Earth Circle Daylong Retreat
Reclaim your ground. Awaken your voice. Step into the circle.
An ecotherapy Melbourne gathering for rest, regeneration and The work that reconnects.
Are you feeling the call to slow down? To reconnect with your inner wild and awaken to your true nature. In our fast-paced modern world, finding the space to reconnect with the earth—and yourself—can be a radical act. In joy, compassion, nourishment and rest we creatively explore themes relevant to the struggles we all face in this modern, fast changing world.
Earth Circle is a day-long restorative retreat for the mind, body, and soul offered across four seasonal themes. Join us in our upcoming Summer circle to reclaim your sense of wholeness and connection to the web of life. Find your ground, express your authentic self and discover more passion and freedom in your life.
Bringing together the wisdom of spiritual ecology rooted in mindfulness and presence, creativity and belonging, Eco-Dharma and eco-therapy we will guide you through love and loss, struggle and transformation and support you to heal, create and experience an embodied community and nature connection.
The elements of your experience
A carefully woven journey of connection and creative expression.
1. Somatic Renewal & Authentic Self
Through gentle enquiry, breathwork, and body-led awareness, we undo the tension habituated by daily stress. We create space to release the pressure of pleasing others, unravel outdated inner narratives, and restore a steady, self-compassionate baseline.
2. Plant Wisdom & Earth Communion
We lean on the quiet intelligence of the living landscape. Woven through our day are nourishing botanical infusions, gentle plant medicine rituals, and herbal teas crafted to ground the body, clear the mind, and remind us of our deep, reciprocal bond with the natural world.
3. Spiritual Ecology & Conscious Leadership
Rooted in presence, ethics, intersectionality and deep interconnectedness, we bring together The Work That Reconnects and Eco-Dharma to explore the meta-crisis within a safe, inclusive and compassionate circle. Moving through the truth mandala we honour our grief and love, transform overwhelm and fatigue into clear vision and active hope. Learning to lead your life, family, and community from clarity, compassion, and sustained presence without burning out.
5. Creative Liberation & Sisterhood
Creativity isn't about skill—it's a portal to intuition and authentic expression. Through intuitive art-making, symbolic storytelling, poetry, movement and shared ritual, we translate what words cannot capture. Supported by a compassionate circle, you are seen, heard, and celebrated in your whole, vibrant truth.
