“I can’t begin to say how grateful I am for you taking that big step of faith and welcoming our group and program. Your kindness, hospitality, and professionalism are over the top. This sacred space made all of us feel so welcome and like a home away from home. Your team is amazing, and I so appreciate all the care you gave to our special requests and the amazing healthy meals. This is now my favorite venue. Namaha, Namaha, Namaste.”
Judith Kravitz, Founder Transformational Breath

“…to engage in contemplative practices that include elements such as silence, slowness, stillness, solitude, and simplicity. That is what I find at the Great Mahakala Retreat House, and that's why I have chosen to teach there. The entire space welcomes me, invites me to slow down, caresses my heart in a loving way, and offers me protection to explore. Every time the retreat comes to an end and I have to leave, I leave with the desire that I could stay a little longer. And that is what motivates me to keep coming back…”

Piero Falci, Author of Mindfulness for a Better Mind, Life and World
