ConserVentures Nature Immersion Retreat

Step away from the busyness of daily life and immerse yourself in nature for a weekend of rest, reconnection, and inspiration.

Just over an hour north of Sydney, this intimate retreat takes place on a stunning private riverside property — home to rich mangrove ecosystems, native bush foods, and a sacred Indigenous site.

You can now join for the full weekend or choose a 1-day experience (Saturday 9am–4pm) for a nourishing day in nature.

🌿 Across the weekend, you’ll enjoy:

• Bush to Bowl Workshop: Learn from First Nations Yaegl Man, Clarence Bruinsma, for a unique cultural and ecological experience in Bush to Bowl’s Native Agroforestry Garden. Clarence will share knowledge about bushfoods, native plants, and sustainable land practices, while guiding participants through a hands-on workshop in the garden.

• Nature Journalling Workshop: Deepen your observation skills and curiosity using your own gifted journal.

• Guided Nature Walks and Citizen Science Activities

• Guided Nature Meditations to connect to your body and surroundings

• Nourishing, fully-catered meals

• Time to relax, reflect, and connect with like-minded people

✨ Day Participants (Saturday 9am–4pm): Enjoy both the Bush to Bowl and Nature Journalling workshops plus a catered lunch amidst the peaceful natural setting. It's the perfect taste of the full immersion retreat without camping.

Your host is Jada Andersen, ecologist, conservationist, and founder of ConserVentures, whose mission is to create experiences that recharge you while regenerating nature.

Choose to arrive Friday afternoon (recommended) or Saturday morning, with optional add-on transport from Berowra Station available for Friday arrivals.

Spaces are limited to keep this experience personal and immersive. Join us for a weekend or a day that will leave you recharged, inspired, and more deeply connected to the natural world.

Note: Weekend attendees will need to organise their own camping gear. If you don't have camping equipment, we recommend hiring from Overnight Adventures. Reach out if you’d like support with this or have any questions.
