Reconnection Retreat
Event description
RECONNECTION WEEKEND AWAY
18- 19 October 2025 | Torquay (in the Hills, looking towards the ocean. What a nature dream!), Victoria
Is this your year to press pause?
The world is loud, busy, and frankly a bit bonkers. This 24-hour escape is your permission slip to step off the treadmill and sink into honest, zero-fluff connection with the people who once shaped your Reach journey.
Whether you last pulled on a Reach tee in ’94 or wrapped up your final staff / supporter / crew / camp in 2014, you’re welcome round this campfire.
Why Come?
You’ll leave with… | Because we’ll give you… |
|---|---|
A softer nervous system and a body that remembers ease | Slow-paced mornings, gentle movement, and ocean-air breathing walks |
Clarity on what actually matters next | Reflective circles that cut through the noise and surface what’s true |
A reignited sense of belonging | Unhurried conversations with people who “get it” without life-story catch-up tags |
A bank of practical, doable reconnection habits | Mini skill swaps (think stretch-sessions, playlist-building) led by alumni |
A full cup of hope & good humour | Communal meals, late-night yarns, belly-laughs, and permission to be imperfect |
What to Expect
No agenda theatrics. We’re trading run-sheets for rhythms - shared meals, nature wanders, fire-side chats, optional sunrise dip.
Choose-your-own-pace. Join a reflective circle, sneak off for a nap, or help chop veggies. Your weekend, your call.
Nature-soaked setting. A humble, no frills, heart-filled lodge tucked in the rolling Torquay hills - close enough to Melbourne, far enough from emails.
All-inclusive simplicity. We’ve bundled wholesome food, comfy shared rooms (BYO sleeping bag), and low-impact activities into one fair price.

“Keeping that very special thing we discovered years ago alive.” – Pills
