Claudiu, thank you for radiating what you are sharing in every moment. This is the teaching for me.
- Radasi, UK

"[The retreat inspired me to spend] time in the heart…. [It] deepened [my] commitment to surrender [and provided a] new baseline for practice and teaching, seeing deeper into what is real and possible spiritually. [I most appreciated' Claudiu's presence, experience, humility, strength, humour and example."
- Virginia Preston, Canada

'One time in the break, while lying down with my hands on my heart, I felt my consciousness strongly centered there, and was moved to tears with the realization of how humans express love to each other.

For the first time I started to feel the joy of meditation and was so inspired to do more in my life. I felt my meditations deepen and I discovered a new outlook on reality.

What did you appreciate most?
Claudiu's dedication to getting us to fall in love with mediation. His devotion to the spiritual life, his enthusiasm, sense of humour, the lectures.
- Amy Henderson, New Zealand

I feel like a foundation of understanding/belief/experience of this deeper more blissful aspect of my being is blossoming and although I am not the deepest meditator(!) this is transferring to my life and happiness profoundly.
- Marit Griffith, Scotland

Amazing retreat! Intense, tough, but very powerful. Well done Claudiu!

What experience do you recall most vividly?
The way Claudiu speaks from the heart. That says it all. "Like this". Beautiful. Walking Meditations also.

In short, this retreat has made me 1) Stop, 2) Surrender to what is, 3) Remember Who I am
I appreciated the sharing of all that great knowledge Claudiu has gathered over the years. The softness, kindness and loving way it was presented, Also the simplicity and profoundness.
- Lorraine Taylor, UK

This retreat forever inspires the depest call of my heart to be answered and cultivated in truth. Truth, truth, truth - all what we experience here resonates with the ancient scriptures, the unified message of the mystics. I am grateful for the inspiration and in no doubt transformation.

"The 16th day when you spoke about samadhi states vs transitioning helped immensely. It was a breaking point for me and I think that whole lecture should be put on the 10th day. "
- Justine Baruch, USA

There are a lot of outstanding moments that I will treasure, but I think the realization that these teachings were absorbed into my being, forever changing me, was very powerful. My entire perspective and attitude has changed. The teachings are no longer just nice ideas, but they have become my reality - a work in progress, at the very least.

I've been inspired in every way possible. Every cell in my body and all of my other bodies are forever changed. Every real transformation is irreversible! I want to live what I've learned. What I feel in my heart. It is such a beautiful feeling!

I appreciate and love Claudiu infinitely!

Claudiu, thank you so much!!! Your love, compassion, aspiration, kindness, wisdom, sincerity, devotion, openness, and humor have touched me deeply. Thank you for sharing your path. There are no words to express my gratitude. Thank you!
Allie Reece, USA

In which ways has this retreat inspired and transformed you? In all ways and in no way! It has laid out a path beautifully, in front of my feet. Fully inspired it's time to walk it!

I appreciate the teacher's dedication in sharing all the details of the teaching and especially the way in which he has answered the questions.
- Mantre Starski, Poland

Claudiu gave me new stimuli and much wisdom. Thanks.
- Amelino Terenzio, Italy

The retreat has inspired me in many ways, many unclear to my mind. This gives me a deeper understanding of the path and love for the advaita vedanta vision. It has also given me more insight, so important is how I identify with the mind or keep the attention on the body.

Thanks Claudiu! I believe our paths walking together could just be beginning. You are doing great work.
- Geoff Torkington, USA

It helped me to realize that I have the option of being happy because it is essentially what I am. And that any time a doubt or depression arises, I can tap into that happiness and remain there.
- Anonymous

I leave every Hridaya retreat with increased awareness, a deepened sense of peace and joy, and a greater ability to understand the real priorities of life.
- Michelle Barabonoff, Canada

Thank you Claudiu! I love your retreats! Thanks for your patience and devotion.
- Juliane, Germany

In sitting this retreat I've gained more clarity and centeredness. Sitting in stillness, I've discovered new depths of being. I am full of aspiration, inspired to continue practicing and going deeper.

Thank you Claudiu, for this retreat and for all your insights, your care, your love, and your presence - your being! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Blessings!
- Adam Caplan, USA

It makes me cry when I look at everyone's faces and I know I know them....like from somewhere, evern though many are complete strangers. An intimate feeling of recognition arouses which makes me feel joyful, that there are so many brothers and sisters.

