Hearts Wide Open Chanting Retreat is birthed as a prayer to offer an affordable, blissful weekend gathering with all the things that we, Lulu & Mischka, love doing to feel alive and expanded. Our music is a reflection of these practices.
We will immerse ourselves in the power of mantra, prayer and heart songs, surrendering to the flow of chanting and sound meditations, experiencing the incredible potency of our own voices and the deep resonance within the silence.

TESTIMONIAL
"It’s taken me a few days to settle the emotion that exploded from my head and heart over the weekend with you guys. I didn’t expect it to feel so big, so explosive, so loving.
In large I think it’s about you guys and the people you attract. You allow space for people to come and go as they need or wish, you allowed for big heart stuff, you asked everyone to surrender and you always kept it fun and not too serious.
The vibes were high and I felt so incredibly nourished and loved and connected to a wonderful community. One of my favourites from the weekend was introducing the crew and asking everyone to be present and with radical non judgment!! So great for setting a loving tone. I met wonderful humans I felt I have known for a long time.... I’m so so grateful. Thank you for being so authentic and vulnerable to us too. Big hugs and love always." Lesleigh from Sydney xxx

Helpful information:
Should you need assistance in finding the right accomodation (whether it is at the venue or elsewhere), simply mention this in your booking enquiry; please know we might be able to organise you a pick up in the morning from offsite accomodation.
Best flights to book are to "Ballina-Byron Bay Gateway" (closest) or "Coolangatta - Gold Coast"; there is the Byron shuttle bus that can drop you at "Mullumbimby at Uncle Tom's", 200m from the retreat venue (also drives from Brisbane). Let us know if you need any support.
