Programmes & Offerings
Banksia Wellness Retreats are run in various locations around Australia, with recent retreats taking place at Byron Bay and Myall Lakes. Their signature retreat ‘A Journey of Reconnection’, encourages guests take time out to reconnect with themselves and follows the structure below:
Morning – Days begin with movement and stillness in Meditation or Movement and Mobility sessions. This is followed by a delicious breakfast, before moving into creative workshops (such a Clay and Nature) mid morning to find our way to being in the present moment.
Afternoon – Lunch is followed by free time to enjoy the retreat or the surrounding Byron wildlife, before a late afternoon Meditation basics or Postural Movement session.
Evening – Dinner is followed by Yin Yoga or Vision Dreaming sessions where the focus is calming, restorative breath work, soft gentle movement and dreaming.
Facilities
Pool & Spa – Many guests find it hard to leave the retreat, stunning grounds and bird life. There is a saltwater plunge pool set in amongst the forest trees with an adjacent hut that homes a spa for your relaxation.
Stunning Coastal Location – You will have ample time to enjoy the beauty of Byron’s beaches, or take a drive through the stunning countryside to one of her majestical lookouts or waterholes. Explore thousands of hectares of unspoilt National Park allowing the most diverse and abundant wildlife to flourish. Tread lightly on 40km of unbroken beach all to yourself, or experience the stillness of one of Australia’s largest freshwater lakes.
