My stay at Kailash Ashram in the Grampians doing the Soul Retreat was an amazing experience from beginning to end. The hosts were warm and welcoming which made me feel completely at ease from the moment I arrived. The food was delicious, wholesome and plentiful and the lodgings were comfortable. But what made the experience special was the peaceful atmosphere and the people who created such a beautiful, welcoming environment. The whole experience was incredibly nourishing and I deepened my practices with David and Raya's wisdom and guidance. I left feeling refreshed and grateful and very glad that I had the opportunity to spend time there.Posted on Google![]()

Wow !! What an experience. I really had no expectations as I'm a bit of a newbie and I left feeling like the weight of the world had left me. Raya and David welcomed me into their world with kindness and love. Sharing their experiences of life and passing on their knowledge. What a beautiful spot in the world, very peaceful and calming to the soul. Thankyou 🙏Posted on Google![]()

David and Raya provide sacred space, traditional teaching in a way that is understandable, relevant and accessible. The practices they teach are a tonic to anyone struggling with universal issues of life.Posted on Google![]()

I had a wonderful and meaningful experience with Kailash Group during my meditation retreat. The sessions were peaceful, insightful, and helped me reconnect with myself and find a sense of inner calm. The guidance and overall environment were warm, supportive, and welcoming. I’m truly grateful for the experience and would highly recommend Kailash Group to anyone looking for mindfulness, self-awareness, and a little peace away from everyday life. 🙏Posted on Google![]()

Kailash Ashram offered such a warm, supportive and knowledgeable space to rest, reflect and meditate. David and Raya kept us occupied each day of the retreat with meditation and hatha yoga in the morning and sessions on soul and body to bring us into the present throughout the day and filled our belly and soul with food and nourishment. All the while exploring how best to achieve what we were seeking. Highly recommend every aspect of the soul retreat! Thank you. I will be returning.Posted on Google![]()

My experience at Kailash Ashram was life changing. David and Raya are the most beautiful souls you can ever meet, and they live and breathe what they teach and mentor. I felt welcomed, safe & nurtured in the company of like minded souls. The content of the course was well thought out, interesting and engaging, with challenges that gently pushed you past your comfort zone. The structure of the days was comfortable, with enough down time to enjoy the beautiful property. The food was nourishing, flavoursome, varied and plentiful. A wonderful, memorable experience 🙏🧘♀️+10Posted on Google![]()

Loved the Soul Retreat which nourished mind, body and soul. David and Raya were warm and welcoming. The Ashram is nestled in beautiful bushland. Home cooked delicious vegetarian meals were provided throughout our stay. The experience was transformational 🙏🏻

In the ancient system of Yoga, we uncover the hidden relationship between mind, body, nature and Soul so that we can live a life in alignment, free from suffering.
During this retreat you will utilise both traditional yogic practices and mindfulness in nature practices to understand yourself according to the yogic framework of 'the Elements.'
These Elements; Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Space, Mind and Soul are what constitute our lived experience, and with the knowledge we will share with you you will be able to make lifestyle adjustments to attain a more harmonious way of being.

Wartook Rise is a signposted dirt road off of the Northern Grampians road between Halls Gap and Horsham.
The route through Ararat to Halls Gap and then Wartook is more scenic but has many bends and avoids some time on the Western Highway, though at dusk and dawn it is advised to keep it to 70km/h because of kangaroos / emus.
Guests wishing to avoid the windy mountain road or in large vehicles are advised to take the route through Stawell and Roses Gap Rd.
