Peaceful Oasis in Ha Noi. - My husband and I enjoyed our experience at the Pagoda. We did the half day program. Naya and our other guide were very knowledgeable, sincere and gentle. We were able to try several meditation techniques and learn about Buddah and basic information about Buddhist philosophy. Also an incredible vegetarian lunch was served that included many delicious dishes. I highly recommend this experience for those interested in learning more and finding a peaceful oasis in the heart of Ha Noi.

Very enjoyable half day retreat! - We had such a great experience on this retreat! Our guides were so friendly and patiently answered all of our (many) questions. I appreciated all the different activities, the introduction to Buddhism concepts and meditation, and being able to have great conversation with our guides. I would highly recommend this experience if you visit Hanoi.

Finding stillness and friendship - As a beginner in meditation, this retreat was exactly what I needed. It gave me a deeper understanding of both the practice and the philosophy behind it. What made the experience even more special the guide, Hieu. She was incredibly patient, gentle, and encouraging, which made it easy for me to ask questions and truly relax into the process. Her presence created a peaceful and safe space for learning and self-discovery. We practiced several types of meditation—including sitting, chanting, walking, and Qi Gong—which allowed me to experience how different methods can bring focus and clarity in unique ways. The walking meditation helped me feel more grounded and connected, the sitting meditation deepened my sense of stillness, and the Qi Gong practice brought a calming energy to both body and mind. One of the most unexpected and heartwarming parts of the retreat was making a new friend—Hieu herself. Beyond being a wonderful guide, she became someone I genuinely connected with, and I’m so grateful for that. We even shared a lovely dinner together at the end of the retreat, which made the whole experience feel even more personal and meaningful. Overall, this retreat gave me not only the tools to start a meditation practice but also a meaningful introduction to Buddhist principles. I'm very thankful for the experience and for Hieu’s friendship and guidance. Highly recommended for anyone starting their meditation journey.
