Important update for the Solstice Retreat

One-day retreat to honour the Winter Solstice -

Saturday, 20th June 2026

After sending the retreat announcement, I heard from the retreat centre that they were considering an offer on the property to close the sale sooner than expected. Unfortunately, they have now confirmed that the sale has gone through. The current owners will vacate by early June, which means they’re unable to host us for our booking. They expressed how disappointed they were not to be able to welcome us one last time, and the new owner will not be continuing it as a retreat centre. 

​

Since then, I’ve been exploring alternative venues, but it has been difficult to secure somewhere similar for that weekend.

With that in mind, I’ve taken a step back to reflect on what this change might be opening up—and a new idea has emerged....

​

Instead of a full weekend retreat, I’m offering a special one-day retreat to honour the Winter Solstice on Saturday, 20th June.

​

This day-long experience would run from dawn to dusk and include many of the elements you love:

- Sunrise and sunset meditations
- Nourishing breakfast, lunch, and morning & afternoon tea
- A selection of your favourite workshops and practices

The day would begin with arrival at 7:00am for a 7:30am sunrise meditation and conclude around 6:00pm after a sunset meditation, marking the shortest day of the year.

​

I’ve found a beautiful venue at Birkenhead Point, overlooking the harbour, with stunning water views and plenty of free all-day parking.

​

$190 early bird (before May 12th)
$220 thereafter

Inculding breakfast, lunch, snacks and a special take home gift!

​

​

I’m open to seeing how this new approach unfolds—it may become something special in its own right, or perhaps next year will bring a new retreat venue.

Thank you again for your understanding and support. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
