A New Year Day Retreat
Embodied Presence & Intention
Saturday 16 January | 10am- 5pm | Red Hill, Mornington Peninsula
This day is a gentle invitation to slow down, return home to your body, and soften into the qualities that already live within you. We gather to deepen the relationship we have with ourselves and our lives, noticing which threads of your body’s innate intelligence are ready to be felt, nurtured, and cultivated as you move into the new year.
Your truest intentions begin from this quiet connection within.
This is not about doing more. It is about returning to what is already within you.
Held under a waxing moon — a time naturally aligned for gathering energy, building momentum, and calling things in — this day offers space to integrate what is ready to complete and step into 2027 with greater presence, choosing the energy you want to live from.
The Space
Nestled in Endeavour Fern Gully on Bunurong / Boon Wurrung Country, Nearkey Biik (meaning “Take Care of Country”) is a beautiful 27-hectare National Trust property that encompasses one of the Mornington Peninsula’s last remaining pockets of original temperate rainforest. We will gather in the light-filled Education and Environment Centre—a spacious, modern room that opens directly onto the land. The indoor sanctuary is fully air-conditioned for your comfort, and a large, shaded deck offers plenty of space to breathe and connect deeply with the surrounding landscape.
What We Will Explore Together
• Gentle Yoga Flow to arrive fully in the body
• Guided gratitude meditation
• Circle time to share what is present
• Group Spinal Energetics session working with your body and the individual & group energetic field for deeper self connection, processing & integration
• Optional nature walk through the fern gully (a mix of boardwalk, open path and bush track)
• Embodied intention work with guided and self-guided practices, and time to put pen to paper
• Restorative yoga with essential oils
• Nourishing lunch and afternoon tea
