Let’s be honest.

Most weekends go something like this… race through the laundry, do the family big food shop, half-watch a documentary you’ll never finish, while you scroll Instagram for 20 minutes (okay, 40), and wonder where all the calm people live.

But for many women, it’s not just the weekend. It’s the weeks, the months, the invisible emotional labour that comes with decades of caregiving, career demands, or as women very often do, putting everyone else first.

There’s a quiet fatigue that builds up. A sense that, somehow, you've lost touch with the woman you were before all the lists, the roles, the “shoulds” and “should nots.”

But what if a few days away could actually change something?

Not just soothe your nerves temporarily, but rather gently press the reset on your nervous system, your thoughts, your energy… and help you walk into the days to come with something deeper than a to-do list. A refreshed sense of being. A renewed sense of you.

That’s exactly what the Embrace The Stillness Within You Yoga and Sacred Sound Retreat was created for.

This isn’t a quick-fix bubble bath and green smoothie situation. (Though I’m the first to admit, a long soak with candles can feel like medicine), this retreat goes far deeper. It’s a lovingly held space designed to help you recalibrate emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

As one participant shared after our last retreat:

"I came in exhausted, on autopilot, just hoping for a rest. I left with clarity, energy, and the kind of calm that doesn’t wash off in the shower."

So, What Actually Happens on Retreat?

Every part of this retreat has been lovingly crafted to help you soften into yourself. Over three nourishing nights in the peaceful Sydney Hinterlands, you’ll be guided through:

Daily yoga and breathwork to ease physical and mental tension, reconnect with your body, and support your nervous system.
Nāda Yoga and sacred sound practices that quieten the mind and awaken something deeper. I’ll be guiding you through mantra, meditative toning practices, svaraḥ, joyful Kirtan, and a soul-soothing sound bath.
Mindfulness and meditation to help you slow down and notice the beauty of being in stillness.

Reflective sessions to gently peel back the layers and reconnect with your inner voice (the wise one, not the one that reminds you to defrost the chicken.)

Free time in nature to simply be - sit with a cup of tea, journal in a hammock, or wonder barefoot in silence, the choice is yours.

Delicious vegetarian meals that leave you feeling both nourished and not needing a nap afterwards.

This retreat is open to both men and women. Whether you’re feeling tired, disconnected, or simply know it’s time to prioritise your wellbeing, this space welcomes you as you are.

But it’s not just what we do. It’s how it stays with you.

The Real Magic? It’s What Comes After

I’ve been leading retreats for over a decade now, and here’s the truth. It’s not just about what happens on the mat. It’s about what unfolds in the weeks and months that follow.

Retreats create a ripple effect.

"I’m still using the morning breathwork practice six months later. It changed how I start my day.”

"I went home and finally had that conversation I’d been avoiding for a year. Something shifted in me.”

"I stopped reacting so fast. I feel like I’ve reclaimed parts of myself I didn’t realise I’d left behind."

These aren’t isolated cases. They’re what happens when we stop, breathe, and listen deeply.

You don’t have to be flexible. You don’t have to be ‘spiritual’. You just have to be willing to come as you are. Tired, curious, overwhelmed, hopeful. And be open to trust the experience..

It’s Not an Escape. It’s a Coming Home.

Yes, the surrounding is beautiful. Yes, you’ll likely sleep better than you have in months. Yes, you’ll laugh, possibly cry, and almost certainly leave with new soul connections.

But more than anything? You’ll remember who you are beneath all the noise.

So if you’ve been feeling stuck, stretched too thin, or just need an excuse to exhale, consider this as your gentle nudge.
