Why join the gathering?

We recognise the profound impact of taking intentional pauses to nurture both body and spirit. Our thoughtfully crafted mornings offer an invitation for you to be part of a community that values authentic presence, mindful movement, and shared experiences. Here, every moment becomes an opportunity to realign, restore, and forge connections that extend beyond our time together.

Here, surrounded by native bushland, you'll find a place that invites you to truly slow down, breathe deeply, and connect with yourself and others. The retreat's calm, grounding energy perfectly complements our morning of movement, nourishment, and restoration.
