Full Day Meditation Retreat Amongst nature in Sydney with thai buffet,coffee/tea

❤️ Recharge your mind and body with a full-day meditation retreat at the Thai temple nestled in nature. It’s a hidden gem, just waiting to be discovered 💎

**Please note that we are currently in the process of constructing a new meditation hall. There may be occasional noise during the day. However, all seated meditation sessions will be held in the smaller hall, where distractions are minimal.

This is also a beautiful opportunity to practise inner peace amidst everyday conditions.

✌️ Even with a bit of background noise, this is a chance to gently train our minds to stay centred. Life isn’t always quiet, so learning to meditate in real-world conditions helps us stay peaceful wherever we are — whether at home, at work, or in daily life.

If we can keep our minds still in the midst of noise, we can carry that calm with us into the busyness of the world. That’s the true power of mindfulness.

✨ Breathe in the fresh air, let go of daily stress, and reconnect with your inner self.

🧘‍♂️ This retreat is guided by experienced teaching monks using the Middle Way Meditation technique — a simple, universal practice suitable for all

❤️ A Space for All

As we gather in this sacred place, let us remember:

🧘‍♀️ We’re not here to convert anyone.
This isn’t about religion — it’s about learning a universal life skill: how to be still, present, cultivate inner peace and spiritual growth.

🌈 This retreat is open to people from all walks of life, regardless of age, gender, background, or beliefs. Meditation is not a religion — it’s a timeless practice that transcends boundaries and helps us connect with our true selves.

🤝 We embrace the beauty of diversity. It is through unity, respect, and shared intention that we discover deeper truths and transformation.

❣️ Why Join This Retreat?

• 💬 You’ll have the opportunity to meet the monks, learn about their way of life, and ask questions during a group discussion.

• 🕊️ It’s a perfect chance to reset — especially if solo meditation feels challenging. Join a group of kind, like-minded souls once a month to nourish your inner peace.
