Retreats
Connection - Transformation - Healing
Welcome to the landing space for retreats. Here you will find further information about upcoming retreats that support you to reconnect, transform and heal in nature alongside those who are walking a similar path.
When you join for a retreat you are giving yourself the gift of reconnection. Retreat spaces invite you to pause in your daily routines, nourish yourself both internally and externally, immerse yourself in nature, meet like-minded people and cultivate a state of presence.
Although each retreat experience is unique in relation to the location, practices, and group of individuals who gather together, there are some common threads that are woven into most retreats. Retreats often include somatic practices, yoga, movement, breath work, mindfulness, meditation, wholesome food, group circles, ceremonies and time in nature. Both men and women are welcome on most retreats, however some retreats are for women only in which case this will be specified.
Over the years, I have had the opportunity to co-facilitate retreats in some of the world’s most pristine and sacred natural environments including South Greenland, the highlands of Iceland, the islands Mallorca and Ibiza in Spain, and the south-west region of Australia. You can read below for further details about upcoming retreats. If you’re called to share a life-changing retreat experience together then we would love to welcome you to join us on a journey.
If you would like to inquire about upcoming retreats then you’re welcome to email me directly here. Alternatively, you can join my mailing list at the bottom of this page to stay updated about future retreat offerings. I also share about retreats via Instagram @joellamay.
