A new 7 day retreat starts every Sunday and ends every Saturday.
자아의 마음을 위한 탈출 불가능한 조건 만들기
The 7-day online retreat is designed to meet you at any stage of the spiritual journey… from the first flicker of longing to the post-awakening path of integration. A new 7-day retreat cycle begins every Sunday (at 1PM EST/EDT or New York/Toronto time) and ends every Friday, allowing you to begin at any time and synchronize with our global sangha, joining 4 hours of daily meditation, evening self inquiry dyads, and a live Q&A checkin with Dan every Tuesday. Alternatively, if you want to do the retreat on your own without the live components, simply follow the schedule page any time. For those in other time zones, the schedule page has a time zone selector, allowing you to shift the entire retreat schedule to your local time.
The online “I AM” retreat is not just another course or retreat- it is deep sadhana. Sadhana is the wayless way that leads from the illusion of becoming to the simplicity of Being. At the beginning of the retreat there is an invitation to engage with the techniques offered if you are drawn to them. Before awakening, sadhana may look like practice, effort, and discipline. But each practice is a stepping stone, like a “thorn to remove a thorn”, and we eventually let go of all doing, letting go of the doer of sadhana, as we move deeper into stillness and eventually to 그냥 존재하는 것.
깨달음을 얻은 후에는 사다나(수행)가 다르게 느껴지는데, 그것은 행위자 없는 사다나가 됩니다. 수행 초기에 하는 수행은 깨달음을 위한 조건을 만들기 위해 마음을 맑게 하는 데 도움이 됩니다. 그러나 깨달음은 끝이 아니라 새로운 형태의 사다나의 시작입니다. 자신을 알게 되면, 자신으로서 존재하며, 아직 작용하고 있는 무의식의 경향과 패턴(바사나와 삼스카라)을 알아차리고, 존재의 불꽃으로 그것들을 태워 없애는 것입니다.
Samadhi 센터에서는 진정한 깨달음을 위한 가장 강력한 조건을 어떻게 조성할지 수년간 탐구해 왔습니다. ‘IAM 리트리트’는 이러한 탐구의 결실로서, ‘길 없는 길’로 부름받은 이들을 위해 매주 쉬지 않고 진행되는 7일간의 몰입형 온라인 체험입니다. 이 리트리트는 자아적 마음이 숨을 곳을 찾을 수 없는 내적·외적 조건을 조성하도록 설계되었습니다. 이 공간의 고요함 속에서, 분리된 자아에 대한 환상은 부드럽게, 때로는 과감하게 해체됩니다. IAM 리트리트는 과감한 놓음을 권유하며, 미지의 세계에 머물 의지를 불러일으킵니다.
선(禪)의 격언처럼:
“깨달음은 우연히 찾아오지만, 사다나(수행)는 당신을 사고를 잘 당하는”
Daniel Schmidt and the ATW team have created a sacred container for this inner work… a living field of presence where the flame of awakening is tended with care. Each week, the IAM retreat unfolds with a rhythm designed to support the sincere seeker: pre-recorded teachings distilled from years of retreats, video transmissions carrying the essence of the path, self inquiry which you will do in dyads (with partners paired using the new “I AM” app at selfinquirydyads.com), and a live weekly Q&A, where Daniel meets participants in real-time inquiry.
Meet Daniel Schmidt and the ATW team
“I AM” 수련회는 지식을 습득하는 것이 아니라, 전수를 위한 것입니다… 함께 명확히 바라보는 것에 관한 것이죠. 가장 강력한 지침들은 여러분이 여정의 어느 단계에 있든—막 시작했든, 이미 깊이 빠져들었든—여러분의 현재 위치에 맞춰 세심하게 선별되었습니다. 일정 페이지에는 85개 이상의 동영상 녹화본이 수록되어 있습니다. 여러분의 기억이 깊어짐에 따라, 내면의 에너지… 프라나, 기, 쿤달리니, 어떤 이름으로 부르든 간에, 더 이상 동일시라는 업의 매듭에 얽매이지 않고 자유롭게 흐르기 시작합니다. 내면의 연꽃은 양분을 얻어 꽃을 피울 수 있게 됩니다. 한때는 지나가는 상태로만 여겨졌던 Samadhi는 이제 영원한 전개로서 뿌리를 내리기 시작합니다. 이는 단순한 상태가 아니라, 여러분의 참된 본성과 분리될 수 없는, 언제나 존재하는 환희의 차원(일부 전통에서는 사치타난다라고 부름)입니다.
7일 온라인 ”나는” 명상
진정한 변화의 공간으로 들어가기 위해 IAM 리트리트는 7일간 지속적인 내면 수련에 전폭적으로 참여하려는 마음을 요구합니다.
이것은 가벼운 제안이 아닙니다. 이것은 당신의 모든 것을 요구하는 성스러운 그릇이며, 그래야 거짓인 모든 것이 떨어져 나갈 수 있습니다.
일주일 동안, 여러분은 산만함을 내려놓고, 하나의 목표에 집중하여 에너지를 쏟을 것을 초대합니다. 이 수련회의 구조는 깨달음이 일어나기 가장 비옥한 땅을 만들기 위해 정밀하게 설계되었습니다. 그 틀에 완전히 자신을 맡길 때, 그것은 거울이자, 용광로이자, 문이 될 것입니다.
Awakening is not a hobby. It’s not something to pencil into your calendar between your green smoothie and your evening Netflix. If the longing is real, it burns. Not like a mild curiosity, but like your very being is in flames. It is the longing that consumes the seeker… not something to add to a spiritual résumé.
For those who have already experienced kensho, a glimpse beyond the veil, or tasted the divine union of Samadhi, this retreat offers the opportunity to stabilize in pure “I AM-ness.” Here, the deeper work begins; re… cognizing and purifying the samskaras, the latent impressions and patterns that still move in the unconscious. It is in the light of sustained presence that these old patterns are seen, met, and released. This is the grace of Sadhana… the same conditions that bring about awakening are also a sanctuary for its deepening.
The perennial wisdom of the ages whispers one essential truth: “Die before you die.” This of course is not about physical death, but the death of the false self and the unraveling of everything you think you are. It is about interrupting the pattern of you and the habitual momentum of the egoic mind, and entering the mystery of not knowing. A pure, childlike openness. A “don’t know mind.”
이 각성 과정의 자연스러운 부분은 삼카라의 풀림입니다. 삼카라는 에너지 매듭처럼 작용하여 인식을 분리의 환상에 묶는 깊은 조건화된 패턴입니다. 이러한 매듭은 종종 억압된 감정, 처리되지 않은 트라우마, 몸과 마음에 저장된 불완전한 경험과 얽혀 있습니다. 수련회 동안 산만함이 사라지면 이러한 인상은 평정심으로 마주하고 명확하게 보며 존재의 빛 속으로 방출되기 위해 자연스럽게 표면으로 떠오르기 시작합니다.
