from burnout to embodiment
A wellness retreat for busy health professionals
Murrah Dream Retreat, just south of Bermagui
3pm Thursday March 7 to 3pm Sunday March 10, 2024
Can't remember the last time you felt really relaxed and inspired?
Caring for others over the last few years may have left you feeling disconnected from yourself and others.
Being a health professional means you are often giving out more than taking in, and under constant stress, with often not enough time to check in with yourself.
The facilities are sensitively designed to optimise the healing energy that emanates from this sacred land offering rejuvenation, inspiration and connection to nature and self.
Come and be nurtured by this
sacred land
You will immediately feel the serenity and peace emanating from Murrah Dream Retreat.
You'll feel rejuvenated, inspired and connected to mother natures offerings at every angle of your stay.
Join us for a deeply experiential weekend exploring embodied pathways to befriend all parts of your Self.
A trauma aware space for you to reconnect with your Self
We value sharing the power with you so you feel safe and clear about your needs.
You'll feel a huge shift in your body and mind, and experience how calm and clarity are also your natural stares of being.
Morning Trauma Sensitive Yoga
Begin your day with accessible, mindful movement, breath and meditation. This sets the tone of your day, and connects you to your embodied feelings with compassion and trust.
The trauma sensitive approach helped me feel comfortable and calm which helped clear my mind. Retreating from the everyday was a real bonus with time to reflect, to think and be still. Heartspace Retreat participant
Our retreat rhythms are designed to transform your daily self care rhythms, so you go home more self aware.

About Kendra your retreat leader
Since the birth of my first child 23 years ago, I have taken myself off to numerous annual retreats to re-engage with my need for a balanced, spiritual, 'householder' life.
Yoga, particularly meditation, has offered me a continuous, sustainable pathway towards self awakening and wellness.
As a Yoga Therapist, I am aware of the mental health crisis we are in, and offer retreats as a way of immersing ourselves in the 'inner calling' quite often left behind in the busyness of the world.
I invite you to join us, find community, and restore your natural healing states.
Love and wellness