This retreat has deepened my belief and brought/brings changes from spiritual life to worldly life.

The retreat was fantastic. Only those truly inspired dared to continue, so the meditative atmsophere was deeper.
- Claud Vaduva, USA

Every day was like Christmas, a new lecture every day, great topics, ver well structured, clear and understandable.

I learned to overcome limits and boundaries I've set in my head. For example I can now meditate easily for 3 hours, before I thought 2 hours was the maximum, but now I realized that it's not so long. And as usual there is more aspiration towards God, more inspiration, more SPANDA...!

Amazing group energy, everything seemed to flow and everyone was so focused and inspired.

It was great to have Radasi responsible for the women, she's such an angel!
Thank you Claudiu for bringing this gift to my life!
- Esther Greler, Switzerland

The extended portion allowed a much deeper development of meditation - simply the most profound experience of my life!

Claudiu's ability to fill every cell of my being with love, gratitude and aspiration. I also appreciate his patience answering questions and love to hear his responses and lectures in general.
- Anonymous

This morning - love, gratitude, peace, stillness - I want the retreat not to end! Can't we go on?!?

Wow! The extra 7 days took us even deeper, stabilized things more and more, allowed the longer meditations, more stillness - so unbelievable!

I appreciated Claudiu most - his teaching, his inspiration, his being - teaching with Dengue Fever! Just the presence of him gave me the inspiration to go deeper.

Once again, thank you Claudiu. This enriching and enlightening so many lives. Let's take it further - sanghatime!
- Tiffany Nicholson-Smith,Canada

When Claudiu said: "many moments of this retreat will pass, make this moment unforgettable"...and then - stillness...and love!

I started to see the beauty even more everywhere. Even my cats were more beautiful in my eyes. I enjoyed the rain like never before! Lying down on earth when raindrops are falling on my body made me feel so happy that I was laughing and crying at the same time.
- Rosie, Israel

Which experience do you recall most vividly?
Some personal revelations regarding consciousness and oneness.
Everyone staring in bliss at a thunderstorm.
Hendri, South Africa

What touches and inspires me most is Claudiu's love and devotion for his students and God!
Om Namah Shivaya!

The flow of lectures: they were progressive and somehow follow our experiences synchronistically always proving the feedback and information needed at the right time.
- Andre Lepine, Canada

Hridaya Retreat Testimonials June 2010

I understand what it means, that "meditation gets effortless". Everything is so easy!!! Why is it so hard to repeat these experiences?

I feel encouraged and inspired to really take my time for daily meditation and hope that I can inspire more people to do yoga and meditation. We need more awareness and love on this planet!
- Jana Schuldt, German

"I had a clear mind and everything in that moment was just so beautiful and everything became one and infinity... [It] almost made me want to stay in that moment as long as I could.... The poems and lectures have inspired me. I love to hear them again and again and all the amazing stories have changed my mind forever. The way that Claudiu spoke really touched my heart."
- Penpak Pakkumlao, Thailand

Iit is grounded in research and taught by a dedicated practitioner. Love it!

All lectures were inspiring, I like how Claudiu built on the lectures and the techniques day by day.
- Naomi Gibb, New Zealand

I feel that this retreat has given me clear and practical meditation techniques that will be easy to remember and apply in my own practice and can take me deeper than the techniques I learned before.

Most vivid recall:
The feeling of deep gratitude after a meditation that gave me new eyes to look at the world and the wonderful stillness that it left me with. Walking on a rocky path barefoot afterwards, I felt so light, I felt my feet were gently caressed by velvety softness, almost other worldly.

During these ten days I found out that I do have spiritual aspiration and I realized that I have always had trust in this universe, only I had misinterpreted it as something entirely different and attributed it to wrong causes. I experienced a strong sense, a very intimate feeling of something greater than me that "oversees" everything in this world. I feel such relief and deep trust now.
- Anna Hirvilammi, Finland

The meditation techniques helped me Very Much! By creating such a beautiful awareness of the ever present stillness. So that even when my mind was chatting in meditation I was able to be aware of the background of stillness.

