RESTORE YOUR HEALTH AT NIRVANA WELLBEING RETREAT
Discover Ancient and Powerful Natural
Wellbeing Solutions
Nirvana Wellbeing Retreat is a Gold Coast yoga, Ayurveda and meditation retreat, the home for accessible mind-body solutions curated to boost an individual’s capacity to restore your physical and mental health. Here, you will find yourself amidst all that is serene and spiritual. We offer four main types of retreats:
Mindfulness Meditation & Healing Retreats
With the turmoil going on all around us, many of us find our minds brimming with greater uncertainty, stress, and anxiety. Here, at Nirvana Wellbeing Retreat we offer the essentials - helping you get free from debilitating pain, improve your breathing, recover from injuries and dysfunction, and increase your energy, wellbeing and happiness.
Please note: some weekend, in-depth silent mediation retreats are available. Longer retreats (7+ days) have detox as optional extra.
You are worthy, valuable and important.
Ayurveda and Yoga Retreats
These retreats typically include transformative teachings based on Ayurveda, the science of life, guided healing yoga mat practice, meditation rituals, group nature walks, time for art and journaling, and much more. Regardless of your personal health goals, the end destination is the same for all of us: Feeling better than ever. Longer retreats have the ability to add detox as optional extra.
Nature’s healing is our first love.
Ayurvedic Education and Vegetarian Cooking Retreats
Learn a skill for life. Eating well is not about deprivation. Our physical and mental health has its foundations in the food we cook and eat. You cannot buy, beg, borrow or steal health. It is nature's gift to you. Ayurvedic Education & Vegetarian Cooking Retreats introduce you to the principles of Ayurvedic Health and bring you ways to improve your health and add more energy and vitality to your life.
"Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food."

Thank you Shanti and all the attendees at the weekend retreat.
Great conversations only matched by wonderful teachings and healing yoga and meditation... and I haven't even mentioned the food!
A warm, friendly environment at what feels like the top of the world. I am already looking forward to my next retreat. Namaste.
Wonderful and renewing experience. I learnt so much about Yoga, meditation and Ayurveda.
The food was also incredible, organic, delicious and vegetarian.
Will definitely go back.
Recently I attended Shanti's Detox Retreat and found it most beneficial.
Since returning home, I've noticed I have much more energy throughout the day and can achieve considerably more without effort.
My food tastes more flavoursome. I wake earlier in the morning, alive and ready to start the day.
The food at the retreat was delicious and generous in quantity. We ate very well, but somehow my weight dropped??
I can therefore highly recommend the retreat to all who are contemplating it.
Nirvana hit pause on my busy life and had me searching within to embrace the connection of the mind body and blocks in my digestive system. Through mindfulness practices, Shanti’s wisdom and Sonyas Ayurvedic cooking I was able to not only enjoy foods I haven’t been able to digest for years, but my skin has regenerated with a radiant glow and I’m feeling deep peace within my self.
This land has healing powers through and through. Sink your bare toes into the soil and explore beautiful connections with fellow retreatants. I am thrilled to have begun my journey on the Ayurvedic path of health and wholeness through Nirvana. Excited to return to this beautiful home!
Shanti shared so much wisdom and she is truly inspiring. The daily meditation, deep relaxation and yoga are so good for the body, mind and soul. And the food... well let's say I was expecting to be hungry and unsatisfied all the time, but it turned out to be the complete opposite. Sonja, who is in charge of the kitchen, makes the most delicious food I have ever tasted in my entire life, that I ended up always going back for seconds (or thirds), and that while detoxing!
The retreat is located on such a beautiful spot with breathtaking views and sun/moonrises, plenty of space to go sit in silence by yourself or connect with nature by walks in their private rainforest.
I learned so much about Ayurveda and myself and would highly recommend the 10-day-detox retreat to anyone interested in improving their health and learning simple steps you can easily implement in your every day life to further benefit your physical, mental and spiritual health. So grateful I got to experience this and I will definitely be back. 🙏🏻
I have spent 7 years struggling with my energy levels and health. I had tried everything. Finally I discovered Shanti. In just 10 days Shanti has reenergised me.
I am literally jumping out of my skin and can't wait to start growing my company again.
10 days away in a place filled by pure love energy.
Meditation, yoga, Ayurvedic approach and incredible detox food.
Shanti’s knowledge is wide and wise.
I come every year for a Detox retreat which is unlike anything you would have experienced.
It's Ayuvedic which means Nourishing vegetarian meals, Yoga, Mediation, Cooking classes and much more. Lead by renowned Yogi Shanti Gowans!
