About a month ago, I had the privilege and honour to attend a Mindfulness Meditation retreat organised by Akanista Mindfulness in Southern France. The retreat was taking place in an authentic Buddhist monastery, set in the midst of mountains surrounded by breathtaking views. The facility, whilst basic, was extremely comfortable and the hospitality of the volunteers at the monastery was extraordinary.

The hosts, Nitima and Karuna, are genuinely the nicest people I have the pleasure to meet. They will go out of their way to make sure you get the most out of your time at the retreat and will do whatever it takes to make your feel comfortable!

The retreat was a mix of mindfulness meditation, yoga, holistic therapy, workshops and more, and managed to strike a perfect balance between all the activities.

Overall, this retreat was a life changing experience for me personally! If I could, I'd give 10 out of 10 to Akanista Mindfulness for this amazing retreat, and would highly recommend it to everyone!
