Meditation Retreats | Online & Perth

Almost every retreat marketed as an 'awakening retreat' is actually self-help - stress relief, relaxation, becoming a better version of yourself. The guide typically hasn't completed the path themselves. A retreat where a genuinely awakened teacher works directly with you to recognise your true nature is almost unheard of. This is one of them.

Rohan combines movement and sitting meditations with non-dual transmission - working with concentration practice and pointing directly to your true nature that's prior to all techniques.

This is not learning new beliefs or techniques to accumulate. It is an unveiling - stripping away what obscures your true nature, so what has always been present can be recognised.

Direct Guidance from an Awakened Teacher
Unlike retreat centres using recorded teachings or rotating facilitators, you work directly with Rohan throughout. Up to four interactive Satsangs daily plus individual check-ins address your specific obstacles - not generic advice. With over a decade of publicly documented teaching, Rohan's credentials are verifiable.

Practice Meets Transmission
These retreats honour traditional meditation methods while going beyond technique into direct recognition. Both concentration and insight, method and transmission - supporting your unveiling.

Small Groups, Global Sangha
Limited numbers ensure personalised guidance. Seekers join from across the world - USA, Europe, Singapore, Australia - creating intimate community within a supportive container.

Most participants join via Zoom from their home. Transmission works equally well online - students report the same depth as in-person work.

• Up to 4 × 1.25-hour interactive Satsangs with Rohan daily
• Silence encouraged between sessions
• Individual guidance as needed
• Join from anywhere in the world

For those able to travel, in-person retreats are held in the Margaret River region, approximately 3 hours south of Perth. The natural beauty of the South West supports inner stillness.

• Noble silence encouraged, deepening as the retreat progresses
• Individual guidance sessions as needed

• Time in nature to integrate

Full schedule provided before each retreat.

Our retreats suit seekers who:

• Have some meditation experience (or have attended Satsang)
• Are serious about awakening, not just relaxation
• Want direct teacher guidance rather than recorded instruction
• Can commit to full participation and inner honesty

New to this work? We recommend attending weekly Satsang first to experience Rohan's teaching style and ensure retreat is the right next step.

This is not a spa retreat or wellness getaway. It is deep inner work in a supportive environment. Retreats are for those ready to prioritise awakening - not spiritual tourists seeking a peaceful escape.

While rooted in Vipassana, these retreats include live teaching and personal guidance from an awakened teacher. Goenka courses use recorded discourses with assistant teachers who haven't necessarily completed the path themselves.

Here you work directly with Rohan - someone who has attained what Goenka's teachings point toward and can see and address your specific patterns. Rohan's own journey included intensive Vipassana practice at the Brookton centre near Perth in the 1990s. These retreats build on that foundation - integrating the rigour of Vipassana with direct non-dual transmission from a living awakened teacher who has completed the path, rather than the recorded instruction used at standard Vipassana centres.

Yes. Transmission works equally well via Zoom. Students from across the world - USA, UK, Europe, Asia - report the same depth of experience as in-person participants. The silence you create in your own space, combined with Rohan's presence via screen, creates powerful conditions for seeing.

Not necessarily, but some meditation practice is helpful. Attending Satsang first is recommended so you're familiar with Rohan's approach before committing to an intensive.

If you are very emotionally challenged or unstable, this deep inner work may not be suitable. A Satsang meeting with Rohan is beneficial prior to your first retreat.

Noble Silence (Mouna) is an ancient Buddhist practice of intentional deep silence to foster intense self-reflection and inner peace. Rohan lives in silence and the retreat is oriented toward bringing you there. Noble silence is encouraged and supported - many find it transformative. The silence naturally deepens as the retreat progresses and the mind settles. Between sessions, up to four daily interactive satsangs with Rohan provide direct engagement, inquiry, and personal guidance. If you wish to remain in complete silence throughout, you are welcome to, providing you are engaged in the inner work. This is not the rigid enforced silence of a standard Vipassana course - it is a living balance of deep stillness and direct engagement with an awakened teacher.

Online participants often maintain silence in their home environment. In-person attendees find the group energy supports a natural quietening without rigid enforcement.

Yes. If a multi-day retreat feels like too much to start:

• Weekly Satsang - Multiple sessions weekly via Zoom
• Private 1:1 Sessions - Deep dive with personal attention

Rohan highly recommends starting with Satsang or a private session to establish connection before retreat.

A fair question in a field filled with unqualified teachers. Rohan has over a decade of teaching publicly documented on YouTube - you can watch hundreds of hours and start to assess for yourself. It's never wise to blindly trust any teacher on face value; it takes time.

That said, seekers are ACTUALLY waking up with Rohan. This isn't a place for spiritual entertainment or collecting experiences. Students who have worked with multiple teachers consistently report a depth and simplicity here they haven't found elsewhere. The proof is in the seeker's direct experience.
