In their own words...

“Being in the Ossalma retreat in Cappadocia was an absolute delight! What made this experience truly unforgettable was the opportunity to connect with such a diverse and fascinating group of women.
Every aspect of the retreat was perfectly planned and executed, from the cozy accommodations to the exciting tours organized by Salma, our exceptional coach. The breathtaking views served as the perfect backdrop for our workouts and training sessions, leaving me feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
The Ossalma retreat was an incredible journey filled with laughter, friendship, and personal growth. I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend my time in Cappadocia.
Thank you, Ossalma, for an unforgettable experience.”

“One of my resolutions for this year was to embark on a trip with a new group of people apart from my family & friends.. and all I can say is that going to Cappadocia with
Ossalma Retreats was one of the best experiences I have had in my life.
This retreat was unlike any of my previous trips. Surrounded by the unique landscapes of Cappadocia; activities, adventures and of course bonding with a great group of ladies that made this trip so memorable..
This experience could not be possible without Salma ..whom
I would like to thank for the miticulous planning, execution and remarkable leadership.
Unlike my past travels where l often returned needing a vacation from my vacation, this retreat left me feeling energetic and active.
I Would definitely recommend going on Ossalma Retreats as l know that”

“I was living my dream!!
This retreat made me discover things that I never knew about myself, it also made me face my fears and do things that | was scared to do.
In this trip I met beautiful ladies with different ages and personalities where we shared so many jokes, laughs and of course some happy tears.
Ifelt disconnected from the world and just focused on enjoying the moments of being with this amazing company.
It was an experience that I will never forget in my whole life and would absolutely repeat it.”

“There are no words that can describe how this trip was self-enriching in so many levels. I have overcame many of my fears that was blocking me from living freely.
I'm grateful for the spritual and physical development I carried with me. This was a once in a life time dream and wouldn't ask for a better one. I would never hesitate to go through this experience again”
