“SAMA is a circle that moves and breathes, and is permeable. Which is very different than a container that's created to hold and to cook. It's more like a life experience. ”
— Dez Nichols on SAMA Spring 2026“There is a huge feeling of happiness inside me & I’m touched. The synchronicity of just following my thread & seeing the beauty that is unfolding all the time. That's what's happened this week, all the time.”
— Melanie SAMA Spring 2026“I feel the seeds are coming out of the Earth and I am starting to trust the roots. I don't know what flower it is yet, but I am actually starting to trust my roots in a different way, my qualities in a different way, my way of being in a different way. And... that feels kind of wild. Really beautiful. Thank you, for being such a soft medicine.”
— Elvira SAMA Spring 2026“There's something about releasing the form of how things are and staying with the essence of how it feels beyond the form and the outer layer and go to the core. And it's like, also in the form of, where does life take me? And I don't know, but I know how I want it to feel. Just being here with the spaciousness, like, yeah, I want that spaciousness. I want that ease.”
— Tut SAMA Spring 2026
I can hardly use words to describe a woman who doesn’t need to use words to transmit. She speaks through smells, touch, sounds, movements. That is how she caresses the land with her soul-being. The moon and the stars seem to bow down to her when she smiles, and the wind comes closer to listen to her whispers. A wild abandon to love fully, observe fully, and create fully is all that she knows, and who she is. Thanks you for everything seen and unsee, in silence, I honor you. — Pluma Heather Godwin —
Komala Lyra
I am a merging of cultures, ethnicities, learnings… It does not matter what I have accomplished, but how I live each day… I choose simplicity, nature, silence, sincerity, gentleness, intensity, remembering the gap in between the breaths as the returning point to each moment. I chose to pierce the challenges with openness, curiosity, willingness to see beyond my veils of protection. I am grateful for the amazing gifts I have received throughout this life’s journey, the humans who I love and who have loved me deeply. Having nothing to offer or promise, I offer what continues to nourish my body-heart-soul. So, I share, overflow, inspiration, gratitude! May be also useful for you. In the the realization that we are tiny particles in an infinite cosmic soup…my single actions may not have great impact, but the convergence of many tiny particles gathering momentum may bring some changes. SAMA programs create and nourish spaces where love, care, beauty, awareness of our inner and outer nature, invite sanity, and tuning in. There is nothing that can be offered that you already don’t have. I can only recognize what we already have: intrinsic qualities of your unique being… We can possibly peel together the layers that hide the core. I am a fusion, fusion of races, backgrounds, inner and outer landscapes, languages, experiences… Usually, my programs attracted a precious mix of humans from around the planet. If you are ready to feel what is possible when limitations return to fluidity, it will be a pleasure to meet you soon!
Komala is the creator of SAMA and coordinator of this journey. She brings over four decades of experience facilitating a variety of programs embracing Ayurveda, Yoga, Tantra as core practices. Throughout the seasons, Komala inspires recognition of each person’s essential qualities and soul expression, in exploration of presence, sensitivity, sensuality, and erotic aliveness. Each energetic landscape invites a deeper gaze, with playfulness, ease, and clarity; yet, facing the challenges that we usually disregard.
