Explore your outer and inner journeys through the power of the pen. Whether you’ve got a lived experience you’ve been wanting to share or a desire to tap into your creativeness through storytelling, this course will get you seeing with fresh eyes and thinking with an open mind.

Writing can be a transformative tool for self-discovery, meaningful connection to others and invite an overall sense of wellness. This course will get you thinking and writing mindfully with a focus on personal writing, group discussion and sharing.

Established 1974, Chenrezig Institute is a centre for Buddhist study, meditation, retreat and practice nestled in the foothills of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. The Institute is home to a Tibetan Geshe (Lama), a large community of ordained Sangha (monks and nuns), students, residents, volunteers, retreat goers and guests.

Apart from the formal study programmes, Chenrezig Institute is a peaceful, calm and relaxing place to spend a few hours, days or weeks. Stroll along the bush paths, wander in formal garden, espresso in the cafe or a vegetarian meal.

Teachers’ availability subject to change; please check the Chenrezig Institute Calendar for updated information. Also below the far carpark is ‘The Wellbeing Centre’ which provides courses focusing on cultivating physical, emotional and mental balance and wellbeing. They include authentic traditional and modern psychological approaches to health and lifestyle. They are suitable for everyone who maybe looking for genuine happiness and well-being in a non-religious framework.
