Find Your Flow. Ignite Your Glow.
A four-day women's retreat where you set the heavy load down, let your nervous system breathe, and remember who you are beneath it all.
This retreat is for you if…
You're the one who holds it all together. The schedules. The emotional weight. The mental load that never fully switches off. You show up for everyone, your family, your team, your clients and somehow still find a way to keep going.
But lately, keeping going feels different.
There's a tightness that lives between your shoulders. A shallow breath that never quite fills. A low, persistent hum of exhaustion that sleep doesn't seem to touch. You know something needs to shift, you just haven't had the time, the space, or the permission to let it.
What if four days could change that?
Not a holiday. Not a quick escape. A genuine, deep reset for your nervous system, your body, and the part of you that's been waiting, quietly, for her turn.
The Flow & Glow Retreat is your invitation to come home to yourself.
Return to yourself
From the 26th to the 29th of June 2026, a small circle of women will gather at Milkbar Valley, a breathtaking 120-year-old homestead nestled in the rolling hinterland hills of Northern NSW for four days of deep restoration, nervous system healing, and soulful reconnection.
This is an intentionally intimate retreat. With only 12 places available, you will be truly seen, held, and heard, not lost in a crowd.
Every element has been thoughtfully curated so that from the moment you arrive, you don't have to think, plan, or organise a single thing. A private chef. Expert facilitators. Sacred ceremonies. A beautiful sacred yoga dome, hot tub, sauna, and ice bath. And four days of uninterrupted permission to simply be.
You show up. We look after the rest.
Your time to receive
Here is what's waiting for you inside the Flow & Glow Retreat.
-
Six Spinal Flow sessions with Karon. Using this gentle yet powerful healing modality, these sessions work to release the layers of stress that have accumulated in your nervous system, allowing your life force energy to flow freely again. Many women describe this as the deepest rest they have ever experienced.
-
A conscious connected breathwork journey led by Joey, an industry-leading breathwork coach, trainer and mentor, and founder of Sõmsana Breathwork. Breathwork is one of the most powerful tools available for shifting your nervous system out of survival mode. Expect to move, feel, release, and arrive on the other side lighter than you came in.
-
Led by Maddison, Certified Hypnotherapist + Subconscious Reprogramming Coach and the founder of Bloomin Within. Once the body has softened and released, hypnotherapy creates the conditions for lasting change, and gently rewires the subconscious patterns that help you create an inner environment for growth, clarity, self-trust, and expansion to happen naturally. This is not performance. This is deep, lasting peace.
-
Your outdoor wellness space is available throughout the retreat. Move between the warmth of the sauna and hot tub, the grounding cool of the cold plunge, and the freedom of the pool. Each dip is a deliberate act of care, releasing tension from your cells, one layer at a time.
-
Woven throughout the retreat, our ceremonial circles offer a sacred container to share, witness, and be witnessed.
You’ll experience our Welcome Circle, Cacao Ceremony, Fire Ceremony, Blue Lotus Tea Ceremony, and Closing Circle.
-
A slow, meditative two hour clay workshop guided by Wendy, from Lil Miss Potty Mouth. There is a profound healing in working with your hands and creating something beautiful. You'll create your own handcrafted bowl and mug, tangible reminders of the space you carved out for yourself. Available for collection once glazed and fired.
-
Every meal is prepared by our private chef Simon, from Your Conscious Kitchen. Each meal is nutritious, beautiful, and completely taken care of.

Four Nights, Fully Held For You
-
You arrive, you breathe, you put your bag down. This is the day to land, to let the beauty of Milkbar Valley begin to do its work before anything else. We open with a welcome ceremony, a nourishing shared meal, and your first Spinal Flow session to begin melting the armour of the everyday.
-
We go deeper. A morning breathwork journey with Joey cracks open what the body has been holding. An afternoon of restoration: hydro-sanctuary, rest, ceremony. A Spinal Flow session in the evening to integrate what has moved.
-
A slow morning with Wendy's clay workshop, with your hands in the earth, your mind finally quiet. Maddison's hypnotherapy session in the afternoon to rewire the pathways that breathwork and Spinal Flow have made ready. And as the Strawberry Full Moon rises, we gather for our fire ceremony and silent disco, allowing you to move freely, joyfully, under the nearly full lunar sky.
-
A gentle final morning. A closing Spinal Flow session. A circle to honour what has shifted. A shared meal. And then, the world again, but a quieter version of you, greeting it.
