Rewild your Soul : Awakened in Nature - Mermaid Pools

Step away from the rush of life and into the timeless presence of nature.

On this guided half-day walk, we’ll journey to Mermaid Pool – a sacred Aboriginal women’s site hidden deep in Tahmoor Gorge. With its dramatic rock walls, cascading waterfall, and still waters, it’s a place of both beauty and quiet reverence.

We won’t swim here (both for safety and cultural respect), but we will walk mindfully, pausing for nature connection practices and guided reflection along the way. You’ll learn simple, powerful ways to drop out of your mind and into the living moment – supported by the bush, the birds, and the sound of flowing water.

We’ll also visit Mermaids Lookdown for a breathtaking view of the falls, and pass other lovely spots in the gorge.

This is more than a walk – it’s a journey inward, a chance to awaken your senses, still your thoughts, and remember your natural state of being.
