Walk & Wander
The word retreat comes from the Latin ‘retrahere’ meaning “to call back”. The art of uniting the inner and the outer worlds, and the practice of returning home.
Redirecting our cosmic compass towards our true north.
~Tiny one degree turns.
~Always changing direction.
~Always slightly reorienting towards our intuition.
~Following the whisper of our soul.
~You at the centre of every turning.
When we’re called forward so strongly and undeniably towards the truth the soles on our feet come alive.
Almost all Cultures have seen walking on their lands as a break for freedom from the daily burden of an off course life.
Perhaps you have found yourself once again and wondering…
Who am I now?
What is my purpose?
Whatever you need to support your spiritual transformation will come from taking a sacred pilgrimage.
Traversing through the map of consciousness remembering the next powerful steps.
While walking at a pace that is real we wander courageously and discover that we already are what we seek.
Always in the end returning home to ourselves.

This is a retreat that taps into all the senses! It actively supports transition from doing to being, wonderful camaraderie, support and organised enough to flow, but not overly so!! Tina, Hayley and Jungala form an amazing team!! Can highly recommend it!!
Larapinta Retreat
A beautiful experience, left feeling a powerful connection to humanity, my country, my ancestors and myself.
Loved it, Tina’s breathwork is transformative. The Larapinta region is stunning and our two indigenous guides were so informative and had such wonderful energy. This retreat was just what I needed and I’m so glad I came.
What Tina & Hayley have created is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. Wonder & awe at the incredible NT sights, powerful self connection & heart connection with the most incredible group of like minded women & now, new friends.
The Red Dirt was calling me, and it didn’t disappoint.
I received the most beautiful connection to land and nature, deepening even further into my Inner Voice. Unexpectedly, I was GIFTED a friendship group, that was formed from a TRUE HEART AND SOUL Connection. I have found a new way of connecting back into myself, hiking! Bring On Nepal Thank YOU TINA () & Hayley!
Tina and Hayley have created an incredibly rich retreat experience to explore the Larapinta trail.
From transformative breath work and soothing yin yoga from Tina, to the ambitious hikes lead by indigenous guides Jordy and Des, this was a truly memorable experience. Many of us tested our physical limits and gained new insights into our lives that will enhance our experiences well beyond the retreat. And the wonderful community of women that emerged from this experience was the best surprise!
What an incredible four days, from which I have returned feeling rested, calm and inspired. Bluegreen was the most idyllic setting for the retreat, from the moment I arrived I felt a sense of tranquility.
Oh and the food, cooked with love by the serene and talented Cade, using fresh local produce - truly was a highlight. From the yin yoga sessions, to the sound healing and the most relaxing acupressure massage given by beautiful Jane, I couldn't have asked for more from my first retreat. Not to mention the superb organisation by Hayley. Tina's sessions were enlightening and powerful, she is an incredible facilitator and all round amazing human!
