Breathe & Be Retreats
No make-up, No mask, Just your authentic self!
Hidden in the lush hills of Monbulk, a place once used by Indigenous people as a natural refuge - a sanctuary for rest, healing, and renewal after battle - you’re invited to experience your own modern-day restoration.
Breathe and Be is a retreat designed to help you come home to yourself.
Slow down and connect with nature. Return to yourself.
Our seasonal retreats are immersive, multi-day experiences designed to help you step out of the noise of everyday life and back into your body, your breath, and the natural rhythm of the land.
Held across the changing seasons, these retreats offer a deeply restorative space to rest, release, and reset — supported by breathwork, sound, nature, animals, and nourishing food made with care.
Rather than pushing or performing, our retreats invite you to soften, listen, and allow your nervous system to settle. Each experience is guided, intentional, and spacious, with plenty of room to simply be.
What a day looks like:
Each morning begins gently with QiGong in the forest, allowing your body to wake slowly and align with the energy of the land. From there, the days unfold with a thoughtful balance of guided experiences and unstructured time, including: a variety of breathwork sessions to support emotional release and nervous system regulation, sound healing journeys to integrate, soften, and restore. Sharing circles that are supportive and forward-focused, forest walks and quiet moments in nature, journalling and reflective practices, hammock time and daytime naps, time with the animals who offer grounding, presence, and learning.
Nothing is rushed. There is no pressure to participate in everything. Your time is yours.
Nourishment, the way it should be
Food is a central part of the retreat experience.
You’ll be nourished with delicious, seasonal, mostly plant-based meals, lovingly prepared using produce sourced from the farm and local growers whenever possible. Meals are designed to support your body, digestion, and nervous system — the kind of food that feels grounding, comforting, and deeply cared for.
We eat together, slowly, and with appreciation.
Gentle challenge, held in safety
For those who feel called, an ice bath challenge is offered as an optional practice. Guided with care and preparation, this experience supports resilience, presence, and trust in your body — always with consent, safety, and choice at the forefront.
Personalised support
Each guest will receive one personalised session, choosing between:
a full body massage, Equine Assisted Learning session or a personal sound healing
This one-on-one experience allows you to go deeper in the way that feels most supportive for you.
Integration and take-home support
As the retreat comes to a close, everyone is invited back for a post-integration zoom call, to connect, re-regulate and discuss the integration process. You’ll also receive a guided breathwork recording to take home, so you can continue supporting your nervous system and returning to calm long after you leave the farm.
Nurture Creek sits on land that has long been a place of refuge and restoration. The forest, the animals, and the quiet rhythms of the farm offer a natural container for healing — reminding you that you don’t need to be fixed, only supported.
At Nurture Creek, the forest holds you in stillness.
The animals - calm, curious, and accepting - meet you without judgment. Here, you’re invited to remove every layer of expectation: no make-up, no mask, no performance.
Just you - raw, real, and ready to breathe again.

The experience of participating in breathwork and sound healing at nurture creek was real. Its not a fad you won't be arriving to hype. You'll arrive to land that wraps you, animals that whisper we're here, your heart feels a delight just being.You know your a part of something thats special, alive and growing.
Nature meets you. Bek is bubbly, un phaised like bubbles on the creek itself, her retreats bob along at a gentle invitational pace. You feel the wash of the outside word recede and you move into the flow of nurture creek time. At first you exhale. Then there's an offer to drop and explore and reinvigorate.
Bek and Elise hold the space and truly support your experience. Beks voice is soft, soothing and supportive. Elises sound healing is liquid gold, love wrapped in sound, words cannot describe what her voice carries. Together they carry you, on a sublime journey back to yourself.

Welcoming. Inviting. Real. Magic.
Loved how nature wrapped around us the animals accepted us on their own terms and the weather and small birds supported us to slow down.
Wholesome.

I recently attended and found it to be a truly transformative experience. From the moment I entered the space it felt calm, grounding and intentional.
Bek guided us through a series of breath work techniques that helped me drop out from my busy mind and into my body.
The sessions were great for beginners and more experienced and I highly recommend.

Gentle sounds invited us to unwind as Beks voice began to gently support us to begin breathing, rolling in and out of the experience.
A wave of sound, Elise's powerful voice lifted us gently and we took flight.
Caressed back to the shore by the practice and pace of Beks mindful holding.
Little seal women arrived on their sides back in their soul skin hearts to the sky.

Set in a beautiful environment, your energy changes the minute you arrive. It's peaceful, nurturing and a truely beautiful experience.
The food was the extra nourishment you don't realise you need. The task you always do, being done with such care & consideration. The food was nourishing wholesome and delicious. It felt like it had been cooked by the Aunty's you always wish you had!
