This retreat is for beginners, intermediate and advanced surfers alike. Each day I’ll join you in the ocean and help you connect the dots around your experience of technique, equipment choice and share my ocean knowledge. There is a broad offering of surf breaks in the area which caters for all levels…Tomakin River Mouth, Broulee, Moruya, Bingi Bingi and Congo to name a few

First and foremost I am encouraging this retreat to be about having fun in the ocean together!

For non-surfers or anyone attending, there is beauty to explore beyond the ocean amongst surrounding coastal walks of beautiful Guerilla Bay or trace the Song Lines of the Yuin Aboriginal peoples along the Bingi Dreaming Track.

I am stoked to share this experience with you!

Welcoming in a daily practice of meditation helps anyone become more present in what they’re doing, it’s where our true surrender lies, attention gently placed upon the most important thing - simply “being” in the here and now. Mindfully we seek to pay attention and be a lot more present in our basic everyday tasks, whether it’s in nature, doing the washing-up or opening the car door…being more present in our relationships and in our life in general. Meditation creates space, brings us toward clearer decisions to help both ourselves and others at the same time.

“This has been my direct experience; meditation has consistently anchored within my own reality.” Tom

No prior meditation experience is necessary.

Yoga is a way of life for Mary. In her teachings she invites men and women to return to, and remember, their inner nature...to move, breathe, play and marvel at their precious inner wild…She will guide you through supportive, elegant flows and intentional and grounding Yin and Yoga Nidra.

With over 350 hours training and a life long practice her classes are passionately woven together with threads of wisdom from ancient yogic traditions, physiology, Ayurveda, TCM, seasonal wisdom, metaphysics, pranayama and meditation.

The Radiance Sutra’s : No. 15.2 :

Invitations and Illuminations…Listen to waterfalls, streams, rivers and oceans from different distances to appreciate the steady roar and a distant hum. To meditate in these places to become attuned to the rushing and the whisper. To find the sounds that are soothing to our individual hearts.

Human Design is the science and art of understanding oneself. Based on your birth time, date and place, it shows each of us that we have a unique design and specific purpose to fulfil while on Earth. As a logical, empirical and practical system, Human Design offers the opportunity to explore and experiment with the mechanics of your nature and your evolving consciousness, in order to find out for yourself exactly what works for you.

During this in-depth, often described as "life changing" reading, we unravel the mysticism of who you truly are, and how your body is truly designed to exchange its energy with the world.
