Rewilding Retreat

rewilding retreat

Retreat Within

In the Hopi language, the word koyaanisqatsi means "life out of balance”. Over four decades ago Godfrey Reggio created a non-narrative film based on this idea, depicting different aspects of the relationship between humans, nature and technology.

It could be said that while our culture champions individuation as a principle, it endeavours to make it as difficult as possible for us to do so.

Having moved into an era where the number of hours spent at work steadily climbs, scientists speak about the permanent state of jet-lag experienced by more than half the population.

womens rewilding retreat

The combined effects of reduced daylight from working indoors and greater exposure to artificial light in the evenings has led to a weakening of our body clocks and our ability to harmonise them. Struggling to wake in the morning, we come to rely on caffeine to jump-start us, resort to nicotine to us get through the day, before depending on alcohol or pills to help us sleep.

It becomes hard to question how functional our modern working lives are, let alone muster the energy to change them, when we are just trying to get through the day in a state of semi-exhaustion and disconnection.

Rewilding is a form of ecological restoration with an emphasis on recreating an area's natural uncultivated state.

Applying this principle to our lives, we can reconnect with our authentic self versus our inherited self. Disconnecting from the white noise allows us to reconnect with the natural world, other people and other living systems.

Why Go On Retreat?

retreat wellness

Dissolution

 
Definition: the act or process of dissolving: separation into component parts, decay, disintegration.

Having grown up on a sheep farm, Mike continued his family’s heritage until the invention of synthetic fibre decimated the wool industry in the late 1970s’.

Financial stress followed and soon his marriage collapsed. At age 40 he found himself in the thick of a midlife crisis and suffocating depression.

Belly of the Whale

 
Definition: the stage of a hero's journey during which the hero symbolically dies and then must be reborn.

A backpacker visiting his farm told him about a retreat centre in California that helped him through his own dark night of the soul.

In 1979 Mike took a chance and went abroad in search of a ray of light. While visiting Esalen he found a renewed sense of hope. He also met a chap who built yurts for a living.

Rebirth

 
Definition: A period of new life, growth, or activity; a revival.

The yurt builder offered to visit Mike in Australia and teach him how to make yurts.

It led to him discovering a real passion. In time, he created a yurt farm on his property which gave kids a unique camp experience be it milking a cow, getting electricity from the sun and wind or introducing them to natural building.

In his mid 80s’ he’s still doing what he loves with a supportive partner.

Being open to his mini pilgrimage to a retreat proved the catalyst to reshape his life.

  • Forest Retreat NSW

    I had such a beautiful time and was amazed at the absolute generosity and how welcoming the entire experience was! I felt so heard and seen and was able to gain so many answers (and leave with a lot more questions moving forward). I would definitely recommend any of the retreats to anyone who is either at their lowest or just someone who needs to realign and connect back in! I hope to be able to do more in the future and get more in involved in things like the women’s circle and other beautiful community style events! - Ena H
  • Rewilding Women’s Retreat

    Such an insightful, clarifying and rejuvenating experience. I couldn't recommend it enough. This place spoke my language and helped me see where my blind spots/challenges are but also better then that, is it made me feel excited and enthusiastic about tackling them and what life has for me moving forward. Was just what I needed! Thank you so so soooooo much 🙏😊 - Elizabeth B
