NEXT RETREAT….
ADELAIDE HILLS - September 2026
The Hills of Adelaide have a vibe! If you are yet to experience the beauty and nature here, let me give you a little insight…
A cool breeze begins to whisper, the hills are coming alive, flowers starting to blossom. Music dances through the streets, smells of wine and baked sweets. The mornings are slow and quiet. Potent beginnings for stretching out on your mat. Yoga and meditation practice aligns us for the day of wandering, sharing and creating in the stirrings of spring sunshine. This retreat will be simple and sweet. We will stay together in an elegant cottage, surrounded by nature, not far from town. A biodynamic wine tour and tasting allows us to get a feel for the land and the farmers looking after the soil through regenerative practices. A botanic garden walk to soothe the soul and lastly, a play date with a clay and pottery workshop is a must in South Australia.
Come and join us on this bespoke weekend getaway, Price starts from $790!