이것은 특별한 경험을 쫓는 것이 아니며, 균형 잡힌 방식으로 자신의 안락 영역을 벗어나는 것을 포함할 것입니다. 압도당할 정도로 안락 영역에서 너무 멀리 벗어나는 것은 아닙니다. 이것이 바로 중간 길입니다. 진정한 변화는 우리가 자아의 선호, 편안함에 대한 중독, 불편함 회피를 넘어서, 저항 없이 떠오르는 모든 것을 알아차림 속에 받아들이도록 요구합니다.
IAM 리트릿에서 제공되는 지침과 수행은 목표를 달성하기 위한 기법이 아닙니다. 조건화된 마음의 행위를 더 많이 추가하기 위한 것이 아닙니다. 오히려 그것들은 계시의 도구이며, 마치 껍질을 벗기듯 환상을 걷어내어 남는 것이 본래 태어나지도 않고 결코 죽지도 않는 근원적 알아차림, 즉 형상 없는 존재의 근간이 되도록 돕는 도구입니다.
“머리카락에 불이 붙은 사람이 물웅덩이를 찾아 뛰어드는 것처럼 깨달음을 구해야 한다.”

에너제틱 교환
고대 전통의 정신으로, 우리는 이 법을 모두에게 제공하며 돈이 문제가 되지 않도록 할 것입니다. 동시에, 사람들이 무언가를 교환으로 제공할 때 에너지 투자와 더 깊은 참여 경향이 있음을 발견했습니다. 사람들이 공짜로 무언가를 얻으면 그것의 가치를 덜 인식하는 경향이 있습니다. 따라서 이러한 이유로, 그리고 ATW 이니셔티브가 이러한 자료들을 유지하고 확산시키며, 26개 이상의 언어로 무료로 제공되는 새로운 영화를 제작하는 데 많은 비용이 든다는 사실 때문에, 기부를 하도록 권장합니다.
A) 권장 기부금: $250.00
B) 선행 실천 (다른 사람의 수련회 비용 대납): $500.00
C) 재정적 어려움: $100.00
D) Extreme Financial Difficulty: whatever you can afford
E) 전액 장학금 (자세한 내용은 신청서를 참조하십시오)
시간표의 일부 항목은 다음과 같습니다:
- 지속적인 문의 일곱 동안 우리는 하루 동안 무엇을 하든 끊임없이, 쉬지 않고 수행에 들어갑니다. 명상 시간 사이에도, 휴식을 취하거나 점심을 먹는 동안에도 자신의 진정한 본성을 직접 경험하려는 의도가 있습니다.
- Noble Silence: The container of silence is a time tested way to orient towards the inner worlds and to avoid activating the conditioned thinking mind.
- Group Process: There is much value in sharing and learning what others are experiencing on the path, and every Tuesday you will be able to receive clarification and guidance (a live Q&A session with Dan). Also many Q&A sessions from previous retreats will are available in a playlist.
- Meditation: Meditation is the foundational practice for realizing your true nature. Meditation and self inquiry are eventually realized to be a singular process of stripping away of illusion. In the schedule there are 4 hours of silent meditation every day where you will join the daily group for silent meditation via zoom.
- Self inquiry Dyads: Participants alternate roles in dyads (groups of two), where one person is a witness and the other engages in deep inner investigation to realize their true nature. We will be using the web app at www.selfinquirydyads.com Open the I AM app.
- 호흡 운동 호흡을 의식적으로 사용하여 깊은 삼스카라를 풀어냅니다.

Language captions in all videos
유튜브 자동 번역 저희는 녹화된 영상들을 점차 여러 언어로 번역하고 있습니다. 하지만 영상의 수가 많기 때문에, 여전히 많은 영상들이 유튜브에서 자동으로 생성된 영어 자막을 표시하고 있으며, 대체 자막이 없는 상태입니다. 다음 단계를 따라 자동으로 번역할 수 있습니다.
1. 자막 켜기 (가능한 경우)
Look for the CC icon. Locate the “CC” button on the video player (usually at the bottom) and click on it to turn on subtitles.
Check if they are in English. If the subtitles are already in English, or if English is the original language of the video, you’re all set. (This is the case for most ATW films and teachings.)
2. 자동 번역 설정에 접근합니다.
Click on the settings icon. Look for the gear icon next to the “CC” button.

중요한 고려사항:
자동 생성 자막: YouTube는 자동 음성 인식을 사용하여 자막을 생성합니다. 이로 인해 때때로 부정확할 수 있으므로 번역 또한 오류를 포함할 수 있습니다.
동영상에 자막이 있어야 합니다. 자막이 없거나 영어로 된 자막이 아닌 동영상에서는 자동 번역 기능을 사용할 수 없습니다.
• 다시보기 (녹화): Q&A 세션이 끝난 후, 참가자들에게 유튜브 재생 목록을 통해 녹화본을 제공합니다.

중요 고려 사항
Important considerations: although meditation and self inquiry are of great benefit for most people, they can bring up trauma from the past and are not a substitute for medical or psychiatric treatment. If you have unresolved trauma, depression, anxiety or loss (a significant death, job, home, income…), if you have been diagnosed with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, borderline or narcissistic personality disorder or similar diagnoses, or if you are on antipsychotic, neuroleptic or psychotropic drugs, we generally do not have the capability to support you at this online retreat. In general the psyche should be relatively healthy and stable before engaging in this form of deep sadhana.
The heart of this offering is to support the unfolding of what is already whole within each of us. At the same time, in the world of appearances, in the realm of form, we are also caretakers of the container in which this work unfolds. It’s not about labeling anyone as “unfit” or “less than.” It’s about ensuring that the conditions are supportive, not destabilizing, for those who step into such a deep inward process. Samadhi itself is not discriminatory in the slightest. But certain mental states, especially when extreme or not yet integrated, can make it difficult to remain present with what arises in retreat. It’s not a judgment; it’s simply a practical, compassionate consideration for all involved. If you are unsure whether the retreat is right for you, please contact us at contact@samadhi.ca and we will help point you towards the next steps on your journey.

Life-changing online sadhna Attended an incredible 3-day intense sadhna session online with Dan and the team. The experience was profoundly transformative and truly life-changing. Every aspect of the session was well-organized, and the guidance provided left a deep impact on me. Highly recommended for anyone seeking personal transformation!

Incredibly valuable work for humanity 💙 I had a meaningful experience at an online self-inquiry dyad retreat, can wholeheartedly recommend the center, as well as the people running it.
Nigel Robertson23 September 2026Quite astonishing.
Fadwa A22 September 2026This place is truly a gem. It’s such a welcoming environment, with an authentic teacher who offers real, effective guidance and practical pointers. No fuss, no fakeness, and no overselling -they’re genuinely here for you. Their generosity and authenticity are truly inspiring. Bless you, Dan, and bless everything you’re doing.
