This one-day retreat is the perfect way to experience a reset. Stop. Relax. And Reset through a combination of meditation, breath-work, yoga and cold-water immersion. All whilst located in the beautiful Portsea Ocean environment on the Mornington Peninsula.

Ocean Immersion Wellness Retreat

Our one-day ocean immersion retreats foster deep relaxation, restoration and recovery from the stresses of everyday life. You will explore techniques for mastery of your own breath, mindfulness in movement, and cold-water immersion – all whilst located in the beautiful natural environment of the southern Mornington Peninsula. Our retreats run from the Portsea SLSC – located in the scenic dunes of Portsea backbeach.

Take Your First Step Towards Natural Being

We are all in need of a reset after the past two years of work-life disruption, loss of normal routines and disconnection from self and community. Our Ocean Immersion Wellness Retreats are the perfect way to count the effects of this. We aim to help you reconnect to yourself through soul-nourishing activities, surrounded by like-minded folk in spaces of natural beauty. After attending our retreat, you will feel reset, grounded and embodied – and you will leave with the gifts of accessible and effective tools you can use for self-care anytime.

You don’t need to change your whole life to improve your wellbeing. You can nurture wellbeing with small gestures in everyday life.

Renew - Rejuvenate - Revitalise

Our retreat is hosted at the Portsea Surf Life Saving Club. It is a location that is one-of-a-kind – the clubhouse is situated facing the often ferocious and energetic waters of Bass Strait. You will breathe the ocean air, meditate to the sound of the waves crashing below, and immerse in the healing salt water. It is the perfect location to explore the relationship between yourself and Nature.
