I just wanted to say a huge “thank you”.
You and Em are a formidable team, nurturing our body and soul, making for an unforgettable retreat experience. I have reflected at length on what a special time it was.
The Power Within: One Day Urban Retreat
Our Yoga Space
Mosman NSW, Australia
About the Experience
Step Away. Slow Down. Find Space.
Modern life rarely gives us the space to pause for long enough to truly reconnect with ourselves.
The Power Within is a one-day urban retreat designed to help you step away from the demands of everyday life and immerse yourself in a full day of breathwork, yoga, reflection, and meaningful connection.
Guided by Mark Moon and Em Cruickshank, this carefully curated experience combines Qi Gong, Yin Yoga, Spiritual Inquiry, and Expansion Breathwork to help you relax your body, quiet the mind, and reconnect with what matters most.
Whether you’re exploring retreat work for the first time or simply craving a meaningful day to reset, The Power Within offers a complete retreat experience in its own right while also serving as a natural introduction to our longer seasonal retreats.
What to Expect
This retreat is for anyone feeling stretched by the pace of modern life.
You may be navigating change, searching for greater clarity, feeling disconnected from yourself, or simply recognising the need to pause and invest in your wellbeing before life makes the decision for you.
No previous experience with breathwork, meditation, Qi Gong, is required, just a willingness to show up exactly as you are.
Throughout the day, you’ll be guided through a carefully paced journey that gently shifts you from doing into being.
Your experience includes:
Grounding Qi Gong to settle the body and cultivate presence
Restorative Yin Yoga to soften physical tension and encourage stillness
Guided Spiritual Inquiry exploring Dharma, purpose, perception, and the patterns shaping your life
A nourishing lunch with time to rest, reflect, and connect
An immersive and therapeutic Expansion Breathwork journey
Reflection, integration, and a closing circle to help carry the experience into everyday life
Why Attend?
More Than a Day to Yourself
This isn’t about escaping your life for a day. It’s about creating enough space to hear yourself again.
Throughout the one-day retreat you’ll experience the restorative power of slowing down, reconnecting with your body, and exploring practices that support greater clarity, resilience, and emotional wellbeing.
To create an experience that feels personal, spacious, and deeply supportive, places are intentionally limited.
Many people leave feeling lighter, more grounded, and more connected. If you’re ready to step away from the noise, reconnect with yourself, and return to your life with greater clarity, presence, and purpose, we’d love to welcome you.
A Pathway Into Something Deeper
The Power Within is both a meaningful experience in its own right and the perfect introduction to our seasonal retreat series.
If you’ve been curious about retreat work but aren’t ready to commit to a multi-day experience, this one-day retreat offers an opportunity to experience our philosophy, our facilitation style, and the supportive community that sits at the heart of every Power Within Retreat we create.

Testimonials
So grateful to attend.
I just attended a retreat in Sydney facilitated by Mark and it was transformative. He has a calm and open style which enables you to get the very best from his breathwork.
Thank you for being amazing.
I feel so lucky to have encountered Mark’s breathwork sessions while recently on a retreat with him. I was dealing with raw trauma and grief and felt like my nervous system was about to collapse.
I am grateful for finding Mark.
Every session has taken me deeper into my body to feel, process, release and integrate whatever is needed. As a result my life feels more spacious and I am less reactive.
I can’t recommend Mark highly enough.
Mark Moon is an extraordinary breathwork facilitator and one of the most emotionally attuned practitioners I’ve encountered. Mark doesn’t just guide breathwork, he holds space for transformation.
It unblock the areas holding me back.
Mark Moon's breathwork sessions are amazing. I worked with him on a number of sessions over 8 weeks having never done Breathwork before and noticed a significant shift in my state of mind.
