Prema Shanti is a wonderful place to relax, rejuvenate and work on developing your awareness (spirituality) through daily meditation and yoga. The atmosphere is one of pure relaxation where you can go and forget about the rush of city life and let the days blur into each other with no cares or worries. Although you do follow a certain routine (meditation, meals and yoga at set times every day) this is a routine that quickly feels very natural and easy and helps the body to relax. There is no sense of pressure or stress, and there is also ample time throughout the day to go and explore the rest of the rainforest, the gorgeous beaches, or the Great Barrier Reef. The retreat is on the small side in terms of how many people it can accommodate at once, so you will always have your own space if that is what is needed. However the environment is such that everyone you meet is loving, caring and kind, most of all the two lovely owners Mara and Janardhan who will make you feel very welcome and looked after ?? I highly recommend a visit to this beautiful place, and if you go you won’t want to leave so make sure you stay at least 5-7 days to make the most of the opportunity.
