Rolling Meadows Retreat - Friendship, Maine

Life changing experience! I had the opportunity to join two retreats over the past two years and both were extremely fulfilling. Patricia and Surya are a wealth of knowledge and share their insight to their practice which leaves no doubt they’ve devoted their entire lives to helping others; bringing love and peace to everyone they meet. I first joined a group in Tuscany during the fall season. The grounds, hosts and other attendees all created a beautiful atmosphere to reconnect with ourselves. The family who hosted us at their farm were the true essence of Italy and beyond gracious. Secondly, I visited a silent retreat in Vermont in peak foliage. Here the accommodations and hosts created a warm, inviting space where I felt immediately at home. Patricia and Surya always handle everything with care and understanding during each retreat. The inner work during these times has changed my life in unfathomable ways. I would recommend anyone to share the profound experience they cultivate in any of the setting they allow. .

I've met Patricia and Surya in a yoga retreat at Tulum Mexico. They touch my soul first second that I met them.They walk on the beach as a two Avatar, like if they just fly...
I knew that was them...Before first meeting in a yoga class. That was the beginning of a new path and story for me.

A years after, during around 10 years, I follow Patricia and Surya's retreat.

I found in there space, a most mature and spiritual essential teaching that I've never received. Together, they create safe space and vacuity who let for each poeple, time to hear there innervoice and process the work who need to be done.

They have mastering breathwork and you are totally safe to enter in that experience with them. The Patricia's approch for yoga is all about fluidity and sweet movment. For her and for Surya, yoga is a health way, soft and presence. It's nothing around percormance or technical head practice. They leed by connexion and presence in breath and body sensations.

Patricia passed away on 23 of july. I believe that there is no time and no space. Those retreat with Surya, who have this courage to continue the path, will be agan mémorable. The Patricia's soul will always be inside Surya's teaching.

This retreat was amazing. Surya is very knowledgeable and well-read on different philosophies, meditation techniques, and breathwork. His guidance made each step on our reflective journeys accessible, and I personally was inspired to challenge myself and my thought process during this transformative weekend. There was time to exchange ideas and discuss strategies for applying our reflections to our everyday lives, and that way this retreat became less of an escape so much as it was an impactful learning experience.

Patricia and Surya are highly experienced and talented yoga and meditation practitioners and teachers, creating a supportive and nurturing space for retreat participants to get quiet, go inside and recharge, in a beautiful natural environment with delicious, healthy meals. Thank you Patricia and Surya. Namaste.

I have attended several Rolling Meadow retreats and would place these interludes with Surya and Patricia amidst the most important and healing and healthy actions I have taken over the course of my life. Literally. The quiet, the movement, the beautiful locations, the delicious heathy meals, the safety are all reflective of the authenticity & care they each bring to these retreats.That is, their awareness & love are felt. I try to attend one of their retreats every year or other year and this pattern has made an enormous difference in the quality of my life and my ability to more fully and truthfully meet it. Thank you so much Patricia & Surya— keep on keeping on, please!

Being on retreat with Patricia and Surya is a wordless experience, but I will do my best to describe it. I have been attending retreats just about yearly with them since 2014 in Maine, Mexico, and most recently Vermont. That first retreat in 2014 was truly life changing. I was able to tap into the power, beauty and simplicity of just being. At that first retreat, I got a glimpse into how many attachments and layers I am clutching, and the freedom and pure love that exist just beneath. It is a continual practice and I am forever grateful that Patricia and Surya are there to guide and journey alongside me.

Words alone cannot express the depth of the impact these past few days I spent at the Rolling Meadows silent retreat had on my soul. It was so much more than the gentle teachings and guidance of a generously insightful and experienced yoga teacher. It was the positive energy and elevated vibration…. and yes, the love that surrounds you in every corner and was at the core of the retreat. Each class was thoughtfully planned and designed for beginner and experienced yoga enthusiasts alike. The meals were incredible. Healthy, fresh and nourishing for both body and soul as well as the beautiful and peaceful location. I would highly recommend Rolling Meadows silent retreat to anyone who was looking to disconnect from the chaos of the everyday and wants to reset their mind and body by turning your focus inward, under the caring guidance of Surya. Thank you so much for a beautiful experience! I feel renewed!

To say that the four retreats that I attended with Surya and Patricia were life-altering is an understatement! Due to their masterful guidance, profound wisdom and gentle caring approach, the transformation among participants was truly palpable. The yoga was phenomenal, the experiential and somatic practices offered reflect the skill and depth of very high level compassionate Beings. I will cherish my retreat experiences with them for the rest of my life! I am eternally grateful for their selfless, generous offerings that are contributing to up-leveling the consciousness of the planet.
