Retreats 2010

Jhana Grove Meditation Centre’ is nestled on a secluded piece of land surrounded by natural forest in the hills above Serpentine, just 1km from Bodhinyana Buddhist Monastery. This purpose-built retreat centre comfortably accommodates up to 60 guests at a time in 10 individual cottages containing 6 rooms, each with its own en-suite. This allows a great deal of privacy and very condusive for meditation practice.Its an extremely peaceful place. Connected to the cottages, by a covered walkway, is a large, air-conditioned meditation hall with three adjoining halls for the convenient practice of walking meditation. There is also a well-equipped kitchen and dining area, as well as laundry, office, and storage facilities.

PIMG’s first opportunity to use this purpose built Buddhist Meditation Centre was with Patrick Kearney’s retreat in October 2009. We are excited to be able to use this centre now.

Official Opening of Jhana Grove was on April 10th 2009.
Ajahn Brahm extended a welcoming invitation to all PIMG members to attend the official opening. See the Buddhist Society of W.A website for further information.
