The Old Monastery Stroud is a unique, tranquil retreat space located in the magnificent foothills of the Barrington Tops just three hours drive from Sydney and an hour north of Newcastle. This idyllic location provides the perfect venue for a nourishing weekend retreat that will leave you feeling rested, rejuvenated and ready for whatever life presents.

Inviting and supporting you to nourish your natural capacity for mindful living, Sharn has designed a program** that includes guided meditation, mindful movement, walking, speaking, listening, observing and eating, gratitude and forgiveness. 

"I enjoyed the rhythm of the days, the gentle practice and the kindness displayed. I wish it was longer, a way of life …" – Cariad Kilby, RN Retiree

Most importantly, this retreat will give you time to be with yourself and by yourself, to rediscover what really matters. You will open to what is calling for your attention, what resonates and what inspires. You will learn strategies for transforming what no longer serves you well, and for approaching the opportunities and challenges that life offers with calm, clarity and confidence.

"This time it all clicked for me. I didn’t struggle too much with my mind or pain. I wish it didn’t have to end." – Julia Driscoll, Journalist
