balancing elements
a byron hinterland WOMEN'S RETREAT
A women's retreat designed to balance the five nature elements within you.
You are remembering that you are a living embodiment of nature and that when you tap into the healing power of nature, you reclaim who you are as a soul and remember your infinite connection and inner wisdom.
Everything in nature is made up of five basic elements: earth, water, fire, air, and ether/space, and the same qualities of these elements exists within you as well.
You can heal your mind, body, and spirit by mastering the balance of these subtle energies to create a sense of peace and harmony.
When you become a balanced frequency of all that exists, you become a magnet for all that you desire, empowering you to alchemise darkness into light with a greater sense of ease.
Please join us for this mindfully crafted soul experience with incredible like-minded women where we will create space for you to open up, be vulnerable, rejuvenate, heal, learn and expand.
NOW SOLD OUT!
earth
Everything in nature that is solid. Earth practices help you to feel grounded, calm, and connected to your physical body. Earth energy rules your bones, muscles, and tissues.
water
Everything in nature that is liquid. Water practices help provide you with the ability to adapt, flow, be creative, act selflessly and avoid unhealthy attachments. Water energy rules your blood and other bodily fluids.
fire
Fire is that part of nature that transforms one state of matter into another. Fire practices bring confidence, courage, and strength. Fire energy rules your metabolism, drive, and inner passions.
air
Everything in nature that is a gas. Air practices help to create a channel for clear communication and self-expression. Air energy influences your ability to act from a place of compassion and love.
ether/space
Ether/Space is the mother of the other elements and is the basis of higher spiritual experiences. A container for all the other elements, Ether/Space practices connect you to the source of intuition and wisdom from the universe. Ether/Space energy is associated with magnanimity and expansion.
All our practices, workshops and experiences will be centred around connecting with and embodying the subtle energies within these elements.

location
Where the sun’s first rays touch Australia is Byron Bay, famous for its iconic beaches and alternative lifestyle, and a hinterland made lush by volcanic soil twenty million years old. Here deep rainforests, stunning waterfalls, hamlets and farmlands share the hills and valleys and sparkling views of the Pacific.
Nestled in the hills twelve minutes outside Byron, the BlueGreen Sanctuary invokes this overflowing beauty into five acres of paradise. A sanctuary that imparts serenity with its sublime landscaping, rolling lawns, gazebo over the lake, terraces and nooks, swings in the rainforest and wild ducks on the lake.
The name itself drew inspiration from its surroundings: ‘blue’ from the huge sky, the distant mountains; and ‘green’ from the rainforest trees, the gentle sloping lawns, the macadamia and coffee plantations that cushion the boundaries.
