Meditation & wellness in Fremantle & South

A lay Zen community in the Diamond Sangha lineage, sitting zazen every Thursday evening at the Beaconsfield church hall since its founding in 1982 — newcomers arrive at six for orientation. Teachers Mari Rhydwen Roshi and Glenn Wallis Roshi guide the practice, with monthly sits on country, quarterly intensive sitting days and an annual multi-day sesshin. Runs on dana; mats and chairs provided.

Paula Flinn holds conscious connected breathwork in a small Fremantle studio, deliberately kept intimate — group sessions cap at six people, on the first Friday evening of each month, alongside private one-to-one work.

Somatic breathwork out of Fremantle in every format the practice comes in — group circles, private sessions, workshops and retreats — with the somatic emphasis on letting the body lead rather than the technique.

Claire Belton runs breathwork and shamanic breathwork practitioner trainings from Fremantle — regular courses locally and around Australia — for those who want to move from receiving sessions to facilitating them.

Margaret practises kinesiology from Attadale, south of the river, with in-person balances at the Stoneham Road rooms and online sessions for those who can't get there. Appointments book directly through her online diary.

Jude Casey is a registered specialised kinesiologist working from North Fremantle, with a practice built entirely around muscle-monitoring balances across emotional, structural, nutritional and energetic streams. Booking runs online around the clock through Cliniko.

Christie's home clinic in Booragoon mixes energetic kinesiology, Holy Fire and Karuna reiki, sound healing and ceremonial cacao, with monthly group healing sessions for up to ten. Open Tuesday to Thursday and Saturdays by appointment, with evening slots on request, plus reiki and Access Bars training through the year.

Fremantle's Spanda School runs structured silent retreats built on non-dual meditation, gentle movement and rest — one-day sittings at the school itself, and three- and seven-day residentials at Donnelly Lakes near Pemberton. Two formats serve different depths of practice: a guided version for those newer to silence, and longer unguided sits for experienced meditators. Around a hundred students come through each year, some from interstate and overseas.
