Rest and Restore Retreat

About this retreat

Rest and Restore Retreat sits on the banks of the Yarra River in Warburton, Victoria, surrounded by Manna gums and towering Mountain Ash forest. It is one of the few Australian retreats built specifically around nervous system recovery — designed for people navigating burnout, chronic stress, grief, illness, or significant life change, rather than those simply looking for a relaxing weekend. Daily programs draw on yoga, qigong, breathwork, mindfulness, sound practices, and plant-based nutrition, supported by a team of up to fifteen practitioners including mental health professionals. The structure is intentionally flexible; guests can join group sessions, book one-on-one support, or simply rest without pressure to participate. There is no expectation to perform or keep up. The pace here is genuinely slow. Best suited to individuals who need more than a holiday — people ready to make space for recovery and looking for qualified, compassionate support in a quiet natural setting along the river.
