Luminous Rest – Only 5 glamping tents remain

A Winter Immersion Retreat in Tantric Meditation & Yoga Nidra
📅 June 27-29, 2025 | 📍 Paperbark Camp, 571 Woollamia Rd, Woollamia NSW 2540, Wandra Wandian Country
A beautiful 2.5-hour drive south of Sydney

This is an invitation to tend to the winter fire—to gather and co-create a sacred container, a space woven with the most precious ingredients for renewal. Together, we align with nature’s hum, dissolving tension, and returning to the ground luminosity that is always present beneath the layers of the mind.

The ground luminosity is where we touch down when there’s a loosening of all concepts—when we declutter enough to taste the vastness that is already here.

In the stillness of winter, we will receive and embody the living wisdom of the Himalayan masters, passed down through time-tested meditations, Yoga Nidra, pranayama (breath control & expansion), gentle asana, and contemplative practice.

This is a journey of direct experience—a laid-back yet profound immersion into Vedanta, Tantra, Patanjali, and the Buddhist teachings, woven into the fabric of your being through subtle practices that dissolve limitations, expand consciousness, and transform the way you experience yourself and life.

At the heart of this retreat lies a rare Yoga Nidra practice from Swami Rama—one that reveals your own healing image, a gateway to activating your body's innate capacity for self-regulation and healing.

Who Is This Retreat For?

This retreat is inclusive to all levels—whether you are new to meditation and Yoga Nidra or have an established practice. No prior experience is needed.

Luminous Rest is for those who:

• Feel the need to slow down and step out of the endless cycle of doing

• Crave deep rest & renewal for body, mind, and energy

• Wish to connect with ancient meditation traditions in an accessible, embodied way

• Want to learn timeless tools to support emotional well-being & nervous system regulation

• Are ready to step into a sacred space—one designed for stillness, presence, and transformation

The Science of Meditation

Meditation and Yoga Nidra are not only deeply restorative but are scientifically proven to increase grey matter density in the brain, particularly in areas responsible for emotional regulation, self-awareness, and cognitive function. Studies show that these practices support the nervous system in returning to homeostasis, reducing chronic stress and enhancing overall well-being.

To ensure these teachings continue to unfold long after we part, you will receive a personal recording for your home sadhana.
