Women's Retreat

Come as you are, leave as more of who you are

Join the retreat

An invitation…

Away from the noise and responsibilities of your everyday life, you’ll have space to remember who you truly are, and to rediscover what it feels like to create, to play, and to live in alignment with your deeper self.

You don’t have to have done yoga or be an artist. You don’t need to know anyone.
This is a space for women who’ve spent their lives showing up for everyone else and are now ready to return to their own creative essence.

About

The Elementa CREATION Retreat is an invitation to awaken your joy, curiosity, and purpose through holistic arts, movement, and wellbeing practices, supported by a loving community of women on the same journey.

This is a time of deep healing and creative renewal, interwoven with light-heartedness, connection, and rest. Reconnect with your inner artist, your body, and your natural rhythm of inspiration and flow.

What happens when you return to yourself

    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!

  • 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!!

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.