Dixie22 September 2026The Samadhi Center is a rare and precious gift for anyone who has been walking a spiritual path. The retreats are so well organized, there is tons of time devoted to direct practice and you get all your questions answered by the teacher, face to face. There is a devoted and capable support staff. The technology always works properly. And most of all, Dan is an amazing teacher with so much of his own direct experience as well as a deep and broad knowledge and practical understanding of the teachings from so many traditions. He draws on all of this as he teaches. It is just a blessing. For me, this place is an answer to prayer. They truly are engaged in the mission of awakening the world. I feel blessed to get to be a part of it.
Lorraine Garvie22 September 2026What an absolutely wonderful service to the world. I attended a 3-day DYAD retreat, and the combination of care, structure, and openness creates a wonderful, safe container for shadow work, self-exploration, and awakening. I cannot recommend the Samadhi Centre enough. Their offerings, communications, generosity and overflow of love are evident. Thank you, Dan, Lilla and the crew.

아미트 K2025년 1월 24일**A Life-Changing Experience with Dan at the 7 Days Online I AM Retreat – Samadhi Centre** I have participated in the 7 Days Online I AM Retreat with Dan from Samadhi Centre twice now, and both experiences have been nothing short of transformative. The depth and clarity I gained through this retreat far exceeded any expectation I had going into it. Before discovering this retreat, I had already experienced some profound moments of awakening in Vipassana. However, something was missing. In Vipassana, I had glimpses of the truth, but there was no one there to guide me fully through what I was experiencing. It felt like I was on the edge of a deeper understanding, but couldn’t quite break through on my own. That’s when Dan came into my life. Dan’s guidance during the I AM retreat was exactly what I needed. His teachings are grounded, gentle, yet deeply powerful. They helped me dissolve layers of conditioning that I had carried for years. Through his clear direction and presence, I was able to truly free myself from the constant chatter of the mind—something I’d struggled with for so long. The first time I took part in the retreat, I felt as if a veil lifted. I could finally see through the illusion of separation and grasp the truth of who I really am. The second time, it felt like a deeper integration of that truth into my life. It was a complete shift in my perception. I’ve experienced an inner peace that I didn’t know was possible, and with it, a profound sense of freedom. What really sets this retreat apart is Dan's ability to create a safe space for self-inquiry and awakening. His presence is like a mirror that reflects back your highest potential, guiding you back to your true self. The tools and practices he offers are simple yet incredibly effective in quieting the mind and accessing the stillness within. I can honestly say that this retreat has been the most profound spiritual experience I’ve ever had. If you’re seeking true liberation and a deep understanding of who you really are, I wholeheartedly recommend the 7 Days Online I AM Retreat with Dan. This isn’t just another course or meditation retreat—it’s an invitation to awaken to the truth of your being and experience lasting freedom. Thank you, Dan, for sharing your wisdom and creating such a powerful space for transformation. It has truly changed my life.
코스믹 프리퀀시 비트 테라피2025년 1월 22일I am deeply moved by how lovingly, presently, and purely Dan and Lilla lead The Samadhi Center. The 'IAM' retreat was really intense and tough at times, and even though the time difference was seven-hours ahead, I had such strong guidance that this is the real thing, so I was involved in everything live from start to finish. The whole week was perfectly structured. The lessons/sessions were clear and presented calmly enough that I could absorb them (even when I was really tired) even though English is not my native language. As the retreat progressed, some purging and releasing took place and I gained clarity & understanding about several big questions that had been bothering me for years about mind, life, awakening, pain and so on. Many harmful thought patterns and beliefs also came to light. I have journeying for a long time in great suffering completely lost through conflicting teachings and felt so lonely so this retreat was like an oasis because I saw, felt, and heard others' experiences of hardship and pain, I felt that I was not alone and that I was heard and seen. Dan & Lilla and the entire beautiful TSC team, you make this world a much better place for all of us! I am forever grateful to have had the opportunity to be part of this life-changing retreat. Deep thanks also for the Samadhi films, teachings, live meditation sessions, sound journeys, etc. that you share on your website, YouTube, etc. for free. Your genuine and pure way of being and helping is something so beautiful that there are no words for it. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Sami Kiiveri
수전 T2025년 1월 7일I attended the 7-day online retreat, which was truly tranformational. The world must awaken if there's any hope to be free from the suffering that seems to be worsening everywhere. This retreat is how to be truly liberated from all that can never truly give us peace and happiness. If only everyone would do this retreat!
줄리 로윈2025년 1월 7일The on-line IAM retreat at the Samadhi Center was the single most powerful and transformative experience of my life. Dan's direct pointing, the self-inquiry and the prolonged sitting left no escape for the egoic mind. I had a profound awakening to my true self and my conditioned self was revealed to me. My seeking is over, and I have found my path. This retreat is not to add more to yourself or to fix anything. This is the retreat to do when you are ready to wake up from the story you thought you were to the real truth of who you are.
르네 밀스 코치2025년 1월 6일Testimonial for the Samadhi Center – Dave Schmidt and Team My journey with the Samadhi Center and the 7-Day Awakening Retreat has been one of the most profound experiences of my life. Guided by the compassionate and insightful facilitation of Dave Schmidt and his incredible team, this retreat offered me the tools and space to deepen my understanding of self and awaken to the presence that lies beyond the mind. From the very first day, I encountered a powerful moment that set the tone for my retreat. When my initial dyad partner did not join, Lila stepped in, offering the imperative: "Tell me who you are." Though I don’t recall the exact words exchanged, I vividly remember the profound awareness that arose within me. It was a direct experience of knowing—a presence that is always there, beyond the limitations of body and thought. This single dyad opened a doorway into a deeper understanding of being. The profound simplicity and clarity of that experience lingered throughout the retreat. Lila’s guidance and question at the end, asking if I had done dyads before, reinforced my inner connection to this timeless truth. While I didn’t speak with her again during the retreat, her impact stayed with me, a persistent reminder of the depth and beauty of this work. Dave’s teachings were equally transformative. His presence and words pointed directly to the heart of awakening, guiding us not toward intellectual concepts but into direct experience. Each teaching and practice deepened my sense of freedom from conditioned responses, especially the insights into how the body and mind react to triggers. I left with a greater ability to rest in awareness, free from identification with fleeting emotions and thoughts. To Dave, Lila, and the entire Samadhi Center team: thank you for your tireless dedication, compassionate guidance, and unwavering commitment to awakening the world. This retreat was more than a practice—it was a sacred homecoming to the truth of who I am. Your work is a gift to all who seek clarity, freedom, and connection to the essence of being. With deepest gratitude, Namaste. Renee
이르마 아리아스2025년 1월 6일내가 진정한 자아에 대해 알 필요가 있었던 모든 것, 그리고 그 생각 속으로 계속 깊이 파고드는 것. 깨닫기 위해 깨어 있고, 깨어 있어야 할 필요성을 깨닫는 것.
파르바네 알리푸르 알마자반2025년 1월 6일Dear Dan, You are one of the greatest spiritual teachers of our time and I feel grateful to found you. Participating in your online retreat was game-changer for me. Your bold and direct guidance has been a beacon of light in my spiritual journey, and illuminating the pathless path which put end to my seeking . Your unwavering clarity and compassion have changed my life and many. You cut straightforward through the noise and guided me home, to my true self, where i belong. Your guidance is the testament of wisdom and unity. I am grateful for your wisdom and guidance, thank you.
