New Year New Beginnings
Awaken clarity and new beginnings in the heart of nature
- Mohanji Centre of Benevolence, Walpole WA
- 9th - 12th January 2026
Awaken the Year of Purpose
There is a profound power in how we begin. As the calendar turns, we are offered a sacred window to pause, reflect, and consciously choose the vibration we wish to carry into the year ahead.
New Year, New Beginnings is more than a retreat; it is a conscious transition. While the world rushes into resolutions, we invite you to move into a space of stillness. This retreat is designed to help you dissolve the residues of the past year and plant the seeds of deep-seated intentions (Sankalpa) in the fertile soil of a quiet mind.
Set against the majestic backdrop of Walpole’s summer wilderness, join us for four days of deep purification, high-vibration practices, and the transformative presence of the Mohanji Centre.
What Makes This Experience Truly Special
Featured Experience: The Weekly Talk with Mohanji
The spiritual centrepiece of our retreat is the rare opportunity to be in the physical presence of Mohanji at the Mohanji Centre of Benevolence, Australia, from where he will deliver his live global Weekly Talk. As one community, we gather at the Centre and participate in this Sunday satsang, shared simultaneously with seekers around the world.
