From the moment you step out of your car and view the expansive lake and mountain views you will have an overwhelming sense that you are exactly where you are meant to be.

With the gentle caress of air on your skin and the soft sounds of … nothingness, other than the melodic song of nature, and the expansiveness of the environment surrounding you, you realize the only map you need to find your way back to your place of stillness, is within you.

And the week ahead will guide you right there.

On the picturesque walk to your morning yoga and meditation you pause for a moment, take a slow breath and smile to yourself as the sun rises over Lake Jindabyne, and the songful sounds of a new day welcome you.

You then step inside and sit down, the external sounds begin to fade, replaced with the gentle sounds of the harmonium and Chetana welcoming you to your morning practice. 

You close your eyes and settle as you are guided into deep meditation, the internal chatter fades and a wave of bliss envelopes you. You know this is where you are meant to be. Here on this majestic mountain top, you reconnect with your joy, your stillness and your youness.

 

Mount Kosciusko is the PERFECT place to explore for
7 adventurous days if you are saying yes to…

You’re in luck! I will guide you through self-enquiry meditation practices at the foothills of mountains. Create space for self-reflection in the quietness of our hilltop lodge.

Here’s... WHY you should join us?

 
 
 
 

 
 

There is something quite special walking amongst towering mountains, underneath vast blue sky’s, and along side rambling rivers.

It encourages you to slow down and reflect on how you are living your life, and if the busyness we so easily get caught up in is serving us well.

With the breathtaking views, and sweet sound of birds chirping, you can’t help but feel your mind become peaceful, heart stir and your awareness expand into stillness. 

Picture yourself walking through alpine health, towering majestic snow gums and picnicking amongst the wildflowers of alpine mint, Billy buttons and native yam daises on one of the breathtaking walks lined up for you. 

Oh, and there maybe a spontaneous chanting session thrown into the mix amidst a cluster of granite boulders, the perfect amphitheatre for your inward journey.

When not mesmerized on one of the stunning walks in Mount Kosciusko National Park, and daily yoga and meditation practice that brings you peace, connection and happiness.

You’ll have time for a swim in the pool, a read of a good book, dabble in some painting, or you may like to explore Jindabyne, Perisha or Thredbo,  or how about luxuriate in a massage. 

 
 
 
 

So What Do You Have to Gain...

A great deal if you need some serious space and YOU time to Reconnect, Relax and Rejuvenate, as you go Deeper into the practice of meditation, and find your Stillness within.

A Little About Chetana...

My three big passions ~ being immersed in spiritually rich cultures, delving into the practices of yoga, mantra and meditation and sharing the above with others... 

I've been an avid traveller since my 20's and over the years it's shifted from adventurous travels of rafting the Zambezi and conquering mountain peaks to exploring  the inner and out landscapes of myself and spiritually rich cultures...  

I immersed myself in yogic philosophy and lifestyle for the better part of 10years living within an ashram environment in Australia, India, and Buddhist Centre in Nepal.

And I now have the pleasure of sharing these wisdom teachings, with others... 

When not leading spiritual yoga/meditation retreats in Australia, Bali, India or Nepal,  you’ll find me as a Positive Mental Health Coach mentoring and coaching women from all over the world.

Or playing my tanpura (Indian classical instrument) on the beach at sunrise...
