Springbrook Theosophical Retreat Centre

Brisbane main page

Owned by The Theosophical Society in Australia (HQ located in Sydney), the Springbrook Theosophical Retreat Centre in the mountains behind the Gold Coast offers a variety of theosophical programmes throughout the year, and is rented by various compatible organisations for their own events.

There is a resident caretaker to look after the center, coordinate bookings, and supervise its use by other groups. The centre is available for hire by TS branches, Lodges or members and also by other groups that have compatible objectives and practices.

It is a perfect setting for educational programmes and spiritual retreats. You can sit beside a stream of running water or wander along a forest walk listening to the birds. Gazing at the vista from the crest of the waterfall, there is an all pervading sense of Oneness with all life.

Four modern brick accommodation blocks each contain six single rooms. The rooms are equipped with wash basins, and the comfortable beds have doonas and electric blankets. Each block has its own showers and toilets. Up to 29 people can be accommodated. A dining hall with fully equipped commercial standard kitchen and a large meeting hall with sound system complete the complex.

Only vegetarian food is permitted. No consumption of alcohol or use of drugs is allowed. The Centre and its grounds are a no-smoking area.
