Retreats

A retreat is not a holiday - it's an adventure of spirit!

In today's world we don't often make ourselves a priority - forgetting that to be able to offer strength, love and happiness to others we must first cultivate it within. A retreat is a commitment to connect with your best self, a commitment to a live a life you love.

Where is it, and what's the accommodation like?

This retreat will be held at The Monastery - in the rooms where traditionally priest trained. Now the facilities are open to all - for residential retreats or training. It's a gorgeous venue with beautiful sacred gardens to wonder through in your free time. A perfect place to disconnect from the world and take a journey within.

The rooms are hotel style - cosy, neat and clean consisting of 2 single beds with shared bathrooms. For those that like their own space we recommend upgrading to a single room.

Linen, towel and soap are provided.

When does it start - and what about dinner?

The weekend will open for check in from 4pm Friday and the Welcome ceremony will begin at 6pm. (please arrive by 5.50pm to ensure you're settled and we can start on time)

Finger food (dips, crackers, cheese, dried fruit and nuts etc) will be served during our welcome - if you would like something more substantial please either bring, or go and get some food beforehand.

The retreat will finish approx. 3.30/4pm Sunday

What's the food like?

2 words - Simply Delicious!

Skillful MIND retreat attendees rave about the food while on retreat - the only complaint is that there's too much yummy goodness!

The menu has been designed as healthy and wholesome in a home cooked style. It's simple but is full of flavour and you body will thank you for the nourishment. See top right for a link to sample menus. Our venues are also happy to cater for Lactose/Gluten Free, Vegetarian, Vegan or any special dietary requirements you may have.

Please note: while on retreat we recommend you choose the vegetarian option (if you are not already). This gives your digestion time to also have a break, and in many philosophies it's said that a meat free diet is more conducive to a meditation and yoga practice. Vegetarian can be chosen in dietary requirements when booking.

How much does it cost?

The cost of retreat will depend on where it is, and what accommodation option you choose. At The Monastery the prices are:

$697pp for single room (limited)

$627pp for twin share (separate male/female)

$532pp for Non-residential (breakfasts not included)