I have a much greater understanding that what my mind says or what my emotions feel does not equal truth. For me this has been a huge freedom! As well as an understanding of this ever present stillness and love. Which brings for me a wholeness and a greater capacity to love without restrictions or fear.
- Rosie Matheson, Australia

Most vivid recall:
Having what felt like a full body orgasm during this morning's meditation!

Just overall, I feel like I'm in a new place in understanding, and inspired to go deeper and deeper.
- Kris Vickery, USA

Most vivid recall:
All the times that I felt deep resonance in my heart with something Claudiu said, or with poems. And especially on Day 2 or 3, when I felt my heart radiating like a brilliant star after meditation, deep overwhelming joy and lightness together with total, sparkling, physical well-being.

It has brought me home in many ways. It has made me understand some 'awakening experiences' I had years ago and that always had been very mysterious for me (for some part, they still are...). It has confirmed my intuitive desire to unify with God through the heart and opened new horizons of ways how to do that. It has made me look even deeper into my heart and has brought back the appreciation of stillness into my life (this had been lost a bit in the busyness of a Yoga aspirant life...) It has made me understand better the difference between thinking of stillness, remembering stillness, desiring stillness, and actually BEING in stillness)...

Gratitude beyond words...I will always remember this retreat as one of my life's most beautiful experiences.
- Killian Huebinger, Germany

Hridaya Retreat Marturii March 2010

“The most vivid experience during the retreat was when my mind seemed to detach from my body. I was feeling like being in a very fast elevator and floating in the sky. It was a little bit wierd because it came when I was not expecting anything. I consider it was good like that.
This retreat show me the way to open my heart and reveal it. And I've got the feeling I find myself and I'm sure I won't be afraid anymore to love and to live how I am and how I want. So thank you for this! It was the destiny. In life, there is no hazard. So thank you to the person who told me about this retreat.”
– Stephanie C, France

“This retreat I found great inspiration by focusing on the five points of: gaps between thoughts, pauses between breaths, focusing on the I-feeling, stillness and spanda. The Stillness touched me.
As always I'm inspired to retreat more. I'm also praying that the echo of these retreats transforms my existence into presence and consciousness. It seems I have become ,ore present from doing these retreats...In that light I will continue to take these little steps towards truth and express my gratitude to all that make these retreats such a success and so beautiful”
– Radasi, UK

“This retreat has brought devotion and communion with the Divine into my practice. This was not really there before. I feel more inspired, more connected, more 'whole' now ”
– Michelle Desrosiers, USA

“The lectures are PRECIOUS! WOW! So rare to come across the info. I've loved the spanda lecture and hearing about the Heart as an organ of knowledge. It's like, I've always knew but now I don't feel crazy for believing and going into it. Priceless!”
– Michelle, Canada

“The most vivid experience of this retreat was when I had an astral projection during meditation. It was incredible. I had an omidirectional expansion and then a real union between myself and spanda together with a strong arousing of Sahasrara. But in that moment I didn't know what it was. I just felt being in the arms of God.
The most inspiring lecture for me was about spanda because I really felt it and I understood that we are the house of Lord.”
– Claudio Valdiserri, Italy

“Surrender to the Divine Consciousness touches me the most. It is the most beautiful, the most profound, the most challenging and frightening, but the most essential of all teachings in meditation and in life. I had so many beautiful and uplifting moments in my meditation where I felt my heart opening, realising so much tension and sadness and totally letting Love and Joy and Bliss back in again.
Over the years that I have been attending these retreats, I have truly come to love meditation. It has made me more aware of my thoughts and mind patterns and helped me relinquish limiting beliefs that were holding me back. I'm more peaceful, more aware and more compassionate as a result. What a gift! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!”
– Stefani Chan, Canada

“In one of the meditations I sat motionless for one or two hours. I hardly felt my body, I felt like I'm in space, very detached, peacefull, a quite relaxed kind of bliss.”
– Eyal M, Israel

Hridaya Retreat Marturii July 2009

“Deeply confirmed who I am, been and continually will be. At times in my life I have wondered how to more appropriately channel all the compassion and love within. For years I have loved unconditionally in simple acts of giving while nurturing the heart via words of the mystics and few prophetic voices of the day – Jean Vanier, Henri Nouwen, Catherine Doherty. This retreat formation has opened another dimension of expression my heart’s yearning…My indebtedness shall remain one of love.”
– Brock Currie, Canada

