Hinterland, not town
Retreats sit in the hills behind Byron, so the days are quiet, green and free of the town's traffic, with the beach still close enough for an afternoon.
Byron Bay hinterland & online

Byron Bay hinterland
Three venues, one quiet intention.
Each retreat is held somewhere that lets the days slow down: pools, sauna, ice bath, good food and room to breathe.
The venues
Where the retreats are held.
BlueGreen Sanctuary
Newrybar, twenty minutes from Byron Bay
A nature-filled property in the hinterland with three pools, a sauna, an ice bath, a yoga shala and luxurious rooms. Home to the day retreats and the signature February retreat.
Wybalena Organic Farm
Byron hinterland
A working organic farm with a farmhouse kitchen, open paddocks and a slower rhythm. Home to the Slow Life Retreat, where a good part of dinner is picked that afternoon.
Villa Riad
Byron Bay
A small design-led villa with a pool and a chef's kitchen, used for the EVOLVE alumni retreat where the group is intentionally tiny.
Why Byron Bay
The hinterland does half the work.
02
Everything within reach
Ballina Byron Gateway Airport is around thirty minutes away, Gold Coast Airport around an hour. Transfers are arranged for four-day retreats.
03
The right season, year round
Winter days sit in the low twenties and summer is warm and green, so the practice moves outdoors most of the year.
