About Satyam Retreats
I am Nadia Turgeon, the founder of Satyam Retreats. Originally from Canada, I have spent the past five years living in Egypt, and over a decade abroad, seeking spiritual teachings, alongside a career in humanitarian work. My journey with yoga began more than 20 years ago, and it led me to deeply explore meditation, hatha yoga, and its tantric branch in Nepal, as well as ayurveda in India.
My nearly seven-year stay in Nepal and India was transformative for my personal and spiritual growth. During my time in Asia, I led numerous retreats and have been organizing trips across Asia and Egypt since 2006.
Additionally, I had the privilege of spending over two years with Canadian Indigenous peoples, including the Inuit, where I was initiated to their rich life philosophy, spiritual beliefs, and humbling resilience.
With my background as a psychotherapist, I have a deep understanding of group dynamics and the unique needs of individuals on their journey of personal and spiritual growth. This experience has been invaluable in facilitating and supporting group retreats abroad.

Our Commitment
Our company is committed to giving back to the community by supporting causes that are close to our hearts. We contribute to improving the lives of vulnerable women, protecting and caring for animals, and supporting spiritual groups in Nepal and Egypt.
Through these actions, we aim to promote compassion, dignity, and harmony among all living beings wherever we are present.
Our Mission
Satyam Retreats specializes in authentic retreats. Some retreat formats may be displayed on the website (7 days, 10 days, 14 days), but we always work with the retreat leader to offer a program that meets their expectations. Therefore, programs can be customized. Why specialize in retreats in Egypt and Nepal? Because they are two of the richest countries with spiritual history and present, coupled with great natural environments to facilitate the integration of the spiritual transmissions.
Examples of our retreat programs
From pyramids to the desert, along the Nile to the sea, or in the heart of an oasis, discover the many possibilities Egypt offers for a spiritual retreat.

Our Partners
Additionally, the Bedouin team, specialized in the Western Desert of Egypt and Sinai, has been working together for about twenty years. They know the desert and its secrets inside out and are recognized for their professionalism, attention to detail, and the quality of their services in general.
In Nepal, we collaborate with Dhanraj, an experienced mountain guide known for his calm presence, honesty, and uplifting energy.
We also partner with Yogi Prapti, whose yoga journey began as a path to heal her body and evolved into a lifelong practice of connection, self-realization, and inner peace. Her approach to yoga embodies balance, growth, and joy.