“I felt I had a very “successful” retreat in that from the start my mind was not as restless and distracted as usual. Not only that my focus was very good but I found myself in absorption and states of dissolution. There’s always more surrender, more stillness, more that could be more ideal, but I was pleased enough with some observable progress in practice and very inspired throughout. I felt very present during this retreat. Thank you, Claudiu, for your immense support of this retreat and for guiding us so lovingly and patiently. I love this retreat very much”
– Lori Doyle, USA

“Now I want to live more from the heart. I can feel spanda like a “pressure” in my chest. I had very deep meditations. Beautiful! I liked the retreat very much. Claudiu has the capability to take the whole group on a journey into the Self.”
– Sharonna, Holland

“It feels so good to witness my stillness again, to observe the world without ego, without judgment. It makes everything so much lighter. This retreat brought me back to NOW and I never want to be anywhere else anymore! Oh yes, and forget about the rest: Live and Love! Face your fears, live your dreams.”
– Monique, Holland

“I had a breakthrough moment during this retreat. I felt I could not yet experience my heart during meditation, but also felt determined...It was finally, day 9, getting into a deeper meditative state, a state of longing and surrender, thought I heard the bell to end, and felt myself say NO!!! NOT YET!! And spontaneously started crying and my Self was saying to myself, YOU HAVE THIS MOMENT. AND THIS MOMENT. AND THIS MOMENT. It was profound for me.”
– Allison, USA

“In which ways has this retreat inspired and transformed me? It is hard to say. The inspiration? It’s ineffable. The transformation? Only time will tell what it’s reversible. Truly it feels like an opening for me. It’s been a time for me to revisit questions that, at age 18, I felt were unanswerable in all but the most pessimistic ways. I’ve been carrying that pessimism around with me as the general foundation of my consciousness for a long time. Only in the last few years I have realized that something else might be possible, partially I think I feel encouraged by the mainstream awareness of our planetary crisis. And I realized how tired I feel of my pessimism. So this is my time to revisit the questions of life and existence. I have deeply appreciated this experience. It’s been a pleasure, a profound pleasure, to share your presence, Claudiu. I feel that these days are part of a new beginning for me and as I write that I’m remembering that I had a beautiful moment, when I felt, I think actually for the first time, that I wanted and felt deeply interested, in seeing and experiencing this life till the end. No matter what happened. I felt appreciative of Existence, in its totality. Yes, I hope this is a transformation. And I think if I keep blowing on my embers, it will be.”
– Allison, USA

“The retreat reminded me of who I truly am and I feel so much love and compassion for myself and others. What more do we need? I’m floating. I’m aware of all my silly habits that distract me away from peace. More, more, more don’t stop the retreats!”
– Lorraine Taylor, UK

“I feel ready to love and let myself be loved in ways I’ve never thought myself capable of. I feel in love with the universe! ”
– Katey Woolmer, UK

“It’s not about wanting to be
It’s about being.
Be that which you are
Then long for it with your whole heart
And your heart will be so full
There will be no room for thoughts"
– Katey Woolmer, UK

“Certainly, it was an amazing journey from a insightful, compassionate seeker of the self. The way you presented the course was clear, profound and transforming for me. I have traveled many spiritual paths but this path of “who I am” guided by you certainly will take me home.”
– Mithok, Australia

“I will dedicate my whole life and all my being to love from now on. I was always looking for words to express this longing. Now I know! Thank you!”
– Alice Guldenbrein, Austria

“I have been practicing meditation for 7 years, mainly Vippasana. I found the major experience in this retreat reminded me why I meditate, as it can be forgotten sometimes. But most of all it introduces the dimension of God into my practice. I am inspired to keep on offering my heart to the divine in every moment and every way, as this is what I truly am. Claudiu, your dedication and patience are inspiring to me and a model of how to embody the spiritual teachings into my being. The love flows through your words and actions.”
– Daniel Davis, Israel

“This retreat has allowed me the time, space, knowledge, experience and tools to properly meditate quieting the mind and spiritually advance.”
– C. Handy, UK

“Many times I could enter in the Pure Presence and that was all for me. Also, I had a lot of deep understandings. It was a very rich period, spiritually. I’m grateful! It was great! You all are wonderful!”
– Gina Rives, France

That I live for love.”
– Ella White, UK

– Anonymous, Romania

“Claudiu’s retreat gives me more clarity in what real spiritual practice has as its goal. It is giving me renewed aspiration and helping me see more clearly that I am more than body/thoughts. It is also with the spiritual heart giving me a clearer base and a wonderful Western model. The directedness of his mind and heart and their manifestation in non-dogmatic ways are gifts.”
– Geoff Torkington, USA

“This retreat inspires me to bring more awareness into my daily life, the Nowness – the present moment which is all that exists – much deeper than I understood before.

