TESTIMONIALS

“True healing and transformation takes guts. By the end of the week I've met my shadow self face-to-face and caught a glimpse of my soul's true destiny shining back at me…

Supporting every transition and encouraging me to find whatever greatness lies within, Trish has supreme grace and is more than just a healer, mentor and teacher. Wisdom and heart guide her classes as she forms sacred spaces where our emotions are given permission to be heard and seen."

~ Selda, Queen of Retreats

“This experience for me was a big catalyst for change, with so many positive repercussions…

It has been just four weeks since I first tried Kundalini yoga and I can honestly say, after just four days at the retreat, my approach to the world has been quite different since. All I wish is that I had a time-machine, so I could have done it sooner.”

~ Charlotte, Elle UK 

“Well what to say ...

The location is as well thought out as the programme. A beautiful colonial type house and beautiful rooms. The yoga studio next door and on a location by the river gave you the feeling of variation and calm. 

The course itself is not easy, but in a good way. Pushes all your buttons and you can feel your organs internally responding to it. Not least because of the incredible... and I do MEAN incredible menu of plant based meals we enjoyed. I’ve never tasted anything so good and did not feel hungry all week and I’m a junk food addict, so...

The classes are arranged in an order that push you and pull you and let you rest, all in one. Effortlessly crafted into a schedule that feels calm and not bossy or pushy. But instead create a safe routine where you are given time to think and feel on top of what you do in class. But she did think of everything to cushion you as you throw yourself around yourself. 

The sharing of how you felt let the bubbling under the surface pop up to the top and the well curated group of guests who all came alone (with one exception) blended in perfectly. 

There was no pressure however to mingle. Alone time and contemplation was understood by everyone If you just didn’t want to talk. 

Trish was open at all times and full of advice on reading, crystals, philosophies and films which stimulated a pile of recommendations from everyone to keep you busy. Making dinner conversation intelligent and not all about the yoga, which I found a highlight. 

And India. Well what can I say... it was the soundtrack, the backdrop, the host, the teacher, the medicine and the inspiration all in one. And more. 

For those who think self help is a little wimpy... think again. This is self-growth for the brave of mind and strong of heart. It’s a training course. A degree in the next layer of your mind to be admired and respected. I saw no self pity there. This was a group of leaders in their own way searching on how to improve and outsmart the tricks of everyday life. 

I cannot recommend this more highly. It’s a week of your life to plan years to come. It’s a little expedition to go inside and find what’s already there just a little stuck. It’s a boost. A break. A lesson. A test and a triumph. All in one. 

GO!”

“Embarking on my first kundalini yoga retreat my expectations were as high as i hoped to feel with a teacher like the incredible Trish Whelan in the stunning location that is the magical Xuclar Beach House, but man let me tell you that any expectation was exceeded way way above and beyond my imagination, my 10 bodies my crown chakra out into the infinite universe and amplified back again. I came in feeling ok, hoping to strengthen my practice & eat some nice food and have left today feeling like a queen ready to rock the world with some beautiful new friends all feeling the same. In the words of Florence, the dark days are over ... so completely over. 10 out of 10 Trish for your personal contribution into the happiness of this world and the people in it. These retreats really are for anyone & everyone as were our group this week and should be experienced at least once in your lifetime.” 

“I came on this journey with fear, apprehension, anxiety and a feeling of loss if identity, anguish, dread, confusion and a huge sense of loneliness. I have spent the last year trying to reconnect, but also trying to claw my old life back, lost between two worlds, not really feeling like I belonged entirely to either. 

On this retreat I felt my spirits lift immediately – I felt a familiarity of something I once felt before, a sense of knowing, of acceptance, and of belonging,  I was worried about doing the strong kriyas because of the energy in my spine, but I also knew that I had to trust the process, which I now know has led to an extraordinary release, incredible bliss and euphoria BUT without the crippling anxiety that it often subsided into last year. I am absolutely determined to keep vibrating at my highest frequency,  I know the kundalini experience will continue to test me, but I feel much better equipped to deal with it now, and am determined to get my sleeping back on track.

I feel able now to embrace the experience, accept the challenges ahead and move forward effortlessly and with NO FEAR.

I AM really looking forward to a bright future, and having all these amazing new friends in my life.  Thanks you for this most incredible experience.”

