Restore & Revive Retreat

Join us on Sunday 28 May to immerse yourself in an enriching experience that provides you with the opportunity to relax in nature and reconnect with yourself.


Set in an architectural state-of-the-art venue located in Park Orchards, we welcome you to a day filled with heart felt wellness activities. The day will begin with a centering breathwork session. During this embodied workshop you'll be guided through powerful techniques to fully process, release, let go and heal.


A restorative yoga session is scheduled for you to stretch out and release any built-up tension. This session is designed to nurture and revive the being within. It will include a breath-based practice that explores both yang (strong) and yin (soft) elements of yoga.


The day will end with an immersive sound healing experience, presented by an internationally recognised sound healer, connecting you with the vibration that exists behind all things. The handpan, didjeridu, flutes, and crystal bowls will take you on a sound journey that will leave you feeling rejuvenated and recharged from within.


Throughout this exclusive experience, you'll indulge in thoughtfully prepared, and healthy vegetarian food presented by our private chef, that nourishes both your body and soul.

There will also be the opportunity for self reflection and recharge through the option of a sauna experience, meditation or a guided walk.


We invite you to join us for this unique wellness retreat and discover the beauty of finding stillness within yourself.

Retreat Pricing: $465