– Eliza Shablovskaya, Ukraine

"This retreat was the most profound experience of my life thus far. Thank You Thank You Thank You!"
- Lily, Canada

"My heart beats rapidly...
Is this aspiration?
Is this nervousness?
Is this excitement?
It is Love
I feel a wave of bliss
I shed tears of joy."
- Rajinder, Britain

"This retreat has inspired me to continue along my spiritual path despite some of the bumps along the way. It has brought me back to my heart center that as a child I lived from and had begun to stray away in my older years. I will now reenter the world as a compassionate warrior bringing conscious love into everyday life..."
- Natahna, Canada

"I am much calmer in actions and also in thoughts. I have always felt like there was somthing more in life and now I know there is. And I know how to find it in me. Thank You!"
- Ambra, Switzerland

"It opened my heart, strengthened my faith, widened my horizons, deepened my meditation practice and inspired me on my spiritual path. I have got the self confidence now to sit down and meditate no matter what's the state the little ego is in. I've learned to slow down my mind and sublime negative feelings. I had quite some little glimpses of stillness and infinity although no extraordinary spectacular experiences. It definitely made me wanting more, it is highly addictive! "
- Esther, Switzerland

"I felt so much love. I was like an eager child. And I think I understand the consequences. There is no way back. I am back at my roots. Thank you infinitely."

Hridaya Retreat Marturii March 2009

“I’ve done Vipassana retreats over the last 10 years and I never made such profound and encouraging progress in any of them. This retreat has finally opened up meditation for me. Thank you so much!”
– Arjuna H., Germany

“I don’t know what to say other than how completely inspired I was by the whole course. I loved all the quotes and poems, and Claudiu’s dedication and devotion is completely contagious and beautiful.”
– Michael B., USA

“The retreat gave a big booster to my meditation practice, and also lots of motivation to continue this practice more seriously than before. I especially appreciate the practical tips Claudiu gave us in order to have better meditation – in my case, how to confront the tendency to fall asleep – and also how to apply all this knowledge in our daily life.”
– Vered S., Israel

“My mind now calms down easier and faster. The gaps between thoughts become longer. I feel much more comfortable in meditating, less agitated. My breath-awareness increased and meditation became more intimate.”
– Maureen G., Switzerland

“My meditation practice has deepened immeasurably. Before this retreat I would experience states of dhyana sporadically and for short periods. I now feel that I have found (been shown) the key to bringing me there, and staying focused is more attainable. I really cannot believe how long states of dhyana have stayed (and still do!). I feel very blessed. … I’ve never experienced a more profoundly moving, rewarding workshop. Thank you to Claudiu – my sincerest, deepest, heartfelt gratitude. I am indeed blessed to call you my teacher.”
– Karen S., Canada

“Thank you! I am deeply grateful for this experience and will do it again next time I am here.”

“I had a very profound experience of unity lasting for half of a day. Also I had an experience of witness consciousness a few times during the retreat. My meditation certainly deepened.”
– Victor S., Russia

“If I have to synthesize the result of the retreat in a few words I would use: love, surrender, aspiration, union! This intimate perception of the Self feels like the most intense of all freedoms – it is the vastness of the spirit. There is a feeling of lightness…. This was the safest place in which I have ever been. It was the most natural state in which a human being should be. I stayed in that secret place for long. When I went out of that state some conclusions arrived to me, like some forms of superior understanding: LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, so much LOVE. Undifferentiated, for everybody. The strong desire to offer and to share this love…. Thanks so much for everything and I think that the best way to express to you my gratitude is to meditate more and to go deeper into this wonderful, intimate mystery that is the Divine Self.”
– Debora R., Italy
