Pumpkin Island Retreat Mar 13-18 2025
An opportunity to reconnect with nature and with the joy that’s possible from learning how to be with yourself, moment to moment with acceptance and love.
An Island Retreat Like no Other
In this 6 day retreat, we go on a journey through the elements, Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether as a vehicle of healing and transformation.
Dive into the healing power of nature through an immersion into yoga, meditation, breathwork, meditation, and workshops on the elements and more. In these 6 days, you get to experience how it feels to spend time getting back to the roots of being among the elements on a remote private island in paradise.
About
This annual retreat takes place on a unique remote and private island at the Southern tip of the Great Barrier Reef. The island is surrounded by coral and is only accessible via private ferry during high tides. It’s very exclusive and Yes, we have the whole island to ourselves!
The intention of this retreat is to transport you to a place both geographically and energetically, where you can completely recharge. Once on the island, the worries drop away and you are immersed in an experience that’s like no other.
The island has several boutique cabins, each with it’s own private beach area and kitchen. Private and share rooms are available on a first come, first serve basis and each cabin sleeps between 3-6 people.
If your looking for an experience of connection, time out for you to rejuvenate and explore the teachings of yoga, mindfulness, and nature, than this is for you!
