Weekend Retreat.
A weekend dedicated to connecting to and nurturing your whole self, whilst receiving and enjoying the beauty of Kinglake.
Located only 75 minutes from Frankston and Melbourne CBD and 45 minutes from Ringwood.
We gather with like-hearted people on a weekend retreat which weaves together nature connection, meditation practices, Yoga, embodied movement, energy healing modalities and nourishing food.
This is a deeply healing retreat with our own private use of the grounds and accommodation, with yoga and wellbeing practices. An immersive retreat, fully catered and all inclusive.
This is your invitation to connect with yourself as you rest and restore and unwind the tension held by the nervous system, body, mind and heart.
