Prema Meditation

Retreats

Rest. Release. Reconnect.

The retreat is the deepest version of the practice and the shortest distance to it.

Rounding practice at a Prema Meditation retreat in Mudgee

The practice

What is a retreat with Natalia?

Four days. A property in Mudgee. Eight to twelve people.

Each day includes Rounding (a combination of Vedic meditation, gentle yoga stretches and breathwork). The format dissolves stress the body has been holding for months, sometimes years.

Outside the practice: freshly prepared Ayurvedic meals, massage, time in the sauna, jacuzzi and pool, knowledge talks by the fire, real stars at night.

What to expect

Three things, in order.

01

Rest

The first day is recovery. Most people arrive depleted without realising. The schedule gives the nervous system time to drop.

02

Release

Rounding dissolves the layers underneath. Stress the body has been compensating for, often for years. Most participants describe it as the first time their body and mind have been still at the same time.

03

Reconnect

What comes back is clarity. To yourself, to the people around you, to what actually matters. This part is hard to describe and easy to recognise once you have felt it.

What is included

Everything except the drive up.

  • Luxury accommodation in a curated countryside property
  • All meals (Ayurvedic, prepared on site)
  • Daily Rounding sessions guided by Natalia
  • Daily talks on Vedic principles, applied to modern life
  • Massage (extra)

Open to everyone. You can learn to meditate at the retreat.

Frequently asked

Common questions.

Who can attend a retreat?

Anyone. If you have already learned Vedic Meditation, you will go deeper into Rounding. If you have not, you can learn the technique during the retreat itself.

Do I need yoga experience?

No. The asanas used in Rounding are gentle and accessible. Natalia guides every step.

What is Rounding?

A sequence that combines yoga postures, pranayama, and extended meditation. The effect is unlike anything you reach in solo sitting alone. Most participants describe it as the first time their body and mind have been still at the same time.

What if I feel overwhelmed during the retreat?

Some emotional release is normal as the nervous system unwinds. Natalia is trained to support you through it. The pace is always adjusted to the individual.
