Where there is peace and meditation, there is neither anxiety nor doubt.
– St. Francis de Sales
During these modern times, people are always in a rush, always occupied with work, with errands and chores, and of course, taking care of
the family, especially the kids and the elderly. It has been proven that everybody needs to take a break from time to time. To focus on
oneself. To relax. To unwind. To release frustrations, tensions and stresses. Else, the body and mind will snap, resulting to illness.

1. Mindfulness Meditation Retreats
Also known as Jhana Grove Meditation Retreat, this centre is run by Buddhist monks with a intention to educate people on the basics of
meditation.
This place is ideal for deeper meditation work and for you to get away and explore your inner side.
The meals are very basic and they do serve sugar-rich snacks too. I recommend you take your own nut and seed mix so you can have a healthier
alternative.
Bookings are on a first come first serve basis so get in early.
Also there is a wait list for cancellations to be filled. You can get lucky if you are willing to go on late notice.
Each room is single and then there is a large communal area for group work and meals.
Location: Serpentine, 1 hr southeast of Perth
Rates: Basically donation (9 day retreat $280)
