What Awaits You

Sacred space — a tranquil natural environment for deep reflection, healing, and connection.

Nourishing food — a vegetarian menu designed to support your body and spirit, allowing you to feel grounded and restored.

Minimal activities, maximum connection — shared ritual, sound healing, energy work, ceremony, yoga, and circle work, or simply rest and connect with like souls.

Co-creation — each participant is invited to share their modality, practice, or offering, creating a tapestry of wisdom and healing that enriches us all.


Together we can make magic. In the melding of our energies we ignite transformation — not just for ourselves, but for the collective. This is not just a retreat; it is a harmonic convergence, a living embodiment of the spiral of healing and awakening.  


The essence of our gathering is a sacred communion where the divine presence flows through our shared intention, creating a space of deep connection, grace, and healing.  

Sample schedule

Thursday — guests arrive at the retreat venue from 2pm. Evening fire circle.


Friday — morning cacao ceremony and intention setting followed by an art workshop, and in the afternoon a ceremony to honour the sacred goddess within.


Saturday — movement session during the day, with a guided meditation and sound journey in the geodesic dome in the evening.


Sunday — closing ceremony, guests depart by 2pm.


There is plenty of space in the schedule for communing with nature, private reflection and integration.

Add-ons

You have the option to add on one-on-one energy or sound healing sessions with Cher or Bec. These will be held in one of the private glamping tents, with limited sessions available. Cher is available for 30 minute or 60 minute sessions; Bec is available for 60 minute sessions.


To secure your session, we recommend pre-booking. You can nominate and pay for a 1:1 session when you pay your deposit for the retreat; alternatively - subject to availability - you can request without payment at the time of registration and we will include it on your invoice, or book in at the retreat.


Please note that session times are subject to change pending confirmation of the retreat program.

Your Investment

Pricing is per person and includes accommodation for three nights, all meals, all programmed sessions and ceremonies, and a 45–60 minute 1:1 multi-dimensional energy work session with me in the weeks following the retreat.


Room typeEarly birdFull priceDeposit
Twin share (ocean view / ensuite)$1,645
$1,945
$600
Triple share$1,395
$1,645
$600


Early bird pricing is available until Sunday 30 August 2026, or until the first 8 spaces are filled, whichever comes first.


Deposits are non-refundable except in the event of cancellation by us (terms and conditions). Please note that when booking a twin-share room you will need to book both places.


I know it can be a bit disconcerting to share a room with strangers, so if you would like to come with friends or colleagues and secure one of the triple rooms for your group, you may book all the places in your room of choice for a group discount of $150. This discount is on top of the early-bird discount.

Beyond the retreat: 1:1 integration session

Each residential attendee is offered a 45–60 minute multi-dimensional energy work session with Liz, included in your retreat investment, to be taken within eight weeks of our gathering.


This is a gentle continuation of what we create together. The days and weeks after a retreat are often where the deeper integration happens — when you return to family, to clients, to ordinary life, carrying everything the retreat opened in you. A 1:1 session is a chance to be held again, to work with anything that has surfaced, and to integrate what you received.


Sessions are customised to each participant and offered in person in Canberra, by phone or by Zoom — whichever supports you best. Sessions are available from one week after the retreat closes through to mid-December 2026.


You are welcome to book your session as soon as your deposit is confirmed — many practitioners appreciate having it locked into their calendar before life takes over. I will send booking details with your retreat confirmation.  

Day passes for local practitioners

A small number of day passes are available for practitioners on the Sapphire Coast and surrounds who would like to share in the gathering without staying overnight. You are warmly invited to join us in the daytime container — to meet in circle, to share a meal and story, to rest and replenish, and to connect with others.  


There is no expectation to present, to facilitate, or to lead — simply to receive, to share, and to be in the field with us.  


Each day pass includes:  

  • Full daytime program from 10am to 5pm — shared ritual, sound healing, circle work, and unstructured time to rest and connect
  • A nourishing vegetarian lunch
  • Tea, coffee, snacks and the opportunity to make new connections
  • Sunday morning’s integration and closing circle (10am – 12pm), gifted with any day pass


Day passes do not include overnight accommodation, breakfast, or dinner. Evening practices (such as yin yoga, sound journeys, twilight meditation) are reserved for residential participants.

Booking and payment

A $600 deposit secures your place and locks in early bird pricing. The balance is due four weeks before the retreat — Thursday 24 September 2026.  


You are welcome to pay the balance by bank transfer or by card via Square. Bank transfer avoids the small card processing fee — both options are fine, whichever suits you. If you wish to pay by bank transfer, please let me know and I will issue you an invoice with the payment details.  


You can elect to pay in instalments for no extra charge.
