Location
The venue is located 2.5 hours from Melbourne CBD. You will receive the exact location 5 days prior to the meditation date.

Nutrition
This meditation is fully catered. We will nourish our bodies with beautiful seasonal produce that is as local, organic and spray free as we can possibly source.  These detoxifying and regenerating foods support our optimum experience with these practices and help to deliver us into our next chapter sparkling with health and feeling fully fantastic.

As ever, we will be keeping our meditations small and intimate with a maximum of 20 or so participants per night. In our experience, we do more profound and brilliant work in smaller groups where participants feel safe and able to commune totally.
