CONNECTION
October 18 @ 12:00 pm - October 20 @ 2:30 pm
Escape to the tranquil NSW Southern Highlands for a 3-day, 2-night retreat designed to help you reconnect – with yourself, nature, horses, and others.
Our CONNECTION retreat invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and find balance through meaningful interactions and mindful practices in a safe, nurturing environment where your nervous system can unwind, allowing space for deep healing and inner peace.
Picture yourself surrounded by the beauty of nature, where the trees and wildlife offer a haven for renewal.
Throughout the weekend, you’ll engage in yoga, breathwork, art in nature, equine therapy, meditation, and a talking with trees workshop – all designed to foster connection and presence, guided by expert facilitators.
Whether connecting soul to soul with horses, healing through breathwork, taking time for yourself, or sharing experiences with supportive women, you’ll discover a deeper connection to yourself and the world around you.
Join us for this transformative experience and leave feeling rejuvenated, inspired, and empowered!
