An Elemental Retreat
October 27th to 29th 2023 - Byron Bay Hinterland
Reconnect to your natural self
Mind. Body. Spirit.
Away from the distraction of every day life, join us in a journey of deep reconnection to your natural self.
Bath yourself in the beauty of the Byron Bay hinterland, reconnecting to yourself by embodying the elements of nature through the deep healing combination of Elemental Prana Flow yoga, nature hikes, waterfall swims, meditations in bamboos forest and the vibrational retune of vibroacoustic sound therapy..
In this 2-night retreat, Dorothee Marossero and Katie Jameson will take you on a journey of reconnection with the elements of nature:
Earth, water, fire and air.
Embodying the natural elements is a beautiful and essential step in the spiritual development process. It allows us to slow down, to observe, to tune, to be in awe, to rediscover certain aspects of ourselves and let go of what is not serving anymore, the "masks" we wear, the "shoulds" and limiting beliefs, and step up to a new level of presence and vibrancy.
Join us for a deeply transformative reset!
If you feel a strong desire to reconnect with yourself, release what is not serving you anymore, cultivate peace and joy in your heart, through the magic of movement medicine, the elements of nature and the magic of sound healing, this retreat is for you!
Nestled in the ancestrally grounded Byron Bay hinterland, the House of Moon’s property is an acreage of expansive tropical gardens, fruit orchards, enchanted bamboo forests and abundant native wildlife. The property offers breathtaking views of the hinterland valley, with serene and magnificent sunrise and sunset. The nighttime is just as magical with mesmerising star gazing and moon bathing. An extensive and abundant veggie garden provides wholesome, fresh and organic food for the whole retreat, cooked with love by the beautiful earth mama Mali Moon.

What we will be doing
Mind. Body. Spirit.
Indulge in the healing combination of high vibrational organic food, energising and grounding elemental Prana vinyasa yoga and a vibrational retune with vibroacoustic sound therapy.
Elemental Prana Vinyasa Yoga
We are part of the natural world, we are partly Earth, partly Water, partly Fire, partly Air... Prana vinyasa yoga sessions are an invitation to reconnect deeply to your natural self, your Higher Self, through soulful movements bathed by inspiring music. Each practice is an embodiment of an element (earth, water, fire, air) and an activation of the corresponding energy centre.
Prana Vinyasa is an evolutionary and soulful yoga style created by Shiva Rea. Breathe, move, dance, enjoy a 2-hour Prana vinyasa yoga practice every day of the retreat!
Vibroacoustic
Medicine
We are electromagnetic beings, and every aspect of us is a vibrational frequency. Allow Katherine to support every cell of your body to resonate through her vibroacoustic sound therapy devices. As you lay atop the sound lounge, hundreds of healing sound waves pulse directly throughout the waters, bones, organs, cells of your body resonating and retuning Imbalances. Sound therapy tracks are scientifically composed for a range of healing conditions. Indulge in two 2-hour Yin and Sound Healing sessions during the retreat, plus vibroacoustic devices are available throughout your time here or for an even deeper experience, book an extra private session with Katie.
Slow earthy living
Give yourself permission to slow down, to feel the energy of the beautiful land, to nourish your body with wholesome organic food grown on the property. Reconnect with the grounding essence of the earth and the fluidity of the water on our hike and swim in one of the natural swim hole located in the area. Still your mind in the bamboo cathedral during our outdoor meditation, and release anything that is not serving you during our bon fire ceremony.
