Event description
Light Witch presents FULL MOON RISE
The annual gathering returns for its third time, in 2025.
Do you need a space that inspires you to live your most authentic life?
Under the cosmic radiance of the full moon in Leo, we rise up and remember the powerful transformation and strength that is ignited when we sit in circle and share stories, sacred knowledge and wisdom.
As we gather, from across the country, on the nurturing land of Bundjalung Country and with the energy of the Lion behind you on this day, you will experience a clearing for your heart and absorb the courage to express exactly who you are meant to be.
At our exclusive retreat, you will be supported by experienced and humble leaders, who will inspire you and fuel your deepest passions.
Just as we did at the Full Moon Rise retreat in 2023 and 2024, everyone who attends this powerful day, will be forever changed. All genders are welcome, and whether you arrive solo or with friends, every unique circumstance is celebrated, and all are invited to contribute to this collective tapestry of empowerment and nourishment.
Join us again in 2025 and meet other heart led souls who are ready to RISE up and live courageously.

WHAT PEOPLE SAID IN 2023 + 2024
"We loved the privacy and openness of the venue, the structure and pace of the day and the obvious thoughtfulness that had gone into every aspect of the program.
Personally I couldn’t stop gazing into the forest shrouded in mist across the way and the spacious feel as we sat out on the lawn on our yoga mats. We both really appreciated the yummy food and having plenty of relaxed time to enjoy it.
I particularly liked the way our movements and inner processes on the mat encouraged embodiment which led to a deeper level of introspection when it came to identifying what we wanted to let go of.
The simplicity of the fire ceremony and genuineness with which it was presented really worked for me. All in all it was such a lovely opportunity to go within and release whatever needs to be released.
As someone who has been involved in running international Yoga/ Ayurveda conferences and festivals celebrating indigenous knowledges on the NSW South Coast, I know how much work goes into an event. Well done." - DR SHAUN MATTHEWS, Sydney
"The space that you hold is so surreal, the atmosphere and the people who were drawn to the Full Moon Rise retreat were amazing. The ecstatic dance really resonated with me. I love to dance and move to shift energy, that was the perfect step to get back into it. The sound healing during the yin yoga session was SO beautiful." - CHARLOTTE, Byron Bay
"We could have danced into the night once the moon was up!" - BEN, Mullumbimby
"Thanks again for a connected nourishing space to bring on the Leo Moon. The attention to detail was great. As well as the activities. I loved the venue and the how you scheduled the activities. Having space to have some down time in between was lush." - ASH, Kingscliff
