We welcome you

To a gentle space with open hearts and nurturing hands. A space to surrender back in to yourself, whilst being held in the arms of love.

With bodywork practitioners, wood fired sauna, wholesome food + many magical surprises; think of this retreat as a day spa experience that oozes out over three days. The intention for the weekend is to flow alongside the wider rhythms of nature - so all the experiences have been created with Djilba (Noongar Season) and the New Moon (Sunday 4th August) in mind.

The retreat will be located in the foggy forest of Balingup at the tranquil Origins retreat center; a great space to step away from the busyness of the outside world and find respite.

So if you fancy pausing and having all aspects of your being nourished, treat yourself to a ticket, or invite someone that you know who could do with the same kind of care and stillness.

Is so ready to share this healing space and to cocreate magic throughout our Nurturing Hands Retreat with whoever is feeling they could do with some TLC. Hearing the call of my heart louder and louder, these yin evenings and community offerings are where it is at for me. I crave s l o w n e s s and I am feeling from many that they are on the same page. Ultimately my intention is to create a space for you to explore, honour and plant seeds to rewrite the parts of your inner landscape that you have out grown, to create space for something more beautiful that is the real you now... Creating altars feels magical to me, I love sharing this offering in creative and expressive spaces.
