Mindful Meets ◡̈ | Wanderers Retreat Port Stephens

Hungry for genuine connections? You came to the right place. ◡̈

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. As this venue is a personal property, please ensure you read the full event & venue information below before committing. 

Our amazing venue sponsor have also prepared an exclusive discount code for all attendees, which will be emailed to you separately, upon confirmation of payment. This discount code only applies for bookings made from 15 Sept - 15 Dec 2024 when you book directly from their website at https://wanderersretreat.com/. 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! ◡̈
