TOURS TOTAL $1151. ACCOMMODATION FOR DURATION (MINIMUM) $460p/p and The Retreat is $455. So, your total cost is around $2000, depending on the accommodation you choose. I have priced it out this way so you only pay for who and what you access/use. You can book the parts at your own pace, you do not have to pay it all upfront or pay an 'interest' charge on a payment plan like many retreats do. However, the sooner you book and secure your spot on any and all tours, the better for you. Accommodation allows you to make a 50% deposit and pay the balance 30 days prior. Don't over-think it, if you feel the calling, the right way forward for you will figure itself out. Follow the feeling to be there, if that's what's happening for you.

SPECIAL ALSO NOTE: OUR INTENTION IS TO ENCOUNTER WHALES (MAINLY HUMPBACK), WHALE SHARKS, MANTA RAYS, SEA TURTLES AND AN ABUNDANCE OF OTHER MARINE LIFE HOWEVER, THESE ARE ALL WILD ANIMALS AND WE CAN IN NO WAY GUARANTEE ANY ANTICIPATED OUTCOME OF OUR INTENTION. EVERY ATTENDEE PARTICIPATES AT THEIR OWN RISK AND ARE FULLY RESPONSIBLE FOR MANAGING AND ACCEPTING THEIR OWN EXPECTATIONS OF THE WILDLIFE WE INTEND TO ENCOUNTER.

* * * ABOUT YOUR RETREAT LEADER * * *

Jen is an ACCREDITED Ancient Wisdom and Wellbeing Practitioner as well as an Early-Learning Facilitator, teaching both adults and children all about creating a more meaningful relationship with earth, oceans, nature and self, in fun and engaging ways.

She is also a multiple best-selling Author, with her one of her most recent books, written during Melbourne lockdowns, titled "Sacred Whale Connections". She will present this fascinating and spiritually enriching research with you during the Retreat. She will also present her latest children's book "The Whale Who Forgot His Way - Swimming Back Home For His Birthday" as a fun bonus. (It is a children's book, actually written to teach adults too.)

During the social nights, Jen will share her specially written whale songs with you so you can take those home with you and continue the connection with the whales way after the Retreat has ended. Singing up the whales, with dance, becomes the embodiment of the whale wisdom and your ongoing access to the ocean medicine that we will invoke.

Combining her own spiritual evolutionary experience and her capacity as an Author, Performer and Professional Presenter, Jen also includes Intuitive ART classes in the Retreats to help everyone unlock more of your own true potential. It's a NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY process, that will surprise, honour, reflect and respect your true self.

It is her aim to also incorporate ACTIVITY-BASED PHILANTHROPY where possible in to the Retreat Schedule, giving back whilst gaining so much, and leaving a positive impact as well as a minimal footprint wherever we are.

* * * ABOUT LAND & SEA COUNTRY * * *

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we live and work and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. 

We recognise and acknowledge Baiyungu, Thalanyji and Yinigurdira people as the traditional owners of Cape Range National Park land and water.

Ningaloo Reef that fringes the Ningaloo Coast is 260 kilometres (160 mi) long and is Australia's largest fringing coral reef and the only large reef positioned very close to a landmass. The coast and reef draw their name from the Australian Aboriginal Wajarri language with the word NINGALOO meaning "promontory", "deepwater", or "high land jutting into the sea". The YAMATJI peoples of the Baiyungu and Yinigudura are the traditional owners of the area.

The Muiron Islands that we visit on Day 2 are within this coastal zone.
