Why join the gathering?

We recognise the profound impact of taking intentional pauses to nurture both body and spirit.

Here, every moment becomes an opportunity to realign, restore, and forge connections that extend beyond our time together.

Your Hosts

Kreet Kangur is a Queensland-based triathlete, certified personal trainer and Pilates instructor. Originally from a small island off the coast of Estonia, Kreet has been calling Brisbane her home since 2017.

Jen Valdes is a certified yoga teacher and sound bath facilitator. Her teachings are a happy blend of ritual and mysticism mixed with practical and accessible movement, hands-on assists and the power of sound. Jen was born and raised in Germany and has been based in the Sunshine state for the past seven years.

The Location

Nestled in the serene hills of Pullenvale, just 30 minutes from Brisbane's bustle, Temple Retreat offers an idyllic sanctuary for our gathering. This luxury wellness destination provides a peaceful haven from the rush of daily life.

Here, surrounded by native bushland, you'll find a place that invites you to truly slow down, breathe deeply, and connect with yourself and others. The retreat's calm, grounding energy perfectly complements our morning of movement, nourishment, and restoration.
