Reviews

“Nirarta is a great place – the peace, nature, and sensitive staff – to come for a retreat and have a little bit of structure, while taking maximum responsibility for yourself.”
– R M, New Zealand, 2008

“I arrived at Nirarta tired and wanting to make changes in my life. At Nirarta I learned about paths to self-awareness and I immediately knew a whole new world was opening up for me. I will be forever grateful to Peter for his insight, his patience and his willingness to share with me.”
– Susan Goodwin, USA, 2010
