Sangsurya Retreat Centre

Offer is required. Our retreats are designed to provide an immersive and transformative experience, fostering personal growth, self-reflection, and spiritual development.

Located in the peaceful hinterland of Byron Bay, Sangsurya Retreat Centre offers a natural and environmentally-friendly sanctuary for individuals seeking a respite from the demands of modern life. Surrounded by lush gardens and tranquil surroundings, the retreat centre provides a serene atmosphere conducive to meditation, introspection, and rejuvenation.

Sangsurya Retreat Centre is a social enterprise founded by the late Mona and Tony Kruger. With a foundation built on love, pure intention, and service to humanity, the retreat centre has been providing refuge and healing to thousands of local, national, and international students and practitioners for over 30 years. Regardless of race, gender, or religion, Sangsurya embraces a philosophy of humility, respect, and equality, ensuring that all individuals feel welcome and valued.

The centre offers a variety of retreats throughout the year, each with a unique focus and purpose. One of the main offerings at Sangsurya is spiritual education retreats in the Buddhist Insight Meditation tradition. These retreats, comprising 25% of the annual offerings, delve into mindfulness, meditation, heart-opening practises, wisdom teachings, and ethics. Participants have the opportunity to cultivate increased mindfulness and self-discovery, gaining insight into the true nature of reality.

The Insight Meditation retreats create a supportive and caring environment for individuals to explore and question beliefs that separate and isolate them from others and the world around them.

Another 25% of Sangsurya's annual retreats are dedicated to the Hoffman Process. This 7-day residential programme is a life-changing experience that focuses on personal development and empowerment. Through exploring limiting beliefs and behaviours established in one's family of origin, the Hoffman Process assists individuals in building awareness of the negative impact of these patterns and facilitates their release. As a result, participants uncover their true essence and enhance their ability to connect more deeply and compassionately with themselves, others, and their community.

It is important to note that Sangsurya Retreat Centre is not an accommodation provider for individuals or groups seeking a holiday rental. To stay at the centre, enrolment, and full participation in one of the structured retreat programmes are required. These programmes are designed to provide an immersive experience and allow participants to fully engage in the transformative process.

At Sangsurya, the mission is to contribute effectively to the cultivation of peace in a world where conflict is prevalent. Through offering spiritual teachings, life education programmes, and nurturing retreat settings, the centre equips individuals with the tools and resources to gain self-understanding, make positive life changes, and build resilience in an ever-changing world.

For those seeking a retreat experience that fosters wisdom, well-being, and personal growth, Sangsurya Retreat Centre in Byron Bay is the ideal choice. Allow yourself to immerse in the serenity of this spiritual oasis and embark on a transformative journey towards inner peace and self-discovery.
