LA ROANE, A FUN PLACE TO BE
It’s welcoming and light-hearted with a wonderful sense of community. We do everything we possibly can to support you on your inner journey. We know that we have to be centred and loving if we are to be of service to others. To this end, we make sure that we always have some free time between each course so that we feel refreshed and ready to welcome the next group.

Anna Shamash
Arriving from the UK when she was just a babe, Anna grew up at La Roane and is delighted to have returned after several years of travelling, studying and working abroad. She has a bilingual French and Spanish degree in History from Toulouse University with her final year being in Guadalajara, Mexico.
