VICTOR HARBOR - SA RETREAT 2026 - FAQ & INFORMATION
Welcome to our Sacred Earth Into Your Heart, South Australian 4 Day Retreat.
Join Penny & Jethro for 4 wonderful days, during which you will be supported to dive deeply into yourself and explore the deeper aspects of the music of Sacred Earth. Jethro and Penny bring 30 years of practice in meditation, mantra singing, movement, devotion, commitment, love, self-care, motivation and study of the mind to their offerings. You will be guided into your inner realms through daily gentle yoga/movement, blissful mantra singing, sunrise and evening meditations, silent walking meditation, nature of the mind discussions, learning how to dissolve conditions and patterns that keep us stuck: The Power of Now, intention setting, fire ceremony, prayers for peace ceremony, silence, and laughter.
Combined with beautiful heart-centred, vegetarian food made with Love. Supported by the beauty of the surrounding nature of the retreat, we can immerse ourselves in the practice of being present and learning to quieten the mind.
You will be held throughout the weekend with honour, respect, clear directions & guidance. This retreat is for
you and about you. A time to simply be with yourself. Take time to slow down, get creative, find your flow, walk in nature, meditate, write in your journal, and share creative community space. Activate your life force daily through the practices of yoga, meditation, mantra singing, yoga nidra & long life exercises.
Rejuvenate, relax and enjoy the beauty of being with yourself. Step away from everyday distractions and
enjoy the wonderful benefits of becoming part of a rich and unforgettable experience with other like-minded
souls as we share and journey together…
