BUSH RETREAT
Are you over the anxiety, the stress and the overwhelm?
Are you feeling a little empty? Needing more purpose and meaning?
Do you just need some time-out and you feel like yelling, STOP THE BUS!
Are you over the anxiety, the stress and the overwhelm?
Are you feeling a little empty? Needing more purpose and meaning?
Do you just want to learn how to calm the farm?
I’m hearing you!
…and I have designed and created this retreat just for you.
Join us for a weekend of relaxation, rejuvenation, fun and connection.
Enjoy the stunning surrounds of this mountain-top retreat with a small group of like-minded women and experience the true meaning of ‘Sanctuary’ – safe, private and peaceful.
Not only will you come away with a whole new perspective, but you’ll also have a new set of skills and resources that you can draw on when the going gets tough back in the real world.
Workshops and activities will explore the latest science-based techniques from the fields of neuroscience, positive psychology and mind body wellness.
The purpose of my retreats is to create connection.
Connection to yourself – your body, your breath, your mind and your heart.
Connection to others. I often say that it’s only when we come together as a group of women that we discover that we have far more in common than we are different.
Connection to the environment. Garapine is surrounded by natural bush with breathtaking views, fresh air, mountain mist and the most incredible sunrises and sunsets.
These include relaxation techniques, gentle movement, meditation, mindfulness, creative visualisation and journaling as well as some general wellness tips.
Learn about the science behind these techniques but also learn how to apply them in your own unique circumstances.
Price includes 2 night stay, all meals catered on site, all activities and workshops.

The Venue
Perched on this mountaintop with 360° views is the beautiful Garapine. We will have the whole property to ourselves throughout the retreat, with the exception of the beautiful Emma who sneaks up to cook the most amazing food for us.
Accomodation is in dormitories of around 4 people (they are designed for up to 12 people and each one has it’s own ensuite).
Surrounded by natural bush, you will have no shortage of places to explore and be inspired.
Your Host
Hi, I’m Kimberley. I’m really passionate about sharing what I’ve learned in the fields of positive psychology and mind body medicine.
You see, it wasn’t until I was actually teaching it at university level, that I realised how much science was out there. I couldn’t help but think, “Why didn’t I know this before?”
I sure know I could have used it in the past! Hence my mission to pass it on.
The Program
With a whopping 5 workshops throughout the retreat, you’ll be given a whole range of information and techniques to take home with you. These all take place in a very relaxed, informal and fun atmosphere.
In between workshops, you’ll have plenty of free time to relax, create, explore the property or get to know your fellow retreaters.
The program officially begins at 5.30pm Friday and concludes at 2pm Sunday.

Take the advice of a previous guest -“Isn’t that ironic? I might have missed the chance to attend a wellness weekend, specifically focusing on anxiety, because of my anxiety!”
Here’s what previous retreat guests had to say…..
Kimberley’s a beautiful little powerhouse. She’s warm and wonderful and has created this divine and safe space for women to embrace themselves – flaws and all.
I just wrote in my journal… the journey has just begun. Thank you my friend. You’re amazing! Your life experience and knowledge blows me away. I think my favourite part was when we sat under the tree and did the mindfulness workshop… I felt so peaceful. Thank you so much for our beautiful weekend. It was life-changing. I feel nurtured and uplifted. Kim I would like to thank you once again for giving me the opportunity to spend the weekend with some amazing women. It was just what I needed it was a completely soul lifting experience and I came away feeling refreshed and renewed Just magic. Thank you for having us this weekend Kimberley. You’re a legend and your retreat was fantastic. Very informative. I loved the workshops. I did some meditation with my daughter last night (she was having a rough time) and she loved it, definitely worked! And yoga and meditation this morning with the kids. They all loved it. Thankyou! I learnt a lot about my dreams, hopes and aspirations. She is a wealth of knowledge and so real. It has been wonderful to disconnect from real life and take some time out to learn about me. Everyone was so welcoming. The location was amazing. Everything was just great. Absolutely wonderful! A weekend ran by the gorgeous Kimberley, in a divine location with amazing women – oh, and the food! What more could you ask for?! I loved all the workshops – couldn’t just pick one part- they were all so good – loved the fact there were crafty stuff and mindfulness and self care. I especially loved the sense of connection between all the amazing women there, and the fact that whatever we were doing we could all have a good laugh… All of it! The sunrise meditations are a divine way to welcome in a new day. The beautiful women we met and were honoured to spend our weekend with; Kim has a knack for louring in the most gorgeous souls. The food was absolutely delicious. And the women’s circle sendoff was heartwarming. The retreat was tension-inhibiting, depression blitzing, good vibe inducing, rocking good time! I have attended all of Kimberley’s past retreats and I always come home happier, blissed out and more even keeled. I’d recommend Kim’s retreats to my loved ones because I want them to feel nurtured too. They make you realise how easy it is to implement simple changes in your life that can really improve your well-being, without all the fancy bullshit. I think you need to live it for a few days in order to realise how much better you can feel. Everyone deserves the opportunity to be the best version of ourselves and this retreat helps you to get therePLEASE NOTE –
