A Day of Inner Peace
Take a step back from the busyness of life and immerse yourself in a day of peace, reflection, and inspiration. This retreat is designed to help you reconnect with your inner self through meditation, music, and sound healing. Whether you’re new to meditation or looking to deepen your practice, this retreat offers a welcoming and supportive environment for all.
Morning Session (10:00 AM–12:00 PM): Introduction to Meditation
The retreat begins with an introduction to meditation, followed by a series of guided practices:
- Guided Meditations: Learn simple yet powerful techniques to quiet the mind and connect with your inner peace

- Mantra Meditation: Discover the power of sacred sounds and learn how to use mantras to calm the mind and uplift the spirit
Lunch Break (12:00–1:00 PM): Nourish Your Body and Explore
As part of the retreat, we will take a break to enjoy a delicious vegetarian lunch at The Lotus-Heart, a serene and inspiring space designed to nourish both body and soul. Lunch is $25 per person and will be lovingly prepared to energise you for the afternoon session. After lunch, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the adjoining gift shop and health store, offering a range of unique items, books, and wellness products to inspire your spiritual journey.
Afternoon Session (1:00 PM–3:00 PM): Deepening Your Inner Connection
