Rounding Retreat
Five days of Rounding.
An ancient sequence that recalibrates the body, purifies the mind, and awakens the creative intelligence within.
Valla, NSW
Simple enough for anyone. Profound enough to change everything.
Join us for five days of Rounding in the bushlands of Valla, a sanctuary between Sydney and Byron.
A rare immersion where your technique moves far beyond daily practice, supercharging the system and accelerating your path. The results speak for themselves.
What is Rounding?
An ancient ritual that primes you for the deepest meditation.
Compounding
Practised over consecutive days, it creates a compounding effect where expansion is both stretched and stabilised.
Profound rest
The body settles into a deep, restful state, and accumulated tiredness and tension have a chance to ease.
Clarity
Consciousness settles more fully, clearing the mind of irrelevant patterns and expanding sensory perception.
Who it's for
For anyone who has learnt, or wants to.
Whether you're newly initiated or have been practising for years, the programme is tailored to your experience and what you want to explore next. Haven't learnt Vedic Meditation yet but feel called to join? Get in touch and we'll arrange for you to learn before or during the retreat.