“I see now that the thing I’ve been doing these past few years of my life is to follow my souls calling to my truth. All the darkness, confusion, pain and suffering has been so worth it! To be here now! To have listened to my hearts longing for what is pure and good and kind and light. To have arrived in this place with you and these beautiful souls at this time, to peel back more layers and explore even more light. And after so much clenching, pushing, and contraction, to walk away with absolute clarity and calm for this moment and the future is the greatest GIFT I've ever been given

I receive it with a full heart. Thank you for your generosity in the gifting.”

I sat around a table with fantastic strangers, women I'd never met before but will certainly meet again and we shared the most delicious mind, body and soul food one can only imagine.

I connected - I connected with me.  Thanks you dear Trish, for helping  me. guiding me, taking me and showing me how to vibrate at my highest frequency - that I most certainly did"

“Sometimes the universe guides you to exactly what you need. Soul Adventures, Goa was exactly this. A much needed re-charge and rejuvenation of the mind, body, spirit and soul. Trish used her gentle wonder and incredible channel for kundalini practice to take an intimate group of willing like minded students on a journey unlike any other.

Seven days, seven chakras. Busting through the lingering city ego and resistance that can hold one back towards a sense of deep connection and well-being. A process of aligning oneself to a clearer sense of self. All with the backdrop of lush tropical garden, white sandy beach, the chorus of wildlife merging with the gong, the sound of the sea harmonising with the meditative practices. 

Complimenting the daily classes and workshop, a wonderful offering of alternative healing treatments, relaxing massages and delicious vegan cuisine.

Bliss seems an inadequate description but this is what springs to mind. The longtime sun shining upon us in a blissful magnificence. 

I will hold the magic inside forever.”

“If you can imagine a beautiful gold shiny gong bathed in sunslight then you can start to get a hint of this kundalini retreat experience.  Goa style!

Sometimes in life it feels like there is a bit missing – As soon as you open up to your first class – yoga – sunset – garlands – gongs – chants – heartbeats … something stirs within.

So simply it just all makes sense!

Every sense, taste, feel, sight, sound, touch especially becomes bombarded with bliss, complimented by Shaman ceremonies, Crystal Geezers, healing and massage. Heaven on earth! And amazing food to boot! Sunrise to sunset it feels like your soul is taken care of – thoughts disappear to breath and surrender and shine.

As the last day approaches I just know I will take this experience everywhere and when it ends there I will start."

"What a beautiful invitation this has turned out to be! It has gone way beyond any expectations I had.  I have never experienced anything like this, yet it has been the most natural thing.  I feel cushioned from the outside world and have been given the space to explore who I AM.

Learning about myself has been invaluable, I have gone through pain threshold and released pain in a way I didn’t know was possible!

The food by Aline worked so well with each daily chakra. Sitting together to listen to each others experiences. I loved the food and the company.

The treatments were perfectly in line with what I was feeling. Fabulous surroundings, the colours, the crystals, the beach.

I can’t finish this without saying Miss Trish – you know you are amazing and so thanks for making me amazing too! Your energy, smile, determination, music and wonder spirit and THE GONG…

I would never have done this without you."

“Thank you for a truly wonderful & beautiful retreat. I knew instinctively on that cold day in January at your London workshop that I had to move heaven and earth to join your retreat and book the last remaining space. Lucky me. I felt my heart and soul was being called to jump on board.

The feeling of excitement and anticipation of new experiences was so powerful, I’m so grateful that I could once again get the last available space on the retreat. It was meant to be. I felt the universe had presented me with another delicious door to step through. You have created a truly wonderful experience, I really do feel like I am vibrating at my highest frequency & that feeling is fabulous! I feel blessed to have been able to join this beautiful group of people and vibrate and co-create in such a gorgeous setting.

The house and grounds were beautiful, and just the right amount of space for everything to happen in comfort. The mix of people was perfect, all bouncing off one another, sharing experiences, idea’s, humour and having fun. I really felt like I was part of a new family by the end of the week.  

Superb treatments/therapy too, Judit’s massage therapy was mind blowing and I am still processing her feedback to me, and would like to see her again soon in London for session no 2. Gary the Crystal Geezer added another dimension to the house and yoga space with all those incredible crystals, and we take that energy away with us too, which is another dazzling twist.  You have such a special, loving and unique skill and gifts to share with us and for that I am truly thankful. You have guided us effortlessly through the week and created a really unique experience. I wish I was in Ibiza and then I could be on the mat with you every week.  

Love, Light and Universal magic.”
