Stream Entering Monastery

Stream Entering Monastery established in 2010 circa, is a place to quiet the mind, look deeply, and enjoy the wonders of life within and around us through the practices of sitting meditation, walking meditation, mindful eating, deep relaxation meditation, and Dharma sharing...

In June 2021, Stream Entering Monastery was relocated from Beaufort to Porcupine Ridge (10Km from Daylesford). Daylesford is a popular destination for tourists. The town is in the foothills of the Great Dividing Range of Victoria, Australia. It is approximately 108 kilometers northwest of Melbourne.

After moving to the new location at Porcupine Ridge in June 2021, all activities of the monastery are no longer held at the Beaufort location.

From June 2021 to date, we have hosted Days of Mindfulness every Thursday and Sunday, joyful “community working bee” days on the first and third Saturdays of each month at the monastery (530 Porcupine Ridge Rd, Porcupine Ridge).

Currently, there are 11 residential monastics at Stream Entering Monastery (3 monks and 8 nuns as shown on the photos)

Stream Entering Monastery respectfully acknowledges the Dja Dja Wurrung people as the Traditional Owners and custodians of the land on which we practice. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present, and emerging, and recognize their deep and continuing connection to the land and waters of this region.