유일한2025년 1월 4일Amazing beautiful retreat. A true one. Depth silence and heart. Great team and organization. ❤️
샤힌 람찬드 “샤힌 R”2025년 1월 4일Wow just wow. Joined the online retreat "I Am" with the purpose of getting the spiritual fire back and to get the body back to its meditation grinds. No other expectation and was lost for words throughout the 7 days. If you think that spirituality means going somewhere, or something that you need to do or go sit in the Himalayas or whatever this retreat will be an eye opener to what The True Spiritual Path really is. I would recommend everyone to atleast once in your lifetime experience this. You will get that guidance and support you need.
야나 노먼2025년 1월 4일길 위의 선물… 가장 진정성 있는 자기 탐구 가르침과 수련이 이루어지는 삶을 변화시키는 곳. 우리 세대를 위한 선물인 사마디 팀은 인류의 의식을 높이고 있습니다.
파멜라 스키파노2025년 1월 3일우리의 참본성을 경험할 준비가 된 분들에게 절대적으로 놀라운 리트릿 센터입니다. 소유자 다니엘 슈미트는 우리 모두를 집(본래의 자리)으로 인도하기 위해 연민과 결단력으로 가득 찬 최고의 영적 스승입니다! 그와 그의 팀과 이 공간을 함께 나누게 되어 정말 영광입니다! 강력 추천합니다!
존 서머빌2025년 1월 3일I attended a Wonderful Online retreat, for 7 days. The schedule was full with a variety of teachings, meditations, sharings, Small group meditative activities [dyads] and a Warm and Welcoming Host and group of facilitators. Individual assistance came forward during small group[dyad] meetings and the faces of the attendees were All Warm and Bright by the end of the retreat. Several folks shared about 'experiences' related to and including Awakening, Enlightenment and I think Everyone there Progressed in Samadhi over the week.. Highly recommend this centre and staff!
이네스 프로센크2024년 6월 21일I've found myself here Both I AM retreats have left me speechless and in deep gratitude. I simply can't find right words that could describe how transformative these retreats are. On my spiritual journey I found myself dying of thirst for deeper knowledge and understanding. Wherever I went I remained thirsty, not many things really resonated with me. I was deeply sceptical about the online version of this retreat, but I decided to give it a chance. It turned out to be a life changing experience. From the first moment on I felt that this finally resonates with me and I was absorbing every drop of this nectar like someone dying from thirst. Going through such retreat with loving guidance of this entire team is something you can only wish for. Dan's way of sharing wisdom and knowledge is breathtaking. Love and dedication of ATW team moved me deeply and my gratitude goes beyond what words can say. So I guess I'll rather just remain silent from here on and shed another tear of gratitude. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. To Dan, ATW team and all the participants of this reatreat.
킴미 싱2024년 6월 18일겸손해지고 인생이 바뀌는 경험 I had the honor of experiencing a 7-day meditation retreat with Dan, Lilla, Tayama and the team at ATW and it was a life changing experience. Unlike other retreats and workshops, where the enquiring mind is engaged to "learn" new concepts, Dan, allowed his "I AM" presence to permeate the "I AM" presence of the participants to make this experience transcendental with an inherent inner "knowing"/"remembering" of who we truly are coming into the fore. It anchored the Divinity within us and allowed us to experience ourselves in the BEING, instead of the doing. I am ever so grateful to Dan - his inner wisdom effortlessly talks to the layman, allowing the understanding to permeate the subconscious and awaken an inner awareness that has always been there, albeit it was latent. Dan and his team are truly a blessing to humanity and I am ever so humbled and grateful to have received this infinite blessing.
O V2024년 6월 15일I AM 삼디 온라인 리트릿 It is the best ever retreat I've had in my life. It is life, counsiouss, and life trajectory changing just in 7 days. A group of caring, supportive, loving, compassionate, and patient people say that they don't change the lives' of others, but they do! They help awaken our true nature and get our memories back to who we truly are. It is not easy to follow all of the directions, practices, and schedule of a week retreat. Yet, the program is so intense with a lot of material, teachings, practices, sound journeys, and sleeping circles sleeping yoga (nidra). This intensity and amazing, and it is a reason for this strain: through the physical body tiredness the mind patterns' breakthrough and miracle happen. You are not alone at this journey. You are in the team of the others who pass through the same stages and confusion, and you are loved and supported. There wasn't a single situation or person that couldn't get attention of this beautiful facility team. For me this week was like to wake up from a bad dream - from painful, struggling, and desperate life to bright, bold & happy one! My mind was strong when I met Dan and this Samadhi Center. However, my true nature is stronger! :-) I am powerful, loving, immortal essense who doesn't have to do anything what the society, family, friends, and heredity has forced me to feel like I have to. No goals are truly needed because no work or job is requested anymore :-) I feel so happy, so free from anything!!! It is just the beginning though. The more fruitful life is ahead with the guidelines received at this reateats (this is my 2nd and beautiful retreat). I have to mention the financial opportunity with great compassion and affordable price of this retreat. I saw so many different big promisiong and pricy reateat, however it is impossible for me to afford no matter what the promises are. Thes center doesn't promice anything. It is inviting people to see, feel, and to do what they want for their own sake for very affordable price. It is important, because there are more people who cannot afford any expensive spiritual studies, but want that shift and opportunities. The Samadhi center people chnage a little, but they do soooo much and spend soooo many resources (time, energy, love) that it worth muuuuch more, believe me. Thank you sooo much for very important work, folks! I love you so much and I look forward to see you in all further retreats and to communicate in community, because you are my family! Many awaken people know that there aren't many around with whom you can share your true nature. This community and collective sphere is so bright and powerful! Love you with all my heart. Who is in knowledge of that feeling of Love? It is pure, empty, but at the same time the live, moving, and counsciousness awareness in the stillness that is connected to eberything including every wire of this collectove! Heart, Love, and sooo much Gratitude!!!
노아 프리드마크2024년 6월 15일멋진 통찰력이에요! Dan is one of the most awake persons I know of. His presence and skill in guiding and conveying awareness is amazing. He has been an enormous support on my own journey. Being in his awareness helps my own awareness grow in a fantastic way. The team gathered around him is awesome and the quality of their collective work is just extraordinary. Such an amazing high level on all of it. It truly helps me and my fellow participants to awaken.
타티아나 파스토르2024년 6월 15일정말 감사합니다! Dear Dan, Lilla, Tayama, all the facilitators, the entire team at Samadhi Center, and all the participants, I want to express my deepest gratitude for bringing this retreat to life. Your presence was truly inspirational, and the welcoming atmosphere you cultivated, coupled with your continuous support and availability, made this experience extraordinary. Our time together went beyond words, and its impact is still tangible. Thank you all - it was truly an incredible experience!"
