The Experience
Four days in Kangaroo Valley to slow down, move your body, eat well, rest deeply, create, laugh and play.
​
HORIZON is not a packed schedule or a rigid program. It is carefully curated and designed with activities that each offer a different way to step out of the usual pace of life and stay present. It is also highly encouraged to 'choose your own adventure' and listen in to what you need at each moment.
​
Some parts invite you into your body. Some give your mind room to settle. Some bring lightness, expression or shared experience. Together, they create space to notice what you need, what feels good and what you may want more of in your everyday life.
12 to 15 October | Kangaroo Valley, NSW | 3 nights, 4 days
A retreat shaped by the senses
So much of everyday life asks you to be switched on, available and moving quickly from one thing to the next.
​
HORIZON offers a different pace.
​
A morning that begins with tea, movement and breath. A long walk through the valley. Food shared slowly. Bare feet in the earth. Scent, sound, music, open air and the kind of quiet that gives your body time to catch up.
​
The experience is designed to feel grounded and warm. Meaningful, but not heavy. Social, but not overwhelming. Structured, but never rigid.
​
You can take part in the program, rest when you need to and let the retreat meet you where you are.
What happens at HORIZON
Every part of HORIZON has been chosen to help you step out of the rush and into a slower rhythm.
Movement
Begin the day with practices that bring you back into your body. Across the retreat, movement may include yoga, slow morning flow, dance, hiking, barefoot grounding and breath-led practices. You do not need to be flexible, fit or experienced. The invitation is to move in a way that feels good, present and your own.
Meditation and breath
HORIZON includes guided meditation and breathwork designed to help you pause and notice what is here. These sessions are grounded and accessible, with no pressure to have a particular kind of experience.
Nature and hiking
Spend time outdoors in the fresh air, among the trees, listening to birdsong with the earth underfoot. The guided hike includes bush awareness activities and time to take in the land at a slower pace. This is nature as part of the experience, not just the backdrop.
Sound and stillness
Sound bath and yin yoga sessions offer a gentle way to settle the mind and body. These moments are designed to help you slow the pace and give your body permission to do less.
Creativity and sensory workshops
HORIZON includes creative and sensory experiences such as perfume making, journalling prompts and hands-on workshops. You do not need to be creative. You only need to be open to noticing and trying something without needing it to be impressive.
Food and shared meals
Meals are part of the retreat rhythm. Expect nourishing food, slow dining, grazing lunches, long tables and space to enjoy what is in front of you. HORIZON is an alcohol-free experience, with thoughtfully crafted alcohol-free drinks served throughout the retreat.
Music, storytelling and play
This is a retreat, but it is not sleepy. Through storytelling, music, dance, DJ moments, firelight and shared moments under the stars, HORIZON makes room for joy, humour and lightness too.
Spacious me time
The program includes free time for swimming, journaling, resting, wandering or simply doing less. You are encouraged to listen to your body and choose what you need.
