We would like to thank all the people who attended The Big Retreat and Music for Meditation. We were very happy with both events and have had great feedback.

The Big Retreat was a rejuvenating three days in the hills of Jamieson. We had a full program of sitting and walking meditation, sound meditation, Qi Gong, bush walks, dancing and lots of free time. The food was amazing, thanks to Vanitta Hayzelle. Special thanks also to Rita Cattivera for helping facilitate and bringing amazing movement meditations into the program.

Stay tuned for the next Big Retreat.

Music For Meditation

Our second concert at Federation Square boasted blissful music and an uplifting ambience. Eleven intuitive musicians provided an unique sound tapestry for our audience of 250 people.

A special thank you to MC Carmen Warrington for maintaining the flow of the evening and taking us into states of bliss with her guided meditations. We would also like to thank the other musicians: David Jones, Invention in Time, Anne Norman, Jess Ipkendanz, Peter Roberts and Ambient World. Your music and energy was world class and your performances memorable. We would also like to thank the audience for helping to create the profoundly peaceful atmosphere that could be felt throughout Federation Square.
