Come to where the majestic trees of the forest meet the pure waters of the great Southern Ocean and immerse yourself in a deeply healing environment. Enjoy morning meditation, twice daily yoga sessions, gourmet nutritious vegetarian gluten free food, indigenous cultural experiences, group adventures, along with precious time for self-contemplation. With an increased sense of connection to the magnificence of nature, to the generous heart of your fellow participants and to your own inner radiance you will leave truly refreshed, with renewed vitality for the simple joy of being alive.
'This retreat was special in so many ways, the place, the big views, the people, the sharing, kindness and generosity. Taking time to be together with purpose, opening to the gifts of yoga rand meditation has reminded me once again what really matters. Tim and Anna's dedication, insight and generosity is truly inspiring-they facilitate a coming together with pure intent which ripples and lingers a longtime after.' (Retreat Participant, April 2021)
