YOGA AND NATURE IMMERSION RETREAT
7 - 10 October 2022
Kings Beach, Fleurieu Peninsula, South Australia
OVERVIEW
Join Leah from The Centre of Ki and Lisa from Big Heart Adventures and nurture your mind, body and spirit for three nights at the exclusive Kings Beach Retreat.
This retreat will give you the opportunity to experience a new level of health and wellbeing. The retreat program includes beach walks, daily yoga and meditation sessions, ocean dips (for the brave), journaling activities, a 3-hour guided nature immersion and a healing sound bath. All meals will be lovingly prepared on site from seasonal, organic, whole food ingredients.
​
Staying at Headland House, you will be treated to spectacular beach and ocean views. The house itself is made from local rammed earth and recycled jetty beams. Snuggle in by the cosy wood fire in the evening and enjoy a bedroom with your own private ensuite.
NATURE
At Kings Beach Retreat, there is an amazing diversity of nature at your doorstep. The retreat itself overlooks the beach and is adjacent to Newland Head Conservation Park – a rare ecosystem of high conservation significance.
​
An abundance of native vegetation and wild flowers can be seen and you may also spot native bird species including the Superb Fairy-wren, Golden Whistler, Brown Thornbill, Peregrine Falcon, Sea Eagle and Wedge-tailed Eagle. Other animals you may see include kangaroos, echidnas, and lizards.
Kings Beach Retreat is also an excellent spot for whale watching. Southern Right Whales and Humpback Whales may be seen during the migration season from May to October. Bring your binoculars!
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
There are five bedrooms, each with a king bed which can be split into two singles (twin share). Book a room for you and a friend or splash out and book a room for yourself. Each room has it's own ensuite.
If you are coming alone and want to share a room, we can pair you up with someone too. Rooms will be allocated on a first-come basis and a limited number of single rooms will be available.
