Leave feeling inspired, refreshed and equipped with new ways to bring balance into your heart and mind, and your home and work life.
THE PLACE
Nestled amongst the trees in Healesville, Maitripa reflects a simple yet homely beauty, almost monastic in tone. A place to retreat, to restore, to reconnect to silence and the wonders of nature, to share stories and timeless practices.
For those able to arrive earlier your room will be available from 4pm. However, we will not be meeting as a group until 5pm.
All rooms have heating/cooling and shared bathrooms.
THE FOOD
All food will be vegetarian/vegan and delicious. Any special dietary requirements can be catered for with prior notice. As well as main meals there will be hot beverages available throughout the day.
THE YOGA + MEDITATION
This retreat, which is suitable for all levels of ability, offers a great opportunity for you to immerse yourself in a yoga and mindfulness practice and explore how this then affects your whole being. For those who do not know Jacqui & Shimon, they have over 60 years of collective experience in teaching, studying and practicing Yoga. Shimon’s good humour will lift your spirit and Jacqui’s depth of Spiritual wisdom will leave you quiet within. They will both take your Yoga practice to the next level.
The retreat offers space to celebrate the simple and profound peace and joy that comes when we reconnect to the deepest part of us, untouched as it remains by external circumstances.
