For the last 3.5 years every Sunday morning we’ve come together as a community for group meditation. What started as a handful of dedicated people has grown into a diverse, curious and evolving group who continue to show up with enthusiasm every week.

Today we sent off who will undertake initiator training in India alongside .harding.18

It’s so exciting to see our community of teachers growing and the ripple effect is real.

If you are meditation curious come down and see why so many Shoalhaveners are picking up the practice. Our next in person intro talk is Sunday Feb 1, 10am at El Horses. DM for more details or arrange a phone call.

Why go on a retreat? 

If 2025 was anything to go by, the rate of change continues to increase. And when we keep doing what we’ve always done, we keep getting the same results. At a certain point, if we want something different, we have to do something different.

As the world continues to heat up, we can choose to do the opposite. To retreat, turn inward, and cool down. Not to escape life, but to build the capacity to meet it more consciously, and to return steadier, clearer, and less reactive.

Rounding retreats and advanced knowledge weekends offer a way to do this. They allow you to spend extended time with yourself, deepen your experience of meditation, and be with others who are also curious to go deeper.

With that in mind, we’re excited to share what we have planned for 2026. We’d love to share these spaces with you.

Slide into our DM’s for more details.

A breath of fresh air. A little excursion into nature. Group med gone wild.

We’re taking a month off social media to rest a little. Group meds will continue every Sunday morning at Nowra Library meeting rooms. Keep an eye on the WhatsApp for the details.

For the last 3 and half years every Sunday morning we’ve gathered as a community for group meditation and Vedic knowledge at our beloved studio in Nowra CBD.

When we gather as humans we naturally syhchrisie our brain and physiological state with those around us. So when we’re de-exciting the nervous system around other people at group meditation the effect is enhanced. Many people report deeper meditation and enhanced feeling of calm.

Sadly, we’re moving on from our space but group meds will continue, they are our gift to the community that has embraced this practice. We have one last group med in the space this weekend. If you have learnt Vedic Meditation come join us.

We also have two more four session courses to learn Vedic Meditation left, if you’ve been meaning to join us, now is the time!

Thank you for the guest appearance and the group of dedicated meditators who made it to our penultimate group mediation and knowledge session yesterday.

MEET TONY - He works as an aged care employee, supporting the people and systems that keep this important sector running. Tony came to meditation to find a way to settle his overactive mind and create more calm in his daily life.

Since starting his practice, Tony has noticed real shifts. He is sleeping better, his energy levels are higher, and he finds it easier to focus on the task at hand without getting caught up in mental noise. Meditation has given Tony a sense of steadiness and clarity that carries through both his work and personal life.

Thanks Tony for showing up for your community, your family and yourself.

HEY JOH - 3 years ago Joh Jarvis invited me to assist her on her annual Blue Mountains Rounding / Meditation retreat. Being a fresh initiator I jumped at the chance. After the retreat we reflected on what a good team we made and just how easy everything was. We decided to team up and co-host together the next year. At the end of the month we’ll embark on our fourth elaboration, this year spanning two weekends and including a 5 day option.

Why are retreats so good? My favorite part is spending time with quality people who are all looking to unwind. Many report feeling like they’ve had 6 months of rest in just 4 days and leave feeling rejuvenated, clear and inspired. This year we’re working with to deliver delicious Ayurvedic food. Plus our retreat centre is ringed by The Blue Mountains National Park.

If you’ve been considering learning mediation and want to do so in a retreat setting this is hands down the best way to immerse yourself. If you’ve already learnt and want to go deeper well then this is the perfect opportunity. We have a handful of shared loft style rooms left available. DM me for the details.

MEET SYLVAIN. He is a fresh food importer and distributor.

Sylvain first heard about Vedic Meditation through his friend Jayson, who had been speaking highly of it for some time. Eventually, his curiosity got the better of him. He wanted to discover something he knew nothing about and to explore a completely new experience.

Since beginning his practice, Sylvain has found he approaches challenges with more calm, sleeps better, and feels a greater sense of peace throughout his day. For him, meditation has been both a refreshing change and an opportunity to learn in a way that has enriched his life.

Thanks Sylvain for showing up for yourself and your family 🫶🏻

MEET NATHAN. He works as a Flood Engineer.

Nathan came to meditation wanting to be more present with his family, more connected with himself, and ultimately happier.

So far, he has noticed small but steady improvements in all of these areas, with the biggest shift being a deeper connection to himself.

Thanks Nathan for showing up for you and your family. And the ripple effect it has (insert flood joke).
