It’s been so long since we’ve been able to fully connect; to be held in a space of presence and share in deep communion with each other.
We’ve been through a time of great division and isolation over the last couple of years. And now is our opportunity to come together again and unite in sacred presence.
Isira is feeling that the space is opening for us to create a retreat over 5 days between Wed 22 and Sun 26 June. One where we can sit in deep presence; nurture ourselves and share and strengthen our connection.
As you know, retreats are not only a place for us to connect with deep wisdom and truth; they are also a place for us to nurture and catalyse change within ourselves that leads to positive change in our community and the world at large.
The focus of the retreat is Sacred Living – how to relate sacredly with our self and life.
You will deepen in self awareness and presence through ‘dadirri’ (deep listening), immersive practices, meditation and sacred ceremony. These practices will be based in indigenous lore and universal truths, connecting us to nature, each other, our selves and the cosmos.
The Retreat with Isira begins on Wed 22 June at 5pm and finishes on Sun 26 June at 1.30pm (after lunch). Registration for the retreat is between 2-4pm on Wed 22 June, before the program begins.
Our daily program together starts early in the morning and finishes in the evening. You will experience:
Immersive practices, meditation, sacred ceremony and question and answer sessions with Isira. These practices will be based in indigenous lore and universal truths, connecting us to nature, each other, our selves and the cosmos. You will be lovingly held in sacred space at sacred sites and in a comfortable indoor setting throughout the retreat.
Other movement practices with an instructor.
Other activities and self time for silence and inner reflection.
Delicious meals that are designed for thorough cleansing and detoxifying.
Comfortable accommodation in either a shared or single room.
Your group sessions with Isira will be held on…
Wednesday afternoon/evening – 2 group sessions
Thursday, Friday and Saturday – 4 group sessions each day
Sunday – 2 group sessions
These sessions with Isira will be held both indoors and outside in the natural surroundings (weather permitting).
The retreat is being held at the beautiful Hunter Valley Retreat Centre about 2 hours drive from Sydney. A wonderful Hunter Valley hideaway set on 200 acres of beautiful Australian bush-land at the foot of the majestic Watagan Mountains.
