“I stayed at the SevaLight Centre in Halfmoon Bay for 5 nights as part of a personal retreat. I was very exhausted when I arrived feeling quite unsettled. My goal was to rest and deepen my mediation practice. I was able to accomplish both under the loving care of the facility management.
I enjoyed delicious homemade meals, walks in the woods, swimming in the near by lake and increasing my daily meditation practice significantly. I also participated in a silent retreat for the last part of my stay. I would recommend this facility for both individual and group bookings. Enjoy a break from stress and daily demands!”
