Be Here Nowra is a community-run meditation project and wellbeing hub in the heart of Nowra’s CBD. Our signature four-day Vedic Meditation course teaches locals a simple, portable practice they can use anywhere—no apps, chants or special postures required. Graduates receive lifetime support through free weekly group sits and ongoing “knowledge” sessions that turn a private habit into a shared community movement.Beyond the stduio, we curate retreats, lead stress-management workshops in schools and workplaces, and host the annual HERE in Nowra festival—a month of talks, concerts and sunrise meditations that draws visitors from across Australia. Our studio doubles as an affordable venue for yoga, Pilates, breath-work and art exhibitions, keeping the precinct lively seven days a week. Everything we do is designed to lower stress, boost connection and position Nowra as a model for regional wellbeing.
