Illuminate Wellness Retreat

Reconnect. Restore. Remember.

NOVEMBER 14 - 17 2025

The Illuminate Wellness Retreat is a sacred space to remember the innate intelligence of your body, mind, and spirit. Born from a deep reverence for the body’s natural healing power, this retreat offers you the time, tools, and environment to truly nourish yourself on all levels.

Every cell in your body holds the blueprint for health. When we create the right conditions — mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually — that healing unfolds naturally. This retreat is about creating those conditions.

A Retreat for Self-Discovery & Deep Healing

What to Expect

Over four transformative days, you’ll be guided through practices and experiences that reconnect you with your most vital self. With nearly four hours of dedicated daily movement and stillness practices — including meditation, breathwork, and yoga asana — you'll feel the shift from doing to being.

You’ll also explore somatic movement, nature-based rituals, and workshops designed to bring insight, clarity, and restoration. All meals and daily tasks are lovingly taken care of so you can focus solely on your healing and integration.

The Philosophy

Health is more than the absence of illness — it’s a feeling of wholeness, balance, and resilience. This retreat is an invitation to remember what it feels like to be truly well, to reclaim the sense of inner harmony that already lives within you, and to take home tangible tools that support lifelong vitality.

What’s Included

This a fully all-inclusive experience where every detail is thoughtfully taken care of so you can completely unwind, restore, and reconnect.

  • 3 nights / 4 days luxury accommodation at the stunning Kings Beach Retreat

  • All meals, snacks, and drinks — a nourishing plant-based menu crafted from locally sourced, seasonal produce, prepared from scratch wherever possible

  • Fresh cold-pressed juices and daily wellness tonics to support vitality

  • Take-home recipes from our breakfast and juice menus to continue the nourishment at home

  • Daily morning practices of yoga, meditation, and breathwork to awaken and align

  • Evening sessions of Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra, and guided rest to support deep restoration

  • Guided nature walks and beach swims to immerse in the natural beauty surrounding you

  • Insightful workshops and guest speakers sharing wisdom on health, wellbeing, and self-discovery

  • Ample downtime to relax on the property or wander to the nearby beach

  • Connection with a like-minded community — opportunities to share, grow, and heal together

  • Beautiful welcome gift bag for each guest on arrival

This retreat blends education, embodiment, and ease — offering a deeply nourishing journey designed to leave you feeling grounded, inspired, and whole.

A Day on Retreat

There’s a certain magic in the unknown. and we hold space for the unexpected.

There are no clocks, no phones (unless you choose), and no rigid schedules
just presence, rhythm, and flow.

Here’s a quiet look at what a day might look like…

Morning
Rise naturally with the sun and settle into stillness.
Begin the day with a tonic to awaken the body, followed by guided meditation, breathwork, and movement to create space from within.
A nourishing breakfast is shared in silence or soft conversation, grounding you in presence for the day ahead.

Midday
Late morning invites you into nature — perhaps a mindful walk along the coastline or a wellness workshop rooted in self-inquiry.
There is space to swim, lie in the sun, or simply be.
A light, seasonal lunch follows, lovingly prepared and served with intention.

Afternoon
The early afternoon opens into deeper practice: a gentle somatic workshop, movement ritual, or restorative circle.
Afterwards, you’re free to rest — journal, nap, read, or do nothing at all. Integration is part of the healing.

Evening
As the sun begins to set, you’ll be guided into a slow and soothing evening practice — Yin yoga, Yoga Nidra, or ceremony — allowing the body to soften and the nervous system to settle.
Your day closes with a warm, nourishing dinner shared in community.

Your Retreat Space

Our sanctuary for this retreat is the breathtaking Kings Beach Retreat on the Fleurieu Peninsula, just over an hour from Adelaide. This exclusive property offers panoramic views of Waitpinga Cliffs, West Island, and The Bluff — a backdrop of nature’s grandeur to support your deep inner work.

From the moment you arrive, you'll be enveloped by beauty, peace, and the soothing rhythms of nature.

Please note that all accommodation is shared. If you’re coming with a friend, simply let us know and we’ll organise you to share a room together. For solo guests, we thoughtfully pair you with someone we feel you will connect with, creating an opportunity to build meaningful new friendships.

We also want to reassure you — your room is a peaceful space to rest, but most of your time will be spent in the beautiful shared areas, moving through the retreat experience together. This is a chance to meet like-minded people and feel supported throughout your journey.

That said, we understand that shared accommodation isn’t for everyone. There is an option to book private accommodation for an additional cost — please reach out to us directly. We have one private space per retreat, which features a king bed and can be shared by a couple or friends..

  • The development and growth I personally went through on the 4 days was astounding and more than I could have asked for. I felt a fire inside of me and it continues to burn today. I have achieved so much since the retreat finished. I loved waking up early, I loved drinking the green drinks, and morning yoga session - even in the cold it was refreshing and life-changing. Ellie is one of the most non-judgmental and supportive people I have met. I couldn't have done it with anyone better.

  • I absolutely loved the Illuminate Wellness Retreat with Ellie and butler Luke. It was a great reset to my life and has made me more closely consider the choices that I make from day to day regarding my health and wellness. I feel completely refreshed and have a greater understanding and curiosity towards myself, and also empathy to those around me. Everyone on the retreat became so close and comfortable with each other. I will never forget this experience and stories that we shared. Thank you. I feel happier and healthier!!!
