Spend a few days in the surroundings of the beautiful Wombat Forest, slow walks, nature spaces and yoga practices to restore and realign oneself.
I return to Rocklyn Ashram approximately every 8 weeks for 5 days to escape the chaos of life and use the beautiful surroundings, peace & quiet to relax, reflect & reset……. Being so close to nature and off grid is just a wonderful opportunity to look inside oneself and take a break from the world. Visitor Aug 23
