The retreat uses drumming circles, sharing circles, and meditation talks to teach you how to better get out of your head and into the present.

Set on 2.5 hectares of garden, and nestled in the Southern Grampians three hours from Melbourne, the retreat runs three-, five- and six-day programs.

In between classes, lace up your boots for a mountain walk, book a massage or check out a nearby cafe or restaurant. The cost: Prices start at $690 per person for the weekend for a twin-share room. If you aren’t with a friend or partner, the retreat will pair you with someone (private king rooms for one guest start from $990 for the weekend). The rate includes all meals and yoga classes.

Weekend retreats feature the usual yoga class suspects of Hatha and Nidra, as well as the slightly less traditional Karma.

Choose from yoga, meditation or cleansing courses. All include a silent meditation walk through the forest, an intro class to different types of meditation, and plenty of time for self-reflection.
