How can we help?
Q: How do I Get There?
The venue is nestled in Colo Heights, approximately 120 minutes by car from Sydney CBD. The nearest town and train station is Windsor (39 minutes away). We’re also 44 minutes away from Richmond Station (trains are more frequent at this station). You’re welcome to drive and park at the retreat or catch the train. We recommend a train to Richmond, so you can easily book a taxi to the retreat centre for roughly $100. (Note: we suggest booking in advance, as it can be difficult to organise a taxi from there.) If flying from interstate, you can first catch a train to Sydney Central, and go from there. Check out a local cab company for trip planning and schedules.
Q: Is There Parking At The Retreat Centre?
Yes, there is ample parking on the property. Where possible, we recommend car pooling.
Q: Can I Attend By Myself?
We encourage it! Either way, you’ll be surrounded by open, like-minded people. Some delay retreating because they’re waiting for friends, but we highly recommend taking that leap for yourself.
Q: What kind of food will we make?
Our food is nourishing, fresh, tasty, and entirely plant-powered. We use Asian, Middle-Eastern and Mediterranean flavours. Meals are vegetarian (almost vegan), though we occasionally include honey in our dishes. We also cater for strict vegans and those requiring dairy or gluten free foods due to intolerance. Allergies will also be carefully noted. Please let us know your specific restrictions and allergies in the booking form. Our kitchens and venue are strictly meat free.
Q: What's the cancellation policy?
A: Free to cancel or reschedule up until 1 day before the class
Q: How long does the class run for, and what's the price?
A: 3.5 hours, $99 per guest
