I was wanting to find a secluded location to have my first 'silent' retreat and God led me to Vartamana. Little did I realise that, not only was I going to find a place of peace and beauty but a welcoming healing retreat for my broken back as well as comforts to refresh my soul. Vartamana was perfect for my whole being! Blessings upon this place and people.
