Your invitation
Elementa Women's Retreat is a four-day women’s retreat at BlueGreen Sanctuary in the Byron Bay hinterland, from 26 February to 1 March 2027. Yoga, qi gong, somatic movement, creativity and fire circles bring the group together, with time for nature, rest and meals cooked by a private chef.
We dive into creativity, connection, somatics, nature and a whole lot of fun (a healing modality in itself). Ancient practices meet modern life, and you will realise that profound depth and joy can co-exist when you step outside your familiar environment and let yourself be open to the possibilities.
In between, you swim in one of three pools, sit in the sauna, try the ice bath or book a massage from heaven, while alpacas wander the fields.
This is an invitation for the curious woman who is ready for the extraordinary.

Women arrive at my retreats from completely different lives, and that mix is my favourite part. This retreat is open to any woman who wants to come, but there are a few I meet again and again:
- You’d love a few women in your life who’d happily talk until midnight about the real stuff.
- Your laptop comes on holiday with you, and you feel a little burnt out from constantly being 'on'
- You can’t remember the last meal someone else cooked and cleared up for you.
- Something has just ended, or is about to start, and you’d like a few days to stand still before the next part, whether you’re celebrating something in your life or ready to let go of something for good.
- You used to consider yourself creative, or you’ve always wanted to try, and there’s never been the space for it.

A day at the Elementa women's retreat
Gentle movement to wake the body, then a long breakfast from your private chef. Workshops and lunch at one long table, then the afternoon belongs to you: three pools, the sauna, a massage, the hinterland to wander. Candlelit dinner as the light goes, then the fire and conversation that runs late. Expect surprises, art, depth, fun and exploration.
The full schedule stays a secret until you arrive.
So you can let go of planning and meet each day with an open mind.

What's on the table
Catered by Tom and Tash at Burbury Wholefoods.
Tom and Tash build each menu around local, seasonal produce, most of it from organic and regenerative farms, with Mediterranean and Ayurvedic principles underneath.
Their kitchen is refined-sugar free and cooks in coconut oil, ghee or cold-pressed local olive oil. The menu is gluten free apart from a 72 hour fermented sourdough at breakfast, and primarily dairy-free, with occasional biodynamic yogurt, Deb's cheese, cultured butter and eggs from Oliver's Hens.
BlueGreen Sanctuary
Four days in your own pocket of paradise.
Just twenty minutes from Byron Bay, tropical gardens open onto lily ponds dotted with blue lotus flowers, three pools, a luxury yoga shala and a massage treatment space floating over the water. Ease into the ice bath and the infrared sauna, wander past alpacas in the fields, then gather around the outdoor fire pit and tipi as dusk settles over the gardens. The whole property is ours to enjoy.

How they felt after the retreat.
Hear from real guests, in their own words.
Your facilitator, Anastasia.
Anastasia is a somatic facilitator, movement practitioner and researcher whose work draws on theatre, education, yoga, qi gong, arts therapy and somatic inquiry. She treats these practices as gateways into deeper layers of being, and brings that curiosity into the rooms she leads.
Over the past decade she has hosted dozens of retreats and guided hundreds of people through real transformation. She works from the belief that community, creativity and time in nature, woven together, return people to their own centre.

Anastasia’s experience and training“Every experience has been unique, yet Anastasia always manages to create such a beautiful and inclusive space in which magic truly happens.”
An easy arrival into Byron Bay.
The retreat is held in the hills just outside Byron Bay, a coastal town in northern New South Wales known for its ocean air and slow rhythm.
Fly into Ballina (BNK), 15 minutes away with direct daily flights from most major Australian cities, or the Gold Coast (OOL), about 1 hour 15, or Brisbane (BNE), roughly 2 hours 30. A taxi from any of them is the simplest way in.

Before you book your place.
Read: what actually happens at a women’s retreatWhen and where is the retreat?
26 February to 1 March 2027 at BlueGreen Sanctuary in the Byron Bay hinterland, northern New South Wales, Australia. Residential stays include three nights' accommodation.
I've never been on a retreat before. Will I feel out of place?
No. Most women arrive slightly nervous and 90% come solo. Every session is optional, every practice is beginner-friendly, and nobody is asked to perform, share or push through anything.
I don't know anyone else going.
Neither do most of the group. Shared meals, circle and the small size of the retreat mean you know everyone by the second morning. Guests in a deluxe shared room can bring a friend or be matched.
What's the difference between a deluxe shared room and a deluxe private room?
A deluxe shared room is one place in a room with another woman, currently $2,300 per person. A deluxe private room is yours alone, currently $3,400. All rooms have their own bathroom. Meals, practices and property access are identical.
What is included, and can I attend without staying overnight?
Residential bookings include three nights' accommodation, every meal by private chef, the full retreat program, three pools, sauna and ice bath, linen and towels, and your Elementa gift bag. A non-residential place is A$1,100 for the four-day program, daytime meals and property access, without accommodation.
I have dietary requirements.
Tell us at booking and Tom and Tash from Burbury Wholefoods cook around them. Vegetarian, gluten free, dairy free and allergy needs are all standard here.
Can I pay it off over time?
Four equal payments are available for residential bookings made before 17 December 2026, Brisbane time. The first is paid when you book, followed by a payment every 14 days. Non-residential places are paid in full.
What if my plans change?
Cancellation terms are in our refund policy. Email hello@elementa.au if you need to discuss your booking.
