Join The Third Place at The Beach House in Wanderer's Retreat Port Stephens for MINDFUL MEETS! Surrounded by prominent and luscious greenery (+ a 3min drive to the beach), we are so thrilled to able to provide a safe space for us to come together, disconnect from digital distractions, and reconnect with one another, or solo if you choose to.

Whether you choose to make a wholesome weekend of it, or keep it for another day, I highly recommend their gorgeous treehouses for a proper mind and soul reboot.

Go Solo
Sit back and unwind by journaling, drawing, knitting, reading, or just doing nothing - anything that fills your mindfulness cup. Kindly bring your own materials to keep yourself occupied and make full use of this time with yourself.

Have a Yarn
We know how important it is to have a sense of belonging and familiarity, but building genuine connections take time. This is your time to connect with other individuals over a good chat about life, a good book, board games, music, the world - literally anything that you feel like. Your social status, political stance, financial status, gender, age, does not matter here. This is where strangers become acquaintances, and maybe eventually....friends.

See you at the third place! ◡̈
