During our open weekends you can craft your own self-retreat as a time for quiet reflection and personal practice. All meals and bottomless tea and coffee are included.
To support your self-retreat we have the following optional experiences on offer:
- Sound healing session with Paul Carlos. (Sound healing is a wellness practice that uses sound and vibration to support relaxation, balance and a sense of wellbeing.)
- Yoga / Chi Kung
- Forest bathing (from the Japanese practice Shinrin-yoku: the act of slowly and mindfully spending time in a forest or natural setting to support wellbeing.)
- Introduction to meditation by Mervyn Croft, resident teacher.
- Morning and evening meditations in the meditation hall.
- Guided 45min hike (subject to weather and availability of facilitator).
- Longer hike to Dome Pools, Emerald Pools or Castle Gorge. (MCSA permits are required.)
