Spring Otways retreat
A 4 day residential retreat22 - 26 September 2013
We will be staying at the Hare Krishna Valley retreat centre in the Otway ranges. It is a 200 acre property located 30 minutes inland of Lorne. The property is mainly bush and has walking tracks to a swamp and lake. There is a wide variety of bird life - bring your binoculars if you are a bird watcher. The retreat package includes free time for walking. The accomodation is twin share or bunk rooms. I envisage only 2 or three people per bunk room. All linen and bedding is provided. The food will be prepared by the centre staff - vegetarian and Hare Krishna. Think Gopals at a yoga retreat. What more could you want? The centre requires that only vegetarian food is consumed on the premises, and that there is no smoking, drinking or taking of drugs allowed on the Price $880 full price or $780 concession. $100 non refundable deposit required by 26 July.
