About

This September is the time to transition from winter into the freshness of spring by pausing to deeply replenish yourself.

Escape the rush of daily life and immerse yourself in the transformative experience of our Nourish and Flourish Retreat, a Yoga and Meditation Retreat designed to replenish your body, mind, and soul.

Held at the serene Gymea Eco Resort & Spa, nestled in the lush rainforest just south of Mt. Wollumbin in Northern NSW, this retreat offers the perfect sanctuary to reconnect with your true Self.

Through the deeply restorative practices of Dru Yoga and Meditation—renowned for rebalancing the nervous system and nurturing heartfelt connections—you'll discover a profound sense of belonging, renewal, and peace. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or new to yoga and meditation, our Nourish and Flourish Retreat invites you to step into a space of luxurious calm, where nature, community, and self-care unite to help you truly flourish.

"The retreat was an experience of a lifetime. Life changing for me. I've never felt so comfortable, cared for and supported, as I did at the Dru Retreat. I didn't know anyone, I came alone, however I felt like I belonged from the moment I arrived, safe and nurtured. Kindness, community and growth is what I will take away. I cannot wait for the next one." Trudy Anderson
