More about Arcoora

Arcoora is an off-grid, not-for-profit land project focused on ecological and cultural regeneration. Over the years, programmes have revolved around topics such as permaculture, yoga, meditation, dance, art, men's and women's work, deep ecology, nature connection, primitive survival skills and rites of passage.

Arcoora operates on the precious lands of the Gulli-Bul people of the Bundjalung Nation. A 30-minute drive from Kyogle, NSW; it floats amongst tall eucalypts on a mountain nestled in The Border Ranges surrounded by ancient Gondwana sub-tropical rainforest and vibrant wildlife. Historically, the site has long been identified as a ‘spiritual university – a place of wisdom and learning’. The mountain retreat was established by a Buddhist community and still features buildings from that time, including the treasured Gonpa (temple), where some say the hundreds of thousands of hours of meditation that have taken place is tangible.

The invitation for you to partner with us comes from our small team of volunteers living on the mountain. Each member brings their own personal passions to Arcoora; but what unites us is our shared commitment and enthusiasm for community, nature, earth-arts, and making a positive impact through social change.

 
 

Arcoora is 3hrs from Brisbane and a 2hr drive from Byron Bay & Gold Coast through stunning sub-tropical landscapes
