About our June Meditation Retreat
The Art of Forgiveness
Glass House Mountains Meditation Retreat
Friday 12 – Sunday 14 June
Step away from the stress and busyness of everyday life and immerse yourself in the peacefulness of a meditation retreat in the beautiful Glass House Mountains.
Set in a peaceful natural environment, this weekend offers the perfect space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with a deeper sense of inner peace. Through guided meditations and practical Buddhist teachings, you’ll be gently supported to let go of mental tension and gain a lighter, more positive perspective on life.
Letting Go of the Past…
Do you find yourself replaying painful memories? Wanting to move on, but not quite knowing how?
Many of us carry the weight of past hurts – not because we choose to, but because we haven’t yet found a way to genuinely let them go. Holding onto resentment can quietly drain our happiness, colour our relationships, and keep us tied to experiences we wish were behind us.
In this retreat, Buddhist wisdom reveals forgiveness as a powerful inner practice—one that frees your mind from pain and opens the door to peace, clarity, and joy.
Guided by Buddhist nun Gen Kelsang Ani, at this retreat you’ll gain insights into the real causes of your pain and practical ways to ease it. You’ll discover how to cultivate a mindset that leads not only to forgiveness, but eventually to compassion – even for those who have hurt you.
During this retreat, you will explore:
-
What holding onto resentment is really costing you
-
How forgiveness creates space for freedom and peace
-
Ways to put your own happiness first, without guilt
-
How to develop genuine compassion for everyone, including those who’ve caused you pain
You’ll leave with practical tools, a lighter heart, and a renewed sense of possibility – ready to create a future unburdened by the past.
A Weekend to Rest, Reflect, and Restore
The retreat begins with dinner on Friday evening and concludes with lunch on Sunday. Between sessions, enjoy plenty of time to relax, walk, rest, or simply take in the breathtaking views of the Glass House Mountains.
The retreat includes comfortable accommodation and delicious vegetarian catering—so all you need to do is arrive, relax, and allow yourself to be supported.
Whether you’re new to meditation or have an established practice, this retreat offers an opportunity to unwind deeply, heal gently, and return home with a clearer, more peaceful mind.
Make yourself at home in this peaceful setting.

About our August Meditation Retreat
Staying strong when things go wrong
Glass House Mountains Meditation Retreat
Friday 28 – Sunday 30 August
Life not going to plan? You’re not alone.
We’ve all been there – things fall apart, plans crumble, and suddenly you’re lying awake at 3am wondering why everything feels so hard. Maybe it’s work stress, relationship drama, or just that nagging feeling that life isn’t quite what you hoped it would be.
Here’s the thing: difficult situations are part of being human. But here’s what doesn’t have to be part of the package – feeling completely overwhelmed, angry, or stuck every time something goes sideways.
What if you could actually handle life’s curveballs without losing your cool?
Buddha figured out some seriously useful stuff about dealing with difficult situations – practical, down-to-earth techniques that have been helping people for thousands of years (which tells you something about how well they work).
During this retreat, you’ll discover how to:
- Stop anger and stress from hijacking your mind;
- Find genuine calm, even when everything around you is chaos;
- Actually grow stronger from the tough stuff (instead of just surviving it);
- Use simple meditation techniques that fit into real life; and
- How to stay strong when things go wrong.
Think of it as building emotional resilience – so the next time things don’t go to plan, you’ve got the tools to handle it without falling apart.
