This retreat is limited to a small group of 14 participants, offering the opportunity to spend intimate time with Shakti Durga.
This retreat is limited to a small group of 14 participants, offering the opportunity to spend intimate time with Shakti Durga.
Some months ago in Mystery School Friday class, the Goddess Artha took us on a journey to the Pleiades, specifically to the ‘sister’ star called Maia. On this journey we went to an enormous and highly conscious forest of old trees which surrounded us and blessed us with tremendous energy. Artha hinted that similar energy can be found amongst the old trees on the West Coast of Tasmania, Australia’s southernmost state.
This March we are going to visit the trees. Spaces are limited and only for Mystery School. There is an opportunity for online involvement similar to the Rishikesh retreat.
The theme of awakening to the beatific and peaceful energy of the Pleiades has emerged several times over the past 18 months and in several different formats. Now we get to explore through old trees the connection to the Pleiades, the star systems most celebrated by cultures world-wide.
We will be travelling as follows:
14 March - Hobart: 4pm first session followed by dinner (at own expense).
Book your own accommodation in Hobart.
Shakti Durga and staff will be staying in the suburb of Sandy Bay booked through Stayz.com. (insert map reference).
We will have our first session at our Sandy Bay address at 4pm to check in and connect, followed by dinner (at own expense). You will receive the address once you have booked for the retreat.

The retreat commences on Friday 14 March at 4pm with a session at Sandy Bay followed by dinner together (at own expense) and concludes on the morning of Saturday 22 March with an early closing session.
Due to the nature of this retreat there are additional expenses and arrangements which participants will be required to make. The WhatsApp group will help you to connect with each other to share expenses.
WhatsApp group:
We have a WhatsApp group 'Tasmania Retreat 2025'. The link to join the group will be on the dashboard and in the booking confirmation email. We recommend you join this group for two important reasons: being in the group will make it easier for you to find other participants wishing to share accommodation and car hire; and it will be the primary way of communicating while we are on retreat.
Car Hire:
We will be travelling by car. Participants are asked to organise their own car hire. It is suggested that 3-4 people car share to keep the cost down as well as minimising the number of cars travelling in convoy.
Accommodation:
Participants need to make their own accommodation arrangements in Hobart and Maydena. Shakti Durga and the staff are staying in an AirBnb in Sandy Bay, Hobart and in Maydena.The accommodation in Strahan is included in the retreat cost.
Meals:
Because of the nature of this retreat, travelling into the areas where we have access to the ancient trees, where there are no restaurant facilities, participants will need to self-cater.
Please ensure the accommodation you book in Maydena will allow you to self-cater. We will stop in New Norfolk on our way to Maydena where there is opportunity to buy from the local store, however we cannot guarantee you will be able to buy exactly what you want. As we are travelling in cars, you may wish to shop in Hobart and bring food with you.
While there are some eating places in Strahan the apartments we are staying in all have full kitchen facilities and there are local shops where you can buy supplies.

Such an opportunity to appreciate those special moments in time which are unforgettable. Relishing time spent ... feeling the love, kindness and gentleness of the group. I loved every moment of the retreat and even the momentary processing parts dissolved into feeling uplifted and filled with Divine energy, making it an exceptional experience. All my love and appreciation to those who made it possible.

When you fall in love with your Beloved, how can you put it in simple terms? But I’ll try. It’s pure bliss rippling, love so rich and deep, magical discoveries, and a breathless awe that keeps unfolding. The pathway there was forged by Shakti Durga and her Sacred Musicians, with their power, grace, and gentle care. I was able to let go of long-held beliefs and find myself in a different vibration. Lifetimes of gratitude for these tremendous blessings and gifts. Namaste!
