Your retreat journey starts here…
One of the most important things you can do in life is to take time out to replenish yourself.
Our retreat programs have been designed to nourish your mind and body, to feel a sense of renewal and tap back into the inner happiness that you deserve.
Whilst you are here, allow yourself to enter into a world of being, rather than doing, deepen your inquiry into a mindfulness practice, to find your inner joy (what sparks you!) and learn how to more effectively cope with the demands of your daily life. We offer all of this and more in the surrounds of the stunning natural landscape of the Blue Mountains, NSW Australia.

Looking to experience an amazing yoga and meditation retreat close to Sydney? Despite giving the impression that your are far from civilisation, our retreat centre is only 90 minutes drive from Sydney, meaning you can easily factor in a short retreat experience!!

Combine yoga & meditation insights with real life
Our retreat facilitators have spent many years evolving retreat programs designed to enhance your sense of well-being and promote the flow of prana. Prana is the ancient Sanskrit word for life-force, also known in other eastern cultures as chi or ki. Nurturing this energy brings huge benefits in terms of physical, mental and emotional healing, which will remain with you long after you return to the daily routines of the real world.
Each retreat includes a yoga and meditation insights ~ where we help you to understand how meditation & mindfulness can reduce stress, and increase clarity in your every day lives.
