Craving a reset? Ready to get your happy back?
Our Inner Joy Retreat is a soul-nourishing weekend designed to bring you back to yourself — gently, joyfully, and in the most beautiful setting.
This 2-night yoga and meditation retreat in the Blue Mountains is Happy Buddha’s signature experience.
You’ll enjoy yoga, guided meditation, inspiring workshops including African drumming, wholesome vegetarian meals and the chance to reconnect — with yourself, others, and the world around you.
Held in our peaceful retreat centre overlooking the valley at Wentworth Falls, it’s a welcoming, no-judgement space where you can slow down, breathe deeply, and feel held.
No experience needed — just come as you are 🥰💫
Take life slower, breathe more deeply with intention and soak in the beauty of your surroundings.

“Absolutely amazing retreat in the gorgeous Blue Mountains. I highly recommend as a quick getaway to really switch off from your daily life. Experience nature, yoga, meditation and clean, healthy, wholesome food. There is beautiful scenery to take in, the people are lovely, the owner is super nice and friendly volunteers who make you feel so welcome. The classes are great, and teachers are supportive especially for first timers. If you want to take a break, and a little time for yourself then book this in!”

How our Inner Joy retreat works
It’s a great chance to enjoy your own company or share experiences with like-minded people. It’s your retreat, your way.
The retreat is perfect for individuals or couples attending for the first time, seasoned retreat goers, yoga and meditation lovers or those wanting a break from the daily grind. Many of our guests love it so much they return more than three times!
We hold the retreat two times a week for your convenience. Choose from a 2-night midweek or 2-night weekend retreat check in.
Throughout your Inner Joy retreat, you’ll have lots of opportunities to participate in different activities, rest or explore nature walks.
Soak in your natural surrounds, experience different styles of yoga and guided meditation, and eat fresh, healthy food cooked with real passion and care. Swim leisurely in our pool or the nearby waterfall.
Massages are also available and are 1-hour in length ~ more information will be emailed to you upon your retreat confirmation. We have a very friendly communal house cat so please note if you have allergies.

“I have now been twice to Happy Buddha with my partner. There is a welcoming vibe and the staff and volunteers clearly love what they do. The meals are nourishing and fresh, the rooms are quite comfortable and have such a great view of the mountain region. Athil and the team take the time to share their experience and welcome the experience of others and take the time to answer any questions anyone has. I have looked at other retreats but I am so happy at what I am getting here and it’s a new and refreshing experience every time. Thank you!”
