As winter invites us to slow down and turn inward, we warmly invite you to spend a day reconnecting with yourself through ceremony, community and deep rest.

Join us for an intimate women’s retreat where you’ll be held in a nurturing space to pause, reflect, release and receive. Together we’ll share heartfelt conversations, nourish our bodies, connect with nature and honour ourselves through ancient and modern healing practices.

Your day includes:

• Women’s Circle & Connection

• Cacao Ceremony

• Restorative Sound Healing Journey & Reiki

• Traditional Despacho Ceremony

• Nourishing Homemade Lunch & Refreshments

• Fire Ceremony for Release & Intention Setting

Whether you’re seeking rest, healing, clarity or simply a day to refill your own cup, this retreat offers a space to soften, reconnect and remember the wisdom that already lives within you.

Investment: $120 per person

Location: Nords Wharf, NSW

The exact address will be emailed to ticket holders a few days before the retreat to honour the privacy of the venue.

Spaces are limited to keep the experience intimate, so we encourage early bookings.

We look forward to sharing this beautiful day with you. 

What is a Despacho Ceremony?

A Despacho is a sacred offering ceremony originating from the Andean traditions of Peru. Created in the spirit of Ayni.. the practice of reciprocity. it is a beautiful ritual of gratitude, prayer and intention.

Together we will create a collective offering to Pachamama (Mother Earth), giving thanks for all that we receive while planting heartfelt intentions for ourselves, our loved ones, our community and the Earth. It is a gentle reminder of our connection to one another, to nature and to something greater than ourselves.

Meet your Hosts!
