This 3-day retreat invites you on a journey of self-compassion, where time to pause and breathe creates a ‘clearing’. Perhaps a remembering of what it feels like to be kind and open hearted, or a renewed energy, or a connection with your natural flow state, all whilst surrounded by pristine nature.
Your retreat facilitator Kendra Boone is a trauma sensitive yoga therapist who will be guiding you into natural healing states over your stay, so you’ll leave feeling calm and clear, and ready for the year ahead.
We'll be welcomed onto Yuin country by elder Aunty Glenda, sharing our stories in ceremony with deep respect for our collective wisdom.

Accommodation
Murrah Dream Retreat accommodation
Murrah Dream Retreat is set on 25 acres of pristine bush on the Sapphire coast 3 hours south of Canberra, and 6 hours south of Sydney. Only 15 minutes from the village of Bermagui, Murrah Dream Retreat is a peaceful haven away from the hustle of everyday life. Accommodation is relaxed and comfortable but the land upon which Murrah Dream resides is unquestionably the highlight. In the distance, Gulaga Mountain (the sacred women’s mountain) gazes upon us. The healing energy emanating from the land that holds space for rejuvenation, inspiration, meditation, connection to nature and self.
