Meditation Retreat with Henry Shukman | Wellness | Byron Theatre

A one-day retreat with Henry Shukman in Byron Bay
For the first time ever, Henry Shukman will be embarking on a teaching tour across Australia. Known for his warm, restful guidance and deep insight into awakening and Zen practice, Henry will be offering retreats, workshops, and public talks designed to support both beginners and experienced meditators. This special tour is an opportunity to explore meditation in a practical, welcoming way — giving you accessible tools for living with more presence, clarity, and compassion. This Byron Bay retreat will be Henry’s final stop on the tour.
What to expect on a daylong retreat?
Henry will lead guided meditations and offer teachings that combine ancient wisdom, modern understandings of meditation and poetry.
There will be an extended Q&A with Henry to have your practice questions answered. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, there will be plenty of chances to connect with others on a similar path, sharing personal experiences and insights with each other.
By immersing in shared stillness, we open to a deeper sense of rest and ease, allowing a more profound connection with our true nature to emerge. Through practice, reflection, and community, retreats support a more wholehearted and awakened way of being.
