Bodhinyana Monastery

Bodhinyana monastery is nestled amidst the rolling hills of the Darling Range, near the small town of Serpentine, Western Australia. The monastery began its growth in 1983. Named after the great teacher Ajahn Chah, Bodhinyana means the ‘wisdom of enlightenment’. With the generous help and support of our dedicated lay community the monks have built Bodhinyana to establish a home beneath the trees, in harmony with nature.

Jhana Grove Retreat Centre

Jhana Grove is a dedicated meditation retreat centre nestled in a valley of the Darling Scarp adjacent Bodhinyana Monastery in Serpentine. It can accommodate up to 60 guests at one time each with their own room and ensuite. This allows a great deal of privacy and thus maximises the benefits of meditation practice. Connected to the cottages, by a covered walkway, is a large, air-conditioned meditation hall with three adjoining halls for the convenient practice of walking meditation. There is also a well-equipped kitchen and dining area, as well as laundry, office, and storage facilities. A small caretakers residence completes the centre.
