Join Sharon Spencer and Kate Blacket for a weekend of deep rest, remembrance and renewal.
NATURE | NOURISHMENT | COMMUNITY
Restful and rejuvenating, our weekend together will give you space to escape the noise of our modern world and rest deeply in a sacred container that is held just for you.
Over four nourishing days and three gentle nights, reconnect to your inner rhythms, the turning of the seasons, and the cyclical nature of rest, creation, release, and renewal.
King Parrot Cottages in the Otways, Victoria.
“Make peace with all the women you once were.
Lay flowers at their feet.
Offer them incense and honey and forgiveness.
Honor them and give them your silence.
Listen.
Bless them and let them be.
For they are the bones of the temple you sit in now.
For they are the rivers of wisdom leading you toward the sea.”
Our home for the weekend will be in the beautifully pristine rainforest of the Otway Ranges, in architecturally designed cottage-style accommodation with panoramic views across the Pennyroyal Valley. You will relax in complete comfort with the generous facilities, including spacious, climate-controlled rooms with quality linen, relaxed living areas, a dedicated yoga and meditation room with gorgeous views, quiet nature nooks where you can daydream, read or journal.
The property is in a secluded location in an ancient eucalyptus rainforest with lush fern gullies, walking paths, abundant wildlife, and a gorgeous natural creek and waterfall. The only sounds you will hear will be those of nature.
Expect to fill your cup with uplifting yoga & somatic movement, soothing meditation practices, healing mantra and sound, meaningful seasonal rituals, quiet walks in nature, inspiring conversation with like-minded souls, refreshing dips in the salt water swimming pool, delicious home cooked meals made with seasonal produce by the wonderful Izzy of Brassica Catering, and plenty of personal time for rest and contemplation.
Massage & Reiki sessions will also be available over the weekend at an additonal cost.
4 days/ 3 nights accommodation with all linen and towels provided
Healthy and delicious home-made vegetarian meals made with seasonal produce
Daily yoga & meditation, nature walks, seasonal rituals & community activities

Kate Blacket
Kate leads a heart-centred practice that will nourish your body, mind and spirit. Kate believes through regular practice we become more intimate with our inner self and our heart’s intention. Our practice unveils habits and patterns that no longer serve us, and we become more mindful of the way we are moving through our daily life.
