Reverence Retreat

About The Retreat

“Reverence Retreat” is on this year!

Friday, Sep 22, 2023, 4:00 PM – Wednesday, Sep 27, 2023, 1:00 PM

A Healing Retreat to support the integration of this Body-Mind Experience.

Come to experience the stillness of your true nature – the awareness, within which everything appears. There is attention to the inner awareness of being.

During the retreat, we will rest in the sanctity of now.

Embody the concept that you are already home & already free and experience a peaceful state of reverence.

Reverence is a deep respect for yourself, others and all things.

The Reverence Retreat will commence with a Welcome to Country by Uncle Andrew Johnston - CEO Gugin Gudduba Local Aboriginal Land Council.

About The Venue

Arcoora applies best practices in holistic land management and small-scale agriculture, transforming the former Vajradhara Gonpa and surrounding land and forest as a training ground for Earth Arts and Village-mindedness.

The spirit work that has taken place here resounds.

Arcoora Incorporated is a not-for-profit community organisation that listens to nature and shows respect for this place’s ancestors – past, present and emerging- by stewarding the former Vajradhara Gonpa and surrounding wilderness according to ecological principles and values.

Aligned with our predecessors and our devotion to this property as a sacred site, this event is drug and alcohol-free.

The existing infrastructure has been inherited from our Buddhist predecessors, originally developed by Siddhartha’s Intent Australia. The rustic buildings include the ‘Gonpa’ (temple), a large commercial kitchen and dining hall, dormitory accommodation for up to 25 people, several small cabins and a comfortable and modern retreat accommodation suitable for teachers and facilitators. The campground includes basic toilets and showers and can accommodate 40 campsites.
