Closeness to nature - Hillwood and North East Tasmania
Visitors to the Hillwood Road Meditation Skills Centre or accommodation often say they feel peaceful as soon as they arrive. They comment on the greenery around the building, the pretty landscape of Hillwood and the wide open spaces along the highway. And many clients say that spending time with nature is the easiest way for them to quieten their minds. Closeness to nature is an important ingredient that we celebrate at the meditation centre and retreats, never knowing how much of the magic of the place comes from the land itself.
While many tourists are attracted to Cradle Mountain and Hobart, you can find a rarer kind of serenity by taking the roads less travelled beyond Hillwood to the far North East of Tasmania. Here the population is sparse, there are no traffic lights, the climate is gentle and the spaces have an exquisite atmosphere. It's a good idea to plan your trip before setting out to the more remote areas, making sure you know where to find food, petrol and the right roads. It's best to bring a printed map. Stephanie has prepared a small book to help you explore walking trails, beaches and other picturesque spots during your visit, available from the Hillwood Meditation Centre for $15.
