The Experience

With healthcare provider wellbeing now a matter of urgency, we offer a science-based and mindfully curated retreat that specifically addresses key issues such as burnout and empathy fatigue to help enhance your personal and professional wellbeing.

Take a break from your 9-5 in a luxury Tuscan-style estate surrounded by peaceful gardens and fresh air. Enjoy a much-needed sleep in or opt for a morning yoga flow or nature walk. Stretch your mind with guided Mind Training sessions and informative seminars. Explore the quaint township of Bowral where you can browse boutiques, hunt for antiques and enjoy a luncheon al fresco at the picturesque Green Lane. Nourish your body from the inside out with nutritious, farm-to-table meals prepared by our in-house chef. Indulge in some self care with an optional organic massage. Connect with likeminded practitioners who too are looking for a more mindful approach to healthcare.
