The retreat was an experience of a lifetime. Life changing for me. I've never felt so comfortable, cared for and supported, as I did at the Dru Retreat. I didn't know anyone, I came alone, however I felt like I belonged from the moment I arrived, safe and nurtured. Kindness, community and growth is what I will take away. I cannot wait for the next one. Trudy A.

Where

The beautiful Maitripa Centre—a unique interfaith retreat centre originally founded on Tibetan Buddhist values. Surrounded by 53 acres of lush forest in the Yarra Valley. The centre is simple and imbued with spiritual charm.

Accommodation and meals

The retreat includes 3 nights’ accommodation with choice of your own room or a shared room. Enjoy delicious, wholesome vegetarian meals made with love.

The Dru yoga retreat in Healesville was a wonderful experience that won't be forgotten. It provided me with the opportunity to be with like-minded people and dive as deep into the spiritual aspects of yoga as I felt comfortable. The amazing team led us through a rich program that has inspired and encouraged me to continue on the spiritual path.  Sharon H.
