Whether or not you're aware of it, there's a lot that the stress of modern life can do to the body. The perpetual scroll of social media, pressures to achieve, and the pace associated with the hustle mentality all take a toll. Separating yourself from that environment to slow things down and reset your perspective is the aim of the mental wellbeing retreat run by Vital Means.
The next edition of the monthly retreat will take place on Saturday, February 25, on a secluded Airbnb property in the rainforests of Ourimbah, exactly an hour's drive from the Sydney CBD.
Once arriving at the location, you'll pull up at a Laurel Canyon-esque 70s home adorned with a mix of Mid-Century and contemporary interior details and artworks created by award-winning Aussie artists.
From there, you and nine other guests will enjoy an intimate curated program of activities. Morning tea and snacks lead to an interactive game, workshop and a lunch that leaves room for conversation. Following lunch, you'll explore the local rainforest and take in the serenity the mid-north coast forests are known for.
To wind down following your time outdoors, there's a mindfulness session, evening tea, and a relaxing live music performance before saying your goodbyes. You'll leave feeling nourished and refreshed after some much-needed time away.
The mental wellbeing retreat runs on Saturday, February 25 from 10am to 6pm. Early bird tickets are available until Saturday, February 11. Specific venue information will be released to ticket-holders, but for more information and to book tickets visit the website.
