Not at all. The retreat is like a workshop where we introduce several evidence-based wellbeing concepts from the science of Positive Psychology, engage in some self-reflection exercises/activities and a broad range of mindfulness/meditation exercises.

There is no personal sharing other than some insights that you might have because of the exercises, and this is by invitation only. We do not share personal challenges, or details about ourselves and we do not offer counselling. We provide a safe, non-judgmental, welcoming and all-inclusive environment. There is often a lot of laughter and a sense of lightness.

Between 10- 14 maximum.

Our participants range from Students to Women in their 70’s with most women being in their 30’s -50’s.

We have had mothers participating with their daughters in their early twenties as well as Grandmothers.

Our participants are women who come from all walks of life with various backgrounds from all around Australia. The Bundeena retreat and Sydney Urban retreats naturally attract many participants from NSW, but people have travelled interstate to attend.

Some are professionals, some are mothers, entrepreneurs, students, single, retired and some are women who are experiencing life transitions.

Not at all. Many women come on their own as they are craving some ME time. Some bring a friend or two. We ensure that everyone feels welcomed and included. We will be spending most of the day as a cohesive group.

We find that our participants are usually like-minded women who all get on with each other.

There will be various sessions on wellbeing, intertwined with a range of mindfulness/meditation exercises, nourishing morning & afternoon tea, lunch, a bushwalk and some quiet relaxing time.

The Bundeena retreat is held in a beautiful, tranquil home in Bundeena in the Royal National Park, overlooking the bush and the ocean.

There are facilities to spread out and take a rest. Comfortable seating, natural light and if you have time to spare, you can spend the night at a local Air BNB. It takes about 70 minutes from the Sydney CBD and it is a beautiful drive.

You will leave the retreat feeling energised, rested, affirmed, and equipped with a range of tools and strategies that will help you to bring more balance into your every day, enhancing your personal wellbeing and equipping you with better coping mechanisms.

The day offers you the opportunity to slow down, create some space and re-connect with who you are and reassess what matters to you most.

Absolutely. The strategies can be easily applied in your family, work and other relationships. Everyone can benefit from them.

The bushwalk is of easy to moderate challenge with different terrain ranging from sand, established board walks and some sandstone cliffs. The walk takes about 1 hour with 2 short breaks in between to enjoy the scenery.

To continue and strengthen the work that we have started, we offer a follow up subscription program called UPLIFT, where we meet six times during the year via Zoom with one end-of-the year face to face gathering.

The sessions are being held from 7.30 pm till 8.45 pm at various days during the week and cost $159. The sessions are deepening the learnings from the retreat and introduce new wellbeing tools.

Our aim is to offer our program to as many women as possible. Please contact us directly to apply for a payment plan.

We offer bespoke programs for mothers and daughters, HSC students, corporate teams, schools and other groups. Please contact us directly to discuss your needs and requirements.
