The community there is really beautiful and unique, and everyone made us feel incredibly welcome and comfortable. It is a very special place to visit. The group we spent our time with was delightful and it was great getting to know them during our time there. Lunch and dinners were absolutely delicious. It was a calm place to relax, reflect and meditate. The walk in the nearby forest was beautiful at this season.

"Recommended for variety of activities and location"
Several activities including yoga and creative classes are scheduled through the day. The food is delicious and generous, and the location is beautiful: castle, garden, forest paths, bakery and great yoga room is excellent.
The Krishna temple is accessible as well as the changing ceremony, but it is totally voluntary and not pushed on on the workshop participants.
The mantra chanting teacher was phenomenal.

"A great weekend of selfcare"
It was a very nice weekend. The organisation was good. It was a full but interesting program, with yoga, but also other interesting and inspiring activities such as Ayurveda and essential oils. I would definitely go again, every weekend if I could. The yoga instructors were very good. Exactly what I needed. The food was amazingly delicious. Thank you to the whole community.

"Great retreat for more spirituality in your life"
I loved the location. The Ardennes, the castle and the Hare Krishna community are the perfect spot for a spiritual yoga retreat. There's plenty of space outside to hang around in the garden or go for a walk in the forest. Be prepared to be off line. Wifi is only available at the reception and there's also no cell phone reception.
The food (lunch and dinner) is delicious, nourishing, ayurvedic, vegan or vegetarian and with an Indian twist. It's perfectly suited for this retreat. Breakfast is basic but good.
The accomodation is great as well. I loved that we have our own private room with own bathroom. It gives you the much needed personal space to withdraw, reflect, read or journal.
They provide everything you need: Towels, bedding, yoga mats, pillows, blocks, etc... So you can travel light, which is definitely also a plus!
The instructors are all very professional and qualified. The soundbath we did was one of the best I ever had. I will definitely be back for that!
I practice yoga for emotional, psychological growth so this retreat was perfect for me. No heavy work outs or fitness like yoga styles, which are not my thing but relaxing chakrayoga and yin yoga. Definitely my favourity styles of yoga so I will be back for those as well :-)
Combined the meditation and mantra singing this created the perfect weekend for me

"Une première retraite très satisfaisante"
Un accueil chaleureux, respectueux. Les professeurs de yoga sont à l'écoute et investis. La diversité des sessions proposées est un réel atout: yin goga, méditation, bain de forêt, chants de mantra, singing bols, initiation aux huiles esssentielles, à l'ayurveda...
Rien n'est obligatoire mais tout donne envie!
La nourriture était délicieuse et faite maison, un régal!
Bref une première expérience qui donne clairement envie de revenir.

Het is fijn om te merken dat je binnen 2,5 dag zoveel focus kunt vinden, na een drukke tijd. Er waren bijzondere momenten, zoals de meditatieve wandeling in het bos en echt kwalitatief goede yoga lessen. Het eten is super, en ik voelde mij direct comfortabel in de groep en in de lessen (terwijl wij zelf niet veel aan yoga/meditatie doen).

"Een hele fijne, warme en leerzame retrait."
Het gehele programma was zeer leerzaam en divers. De yoga/meditatie met klangschalen vond ik geweldig, maar ook de andere yogasessies. De mantra chanting was een bijzondere ervaring. Het eten was super goed. De groep was ook erg leuk en prettig. De locatie vond ik heel uniek en bijzonder.

"If you ever give a gift to yourself...."
The whole weekend was a great experience for me that I will always remember. I could totally be myself here and I was very peacefull, using all of my senses, stimulated by passionate and kind teachers. The location is magic. This is a great yoga retreat for every person with an open mind.

"Great experience of a few spiritual days"
I passed 3 very interesting days with the team in Radhadesh spiritual center.
The trainers and attendees were open hearted and welcoming. The activities were quite charming and the walk in the forest was just awakening. From a meditative and spiritual perspective, I think this will meet everyone's needs. The food was simply amazing.

