Half-day, full-day and residential wellness retreats within reach of Perth.
Cannington · South East
A volunteer-run meditation centre teaching Raja Yoga meditation through free introductory courses, public talks and workshops, with an ongoing Thursday evening class for those who have completed the intro course. All courses, classes and retreats are offered free of charge.
Bedfordale · South East
A retreat centre on ten acres of bushland in the Perth hills, with a seasonal creek, native forest and an octagonal yoga shala. Alongside weekly classes it runs a monthly one-day silent retreat, longer weekend retreats through the year, self-guided personal retreat stays and long-form teacher training. Retreat days fold in bush walks on the property.
Perth · Perth Central
An NDIS-registered outdoor practice running counselling, animal-assisted sessions, art and music therapy, exercise physiology and community-access programs in natural settings around Perth. Programs are built around each participant's own plan and goals rather than a fixed class timetable, and include therapeutic respite and retreat options.
Perth · Perth Central
Karen Haddon teaches the full eight-week MBSR program — weekly 2.5-hour classes plus a seven-hour retreat day — in person and online, alongside Mindful Self-Compassion, workplace and schools programs, and one-to-one coaching. The course runs $695 with payment plans and hardship rates offered without fuss, and a free fifteen-minute consult settles whether it's the right fit.
Serpentine · Rockingham & Peel
The Buddhist Society of WA's purpose-built retreat centre in a Darling Scarp valley beside Bodhinyana Monastery — sixty single rooms with ensuites, a large meditation hall and covered walking-meditation halls. Weekend and nine-day residential retreats are led by monastics, with long days of sitting and walking practice; experienced practitioners can arrange mentored self-retreats of a week or more.
East Fremantle · Fremantle & South
A not-for-profit centre teaching modern Buddhist meditation, with its home in East Fremantle and weekly drop-in classes across the metro — Joondalup, Kingsley, Bayswater, Baldivis and free lunchtime sessions at the WA Museum. Drop-ins are $15, need no booking, and assume no background whatsoever.
