Women’s Mindful Yoga retreat, Byron Bay
February this year I was guest photographer for the Women’s Mindful Yoga Retreat. Held in Byron Bay and hosted by Erin Lee, this was a 5 night luxe retreat that took place in the foothills of Byron Bay hinterland. Sangsurya Retreat is a sacred space used exclusively for meditation, yoga and healing practises. This was my second retreat here with Erin and this time I brought with me my sister Mardi and my sister in law Caterina. It is hard to describe exactly what transpires on a retreat like this. So many heart opening opportunities and activities that can only be described as life changing. I wanted those closest to me to experience the magic too. Five nights away from home responsibilities allows for mental space to open up. No planning dinners or household chores. Yoga, journalling, meditation, conversation, playful activities learning about yourself, massage, nourishing food, swimming, resting, time to explore Byron Bay. At the closing of this retreat, I half jokingly announce I wanted to become a full-time retreat photographer. Since then 2 more unplanned retreat opportunities opened up. The power of speaking out loud your hearts desire. I can’t wait to share with you 2 more very special retreats.