Coming to Radhadesh retreat centre is arriving to a place where no labels matter, where you don't need to compete or be anything. The retreat filled me up with positivity, calmness, togetherness and peacefulness. The food was amazing, the teachers extraordinary and the kindness you see in the community opened up a new vibration in me. Thank you for organizing these experiences!!! I'll be back!

"Blissful days at Radhadesh "
The location is sublime in a beautiful old castle in a stunning garden and forest. It was fascinating to get to know the community and its culture. The yoga and the sessions were brilliant and everything was well organized. The food was very good. After the weekend I feel tired but also very good. A total reset!

I enjoyed the full and varied program of activities on offer. The yoga courses were good for beginners with the option to do easier versions of poses. The food was excellent. Everyone was kind. Beautiful location. The accommodations are spare but fine. Private bathrooms were a plus.

"Yoga retreat"
Hi,
I enjoyed the retreat very much. Just some small suggestions:
- The yoga classes were a bit hit and miss (chakra yoga and Annlydie were very good, the other classes were less so.) I think a more authentic yoga experience on the Saturday morning would have contributed to the weekend. I understand that it is difficult to pitch the level correctly in a mixed group, but as a "yoga retreat" perhaps it should not target complete beginners.
-I also very much enjoyed my massage from Gora (apologies if this is incorrect), however it was not a Swedish massage as described. I would encourage you to just call it an intuitive massage as this is what she called it.
-Overall the experience was very positive. It is a beautiful setting, a very nicely balanced timetable. The Rhadhadesh community made us feel very welcome and I am very grateful for your open spirit and generosity which make the world a better place. I will definitely recommend the experience to friends.

"Une bulle hors du temps"
Le séjour était comme une bulle hors du temps, en effet on se retrouve dans des activités de méditation, musique, chant, yoga, dont on n'a pas l'habitude dans la vie moderne et son rythme effréné.
Cela permet une belle introspection et de belles rencontres également.
Je suis ressortie nourrie de cette retraite et pleine de positivisme.

Cette retraite fut une réelle révélation ! Vedasara dégage tellement de paix et d’amour autour de lui! Il m’a réellement inspirée et j’utiliserai les outils qu’il nous a appris tout au long de mon parcours.
Le lieu est magique, les alentours pour les promenades également. Mais ce que je retiendrai surtout, ce sont toutes les magnifiques personnes que j’ai rencontré. Leurs cœurs merveilleux m’ont boulversée et je ne les oublierai jamais!
Mille mercis pour tout.

"Perfect experience for my first retreat"
the warm welcoming athmosphere, the amazing people and beautiful surroundings. I felt like I was part of the family!
Each day was different and we had so many different styles of Yoga to taste from that I can't say which one I liked the best. I've learned so much in this weekend, not only about Yoga, but about the community, Ayurveda, letting go and much much more.
Having myself some physical limits and being a complete beginner wasn't any issue! I felt at ease and met some really wonderfull people (I am sad I didn't ask for contactdetails now :( - if someone reads this from the group @thisbutterflywarriorreads on IG).
The food was incredible, and more than enough. Due to covid we couldn't eat together in the cafeteria but we were very lucky to have sunny weather so we ate outside social distancing enough :)
I appreciated the basic, clean rooms. And the bed was indeed more rigid than I am used too - but actually I slept great!
I can highly recommend and will come back for sure!

The kindness of the team, the food, the activities, the open heart of the community's memhers and the spirit of the place!

A very peaceful environment, a diversity of yoga and other classes, professional, experienced teachers... And a nice way if getting to know the Hare Krishna community a bit better from an outsider perspective. I absolutely loved kirtan! I learned a lot in just one weekend: it brought me a lot closer to myself.

This was a great retreat, you're fully embarked in a so lovely community, living for Love and Devotion. I learned so much with all the people met there. It's just incredible. You need to try to understand. I recommend this retreat for everyone who needs a break out of time.
