Tushita Meditation Centre

Reviewed By FrenchyClarence - Dubai, United Arab Emirates

I follow this course last Novembre and it was incredible. First of all the centre is very peaceful and relaxing. You hear very little noise from the street, you are surrounded by the forest and mountains. The food was delicious, vegetarian and different everyday. The quality of teaching, the content of the course and the variation of the meditation session were really great. I ve enjoyed every single day there, time went by very quickly, and to get a real break from our daily busy routine is sometimes very necessary and brings so much. There is such a positive energy there and Ienjoyed so much my cup of tea every day just sitting there and admiring the beauty of nature.
