The Cloudroom has been a meditation space for 30 years. It’s on the corner of Richmond Road and Bonar St with the entrance in Bonar Street. Turn right after you enter the property and you’ll find yourself on the short path to the Cloudroom. There’s both chairs and meditation cushions available.

All dana based, meaning no set cost. There’s a box for dana (monetary gift/donation ) at the entrance. 

The teacher/guide is Eoin Meades.

Eoin has over 4 decades of meditation practice, including years immersed in Vajrayana practice, being a founding member of the Brisbane Zen group, long periods working with Insight Meditation teachers, study and practice of Advaita in India and then training as a Recollective Awareness teacher. There is an interview with Eoin here, covering experiences in and reflections on some of the early Vipassana / Insight Meditation retreats in Australia.
