"It's the real deal"

The Garden of Nâm is a proper working ashram and monastery in the Spanish hills. If you are looking for an authentic ashram experience, this is it. The daily schedule consists of three 30 min meditation sessions and three hour long yoga sessions. Silence is encouraged at three points in the day - from waking until the first meditation, 2pm until dinner (lunch) and 6pm until supper. There is a period of sewa, where guests can help in the garden or kitchen in a contemplative manner. The yoga classes focus on breathwork, chanting and gentle movement and won't be like the asana-heavy classes you may be used to back home (although we did try crow pose, which is a beast of a move). Accommodation is basic and comfortable. The food was healthy, fresh and vegetarian. If you are used to a more carb-heavy diet though, you may find yourself craving a big stack of buttery toast. If you are travelling in the winter months it can get cold at night. There is the option for a harp mood meditation, where the head honcho himself will play for you, which was an emotional experience.

Garden of Nâm is a great choice if you are looking for a real ashram with people seeking reflection and contemplation. The meditation sessions were healing, the people friendly and the food was great. Thanks to Andjanie & Hubertus and all the permanent residents for being such lovely, welcoming people.

"Life-changing experience "

My stay in the Garden of Nam was a life changing experience. First of all I felt right at home thanks to the welcoming attidue from absolutely everybody there. I booked a silence retreat and came one day earlier so that I had time to get to know the place. The property is newly restored and my room was fresh and clean, very comfortable bed mattress, pillow and quality bed linen which made me sleep like a baby. The garden has a lot of paths and places where you can sit down undisturbed on the benches enjoying the fig tree, yucca, cactus or one of the million different types of plants they carefully planted there. The guests have an option to help in the garden if they want to, which I’ve personally used and enjoyed a lot. The people who live there transmitted peace and calmness and where open to talk and share there life experiences. I would like to give a special thanks to Hubertus who helped me through the booking process, patiently answering all my questions, Anjanie who took an excellent care of preparing our meals which felt like a real homemade food (and it was), to Human and Tim who were guiding our meditations and to Yoginam whose presence alone made the place so special. I would love to come back next time just to disconnect and spend several days in a place where mindfulness and meditation seems so natural. Thank you again for everything and see you next time.

"Lugar espiritual sorprendente"

Me gustó mucho pasar unos días en el Monasterio conviviendo con la gente que reside allí y asistiendo a sus sesiones de meditación. Ver cómo viven y comparten residencia me cautivó. Fue un gran aprendizaje sobre respeto mutuo y trabajo en equipo . Las clases de yoga fueron adaptadas a nuestras necesidades y aprendí mucho. Todo está hecho con mucho amor y dedicación, la comida es sin duda uno de los fuertes.
