What’s it like staying in an Ashram?
An ashram is a spiritual retreat dedicated to the practice of yoga, meditation, and self-inquiry. Traditionally rooted in Indian culture, it serves as a peaceful sanctuary where individuals can step away from everyday distractions and focus on inner growth, healing, and mindfulness.
As part of the Quiet Earth experience, guests are invited to engage in communal activities like shared living, caring for the ashram through cleaning, and tending to the gardens.
The environment is intentionally minimalist, encouraging you to let go of distractions and focus inward.

The standard ticket offers shared ashram-style rooms (shared bathroom facilities)
Each room is clean and simply furnished with single beds and single mattresses
Guests will have access to a desk lamp for reading, a small shelf for clothing, and a bedside table
Please note: Rooms are intentionally minimal to support a distraction-free environment and encourage inner reflection
What to wear at the Ashram:
The ashram offers a serene and simple environment, inviting you to slow down and reconnect with yourself.
To maintain a respectful and inclusive space, we ask that modest clothing be worn in shared areas—please avoid tight or revealing outfits outside of workshops.
During yoga and workshop sessions, activewear and yoga tights are appropriate.

What is the food like ?
All meals are lovingly prepared by the Ashram community in the traditional ‘sattvic’ style of Indian yoga cuisine, with most ingredients sourced from the Ashram’s organic garden.
Sattvic food, rooted in ancient yogic tradition, emphasizes pure, clean, and wholesome nourishment that fosters clarity, calmness, and balance in both body and mind. The term sattvic means “pure” or “harmonious” in Sanskrit.
This diet centres on fresh, natural, and minimally processed foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, legumes, and moderate amounts of dairy like milk and ghee. It excludes foods that are overly spicy, oily, processed, fermented, or contain stimulants like caffeine and alcohol.
To support this philosophy, the Ashram does not serve coffee or alcohol but offers a variety of soothing herbal teas instead.
Is there WiFi or connectivity ?
The Ashram is nestled in the heart of Wombat State Forest, where mobile reception is limited—and that’s very much part of the experience.
To maintain a peaceful and focused environment, phones are not to be used during workshops or in any common areas within the Ashram.
If you need to make a call or check messages, please step outside to the front gate.
The Ashram is intended to be a phone-free zone, supporting deeper presence, connection, and inner stillness.
