Chenrezig Institute is a centre for Buddhist study, meditation, retreat, and practice nestled in the foothills of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland in Queensland, Australia.
We welcome all groups with a similar outlook to use our Community Room for retreats and workshops. All bookings are subject to approval. Previous workshops have included Feng Shui, Feldenkris, and children's groups and art groups.
Chenrezig Institute is located on a wooded hill. The Community Room is at the foot of the will and accommodations are at the top, with our wonderful cafe located in the middle.
Accommodations include cabins, B&B style and motel style rooms and two small 'dorm' rooms. Some have private bath, but most are shared.
The Chenrezig Institute Community Room is large open hall; 15 metres by 8 metres. It has a wooden floor, lots of windows for ventilation and a large verandah surround which provides a lovely view of the native bush. The space is ideal for up to 70 participants on chairs, 40 in classroom-style, or 20-25 participants for more physical activities such as yoga.
