When was the last time you felt truly alive?

Start 2026 away from the noise and responsibilities of your everyday life, where you’ll finally rest, re-discover forgotten parts of yourself and make memories to last a lifetime. This is not your average retreat - this is an experience you will cherish forever and an opportunity to finally gift yourself the space to breathe, create and play in paradise.

An invitation…

About

The Elementa Women’s Retreat is an invitation to step out of the noise and into dedicated time for yourself, supported by thoughtful experiences including yoga, qi gong, creative arts, movement, and nature immersions.

This retreat offers space for restoration and creative renewal, balanced with ease, connection, and unstructured rest. It’s a place to reconnect with your body, your creativity, and your natural rhythm, alongside a beautiful group of women who value depth, presence, and genuine experience.

What happens when you return to yourself

Why this retreat

❍ Create space away from everyday demands to reconnect with creativity, joy, and a sense of aliveness.

❍ Experience movement, art, and holistic practices as ways to listen to the body and process what’s been held.

❍ Rest properly, with time to slow down and support your nervous system.

❍ Step back, reflect, and let go of what no longer needs your energy.

❍ Spend time with an aligned group of women who value honesty, depth, and genuine connection.

❍ Return home feeling clearer, steadier, and more connected to what matters to you

This retreat is for you if you

❍ Feel ready to give yourself uninterrupted time to explore creativity and self-expression, without pressure or performance.

❍ Value stepping away from responsibility for a few days to slow down, think clearly, and breathe properly again.

❍ Are interested in reconnecting with enjoyment, curiosity, and aliveness in a grounded way.

❍ Enjoy movement, art, reflection, and ritual as ways of staying connected to yourself, not as something to “fix” you.

❍ Appreciate being in the company of thoughtful, emotionally aware women.

❍ Sense that something in your life is ready to shift, and want space to meet that moment with clarity.

    I attended the Elementa 3-day women’s retreat earlier this year and was blown away. Anastasia curated and facilitated such a special experience for us all, combining all of her unique tools and talents. All of the activities were so mindfully thought out to our individual group, and Anastasia went above and beyond to make sure that we felt comfortable and nurtured throughout the whole retreat. I cannot believe I am only discovering women’s retreats now and cannot wait to attend the next one! Thanks again for such a wonderful experience, Anastasia <3

  • I truly have not enough words for the experience of Elementa Retreat. I went in not knowing what to expect as I’d never done a retreat before. I left with such gratitude and connectedness that I didn’t even realise was possible. Connectedness to myself, nature, sisterhood and endless possibilities of improvement on the inner work. At the end of the retreat I felt so at peace with myself. It’s 3 days post retreat and I’m still floating! Anastasia facilitated such a beautiful experience from start to finish. If you’re ready to begin the work and connect with like minded woman, I highly recommend to not walk but run to this retreat. Thank you thank you thank you!

  • What a beautiful weekend! Anastasia is a beautiful soul with gorgeous energy and so much care. She curated such a beautiful safe space for us to all share, laugh and connect. I had so much fun and will cherish this weekend forever. Definitely exceeded my expectations, so grateful
    Thank you 🤍✨

  • I've been soo lucky to experience many of Anastasia's classes and also recently her women's retreat and cannot express enough how incredible Anastasia is!! She has such a warm, kind, and inspiring soul (and is an incredible dancer!) and has shared so much of her wisdom with us in a short space of time. Every experience has been unique, yet she always manages to create such a beautiful and inclusive space in which magic truly happens! I know I will keep attending her circles and retreats at any opportunity I get... Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything!!

Your  Host

Anastasia is a retreat director, movement and creative therapy facilitator, PhD researcher, certified yoga teacher (500RYT), and Qi Gong instructor. Her background in theatre, the arts, education, and linguistics informs everything she creates, from embodied practices to women’s retreats that offer real nervous system relief and emotional clarity.

Raised in Germany, educated in the UK (BA Writing, Directing & Performance at The University of York, England, MA Arts Management & Translation at Queen’s University Belfast, Northern Ireland) and having lived and travelled across the globe (lived in Vietnam, Ukraine, Thailand, Australia & travelled to over 37 countries) she brings a global lens to her work. Her focus is simple: helping women reconnect with their bodies, creativity, and each other through honest spaces that don’t require performance or perfection.

Her ultimate joy lies in sharing her knowledge and nurturing communities of healthy women who care for each other, enriching the life of those she touches with wisdom, compassion, humour and authenticity.

Getting there

Our retreat is held close to Byron Bay, a peaceful coastal town in northern New South Wales known for its natural beauty, ocean air, and slow, grounding rhythm.

The closest airport is Ballina Byron Gateway Airport (BNK), just 15 minutes away from the retreat venue. Most major Australian cities, including Sydney and Melbourne, have direct daily flights into Ballina, making it the easiest and most seamless option.

Alternatively, Gold Coast Airport (OOL) is about 1 hour 15 minutes away, and Brisbane Airport (BNE) is roughly 2 hours 30 minutes.

If you’re flying in, taking a taxi to the venue from any of these airports is the easiest option.
