Our Reflections
"What an amazing location and amazing facilitators. I felt so supported to really let go of all I have been carrying that has stopped me being truly present, improving my life & meditation practice. Inspired! Thankyou."
“Just wonderful, thankyou. I loved the walk to the lookout and the temple vibes and tea... what nice taste. Felt like a dream. I love how understated you guys are, yet you over deliver. Great value, thanks heaps."
"I really needed this. I appreciate so much the little touches. Your care, your temple, your wisdom. I feel very blessed to be a part of this and inspired to continue deepening in presence. Much love."

content
​
The practice of Tai Chi / Qi Gong informs us how to access and develop deep restorative states that replenish health, energy and mood; as well as showing us how to find harmony in our relationship to ourselves, each other and our place within the Cosmos. These insights can be taken with you for further personal practice, and applied to all areas of your life.
​
The Tea Ceremony offers a relaxed setting to enjoy quiet revitalization, and promotes the qualities of harmony, respect, vitality and tranquility.
​
Our Sound Healing offers an opportunity for deep yin, receptive, savasana mediation. The power of sound entrains the brain to focus on something other than its own thoughts and offers a gateway to more serene brain chemistry.
​
Some light Breathwork will provide an important engagement with our physiology and activate high doses of oxygen and focused presence to prepare the body for greater states of consciousness.
​
Satsang is an ancient wisdom tradition where community congregate and use conversation to uncover deep Truths. Through the power of collective intent and spiritual wisdom in the room, Truth arrives and illuminates the hearts and minds of its participants.
​
Additional meditative practices we explore on the day can include divination techniques, accessing the divine consciousness for personal counsel & enquiry; social interaction, for subtle reflections of our own psyche; time in nature immersed in the timeless wonder of the wild; and a light lunch to carefully and mindfully observe how we nourish our bodies mind and spirit.
