No, this is not a silent retreat. However, there will be moments of intentional silence woven into the weekend, including during parts of nature walks, meals, or reflection time, to support inner stillness and deeper listening.

All meals are wholesome, nourishing, and vegetarian. We will enjoy seasonal produce and comforting meals designed to support your body and spirit. We will provide gluten free and vegan options. Please let us know in advance if you have specific dietary needs and we will do our best to accommodate. However we won’t be able to accommodate severe allergy restrictions as the kitchen we are using does commonly have nuts, wheat, dairy, meat and other allergens.

Absolutely. Many people attend retreats solo, and this is a welcoming and safe space to do so. You will have plenty of time for personal reflection and will also be part of a supportive, heart-centred group.

• 2 nights accommodation at Tyraman Retreat
• All vegetarian meals (Friday dinner to Sunday lunch)
• All guided yoga, meditation, philosophy and creative sessions
• Access to hiking trails, gardens, and restful nature spaces

All rooms have comfortable single beds and are shared with a maximum of six total participants. While you will be sharing a room, Tyraman Retreat offers many spacious communal areas and peaceful private nooks, whether it’s a quiet corner on the veranda, a seat in the garden, or a spot by the fireplace, so you will always have space to retreat into stillness and enjoy personal downtime when needed.

You can arrive anytime between 3.00 pm and 5.00 pm on Friday 28 November, with an opening yoga practice commencing at 5.00 pm that afternoon. The retreat will conclude by 2.00 pm on Sunday 30 November.

Transport is not included, but we are happy to connect you with others to carpool or arrange a group transfer from Newcastle or Sydney if there is interest. Let us know upon booking if you would like help coordinating.

We understand life happens. Your $250 deposit is non-refundable, but if you need to cancel, we will do our best to fill your spot. If we can, you will receive a refund (minus deposit). We also offer the option to transfer your place to a friend.

There is limited phone reception at the property, however guest Wifi is offered. We do encourage you to take this beautiful opportunity to unplug from digital distractions and plug into yourself, nature, and presence.

You will be guided through a variety of gentle yet powerful practices:

• Grounding yoga asana
• Breathwork and meditation
• Self-inquiry and journaling
• Yogic philosophy and spiritual teachings
• Sound healing, chanting, and ceremony
• Nature walks and creative expression

Each practice supports you in remembering your wholeness and feeling connected to something greater than yourself.
