I completed the Tantra Retreat in Europe, Greece in 2021 and returned home a new person with heart wide open. My friends said I was glowing, “it was a quantum leap.” <3 I am blessed to carry forward the gifts I receive at Samma to my family, friends, as well as to the patients I serve as a medical doctor in the USA.

I took the Tantra Training Course in Greece, and was blown away! One intense month with a deep and personal learning process through meditation, dancing, playing, classes, human encounters and inner process. The teachers live what they preach, and they are amazing! Say yes to the whole experience, and you will get a lot more than you came for 😉

I did the tantra teacher training in Ikaria 2021.
The days were structured and intense. It was well organized but also flexible enough to be in the moment and follow what ever came up during the classes. The training was a life altering experience, and the teachers were so knowledgeable, creative and loving. And I am forever grateful to them. The teachers created a safe environment for me to move outside my comfort zone and learn more and more about myself.

I have visited Samma Karuna many times, both in the old place and the new one and have also done some courses organised in Greece with them. My experience with tantra training can only be described as one of abundant love, that's why I keep going for more and more. The people that run the place and those courses are heart driven.

I went along to Samma Karuna in Greece in April 2022, and it was a life-changing experience for me, and has left a very profound mark on my life, which is hard to put into words. I would highly recommend Samma Karuna's courses, and I already plan to visit again in Thailand later this year. 100% recommend

Such a beautiful and peaceful place ♥️ In my tantra retreat I took various yoga and tantra classes and you can join all day. Most importantly the staff and volunteers turn the space into a very nice community. If you need compassion, kindness or you just want to be in a nice community this is the place ✨

Samma Karuna is a place where everyone can find their place, be accepted and heal.
I have done Breathwork facilitator training in Greece and it was simply life changing. I was able heal many wounds and literary change my life completely.
The teachers were amazing and supported us all the way through with lots of love and care. This training requires a lot of courage, motivation and self discipline, but when you feel the massive change in yourself at the end it all pays off 🙂

Samma Karuna feels like a cosy community. Which I did not found in other places on the island. People are so supportive. Which is lovely because the classes can be intense in a way that it can trigger a lot inside.
