Winter is one of those seasons when we can start to feel a little sluggish, unmotivated and tempted to hibernate. However, with things slowing down around us socially, it is also a great time to reset, recharge and focus on your wellness. After all, you still have around six months of the working year to go, and we all need to take time to reset so we can power ahead in the coming months. So if you are not heading off for a “European Summer” this year, it may be time to consider a wellness retreat. Here are some of our top picks from around Australia.
This unique journey will have you embarking on a pathway of rewilding and connection in the heart of Ballina, NSW. Sugar Beach Ranch, which was founded by the late music industry legend Chris Murphy OAM, has opened to the public, both with an Airbnb offering, and with their new Sweet Retreats.
The retreat concept was created by Stevey Arena, Chris’ daughter who has recently taken over the ranch. Together with Maxime Willems from MW Therapy and Training, the duo has created a unique experience with its point of difference being that guests have the opportunity to interact with horses. Maxime specialises in equine wellness where guests can connect with these majestic animals. The idea is to help reduce stress, improve you communication and observation skills and more. Additionally guests will enjoy yoga, mindfulness and sound therapy on the deck with the horses. Painting with the horses, a five-star dinner on the beach, dove release ceremony, regenerative planting and much more.
Brought to you by three well-known wellness experts including Kate Kendall, Siobhan Fildes and Chasca Summerville, this one-day retreat is catered for women who are interested in learning how to live in harmony with their bodies.
