Set on a beautiful rural property just outside of Melbourne, the Centre borders on State Forest. It is a teaching institution that presents residential personal-development programs throughout the year. These programs are designed to transform your life into greater grace, ease, bliss and abundance. We work with releasing long held traumas and karmas in the body to allow the fuller movement of spirit and grace in your life. Our programs are on the cutting-edge of the New Age and are designed to skilfully and precisely shift your awareness into new levels and dimensions. We are always excited with these programs and in awe of the results of this work, and find that people who attend these programs achieve profound change in their lives. We look for people with courage who wish to make such changes. We offer possibilities for greater love, light, laughter and joy in your life. We know that you will enjoy your time here with us. And we look forward to connecting with you.

Women's Mysteries 5 Day Retreat - 6th-10th June
Women's Mysteries is a five-day residential retreat, which takes women into the mysteries of the feminine and touches upon the significant points throughout a woman's life cycle. It is a spiritual initiatory process into ancient women's knowledge. As a woman comes to understand her own journey she is able to complete the unfinished transitions of the past that have been barriers and interferences to her natural unfolding. Women with babes-in-arms are welcome on the retreat.

If you want peace and purity, tear away your coverings.
A certain Sufi tore his robe in grief, and the tearing brought such relief
he gave the robe the name faraji, which means 'ripped open,' or 'happiness' or one who brings the joy of being opened.
...
If you want peace and purity, tear away your coverings. This is the purpose of emotion, to let a streaming beauty flow through you. Call it spirit, elixir, or the original agreement between yourself and God.
Opening into that gives peace, a song of being empty, pure silence.
(Rumi "The Soul of Rumi")
