Find Yourself
All The Way Alive
in Paradise
Full-bodied. Whole-hearted.
An intimate retreat guided by The Heroine’s Journey.
North Stradbroke Island · Coming 2027
There’s a threshold awaiting you, my love. You may have felt it for some time now. Undulating. Carving away at all that you believed to be true. Beckoning you.
Like something is ready to be birthed, and also, that something needs to be released.
You’ve been tending to the crevices, excavating and questioning. And still, you feel it. That something wild awaits you and that you can only say yes to it, and yet you’ve no idea what is on the other side.
All The Way Alive is an intimate, devotional three-night container held by three facilitators on the sacred shores of North Stradbroke Island. Here, on the new moon of October, we descend together... into the body. The myth. The medicine. And the stories under the story.
With utter reverence and unconditional tenderness, we strip away the layers of conditioning, to find ourselves All the Way Alive.
This is The Heroine’s Journey: experiential edit.
The Island
The four days follow the arc of the Heroine's Journey; descent, root, bloom. Mapped to the rhythms of your body, the wisdom of your natal chart, and the North Stradbroke Island — Minjerribah — sits in Quandamooka Country, thirty minutes via ferry from Brisbane and a world away from everything. Ancient, wild, alive. The world’s second largest sand island, those sands 95% pure quartz crystal. She’s an amplifier, a powerful cleanser, and medicine in her own right.
We are held at Whales Tale, Point Lookout; a private, lush, fully catered retreat house with views to the ocean and passing whales.medicine of the new moon.
The Journey
Coming 2027
The four days follow the arc of the Heroine's Journey; descent, root, bloom. Mapped to the rhythms of your body, the wisdom of your natal chart, and the medicine of the new moon.
Friday
The Threshold
Saturday
The Descent
Sunday
The Root
The deep work continues. More astrology, more massage. You become literate in the language of the body. In the afternoon, Story Medicine and Narrative Therapy; the art of authoring and living your own myth. Somatic yoga with Kat to anchor it all in. A long, nourishing dinner. A free evening to rest in what’s moving through you.
Monday
The Bloom
The last sunrise. Yin yoga and closing ceremony; the great softening before re-entry. Breakfast together. Departures.
Please know, while we do our best to tether ourselves to the timetable, life is dynamic. Mother Nature is dynamic. We honour Her in all that we do and move with the weather as required.
Before & After Care
The full moon before:
A group Zoom to set intentions, meet each other, and begin preparing for the descent.
The full moon after:
A group Zoom to integrate what landed, witness where each woman is going, and carry the container forward.
Your Facilitators
Nelle
Nelle is a women’s health naturopath, astrologer, and narrative therapist with a particular devotion to perimenopause as a rite of passage. Each woman receives an individual astrology session and workshops hosted by Nelle throughout the retreat. Above all, Nelle is an impeccable space-holder and radiant wisdom-keeper, attuned to the nuance of transformation and life purpose.
Kat
Kat has been facilitating retreats on Stradbroke Island and in Bali for over twenty years. Her yoga sessions are elemental, fluid, playful, and deeply attuned to the arc of the journey. Dynamic on Saturday to ignite. Somatic on Sunday to hold. Yin on Monday to surrender. Kat is also magic in the kitchen and nourishes every single body with extraordinary plant-based meals throughout the four days.
