Consider the benefits of a designated space created to facilitate your detachment from the vigorous rhythm of daily life - the concept at the heart of mindfulness retreats. 🪶

Set aside time to contemplate your life, objectives, and values. By consciously slowing down, you can focus exclusively on the present moment and forge a deeper emotional connection. It's within these serene moments that you can genuinely perceive the subtle internal compass guiding your life's purpose and direction. 🛤

Transition away from the everyday hustle to accommodate mindfulness practices and holistic therapies, which are crucial components in augmenting your overall wellbeing. 💆‍♀️

These retreats function as sanctuaries, encouraging a slower pace, enabling you to regain composure, and prioritizing what is essential. ☯️

They offer a variety of activities, such as meditation, yoga, forest bathing, allowing participants to engage in their preferred pursuits at their leisure. 🌿

Options to incorporate spa treatments or a detox program into your retreat are often available to further personalize your experience. The objective is to curate an ideal escape catered to individual preferences. We invite you to explore the serene environment of mindfulness retreats. 🙏

​A Journey of Healing and Connection

In today's fast-paced and modern world, many of us find ourselves yearning for a deeper connection with ourselves, others, and the natural world around us. We seek a sense of purpose, healing, and spiritual growth that seems to elude us in the hustle and bustle of our daily lives. This is where shamanic ceremonies come into play.

Shamanic ceremonies are ancient rituals that have been practiced by indigenous cultures for thousands of years. They are deeply rooted in the belief that everything in the universe is interconnected and that we can access higher realms of consciousness to heal ourselves and the world around us. Shamanic ceremonies provide a sacred space for individuals to embark on a spiritual journey, guided by a shaman or spiritual leader, to connect with their inner selves, the spirit world, and the collective consciousness.

One of the key elements of a shamanic ceremony is the use of various tools and practices to alter consciousness and enter a state of trance. These may include chanting, drumming, dancing, singing, breathwork, and the use of sacred plants, such as cacao, blue lotus. These practices help individuals shift their focus from the physical realm to the spiritual realm, allowing them to access hidden knowledge, wisdom, and healing energies.

In my sacred retreats, we work with a number of sacred rituals, ceremonies and processes including the 9 Rites of the Munay Ki, of Peru. It is through sacred ceremony that we are able to tap into not only our highest self, but our ancestral lineage and heal the past, present and future. Ceremony is a powerful part of my retreats and my life, as it is through ceremony that we can integrate the learnings and awareness we receive.

The journey undertaken during a shamanic ceremony is deeply personal and unique to each individual. It may involve encounters with spirit guides, animal allies, ancestors, or other beings from the spirit world. These encounters can provide profound insights, guidance, and healing. The shaman or spiritual leader acts as a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms, facilitating the communication and exchange of energy between the two.

One of the primary purposes of a shamanic ceremony is healing. Through the ceremony, individuals can address these imbalances and restore harmony within themselves and their lives. This may involve releasing past traumas, negative energy, or limiting beliefs, and replacing them with love, light, and positive intentions.

Shamanic ceremonies are also a powerful way to connect with nature and the natural world. Indigenous cultures understand that we are an integral part of the web of life, and our well-being is deeply interconnected with the well-being of all beings and the Earth itself. By immersing ourselves in the ceremony and connecting with the spirit of nature, we can develop a profound sense of reverence, gratitude, and stewardship for the Earth.

It is important to approach shamanic ceremonies with respect, openness, and a willingness to surrender to the process. These ceremonies can be intense and transformative, and it is essential to have a safe and supportive environment and a skilled shaman or spiritual leader guiding the journey.

Shamanic ceremonies offer a powerful opportunity for individuals to embark on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and connection. They provide a sacred space to explore the depths of our consciousness, tap into our inner wisdom, and access the healing energies of the spirit world. By embracing these ancient practices, we can cultivate a deeper understanding of ourselves, our place in the world, and our interconnectedness with all of creation.

A beautiful and gentle shamanic Fire ceremony is;

Light a candle or firepit, gaze into the flame, become present with your breath, slowing down the inhalation and exhalation.

Become aware of the air as it caresses your body, the feel of the earth beneath you, the sounds of nature around you and the heat of the flame.

Gaze into the flame and begin a quiet and gentle hum sound in your throat, keep humming.

The shaman uses the Hum to activate a trance like state, to change one’s energy and to change and shift the dense energy around them, to support their ascension.

Go on, try it, you can’t get it wrong.

Australia Wide Retreats was born on 24th January 2024. Like everything, it starts as an idea and becomes manifest by action! And here we are :) 

This site and its services are provided for people seeking retreats because let's face it, retreats can change lives. From pampering retreats to mental health retreats, spiritual retreats, yoga retreats, horse riding retreats, wellness retreats, breaking addiction retreats, cooking retreats, detox retreats, the list goes on . . .  and retreats change peoples lives! 

This site and its services are also provided for retreat providers. As a retreat facilitator myself, I sometimes wish I had people to cater my retreats, take photos during my events, other facilitators to fill an hour or so during certain days of my retreat to give my audience even more value and sometimes I have retreat seekers asking if I provide transportation to and from the retreat. Retreat venues is another huge ask from people that run retreats. 

As a retreat provider with Australia Wide Retreats, if you need any help with your retreats, you will also have access to caterers, retreat venues, coffee vans, childcarers during retreats, retreat transport, guest speakers, workshops to fill gaps in your your retreat or just to spice things up a little for your participants, special equipment hire, tour guides of local areas and so much more. 

When the new software gets implemented into our Australia Wide Retreats website,  I will also be reaching our offline audiences with newspaper ads all across Australia and our online audiences with Facebook ads, Facebook posts, Youtube videos, blogs, SEO and Instagram posts and reels all leading back to Australia Wide Retreats where people can find RETREATS!

An email list will also be built up this year and Australia Wide Retreats will send an email out once a week directing retreat seekers back to our retreat providers listings on Australia Wide Retreats!  There's BIG things in the making :)

Why am I doing this?
 
Because as a retreat facilitator, I know what it's like to advertise and promote an event. People need the retreats that we have to offer and getting the word out there, it's a LOT of work. Australia Wide Retreats is here to help!

Thank you providers for submitting your retreats. And seekers, thank you for looking.
