Soul's Reflection Retreat

Join us for an introspective, cosy and deeply nourishing retreat June 14 - 17 at Maleny Lodge. An intentionally small group offering, this retreat is designed to nurture you intimately, with healing self-care appointments built into experience.

Relaxation and Restoration

will underpin every moment of our June Retreat.

Through my work I’ve found that women have such a hard time embracing a slower pace.

Sometimes what we need is a full reset, where we get back to that regulated and peaceful state. And after fully embracing that place and the restoration it provides, we’re able to better prioritise ourselves and feel a greater sense of flow in our daily lives.

The Leading Ladies

This retreat I’ll be joined by an intimate team of wonderful women, who have a heart to uplift and encourage others through gentle healing modalities.

  • Michelle will be offering Lomi Lomi massage.

    “I’m passionate about supporting you to consciously reconnect with your inner strength and remove blocks, to bring harmony and balance between the mind, body, and soul. My approach is heart-centred, intuitive and supportive to guide participants to deep transformation.”

  • Jo will be offering holistic facials, tailored to your skin’s needs.

    “My approach to wellness rituals are grounding and enriching, celebrating the harmony between nature and personal well-being. Where we delve deep into the essence of being, the rhythm of daily life and the power of plants.

    Whether you are seeking rejuvenation, relaxation or soulful connection, my services are curated to meet your unique needs.”

  • Mel

    From the moment I arrived, I felt completely pampered and cared for. The sense of connection with the other women was profound. What began as a gathering of strangers quickly felt like family. Cas’s choice of facilitators and practitioners was impeccable, and the love and care she put into every detail shone through.

  • Pauline

    Cas, you went above and beyond to make my first retreat experience absolutely wonderful!

    There was no chance of me feeling like I missed out on anything, because you catered to my dairy and gluten free needs! (Though coming home, I was immediately missing the plated meals).

    It was a weekend of honest conversations, caring words, honesty and openness. Cas, you put in so much detail and it didn’t go unnoticed.

We’ve sold out!