조셉 M2024년 6월 15일내 깊은 감사를 다 표현할 길이 없습니다. What Dan offers is a taste of the Himalayas, right in the comfort of your own living room. Through his effortless teachings, Dan brings you to the heart of a distant ashram, into the eyes of an ancient sage, bringing ageless teachings to life, while squashing the ego's misinterpretations, self-centered fantasies, and misguided ambitions. I wish I encountered Dan 10 years ago, when I started walking the wrong direction on my 'spiritual' path. Dan is a modern grounding in that which is timeless. He is a forthright teacher, intensely generous, without ulterior motives. The more time anyone is blessed to spend with Dan, the closer you will get to your goals, which of course, is a peaceful and purposeful connection to the present, an awakening to the world, of our shared awareness. Deep thanks and blessings, to everyone at the Samadhi Center. No words can do justice to the depth of my gratitude.
UJ 람다스2024년 2월 15일If you're serious about inner work, the Samadhi Center can change your life. I've been meditating since before I was a teen and have been to a bunch of ashrams and meditation retreats. And yet, I've done some of the best spiritual work of my life at the retreats here. Here's the thing: this place isn't for the merely curious. It's for the truly sincere seeker. I've known Dan (the founder) for over ten years and I feel very thankful to call him a friend. I've done multiple retreats here and the major thing that that's different here? They really care. And that shows up in all the details: the structure of the retreats, the way Dan screens folks that wouldn't be a good fit, the reasonable pricing and the scholarships and frequent Q&A's with the participants. I'm deeply thankful this place exists. I'd be a different person if it didn't. It’s a real gift to the world.
매튜 스타키2024년 1월 28일Words will never be able to describe the mystical experience I had while in retreat at the Samadhi Center. I will try my best to capture this magic in a bottle… From the sacred grounds within an old growth forest to the most professional staff, my life will be forever changed. I basked for 9 days in pure presence and discovered Truth. It was here that I lost everything and was completely unborn into a limitless being of pure awareness. My world was absolutely shattered and I was left knowing nothing at all except a direct experience of my True Self. A feeling of absolute bliss.
미치 모스2023년 12월 10일2023년 11월 사마디 센터에서 열린 IAM 수련회 동안, 저는 10년 동안 개념적으로만 배워왔던 것을 직접 체험했습니다. 저에게 이 센터는 모든 것을 내려놓기에 완벽한 장소가 되었습니다. 이 9일간의 여정을 말로는 다 표현할 수 없습니다. 단언컨대 가장 완벽한 방식으로 제 삶을 변화시켰으며, 마음이 이끌린다면 이보다 더 강력하게 추천할 수 없을 것입니다 🙏🏻💚
마르탱 펠티에2023년 12월 9일There's is no words that can describe how grateful I am to have visited this meditation center. Dan and Lila are amazing human beings as well as all the staff. this experience has forever change my life. If you are looking to alter the direction of your life in a positive way, this is the place to go.
kmegahey2023년 12월 5일My adventure into my inner being, after watching the series of films and interviews with Dan, led me to the Samadhi Centre. So much of the depictions and words rang true and I felt this to be a natural step forward on my spiritual journey. I wasn’t disappointed, the immediate handing over of all digital devices and the adoption of silence for the next nine days was challenging to say the least. The daily schedule of five hours meditation beginning at 5.30am was daunting, the vigorous self-enquiry Dyads thrust you relentlessly into self introspection, all carefully guided and choreographed by Dan and Lilla. My initial micro-dosing of Iboga didn’t appear to have the desired affect, but on day three while lying in my cosy little cabin, it revealed itself to me in waves of effortless clarity. The Dyads became more illuminating as I was able to delve deeper into the ‘self’ and move ever closer to my true nature. The frequent transition from one person to another meant we got to know each others’ most intimate inner details, at the same time we helped each other, on our journey on the ’pathless path’. There was no escape. Timely interventions from Dan and Lilla continued until finally awakening revealed itself. Change was immediate and there would be no going back. This was all interspersed with Gong/sound bathes, daily group discussions on how each one was progressing, hindrances to progress, how one could overcome obstacles and again insightful sound bites of wisdom from both Dan and Lilla were always welcome and helpful. Of course, I must also mention the daily, delicious food served to us and consumed in silence, by Andrew and Liz. It didn’t end there. On day five Chad joined the group, to led us through what was loosely called ‘breath work’. It comprised of a three part breath of inhalation, followed by a strong exhalation, lasting approximately one hour without interruption. During which time, there was a slow gradual build up of energy throughout the entire body until suddenly and without warning, I felt transported into a place of stillness, silence and serenity. Without going into too much detail I’ll just say, a place where Love was in abundance. It didn’t end there. The following day Chad introduced us to the option of experiencing, different amounts 5meo or not at all, it was a personal choice. I chose the middle path and decided to deepen even further this spiritual path which I had knowingly undertaken. Again, without going into too much detail I will simply say that it was/is the most enriching, life changing, mind altering, experience of my life and for which, I will be eternally grateful to Dan, Lilla and Chad.
다니엘 화이트2023년 11월 22일The Samadhi Center's IAM retreat is spectacular from start to finish. This place has all the elements required for Awakening. I loved all the unique and creative aspects the course exhibited from day to day. There is nothing else quite like this anywhere in the world. The Zendo is of the highest quality, as they spared at no expense. I am especially greatful for the compassionate support I was provided with during my trip. If you're looking for a game changing meditation course that will help you break free from the Matrix, this is it.
타야마 맥웨이드2023년 11월 21일This place is the ordinary to extraordinary there is no retreat on the Earth that holds a container as tightly as Lilla and Dan. The team was absolutely amazing in every way. It literally was the answer to every riddle I could never find the answer too and it changed my life in ways that words could never describe. If you are called to the Samadhi Center all you thought you knew wont help you it is best to drop all you know, so that the not knowing mind can show up on the first day. Plus Lilla and Dan and their team give a whole new meaning to All is welcome :) No one left behind. Come and find out don't take my word for it. Experience the direct experience for yourself and then start living the aliveness that comes from within where it has always been. Sign up for the online retreat and set aside the 7 days that will be all you ever need to open yourself to the truth and the searching will be over. Love Tayama
바브나 카스투리아2023년 11월 10일The 3 days at the self inquiry retreat have been deeply transformative. There was no doing it seems from my part but the Dyad process is able to go deep into the subconscious mind and cleanse it. What remains, which is the simplicity of being, that shines through and is felt. I have never felt this before, just to be! For those who wish to go deeper beyond practices, words, books and oneself, this is it!
William Heilmann8 November 2023Just wonderful! Come with an open mind and an open heart. The staff are so loving and so kind beings. If you're ready to begin to know who you really are, I highly recommend Dan and his wonderful support team. With much love and respect. Bill 🙏❤️
Samuel RODRIGUEZ-PEREZ1 November 2023I will just say that being in the center will open your soul, it is pure magic once you surround yourself with people so dedicated to truth and awakening. I can only be thankful that this place exists somewhere in this world.
