Benefits of meditation

Meditation enriches life and the ability to function more effectively in this stressful world. Everything is in our own hands. We plant the seeds of our future here and now.  To meditate on a regular basis will calm the mind and body and teach you to accept yourself truly in the act of just being. When meditating one can perfect body, speech and mind.  If your mind is agitated and confused, you will never be able to do anything effective with your body and speech. Through meditation, the mind becomes calm and clear and then life can be dealt with properly. Our true nature is perfect!

Meditation is a necessary part of our lives. If you feel like you’ve accomplished everything and yet, feel you are not fulfilled then it is time to discover real fulfillment through this internal understanding. Start with 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes in the evening. Build up to 30 minutes and continue to stretch this time. It is not easy however the benefits with outweigh all. Even if the results are not immediately visible, the changes happen. It can take time, yet it will definitely come. Meditating is the accumulation of true wealth that can never be taken away, even by death itself. Therefore, learning how to calm our mind in order to advance insight is truly essential.

Had the most relaxed and nourishing experience with Ayurvedic treatment, yoga, nurturing meals that feed your mind, body and soul. This place allows you to disconnect and connect with nature. Was so well looked after by all the staff - Yasmine, Mandu, Dr. Chamodi, also the chef and therapist.

What’s even more amazing is the group of like minded guests I crossed paths in the sanctuary and shared our moments and experience there. Looking forward to be back!
J’ai passé sept jours merveilleux au Sen Wellness center. Une vraie prise en charge de bien-être, dans un lieu magique, en pleine nature et tout près de la mer. Une consultation de qualité avec un docteur à l’écoute , des traitements ayurvédiques bien expliqués, des massages extras, un personnel toujours gentil, et un programme de remise en forme avec méditation, yoga, et de très bons repas très variés. Et des conseils en repartant. Je recommande vraiment cette belle parenthèse
Truly amazing time at the sanctuary. I came here for a 3 day meditation retreat and wish I stayed 5. After leaving the retreat, I feel energized, refreshed and intend to apply the learnings of lifestyle management into my daily routine. I truly enjoyed my time with the monk and the yoga teacher - definitely changed my perspective on a few things and encouraged me to try new things. The doctors were also very impressively good and helpful. The massage therapists were truly incredible - some of the best I ever had. Several staff members offered to give me their contact to stay in touch and answer questions after I leave which was really Sweet. The food is quite good and the facilities are nice especially the pool. The location is purely magical and some of us even saw baby turtles going to the sea from the first time. Highly recommend - might go back!

A few little things, which are easy to fix, to make it even better:
- Food was often served cold and had to be sent back several times
- there was a lack of insect repellent during meals and outside yoga/meditation which unfortunately altered the experience quite a bit - some of us had to leave a yoga session/dinner several times
- there was a bittersweet end where I was asked to pay $20 for my last lunch after my checkout. Not so much an issue about the amount but more so about the the lack of gesture considering the overall amount spent and the fact that I got 2 lunches only as opposed to 3 as I arrived late at night on the first day. It would have been a no cost/effort gesture and a smart business/hospitality decision but instead they said no even after insisting citing “policy”. A bit sad that it was my very last memory of this retreat.
I stayed at Sen Wellness Retreat for 11 days and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment you arrive, the peaceful atmosphere and stunning natural surroundings make you feel instantly at ease. The location is absolutely magical — a perfect place to disconnect and reconnect with yourself.

The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming. While many of them don’t speak much English, their warmth and genuine care shine through in everything they do. The doctors and therapists, in particular, are remarkable — true professionals who approach their work with deep humility and kindness. You can feel that they are very special souls, and their presence really enhances the healing experience.

The food was another highlight — all vegetarian, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. Their homemade peanut butter is hands down the best in the world! The yoga sessions were gentle, grounding, and deeply relaxing, perfectly complementing the holistic approach of the retreat.

All in all, my time at Sen Wellness was absolutely amazing — for some, I can imagine even life-changing. I would recommend it wholeheartedly and would absolutely return!
A magical retreat! Serene lagoon, caring staff, and rejuvenating yoga. Perfect place to relax, heal, and reconnect with yourself. Highly recommended!
