Kings Beach Spring Retreat: Nature, Creativity & Connection

Join a small group of like-minded women and escape to the spectacular Fleurieu Peninsula for a restorative four-day/3 night retreat that celebrates creativity, nature connection and wellbeing as part of the SA Nature Festival. Set at the stunning and luxurious Kings Beach Retreat, overlooking the dramatic Waitpinga coastline, this small-group experience invites participants to slow down, reconnect with themselves and immerse in the natural world. The retreat includes guided art therapy, nature journalling, EcoArt activities, mindfulness, meditation, gentle movement and opportunities to explore the surrounding coastal environment. The theme is "Follow your dreams". No art experience required- the emphasis is on slowing down and connecting with self.

Nutritious meals, art materials and a journal are provided. An essential oil roller workshop with Louise Gutsche is also included. Massage is an optional extra.

Relaxation time for walks and sightseeing are included on Friday and Saturday afternoons.

Kings Beach Retreat will take your breath away- a dramatic fusion of raw nature and timeless architecture with spectacular views. Located on the prominent Kings Head a little over an hours drive from Adelaide, this hidden gem (designed by renowned architect Ian Hannaford) provides 360 degree views which encompass rural vistas with grazing cattle and kangaroos, the spectacular Waitpinga Cliffs, West Island, the Bluff and, in the far distance, the sandhills of the Coorong.

Paintings by acclaimed painter & sculptor Robert Hannaford enliven the walls of the retreat. The secluded Kings Beach and its ancient Aboriginal fish trap is only a two minute walk away along with the famous Heysen Trail.