Rahul Thukral12 October 2023Best ever
Jon Stevens12 October 2023I did the zen-inspired self enquiry retreat led by Daniel using the dyad method. It was one of the hardest but also most rewarding weekends of my life. If you are on a spiritual path and want to wake up from your ego/personality and connect to your true self, I highly recommend this retreat.
Sheila Goodfellow11 October 2023I have participated in each of the retreats the Samadhi Center offers. Each one has been a gift. I have tried to write a review several times but the challenge has been to find words to describe my experience with the Samadhi Center. The short review would be- if you’re looking for a retreat center to do dedicated work, go. The longer review- the whole team at the Center cares. Truly cares. They meet you where you are and are happy to be part of your journey. The skillful guidance I have received has, in short, been life changing. The physical Center and the land it rests on are beautiful. The forest is delightful to explore. The night sky is stunning. The delicious food is lovingly prepared and nourishes deeply. The cabins are cozy and comfortable. Having day to day tasks of cooking and cleaning taken care of by a group of people who are called to be of service is truly special. How fortunate to not worry about those tasks and focus solely on the practice. The extra options available (depending on the retreat you’re on there are sound journeys, yoga, breathwork, cacao ceremonies etc) are also wonderful. Participating in any of these extras while in the midst of a silent retreat is quite different than participating at home. The experience is so much brighter and alive. I am grateful for Dan, Lilla, Jenn, Jerome, John and the Land ❤️
Laurie Arron11 October 2023I have diligently practised mindfulness and meditation for over 20 years and was introduced to Dan when I attended a 10-day retreat in 2019. His dedication to "awakening the world," his depth of knowledge and practice, and his kindness and humility are inspiring. I have now done 3 retreats at Samadhi Center and regularly attend Dan's monthly online meditation and Q&A. He has helped me a lot over these 4 years and I trust him completely. Also a shout out to Lilla and the other folks at the Center who are all deep practitioners committed to serving others. And the food is amazing! (Thanks Jerome!)
Pamper11 October 2023The three day intensive was life changing for me. Amazing, caring, knowledgeable facilitators. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the nature of Self.
Matt20 September 2023An experience that will be remembered forever... words can't truly express how grateful I am.
Janine Janaki19 September 2023One week after the 9-day "I Am Retreat," I still feel "born again!" I feel the reset of my digestive and nervous systems. I sleep through the night and hot flashes have disappeared. I am aware of triggers, but there is much more space for response, and the depth of communication with my mate and others continues to expand. There is ease in allowing things to be as they present, and for this I'm truly grateful. I am not troubled by the arising of frustration in myself and others; I see the beauty in not stifling the flow of energy. I am free from the desperate urge to awaken. Though I am not in an "abiding sense of awakening," I have no need for seeking! So, I'm free to play with life! In all of its manifestations. I continue to paint and plan for an upcoming costumed CD release party, an event to share the joy with everyone! I hold two images in mind about the retreat experience. Imagine being on a swing. Day by day at the center, gaining momentum... back and forth, higher and higher... until at the highest possible upswing, you leap... and remain suspended in mid-air! Supported! Imagine being a child. Anything is possible! You can be Superman or a frog, the wind or a cowgirl. Then, as you grow, the programming of the world intrudes and life becomes rather serious. At some point, we remember to laugh, and become again as little children! Enjoy the ride!!
Sun & Fun17 September 2023This is the best retreat I have even been to. On one hand nothing is going on and then suddenly you notice everything has changed. It is just alchemy. There is no words how profound it is and how wonderful are the people that organize it. If you think you experienced everything or know everything (and especially then) take part in this retreat. You have no idea how transformative it is. Forget expectations because It will exceed them anyway
Steve Conley24 August 2023No amount of words can detail the Samadhi Center experience, you must experience it for yourself. ❤️🙏
Dianne Rushing12 July 2023I am so glad I visited and did a 3 day retreat to prepare me for a future 9 day retreat. My meditation has improved dramatically and I have a much deeper understanding of myself. I can't wait to return, Both staff and participants were kind and loving. It was a beautiful experience!
Meg Gillespie12 July 2023Plunked deep in nature, the Samadhi Center offers you everything your heart desires most deeply. The 3-day I Am Intensive retreat is utterly transformative. The weekend I attended, led by Dan and Attilla,, allowed me to have the most profound healing experience I have ever known. Beyond that aspect being, well, EVERYTHING!!, the beds were comfy, the site is quiet and clean and the food was top notch delicious. Every moment spent there was a moment to treasure. So very grateful.
Liya Shalmiev2 July 2023Wow, there aren't enough words to describe this place! But I'll try: I went on a personal retreat and it was absolutely fantastic. The place is so serene and peaceful, almost magical. There are beautiful trails to walk on and spots to meditate in nature. Every person in the centre is so generous, kind, knowledgeable and humble. Their support and care is so genuine and I feel immense gratitude for that. I really felt like I got to truly disconnect and deepen my meditation practice in ways I couldn't have done at home. I really recommend this place to anyone who seeks to go deeper and find out their true nature. My stay here was so incredibly meaningful. Also, Jerome's food is sooo good! Thank you so much Jenn, Jerome, Dan, and John! I'm still taking in all the positive effects of my time at the Samadhi centre and can't wait to come back :)
JOSEPH WHITMAN28 June 2023My experience at the Samadhi Center far exceeded any expectations I may have had. For one thing, the staff are absolutely amazing, and they fully support you in your endeavors to meditate, and to be on your retreat. I could not recommend this more highly!
Dominick14 June 2023It is hard to put into words how extraordinary and completely life-changing the 9 day I AM retreat is. The structure is so beautifully designed to maximize the possibility of awakening. It may be difficult at times, and there are many lows and highs, all of which come together to create an unforgettable total experience. All other retreats pale by comparison. The location is lovely. The food is delicious. The Awaken The World team is awesome. I feel so blessed to have had this opportunity, and life will never be the same. Thanks to Dan and Lilla and the rest of the ATW family.
Michael David Harris13 June 2023Dan has thought of everything for no escape. And then to have "Dan the Samadi Film Man" himself to be on-site to answer all your questions as you go through the process is priceless. I can't say enough good things about Dan and his team where at the "I Am 9-day retreat" I received all I could ever want and more.
