Dhammagiri Forest Hermitage

About this retreat

Dhammagiri Forest Hermitage is a Theravada Buddhist monastery situated in bushland approximately 45 minutes from Brisbane, operating in the lineage of the revered Thai master Ajahn Chah. The monastery offers regular meditation sessions, one-day full moon retreats, Saturday and Sunday programs, and daily alms offerings open to visitors. Teachings draw directly from the early Pali canon and living Forest Tradition practice, led by resident monastics including Ajahn Dhammasiha. Weekly live streams, a podcast library of over 300 talks, and guided meditations extend the community beyond the physical site. Dhammagiri suits those seeking grounded, traditional Buddhist practice without commercial retreat packaging.
