yOU ARE INVITED
Imagine yourself experiencing a relaxing, rejuvenating and transformative weekend with like-minded people, nestled in the charming waterfall region of Trentham, Victoria.
Surrounded by serenity and nature, you'll embark on a journey of self-discovery and connection, immersing yourself in empowering practices, heart-centred discussions and elemental rituals under the magical full moon of the Winter Solstice.
