with a new level of contentment, serenity and balance. It was amazing to share this beautiful and profound experience with such an inspiring group of people. Thank you. 🙏
