The spectacular Sanctuary Retreat provides fertile ground for serenity, sacredness, and stillness. When you couple that with the powerful and ancient practices of yoga and meditation; add the transcendent sounds of gongs and singing bowls; sprinkle with an afternoon of creative expression; and top it all off with an intentional cacao ceremony; heart-opening becomes inevitable.

When all of this occurs during the full moon, magic happens.

Coming Home to Stillness was developed to bridge the gap between the harshness of traditional meditation retreats and the modern practitioner. From the fundamentals into its depths, the retreat will be systematically unravelling the mysteries and obstacles the mindfulness practitioner faces through a blend of science, humour, story and analogy to meet and placate the modern mind. Each day can be seen as experiment of self and mind with each key meditative concept given an abundance of opportunity to be experienced and embodied.
