Set in a completely private and sublime natural environment of Maitripa Centre in Healesville,  this retreat is a rare opportunity for us to let go of the pressures and distractions of our day-to-day lives and turn towards the clarifying wisdom of the Dharma.

The heart of our work is to open towards a deeper relationship with the essential foundation and innate intelligence of our lives.

Each day an opportunity the dive a little deeper into the intimate terrain of our bodies, hearts and minds,

gathering in and integrating the sometimes fragmented impulses in our lives into a cohesive wholeness.

Nourishment will be the main theme for this retreat.

How we make contact with the immediate felt reality of our lives and the world round us.

How we touch and are touched by life can open for us a profoundly nourishing relational exchange.

While we will be practicing some embodied movement and asana, mostly this retreat is a deep dive into the qualities of, and our relationship to contact (sparsa), intimacy and nourishment  and how available we can be for our practice.

So expect 3 days of deep rest through restoratives, yoga nidra, pranayama, meditation and inquiry as well as nourishing  time in nature.

We will learn to relax to find our home in the simple elegance of embodied living, uncontrived, open and natural.