Eva Schreiter13 June 2023The Samadhi Centre is special place on this planet where Dan, Lilla, John, Jenn, Ardea, Jerome, Andrew, and Chad held our circle and provided the opportunity through The Dyads, Breathe work, Estatic Dance, Sound Meditations, Meals , Medicine and Nature to dive into the nature of who we are. This time is the most profound time of my life and the Samadhi Team and my Circle are forever stamped on my heart🙏Love, Eva
Noah Craft11 May 2023I will make this review straight and to the point. I attended the Samadhi Center for a 3 day retreat from the 5th to the 7th of May. I went with no expectations but could sense I was about to experience something profound. Based on my experience there is no faster and better way to wake up and experience your true nature than spending 48 hours staring into the eyes of other human beings and being completely vulnerable, humble and exposed. In saying that I can assure you, you could not be in better hands than the facilitators of this retreat. They are an extraordinary, kind and humble group of souls who will guide and instruct you into the deepest and most true state of who you are. Besides the wonderful accommodation, food cooked with deep love, and an empathy, compassion and humility you may never have experienced before in a group of people whose deep desire is to support your souls true desire to remember the light that you are hidden by the shadow of your personality. You must make the pilgrimage to this “Temple of Initiation” to be baptized back into your Soul/I AM consciousness. Is it easy ? Not at all Is it worth it ? You have never done anything as important or as much a priority as this work in your life. With the deepest love for the extraordinary souls who are the keepers and custodians of this Ancient Wisdom and this Sacred Location. If you are reading this review it is because your Soul is calling you to this location and work to remember “Who You Truly Are” Limitless Love, Noah
Andrew Jonczyk10 May 2023Amazing place ran by amazing people. I did intensive self inquiry retreat that has proven to be the most deep and transformational spiritual experience.
Antonina9 May 2023I went into the 3 day Self Inquiry experience without expectations and without having done such work in the past. It turned to be one of the more profound experiences one can decide to engage in. It affected my life deeply on all levels. The stay itself was perfect, surroundings beautiful and food beyond amazing. Thank you Samadhi Team for everything, I will definitely be coming back.
John Quinn10 April 2023(April 2023) I just returned from an amazing 3 day Self Inquiry Dyad Retreat experience at the Samadhi Center in Canada with Dan, Lilla, Jerome, Jenn, and John. I went into this experience having no idea what to expect because I have never done any form of spiritual retreat before. Up until this point I had only read about doing self inquiry independently but was intrigued about the concept of working with others to discover my true self through this method. What I experienced far exceeded what I could have imagined because the mind could never understand it. Being with this group of enlightened instructors and the group of students that I worked with could only be described as "home". I felt so loved, supported and I could never thank this group of people enough for what I experienced and have continued to experience even though I have already returned back to my residence. I am still in true awe about how much support I received at the Samadhi Center because they structure it so the group is small so they can work closely with everyone to guide and direct you in a way that could only be done by truly enlightened individuals who were called to do this work. As far as the accommodations are concerned I love nature and this center is located in the most beautiful forest setting. I slept in a cabin that I found so peaceful. Other members of the group slept in the main building which looked so comfortable as well. I haven't been a vegetarian for too long or too consistently but Jerome cooked the most delicious vegetarian meals and snacks that I could have ever imagined!!!! If you are considering a spiritual retreat I could not picture a better place to attend or a better staff to guide you. I truly love them all!!!!!!
Lara Marchionni17 January 2023This was the most profound experience I could ever have. ☀️ The Samadhi center offers a sacred retreat for those seeking pure oneness. ✨️ Dan`s guidance and teaching, Lilla's care and support, Andrew and Jerome`s nutritious meals, Jenn`s assistance, and John`s sound bath are uniquely precious. From the bottom of my heart, ❤️ thank you. 🙏. Lara
Kinde Nebeker11 January 2023This is the real deal. Mastery, precision, beauty, truth. I highly recommend the work being done here, and Dan's brilliance, integrity and humility.
Sofia Cortina24 November 2022The 10 IAM retreat was beyond my expectations, what I expressed here will fall short of what it was for me. I'm in complete Awe and gratitude and it has been the best gift I have given to myself to experience the fullness of my being. The space has an amazing vibe, quiet, breath taking landscapes and beautiful sunrise and sunsets. The stay was very comfortable, every detail has been well thought out and harmoniously curated. Dan has been one of the most beautiful beings I have ever met, his practice, teaching and presence are impeccable, he has the perfect compendium to carry out the awakening to your experience. The team John, Lilla, Jerome, Jenn and Chad, each an expert in their area, it has been enriching to meet them and live so many moments together. I recommend it to all people, there is no particular profile, from opening yourself to the experience, the discomfort of the mind, learning to meet great people without the need to know who they are, going deeper into meditation, aha! moments, even the craziest things that comes to mind, what you cannot imagine because it goes beyond what you know or have been told. Thank you Dan and the team for everything, defo will come back some day.
Elly Hong21 November 2022As soon as you step foot in the centre's premises, you can feel that it's a special place. My experience was profound and it played a pivotal role in my journey. Words can not make justice. The food, services (transpersonal psychotherapy with Jenn, heart-mind tune-up with Jerome, meditations with Dan ), were all nothing short of amazing. The retreat's environment and schedule is optimal for deepening your meditations and getting closer to your True Self and Purpose. Going in with an intention , open heart, and the will to get through it without resisting whatever comes up to the surface can be immeasurably rewarding.
janet Richardson19 November 2022I was held with tender loving care during my 3-day weekend intensive. Gruelling work to strip away layers of ego occurred, however the process was gently and lovingly supported by Dan and Lilla, with Jenn and Jerome in the background. Thoughtful attention to a super clean environment, delicious vegetarian meals and opportunities to walk in quiet contemplation in the silent forest beautifully rounded out the meditation. Since I’m home a sense of expansion and openness have settled in, reminding me of how my practice has deepened. Feeling deep gratitude for the entire team and experience🙏. Until we meet again…
Jana Steingass17 November 2022My time here for the 3 day dyadic self inquiry retreat was more than I ever could have expected and imagined, and I expected it to be eye opening. Thank you to the team here that makes the space and process so magical and transformative!
Nahel Aouane29 September 2022Eye opening retreat, Jenn, Jerome and Daniel were part of that amazing experience, I would recommend this center to anyone in search of themselves, inner inquiry, and empty the mind. We will come back for sure, coming back to reality after spending time there is difficult. We wanted to stay !! Love & Light ❤️✨
Michael Piernitzki22 September 2022My 10 Day Silent Retreat experience was powerful. The distinctions of the teachings were presented creatively with competency and compassion. Dan, Lilla ,Jenn, John and Jerome entered into relationship with us coming from a deep commitment to serve our evolution as practioners. There was abundant humour as well as a disciplined approach to practice. I had a very cosy little cabin that became home for the 10 days. The food was absolutely amazing, creatively prepared with Love. At the conclusion of the retreat all of us were in deep rapport and in deep appreciation of each other as well as having a deep appreciation of Dan, Lilla , Jenn, John and Jerome and, of course the cooks (-: A Magical, Mystical 10 days well spent. Michael Piernitzki
Annelene Sillet15 September 2022This is a place for transformation. I was held with love in a safe space to be able to just focus my attention on going within! I have been here twice and both experiences have been life changing! Food, staff, green areas, common areas are amazing! Bathrooms are clean. Gracias gracias gracias!
andrew crawford12 September 2022The Samadhi Centre is an amazing place to come & discover one’s true self. Warning… The effort that is dedicated to one’s own discoveries will help create experiences that are truly life altering & uplifting. Dan is a fantastic facilitator for the human spirit on this journey through life. Humbled & honoured to be apart of this amazing space & experiences that will carry well into the future. With all my heart: Thank you Dan for having the vision & personal experiences to create such a loving environment. May others come and explore the light within themselves. Namaste
Nick Laperle10 July 2022The Samadhi Center 10-day retreat has been nothing short of the most impactful experience along my path. Being in the presence of such a teacher, is a gift, well beyond words..and what to say of the incredible team that surrounds Dan, and the safe environment they all co-create - such a blessing. Thank You.
