As the world seems be inviting us on an unfamiliar dance

Certainties shifting, our bodies changing


We'll be exploring....

How do we step into this dance?

What ways of Being support our hearts and bodies, now?

How dance this alone, and together?

And what essence of our self is needed now, is ready to come forth?


Join us in a Gathering that is

Part retreat, with time for silence and meditation, creativity and reflection

Part opportunity to live, breathe and learn from a forest

to walk and dance on a breathtaking beach

Part girls’ camp, with tents, fires, music, dancing, laughs….

Facilitated and Co-Created

A regenerative re-set

For women of all ages and backgrounds

The campsite and cabins stretch along a section of the Incarha strem and riverine forest - filled with astounding trees, fed by clean water


Some cabins and rooms have their own ablutions; campers and residents in some of the cabins and rooms make use of the campsite ablution faciliites

Our quircky, arty ablution building is built of river stones, cob and thatch, and has flush toilets a bath and gas-heated showers which are regularly cleaned


This is a 'Retreat Canp' and the focus is on living close to nature

  • Bring your own tent and camping gear
  • OR book a safari dome tent to share, or have to yourself, these come with camping beds, bedding, and electrical plug for charging devices, and access to kitchen facilities
  • Or book accommodation in one of our rooms or cabins, all are simple, and come with basic self-catering facilities


Lovers of birds, trees, and all the richness of a forest ecosystem will find endless delight in the immediate envioronment

Morgan Bay Beach and cliffs are rightfully known for their beauty, a dramatic landscape, tranquil lagoon and mile-long easily walkable beach
