When we hug, our hearts connect, revealing that we are not separate beings. Embracing with mindfulness and openness can foster reconciliation, healing, understanding, joy, and profound happiness. This practice encourages us to become aware of our defenses and reconnect with the divine presence within ourselves and others.

I stayed in Samma for two weeks with the Awakening and Healing program and I had a wonderful time there. I liked the different classes, such as Tetra Breath, Biodevelopement classes, meditation etc. Even after the two weeks I stayed longer and did one intensive breathwork over 3 days and the BioDev TTC. Thank you for everything Samma, I’m hoping to come back and enjoy more of this amazing place ❤️

The teachers were all incredible and bought a unique teaching that really helped with my healing and self connection. The property on the water is beautiful. Sunsets were a bonus! I can’t wait to come back and next time as a volunteer/teacher. The breathe work was unlike anything I’ve ever done.
