RETREAT MANIFESTO

More Than A Getaway

This isn't about escaping your life, it's about coming back to it lighter. Two nights in the hills, with breathwork, hypnotherapy, movement, and reflection, to slow down, soften what's been weighing on you, and reconnect with yourself. The kind of reset you'll still feel months from now.

Are You Ready ?

NOT FOR

Just another spa weekend.

A passive escape.

A quick fix that fades.

YES for

Hypnotherapy for real change.

Breathwork that shifts your state.

Movement that brings you back to life.

Coming home lighter, clearer, more like yourself.

The Six Pillars

The rhythm of the weekend is deliberate. We oscillate between deep, intensive inward work and necessary spaciousness for integration. There is no rushed tourism here- only the time and space required to create genuine internal shifts.

Breathwork

Access deep states of consciousness through guided somatic breathing. Clear stagnant energy and reconnect with your physical body.

Mindset Workshops

Rewire subconscious limiting beliefs using hypnotherapy techniques. Create profound internal shifts in a safe, expertly held environment.

Yoga

Ground your nervous system with intentional movement. Build physical resilience and flexibility to holistically support your inner work.

Bush Hikes

Immerse yourself in the grounding energy of the Hawkesbury foothills. Reconnect with nature through expansive, mindful walking.

Reflection & Integration

Dedicated space to process your breakthroughs. Journaling and quiet contemplation designed to solidify your weekend's transformation.

Manifesting & Direction

Gain crystal clarity on your next chapter. Leave with actionable intentions and a renewed sense of unshakeable purpose.

A Container For Change

A weekend to exhale. 15 to 17 October.

Tucked into the leafy acreage of Kenthurst, just under an hour from the city, our October retreat is a chance to step out of the noise and back into yourself.

You'll arrive to birdsong instead of traffic, surrounded by bushland, open sky and the kind of quiet that lets your nervous system finally drop a gear. Over three unhurried days you'll move through breathwork, guided meditation and long stretches of nothing-to-do, all held in a beautiful yoga retreat setting designed for exactly this.

No screens demanding your attention. No inbox. Just space to breathe, rest, eat well and remember what calm actually feels like.

Where you'll stay

Choose the space that suits you:

Single rooms for those who want their own quiet corner to retreat into

Twin share if you'd like to come with a friend, or make a new one

Glamping for anyone who wants to sleep a little closer to the trees

2 nights · all meals · breathwork, movement & mindset

Portrait of Lauren Wainer

FACILITATOR

Your Guide

Lauren Wainer

Clinical Hypnotherapist and Breathwork Facilitator

Lauren has facilitated over 300 sessions across corporate wellness, studio partnerships, and private practice in Sydney. Her work sits at the intersection of nervous system science, clinical hypnotherapy, and breathwork with practical tools that create real, lasting change rather than temporary relief.

Her background in Psychological Science at UNSW means the work is always grounded in how the body and brain actually function under stress. Not just what feels good in the moment, but what builds genuine resilience over time.

Before training as a hypnotherapist and breathwork facilitator, Lauren ran multiple businesses. She knows what it is to be the person holding everything together while quietly running on empty. That's not a footnote, it's why this retreat exists, and why the people who come to it tend to feel genuinely understood rather than just guided through a process.

She's worked with corporate teams, athletes, and individuals navigating everything from burnout to big life transitions. The through line is always the same: helping people get out of their own way so they can function at the level they're actually capable of.

This retreat she'll be with you the whole time. Not just in the sessions.

LOGISTICS & DETAILS

Questions & Clarity

Still have questions? Let us put your mind at ease. We've gathered everything you need to know about logistics, preparation, and what to expect over the weekend.

Is this open to men and women?

Yes, this retreat is completely inclusive and open to all genders. We create a safe container for everyone.

What if I don't know anyone?

Coming on your own is often the best way to experience a retreat. Without the comfort of familiar faces, you're more open to meaningful conversations, genuine connections, and meeting like-minded people. From the moment you arrive, you'll be welcomed into a supportive community, and many guests leave with friendships that last long after the retreat ends.

Do I need any prior experience?

None at all. Whether it's your first time trying breathwork or you're a seasoned practitioner, you will be guided every step of the way.

What is the physical demand level?

The movement sessions like Pilates and yoga are adaptable to all levels. You can participate at a pace that feels right for your body.

How large is the group?

To ensure an intimate, personalized experience, the retreat is strictly capped at a maximum of 16 participants.

What should I bring with me?

Comfortable movement clothes, walking shoes for bush hikes, a journal, and an open mind. We provide all equipment, meals, and bedding.

Are payment plans available?

Yes. We offer flexible payment plans to make this investment as accessible as possible. Reach out to us to arrange a schedule.

Who can't do breathwork?

Breathwork is not suitable for people who are pregnant, have a history of epilepsy, cardiovascular conditions, severe anxiety disorders, or have recently had surgery. If you have any medical concerns, please consult your GP before registering and reach out to us directly - we'll let you know if this retreat is right for you.

Is this right for me if I'm not sure I'm ready?

If you're asking the question, you probably are. This retreat is designed for people who know something needs to change but haven't quite made the leap. You don't need to have it all figured out - you just need to show up willing. The work meets you where you are.

Breathwork: Please read before booking

A quick but important note before you book.

Breathwork is powerful. It stirs up energy, emotion, and real physical change, and that's exactly why it isn't for everyone.

If you're pregnant, live with a mental health condition, have a serious health issue (asthma, heart or respiratory conditions, epilepsy, heart disease), carry deep trauma, or take medication that affects your nervous system, you won't be able to take part in the breakthrough breathwork sessions at this retreat. The deep, controlled breathing rhythms simply aren't safe with these conditions, and your wellbeing comes first every time.

This also covers things like past surgeries or any condition you're currently managing. Some situations can work with the right care, others can't, so please don't guess.

Before you book, reach out to Lauren. She'll walk you through it and help you work out whether this one's the right fit for you. And if you've already booked and realise it's not for you, just email the crew: we'll refund you or point you toward another offering down the track.

You deserve to feel supported, safe, and seen. Let's make sure this is right for you first.
