Next Retreat - May/June 2026
A Rite of Rebirth
This exclusive experience brings together like-minded women in an intimate four-day winter rite of passage to embrace the underworld path of surrender, release, renewal and rebirth.
Connect to the sacred land of Bundjalung country and align with the yuletime journey which takes us within, asks us to examine the things we have kept hidden, to release what no longer serves and to emerge as a renewed version of ourselves.
Create space for light, joy, passion and power through powerful yogic practices like breathwork, asanas and meditations.
Invoke the divine feminine through sacred cacao ceremony, and deepen your connection to self and others through safe, empathic circles.
Return to your life ready to birth your new vision!
What to expect
A rite of passage is an intentional, structured process to bring us through liminal space, into conscious transformation, so that we can emerge as a new version of ourselves, free of old baggage and beliefs from the past.
Along the way we will also -
Nourish with locally-sourced wholefoods, elixirs & treats.
Make heart-felt connections.
Experience deep relaxation with yin yoga.
Invigorate, cleanse and energise with morning yoga and pranayama (breathwork).
Infuse body, heart and soul with passion, joy and creativity in sacred cacao ceremony.
Learn new ways to maximise your creativity by understanding your unique astrology chart.
Ground and return gently and joyfully to the world with nourishing kahuna massage in a beautiful Balinese-inspired day spa.
The Venue
Located in the lush Byron Bay hinterlands, the container for our ritual is a bespoke, eco-luxe dwelling inspired by Balinese living and the beauty and power of the local Bundjalung country.
Made with locally-sourced timber, the property features seven private decks, private outdoor showers, views on all sides of the stunning forest, a magnesium pool, a yoga shala, and abundant space to seek time alone in nature.
A reminder that sustainability doesn't mean sacrificing luxury, the property is off-grid, and invites us to share an ethos of treasuring rain-water, recycling responsibly, and walking lightly on the land.

Testimonials
"It’s been so lovely and peaceful, having new experiences that I’m really vibing with. I’ve never forced myself to be in such a slow process before, and it was really good. It’s the most relaxed I’ve been for two months… or more! I’ve enjoyed the new experiences I’ve had. I’m not generally someone who would go for something like this but having everything come and just taking it in has been really nice and refreshing for me. Meeting new people was really nice. It was a really nice group that came. "
-Caitlyn
"I felt so relaxed and so present in my own body... really calm and relaxed, and honestly a lot more energetic… just being up here has been really rejuvenating. I really enjoyed just taking the time away from the real world for a little while and just working on my body and my mental state. It was so lovely, everyone was so open and trusting and shared so much about their lives and it’s so rare to find an environment like that where you can just be so open and no one’s going to judge you. It was something new for me and I really really enjoyed it, and I think I’m going to be taking a lot away from it. Just do it, make the jump, it’s a few days and I know it can be hard to make time away from your busy life but it’s so worth it to just take time away and really focus on yourself. "
-Martha
"I experienced feelings I wasn’t expecting… it was unexpected in the best way. I feel very relaxed and fulfilled. "
-Georgia
"I felt very emotional, but in the best way, in a healing way. It really took my out of my own head. I feel a lot happier and relaxed… I’ve really been working through some things internally that I needed to release and I feel like I’ve done that. "
-Hannah
"I enjoyed the peacefulness and the food. Anyone that’s wanting to get back to nature, do it! "
-Christine
"I loved the tranquility, the balance. The agenda was perfect, lots of relaxation, yoga, sound healing, long walks, it was beautiful, everything was really lovely about this weekend. It was lovely to meet new people who are all in a similar place, looking for relaxation, balance, connection, to go within, it was beautiful. For anybody who’s a little bit stressed out, is probably a little bit stuck, is looking to release old patterns or old people from their life, anybody who is just looking for a little time out from their day-to-day world… come along, it’s awesome! Who doesn’t want to be here with this view taking time out for themselves? Do it! "
-Kara
"The gourmet vegetarian meals were absolutely superb! It was wonderful meeting a lot of people, likeminded, we had lots of lovely conversations about various things... Anybody looking to do something a little bit different, out of the ordinary, find some peace in themselves, you need to know it’s a very quiet, blissful experience. Go and try this retreat, Mae-Lin is a wonderful facilitator and you’ll enjoy every moment of it! "
-Barbara
