Weekend Retreats

The art of letting go

Friday 2 - Sunday 4 May

This retreat will explore the art of living in the present. It is said that the past is history, the future a mystery and this moment in time a gift; this is why it is called the present. Holding on can affect our health and how we live, love and see the world. The art of letting go will use meditation as an exploratory tool to accept the past, transform the present and create a positive and vital future.

Don’t get mad, get wise
Friday 4 - Sunday 6 July

Anger takes on many forms, both subtle and overt. Although often regarded as necessary or inevitable, the damage it causes can run deep. There are ways to dissolve anger, to restore inner equilibrium, and heal even long term wounds. There are also ways to remain unaffected by the anger of others. On this retreat we will explore how anger can be overthrown by a greater power and learn how the force of anger can be managed with meditation.

Silent Bliss
Friday 19 - Sunday 21 September

Find your inner peace during a weekend of silence in the beautiful Gold Coast hinterland. Silence is not simply a matter of not talking, but rather a state of equilibrium that can emerge and develop with the right attention in the right environment. Silence is the original nature of the human spirit, the soul. Experience peace and quiet at this silent weekend retreat.

The Art of Self-Healing
Friday 12 - Sunday 14 December

With gentle, professional guidance this retreat will offer you the time to explore your life experiences in a positive way through creative arts and meditation. Through this process you will discover your own unique tools of self-healing. Don’t miss this great opportunity to reawaken your inner-potential in a fun and creative way..
