The Living Soul Retreat 14th - 16th August - Cape Schanck, Vic
The Living Soul Retreat
14th - 16th August Cape Schanck, Vic
A weekend of transformation, connection, restorative healing and integration, through breathwork, yoga, family constellation workshop, art therapy, meditation and sound healing this weekend will leave you feeling renewed, reclaimed and reconnected to your living soul. Come join like-minded souls for a deeper sense of inner connection, somatic intelligence, emotional empowerment and psycho-spiritual integration.
This retreat is an intentional offering that will be integrating experiential modalities and workshops for you to gain greater insight into the patterns that hold you back. These core thoughts unconsciously or subconsciously continue to play out your old stories and beliefs.
You cannot access these through talk therapy as this is beyond the mental mind. The gifts of experiential altered state experiences gives you access to these shadow parts that long to be felt and expressed allowing you to meet yourself on a deeper level.
When we are together, we can hold things that we cannot hold on our own, we can feel things that we cannot feel on our own…..gathering with soul travelers is an ancient practice. We do it because we know that connection is healing and through this connection, we open to something greater.
Cape Retreat is the perfect host for our weekend retreat with inspiring views from every vantage point this exceptional property will capture your heart.

A guided meditation and activation of our multidimensional heart to feel the full power of our presence. Sound frequencies and sacred tools to enrich and arrive in your body and in space.
Family Constellations Workshop
Family Constellations is a gentle yet powerful experiential process that explores the hidden dynamics within families and relationships. It reveals the often-unseen influences carried across generations that may impact our emotional wellbeing, behaviou’s and sense of belonging. Whether participating as a client or within the group field, the experience is often deeply insightful, emotional and transformative.
Ceremonial Breathwork
Connected Breathwork is an experiential healing modality that uses conscious connected breathing to access expanded states of consciousness while releasing repressed emotions and stagnant energy from the mind, body and spirit. Through an intentional and safe increase of oxygen levels, different areas of the brain are activated, supporting new neural pathways, heightened clarity, emotional release and deeper self-awareness. Breathwork allows us to access unresolved emotional imprints and reconnect with the sacred intelligence within.
Sound Healing
A guided sound healing journey designed to reset the nervous system, restore energetic balance and bring the body into a deeply restorative state. Using sound, breath and guided meditation, this gentle practice supports relaxation, grounding and overall wellbeing — particularly beneficial for overthinkers, overstimulated nervous systems and those needing deep rest.
Art Therapy
Art Therapy is a relational and experiential process that uses creative expression as a pathway into self-inquiry, reflection and healing. Through image-making, symbolism and gentle curiosity, experiences that sit beyond words can emerge into awareness in a safe and supported way, allowing for deeper insight, emotional processing and self-understanding.
YOGA
Yoga will be guided by Dashanti Yoga; Simone is a beautiful, embodied movement facilitator who will leave you feeling like you have just met your body for the first time. Her unique ‘Yoga Glow' is a divine moving meditation. You will also have the opportunity to join her for an early QUIESSENCE guided meditation on Sunday morning at 6am.
This experience is for those who feel called to:
🌿 Become more present and connected in their lives
🌿 Explore expanded states of consciousness through breath and healing arts
🌿 Engage in shadow work and integrate exiled parts of self
🌿 Break repeating patterns and outdated conditioning
🌿 Step into the highest expression of who they came here to be
Because we are not meant to heal alone.
These gatherings are powerful and the shifts often continue to unfold for weeks afterwards.
There is nothing I love more than holding these sacred spaces for transformation. If you feel the inner nudge — We look forward to welcoming, you to The Living Soul Retreat
A dream weekend away awaits, permission to feel, heal and be held on sacred land.

Sacred Breathwork Group Journey to be announced soon
Breathwork is a gateway to non-ordinary states of consciousness where profound healing and transformative experiences can occur. The breather is guided on a personal journey into their being, or soul. Here, one is able to access higher states of awareness, spiritual wisdom, and emotional breakthroughs (catharsis). The multi-faceted experience of breathwork incorporates intentional ceremony, vibrational sound, energy work, and various other tools to invoke the deeper aspects of one's being.
To embrace the totality of who you are is needed for any long lasting transformational work. To be safely guided to explore and express any hidden unmet or unresolved parts of you one deep breath at a time allows you to open with a gentle curiosity to call home and integrate these energies that hide in your body.
The unconscious or subconscious wisdom is the alchemy of breathwork awakening to the power of your wholeness as a resourced multi dimensional being.
The releasing residual fear, trauma, grief, blockages, stagnations or false beliefs. Breathwork is the key to unlocking the wisdom that lies within. It seeks to clear all that stands in the way of our highest expression and higher embodiment
