Freedom Tour

Limited Capacity seats available

This walk will showcase life as a convict in the early 1800's. Cockatoo Island was a prison between 1839 and 1869 and home at its peak to 550 men who built their barracks, forged their own prison bars and constructed Fitzroy Dock. We will explore parts of the island that were build with sweat and tears. We will end with quiet time for introspection and perhaps a meditation on gratitude.

Sunday Sunrise Sadhana

Limited Capacity seats available

The way in which we spend our mornings can set up the framework for our day. In Yoga and Ayurveda, it is believed that the morning is the ideal time to immerse ourselves into our sadhana - our spiritual practice.

This intimate sunrise session will be a sweet, silent stroll around the island, bringing us then to a quant location to meditate, move, and recite mantra. We will salute the sun, meditate on the light and energy within, and pay our respects through the sacred sounds of the Gayatri mantra.

No experience or knowledge required - just an open heart, and a dedication to setting up good intentions for your day.
