The Sound Temple

A chamber designed for immersion

Set within five acres of jarrah bushland near Sawyers Valley, the Sound Temple sits quietly beside a nature reserve. Timber walls, warm light and natural acoustics create an environment where sound settles into the body and attention naturally deepens. The space feels intimate without feeling small, holding groups in focused stillness.

Depth without distraction

The surrounding bushland supports the experience. A deck for gathering. Space to breathe between sessions. A gallery and workshop area for creative or reflective work. The environment reduces noise and interruption, allowing participants to settle, restore and return to discussion with steadier focus.

The architecture of resonance

The Sound Temple is built as a wooden acoustic chamber designed to carry vibration cleanly and evenly. When gongs and instruments are played, the structure amplifies and distributes sound throughout the space, allowing participants to experience resonance not just as noise, but as physical sensation. The design supports depth, focus and sustained immersion.

Sawyers Valley Retreat is a hidden gem where your shoulders drop from the moment you arrive. A beautiful setting to reconnect with nature and each other. Dawn and the team quietly sorted everything behind the scenes, so we could just be present with the day.

If your team needs to get out of the office, this is the spot. Don’t miss the opportunity to finish with the Sound Temple. I walked out calmer than I had been in months.

Dawn came to the rescue to arrange a last minute session for a community event we were arranging for Mental Health week for those that are affected by mental illness. Dawn was extremely accommodating in meeting the needs of our group and the activity was greatly received.

From my perspective, it was wonderful to be able to share a Sound Healing session with a group of individuals who would not usually have access to such an experience and who were unfamiliar with the notion. Participants who are compounded by a busy mind due to their illness, conveyed how the Sound Healing left them feeling peaceful and relaxed, reducing anxieties and instilling hope.

Community Event

I just wanted to thank you all for the absolutely beautiful time at the Sound Temple last Sunday. I can’t tell you how special it was to be there just with my 5 friends in our very own intimate and personal healing session. We have been together as a group for several years so it was a magical experience. Janis, thank you for organising this and making it happen in your usual and amazing style with such attention to detail. Dawn thank you for sharing your beautiful spiritual and healing temple and its home in the bush with us. And Kim you have a rare, intuitive gift and your sound healing was divine and the heart songs you sang for each of us were moving, uplifting and honouring all at the same time. We all thought we had ‘died and gone to heaven’! To be able to spend time afterwards sharing our experience with you Kim as we sat in the Sound Temple was so precious, as well as the blissful wind down on your verandah Dawn, viewing the art works and sharing in a delicious lunch. Janis, Dawn and Kim this was a very memorable day of absolute bliss.

Death & Dying Group

Thank you for organising everything for me and all the tiny details like the welcome board and the present. Thank you so much! Everyone had a good time and enjoyed everything, so that makes me really happy. Once again thank you Dawn.

Family Birthday Celebration

We recently had the pleasure of holding several workshops at The Sound Temple, and our experience was nothing short of exceptional. Dawn and her team were incredibly attentive, kind, and professional, ensuring that every detail was taken care of. They catered to all of our needs with a high level of efficiency while also respecting our privacy throughout our stay.

From the moment we arrived, it was clear that Dawn and her team were committed to creating a welcoming and nurturing environment. Their thoughtful approach made our workshops seamless and allowed us to focus entirely on our work. We felt truly supported and valued, and we couldn’t have asked for a better setting.

Thank you, Dawn and The Sound Temple team, for providing such an outstanding experience. We look forward to returning in the future!
