i left a little bit late.. and got there when it was much colder than 5 degrees and pitch black!!
My room.. all by myself was beautiful! Electric blankets helped! and the bed were quite comfy!
Bummy yoga clothes
View out my door..
The meditation hall and reception
Dining room.. with a fireplace!
The energy in this place is amazing! Its so peaceful and full of love..
They had fresh spring water from the property you could drink!
I did a course on "transitions" it was pretty hard for me as it was about moving forward and how you have to deal with feelings you may have supressed in order to move on.. Something i have been avoiding for many years. I needed to do it! and i know itll take me a while to actually go through all the feelings but i can do it over time now with what i have learned from the course.. theres no rush and you should never be ashamed of expressing your feelings.. not expressing your feelings can result in alot of other problems.. what i discovered was i was so afraid of how much it hurt to delve into them that i avoided it and tried to fill the hole with other things.. binge eating.. alcohol.. excessive exercise.. sex.. distracting myself from what i had to do. I cried alot over the weekend and ive noticed how much i have been holding my feelings back. It was cleansing and i feel a little lighter as a result! =)The meditation room where we did all our sessions.. The floor was even heated!
The food was vegetarian and most of it was grown on the property.. it was so beautiful and i didnt even miss the meat! I was constantly worrying about how many carbs i was consuming however haha weightloss junkie in me! Im very tempted to adopt a Pescetarian lifestyle! No meat just fish! and no dairy! but its a little daunting as all i know is cooking meat! I'm going to researched some new recipes and have a go at some vegetarian cooking! Maybe just start off with every second night veggo!
Breakfast gluten free soy based porridge and the view from the dining room
Nicest peanut butter ever!!!
Nothing like a morning bushwalk!
More food.. salad and curried veggie bake mmMMmm
Little bit obsessed with green tea! kiwi fruit mmMMmmm
A beautiful sunset!
Yummy candlelit silent dinner.. it was quite peaceful!
So much goodness! The soup was delicious!
My lovely view while i sipped my tea
A blessing from the owner.. Ganesh the elephant god is all about over coming obstacles..
We did alot of meditation which was really relaxing.. so in between the sessions we would meditate atleast twice and in the morning and at night there was special guided meditations..
I recommend it for everyone! Even if your not really into meditation they are very good at easing you into it! They have all different courses and include day courses! Here is the website for all information!
They are a community based group and dont charge for retreats.. simply ask for a donation if youre willing <3
i will definately be doing more of these!
