Vibration of the Heart
Winter Retreat
Join us for a nourishing and heart-opening 3-day retreat this Winter. A journey taking you into your heart and the depths of your being at the Kamalashila Tibetan Buddhist Centre, nestled at the foot of Gulaga Mountain.
As winter deepens and the world grows quieter, we are gently called inward. At Kamalashila Buddhist Centre in Tilba, held by rolling green hills and wide winter skies, we gather to slow right down, warm the body, and rest in the heart.
This Winter Yoga Retreat is an invitation to step out of the busyness of everyday life and into a slower, kinder rhythm. A space to soften, to be held, and to reconnect with the warmth and quiet wisdom already within you. Winter teaches us how to rest and how to tend the inner flame and listen deeply to what is ready to emerge.
Our days unfold gently through Meditation & Traditional Hatha Yoga. A Yin Yoga and Sound Journey carries us into stillness, where vibration and silence meet. Long-held Yin postures invite the body to soften at its deepest layers, creating space for release, clarity, and ease.
We will share Inner Exploration workshops, a nurturing Massage Workshop, and moments of honest connection. Ecstatic Dance brings warmth, joy, and aliveness, while evenings by the fire with Kirtan and singing open the heart through sound, devotion, and togetherness.
Nature holds us throughout - in winter walks, quiet moments, journaling, and simple presence. We will also gather by the sea for a deeply nourishing ritual: sauna on the beach, with optional ocean immersion, allowing heat, breath, and water to awaken the senses and bring us home to ourselves.
You are invited just as you are: tender, tired, open, or full. Leave feeling warmed from the inside out, deeply grounded, and renewed, carrying winter’s stillness, clarity, and heartfelt strength back into your everyday life.

Vera
Traditional Hatha Yoga
Ashati Healing
Vera is a Traditional Yoga Teacher and Healer who provides a safe and loving space that allows you to be fully in your heart and listen to what it wants to share with you. From a young age she had the feeling that the universe had something else in mind for her and when yoga came on her path, it changed her life and yoga became her daily practice, and way of living. She fell in love with Traditional Hatha Yoga, a practice rooted in the heart and felt the longing to share this with the world because it brought her back to life, and into her heart. Vera loves bringing community together at the Good Vibes Studio in Bermagui where she holds a space for facilitators to offer their gifts and shares her own love for Traditional Hatha Yoga. She also pours her love into organising the Vibration of the Heart Retreats at Tilba, Women's Retreats in Victoria and the Bali Pilgrimage.
We hope to see you in July!
