What is special about the Adama Retreats experience?Adama is about the connection between transformative experiences, local culture and social impact. With us, immersion in local culture is not just a fun experience, social impact activities not only beneficial for the local communities.

What personal connection can I expect in this trip?Connection is at the heart of Adama retreats. You will connect with other group members, who share the journey with you, as well as with Ssese Islands locals, their culture and ways of being. More than anything else, You will connect with yourself, and let go into your true essence. Those connections will empower you, and foster a deeper connection between you, humanity and the world we live in.
