Ajahn Mudito Retreat – January 2027

Five days of silence, structured practice, and direct guidance from an experienced Theravada Buddhist monastic teacher—this is an invitation to step out of the noise and into the heart of your meditation practice. At Newbury Monastery in Victoria, Ajahn Mudito will lead you through an intensive retreat designed for both newcomers and seasoned practitioners to deepen understanding of classical Buddhist teachings and cultivate the stability, clarity, and peace that come from sustained meditative practice.

This is not a casual workshop. It is a commitment to yourself—a chance to work with a respected teacher in an environment specifically built to support transformation. Whether you've been meditating for years or are drawn to explore the practice for the first time, this January 2027 retreat offers the rare gift of focused time away from daily demands, held within a monastic setting designed to support your inner work.

What to Expect

The retreat follows a structured daily schedule of guided meditation sessions, Dhamma talks, and periods of individual practice. You'll engage directly with core teachings of Theravada Buddhism—the oldest surviving Buddhist tradition—while developing practical skills in concentration, mindfulness, and insight. The monastic environment creates a container of silence and simplicity that allows the mind to settle naturally. By the end of the five days, participants typically experience greater mental clarity, deeper peace, and a clearer sense of direction in their practice—along with practical tools to sustain these qualities at home.
