About

You're invited to gather with us as we reconnect with the spirit of the land, the wisdom of our ancestors, and the vibrant heartbeat of community. Nestled creekside in the lush heart of the Gold Coast hinterland, this immersive 3-day retreat invites you to step into a space where the rhythms of nature and the timeless practices of our wild roots come alive.

Together, we’ll explore both inner and outer landscapes as we return to our true nature - cultivating skills that restore connection, aliveness, and reciprocity. Remembering and honouring what it means to be human, living in right relationship with the land.

This fully catered, hands-on retreat will nourish your body, mind, and spirit, offering a chance to slow down, unplug from the busyness of modern-day life, and experience wild, village-style living. Whether you're drawn to the arts of ancient craft, the quiet wisdom of nature, or the power of somatic, trauma-informed practices, there’s space for all to drop in deeply.