Monica Soler1 July 202210 Days I am retreat, is Perfectly designed. All activities, schedules, food, Self inquiry and rest times lead me to a state of stillness and freedom to awaken in a loving way. I have witnessed incredible awakenings during the retreat, in perfect synchronicity and harmony. No words to describe my gratitude and Love ! Blessings
디안 말테이스22 June 2022The IAM retreat at this centre is perfect for serious meditation practice and inquiry about one's true nature. Every activity is aligned to provoke "spiritual awakening", and a shift in perception, to discern what is true... from what is not. Serious, beautiful, and loving people. Beautiful setting in a magnificent garden. One could not ask for more.
Limin16 June 2022What a great journey! This 10 days IAM retreat is a gift from GOD , is life changing. I could not say enough of my gratitude. It is an express train bringing you directly to peace, to stillness, towards ultra truth. I enjoy every minutes of it. While the retreat day after day gradually unfolding, I had to exclaim how thoughtful and perfect the retreat was designed ! The schedule of each day, the activities from day 1 to day 10, step by step, bring you to deeper and deeper presence. I had never thought I could witness so many Awaken! Greatly encouraged me on this journey. The destiny of the journey is no longer out of reach. With Samadhi Center being here, holding my hands on the path, I see Awakening is just here. With Gratitude and Love ❤️
M H14 June 2022This retreat was a life changing experience for me with aha moments every single day. The staff are all so caring and attentive, the meals were phenomenal and the surrounding landscape was breathtaking. No detail is overlooked as you immerse yourself into deep meditation, inner development and self realization. This retreat is the best gift you can give yourself in this lifetime.
Tia14 June 2022The dorms were comfortable, the food amazing, and the property and staff have my heart. Thank you Dan and Lilla, from the very depths of my being, for your unwavering love. The Samadhi Center is magic — a perfect place to explore the paradoxes/mysteries of existence and to “die before you die.”
Durom tatoo19 January 2022Le silence fait le bien le bien fait le silence.
Floyd Marinescu12 January 2022Amazing experience, deepened my meditation knowledge and capability many times over. Having meditated for 25 years, I can say that instruction and experiencing meditation with Dan at the Samadhi center was life changing.
Bruce Joseph12 October 2021A meditation retreat at the Samadhi Centre is one of the most beautiful experiences Ive had in a lifetime. The space feels calm and filled with love. The nature is incredible the location has a magical feeling. I find meditation difficult yet with the structure and instruction provided by Dan I found ways to let go, quiet my mind and learn more about myself than I ever could have imagined possible. I highly recommend this centre and feel blessed this place exists and that I was able to find it.
Vladimir23 May 2020Добрый день я из Украины хотел бы посетить ваш центр.
Steve Warsh20 March 2020Spirituality is a genre that is near and dear, to me I read, listen and explore all I can get my awe of life around. My favorite contemporary outlet is the films and documentaries put out by the Samadhi Center. You have expanded my awareness and inspired the moments that I dwell. Mahalo for all you do! Unconditional love, Steve Warsh The Collective Agreement
Jason Barato6 October 2019Beautiful place, beautiful people. A wonderful place to reset from grind. A deep Thanks to Dan, Tanya, Henry and Tammy :)
Decede121124 September 2019My experience at the Samadhi Center, a beautiful and intentional space, was one of the most valuable and enlightening of my life. Daniel and Tanya create a profound container of silence and teaching because they reside at a depth of consciousness that is deep, true and devoted. During the retreat, I experienced a shift into an abiding Presence that has lasted as I have moved back into the world. I am deeply grateful.
Hanaan Rosenthal22 September 2019Samadhi Center provides a safe, nonsectarian place to meditate. Dan and Tanya will set the bar high but leave it up to you to do your work internally. I have been to two retreats at the center and emerged both times a deeper, more centered person ewith a greated capacity to meditate and be mindful. I will go back again for certain.
Aundra25 June 2019Nice, Quiet, remote. Perfect for a silent retreat. Can 't wait to go back.
Paul Lee12 June 2019Dan and Tanya are beautifully sensitive and insightful guides for those seeking to develop true awareness. The building is perfect for meditation retreats, lodge-like, but very airy and bright. I really appreciate that it is designed for relatively small groups (<20). The heavily forested rocky Canadian Shield land surrounding the center quiets the mind and is very conducive to contemplation. Though you get the feeling of being deep in the wilds, the center has good roads and paths and is very accessible by car. The food is great and the lodging options are good and appropriately minimalist for meditation retreats (bunks, private rooms or little private cabins), not lux but entirely comfortable and minimal. Also, GONGS! If you already know, you know. If you don't, well, let's just say being bathed in the interplanetary shimmering of the giant Paiste gong is a mighty fine catalyst for getting to some profound meditative states in a flash.
Glen Goetze11 June 2019Beautiful experience.
Kim Martindale24 May 2019The Samadhi center is lovely and comfortable the teachings and guidance along with rare authenticity is a great opportunity to go to silently, quietly listen and learn with like minded people. The food is delicious and very healthy.. The time given by Tanya , Dan and Nico as well is given from the heart with passion.
king wong18 May 2019amazing retreat journey！ amazing accommodation！ amazing people！I love you Dan & Tanya！
Megan Lewis15 May 2019My experience at The Samadhi Centre for the 10 day retreat has changed my life. I'm so grateful to have had Dan and Tanya to guide me along the way. Everything was spectacular and the property is absolutely beautiful. I plan on coming back as soon as possible!
Alejandro Macias13 May 2019Time and Space given to build a relationship with Love and Wisdom.
John Mullally5 December 2018The Samadhi Center is a spectacular place. My wife and I did a weekend silent retreat over a month ago and I'm still experiencing profound benefits from my time spent exploring nature, self and unwinding in a beautiful zendo set on top of a small hill on a dozen or more acres of pristine land with plenty of huge mature pine trees. Dan and Tanya are caring and conscientious hosts that attended to all participants needs. I'm looking forward to going back just as soon as i can carve out some time to get away from the city.
Nancy22 November 2018I feel privileged to have attended the Heart-Mind Weekend Retreat at the Samadhi Center in November. Daniel and Tanya are generous facilitators and have created a very welcoming environment. The quiet meditations, sound meditations, and sessions with Henry were transformative and enriching. I would like to thank them all for creating such a heartfelt retreat with such beautiful, amazing experiences.
Agastya16 November 2018I found this retreat to be a profound experience and deeply transforming...on several levels! Facilities were clean; food was delicious! There was a GREAT group of fellow-participants; people willing to share authentically in our group experience. Dan and Tanya did a great job in preparing for, then operating, a smooth running retreat experience.
