 Tara Hills Retreat Centre
It's easy to get to, yet it provides the seclusion of being in a quiet corner of the countryside. It's about a 45 minute drive from Adelaide, just past Nairne in the Adelaide Hills.
Tara Hills was purchased in 1982 and has been used as a retreat centre since that time. The accomodation building,main teaching hall and dining room have all been purpose built by the Lifeflow Centre for retreat practice - providing a very comfortable environment and making full use of the surrounding views and countryside. There are four main facilities:Walden retreat building - this is where everyone stays when on retreat. There are 10 individual rooms - usually, we only have one person per room during retreats. Each room has a good quality single bed, storage cupboard, plus a heater and fan. The building is very well insulated, and is pleasant throughout the year.
Maier Dining Room – this architect designed facility was completed in 2006, and includes a spacious kitchen, dining room, disabled toilet and the Lifeflow Library. The dining room features stunning views across Native Valley and the surrounding farms; at times the view becomes a breath taking backdrop to mealtimes. Everyone who enters the dining room comments on the vast expanse of space, the open yet tranquil feeling that the room conveys.

Also, there are many fine walks on the nearby roads and on a clear day there are expansive views all the way to the Coorong National Park.
Tara Hills is very easy to get to from Adelaide (via the freeway going through the Adelaide Hills), and normally only takes about 45 minutes from the city centre. We'll provide a map of directions to Tara Hills for anyone booking into a Lifeflow Retreat.

meditation courses
Tara Hills is the principal retreat centre for the Lifeflow Meditation Centre. It is set amongst the rolling hills, large gum trees and abundant bird life of peaceful Native Valley. It provides an ideal space for retreats: here you can open your senses to brilliant night sky, fresh air and expansive views that can be enjoyed from the property.
Namgyal House - this is where the Teachers stay when conducting retreats and classes. This is one of the original buildings on the property, constructed of western red cedar throughout. Up to three teachers stay here during our public retreats.
