Retreats and Deep Immersion Programme

The Deep Immersion One Day Retreat

The one-day private retreat for an individual (or couple) offers a rigorous inquiry into what we imagine ourselves to be.

The focus of the DEEP IMMERSION RETREAT is on unravelling the specific issues or misunderstandings that an individual may be carrying, and seeing through anything that is seemingly obscuring the underlying spaciousness.

The four sessions throughout the day facilitate this unravelling in a deep and respectful manner. Stories, humour, and simple kindness are features of these sessions. Peter and Kalyani alternate in taking the sessions throughout the day and hold a deep respect for the unfolding changes that are taking place within the individual.

Morning and afternoon tea breaks allow time for relaxation and the integration of what has transpired in the previous session, and following a light vegetarian lunch, there is time to relax in the library, sit in the garden, or stroll in the nearby parklands.

The programme draws on Peter and Kalyani’s long experience in facilitating groups as well as their mentoring of individuals in non-dual awareness.

Peter’s background as an international facilitator, mentor and clinical supervisor, and Kalyani’s decades long counselling and teaching experience contribute to their working deeply and respectfully with those wanting an end to their seeking.

Having founded the Centre for Transformation in the 1980s, they have been teaching about consciousness and spirituality since that time. Peter has written and presented programmes on consciousness for Australian national radio and television, and Kalyani’s writing has been published by Non-Duality Press UK and the respected Dutch non-duality journal InZicht.

Peter and Kalyani are both featured teachers in Rhonda Byrne’s The Greatest Secret (2020) and can be heard on her audiobook version. They have been holding non-duality programmes in Australia and Europe for over 15 years and bring their own unique and complementary expressions to their teaching and to working deeply with people.

Retreat Testimonials

  • “I had been on the path of Awakening to my own True Nature for over 30 years. I was feeling near yet so far; searching for a dynamic and direct person who could cut through the obstacles in my head. From the moment I saw Kalyani and Peter, they left a deep impression in me. The pure, simple and direct inquiry sessions that they offered for my personal retreat were very profound. Kalyani and Peter are spontaneous, intuitively working separately and together with me. Daily inquiry sessions were intense, but because of their caring, kind and loving heart I felt very supported and safe to go deep. I was able to see through my clever ‘spiritual ideas’ which I had been hiding under, and how my need of stabilising total awaken-ness is just another mental construct. I feel continued support from them as I return to Life as is. Unshakable confidence restored, along the sense of freedom and comfortable with everything just as is. I can hear their voices, “there you go… just another thought...” I am deeply grateful to Kalyani and Peter, as my journey continues on life’s train, with no need to keep carrying so much baggage. I can put my feet up too! I highly recommend them to any true seekers of Truth.”

  • “Pete and Kalyani were the final push I needed: a gentle push informed by insight, compassion, honesty and deep personal experience and knowing. They meet you where you are and guide you to the edge - the final step is yours. Peers, companions and guides who don’t just know the map, they have walked the territory. Embrace the sky-like hearts of these beautiful people and let go.”

  • "Peter and Kalyani told me that their aim for my personal retreat was to be led to my Self and to be able to find all the answers I need there, then to be sent on my way. Being with them has far exceeded any expectations that I could have had. Daily sessions served to shine light on obstacles which obscured the view of the unborn reality. I could not have found better hosts, entirely generous and thoughtful every step of the way. I give them my highest recommendation."
