Join us on a beautiful organic farm 30 minutes from the heart of Byron Bay and get away from the everyday distractions.
In a supportive environment you will develop a deeper understanding of yourself and what your body truly needs to maintain a high level of energy and vitality. Letting go of unwanted habits and mental conditioning to really live your best life.
To heal and engage in life fully we need energy. Our modern diets and lifestyles mean that we are usually spending more energy than we cultivate. This leaves us stuck in patterns, tired, and reaching for sugar and stimulants like caffeine.
Often people then use alcohol to relax. This creates a toxic cycle that builds inflammation and causes your body to age and degenerate, as well as contributing to mental health issues and substance dependency.
This retreat takes away the burden of the everyday routine and lets you receive in restorative and nourishing ways for your body, mind and spirit.
Detoxing is not just about the body, it’s about our mind and spirit. When a safe space is created, we can process the negative energy and emotions that we can accumulate through life. This allows the space for our true Self to emerge.
When we open to this level of consciousness, we feel our deep connection to life and more trust in the way life unfolds for us. As we integrate our past it becomes wisdom.
Instead of being controlled and reacting to our unresolved feelings we can consciously choose our path forward and be more loving and less reactive with the world.
Fasting is the most powerful detox we can experience and juices and broths give your body the nutrients required for deep cleansing and healing.
Detoxing is a science and whilst we provide every opportunity for the body to heal itself, we understand that we can enhance this process and make it feel easier with the right supplements. We also use binders to make sure that what your body is releasing is not reabsorbed. This makes the detox more effective and helps you to feel good through the process.

Yes, that's right. Three days of amazing massage. Kahuna massage relaxes your body, supports lymphatic detoxification and nourishes your soul. Our Kahuna therapists are incredible at what they do. If you have never experienced Kahuna massage you are in for a wonderful experience. It may seem indulgent to get massaged three days in a row but this process literally unwinds the stored stress from your body, which is essential for detoxification and mental revitalisation.
Matthew is a Holistic Chiropractor, Kinesiologist, health and mindset coach. This session will address any physical alignment issues affecting your nervous system and release “stuck” emotions that can unbalance your system and lead to chronic stress patterns. Stress accumulates in the body and acts like a toxin. Releasing stuck emotional patterns facilitates the body’s detoxification and supports the elevation of consciousness.
To empower you with knowledge on how to optimise your body and mind.
To support you to overcome cravings and aversions. Acquiring a mindset that is not controlled by cravings or avoiding negative feelings is essential for self-evolution and living a life of purpose and inner fulfillment.
