Depth psychology and much of our self-help and personal development systems take a western approach to self-discovery, but this is only half the equation.
Imagine how poorer the world would be without the Sufi poet Rumi, Confucius, Thích Nhất Hạnh and other epoch changing thinkers such as Indian philosopher Krishnamurti who said:
In oneself lies the whole world, and if you know how to look and learn, then the door is there and the key is in your hand. Nobody on earth can give you either that key or the door to open, except yourself.
This retreat program takes you through a range of Eastern approaches for greater self-understanding and enlightenment.
You will undertake yoga classes, guided meditation, be introduced to Buddhism, learn about the chakras, experience a chakra balancing, delve into the five elements, explore your oriental astrology, Ayurveda type and more.
Our yoga and meditation retreat takes place in the bushland background of the Blue Mountains where healthy meals are provided in your package.

Balance in Yoga
Some background on Charlotte, the qualified yoga instructor delivering your yoga sessions:
My yogic journey began unknowingly as a child where I found solace from anxiety and an overactive mind by retreating to nature, where I would dance, sing and meditate.
“Yoga is the dance of every cell with the music of every breath that creates inner serenity and harmony. ~ Debasish Mridha.
Sydney Yoga Retreat
Committing to yoga as a young adult, it became a spiritual practice I could commit to, resulting in a sense of inner calm, self-trust and community I feel truly at home in.
After undertaking extensive yoga teacher training I now incorporate vinyasa, meditation, pranayama, yogic philosophy, yoga nidra and more.
The body benefits from movement. The mind benefits from stillness. ~ Sakyong Mipham
Yoga Nidra
You’ll find my yoga classes create a safe, playful, light-hearted, and welcoming space to practice yoga and reclaim inner confidence and peace.
Yoga is not a work-out, it is a work-in. And this is the point of spiritual practice; to make us teachable; to open up our hearts and focus our awareness so that we can know what we already know and be who we already are, and go slowly. ~ Rolf Gates
