HSWG SUMMER RETREAT SERIES
THE FEMININE AWAKENING RETREAT
[DATES TBC | 2026] | Austinvilla Estate
THIS WAS CREATED FOR YOU
you’re exactly where you’re meant to be
Awaken . Breathe . Re-align
THIS IS YOUR MOMENT
To pause, to breathe. To soften the edges that the world has asked you to hold. And to remember the woman beneath it all. Because this isn’t just rest...it’s a return.
WELCOME TO OUR HOME
You've landed in the right place
Austinvilla Estate
Nestled in the Gold Coast Hinterland across 111 acres of open hills and still air, where wallabies move at dusk, the creek runs quietly through the trees and something in you instantly exhales.
A place for women to gather...
To reconnect. To remember. To come home to yourself.
Where the noise fades and you can finally hear yourself again. Because here nature is medicine. Connection is medicine. And we gather the way women once did in circle, in conversation, in presence.
IT'S TIME TO DROP IN
To reconnect with your body, your breath, and
your vision. And from that place, the next version of you starts to unfold.
THE EXPERIENCE THAT AWAITS YOU
included in THE FEMININE AWAKENING RETREAT
Across the weekend, you’ll be guided through identity work, movement, energy practices, art, and somatic experiences designed to help you soften, release stored tension, and reconnect with your natural rhythm. It’s a playful yet profound journey - one that awakens what’s been dormant, brings you back into your body, and reminds you how good it feels to be fully alive.
Expert-Led Workshops
Real tools for real growth.
No fluff - just world-class facilitators helping you navigate the season you’re in, break through what’s blocking you, and create a clear path forward.
Breathe · Move · Nurture
Get out of your head and into your body.
Through yoga, breathwork, and nature-based practices, you’ll release what’s heavy, calm your nervous system, and feel clear, grounded, and alive again.
Community & Connection
You weren’t meant to do this alone.
Here, you’ll meet women who see you, celebrate you, and walk beside you long after the retreat ends. The connections you make here change everything.
Space to Pause
Step away from the noise. Follow the creek, wander the trails, watch joeys at dusk - this is your circuit breaker, a return to stillness and to you.
Nourishment From Within
Every meal supports your body and nervous system. Locally sourced, seasonal, and made with intention — nourishment becomes ritual, care, and connection
Integration & Embodiment
Transformation that lasts.
You’ll leave with frameworks, practices, and contacts to keep the momentum going - bringing your retreat breakthroughs into real life.
ENVIRONMENTS SHAPE WHO WE BECOME
Our mission is to build places that remind people what’s possible when they feel seen,
supported and connected. Together, this is how we create the ripple effect of positive change.

IT'S TIME TO LEAN IN
environments shape who we become
The spaces we step into have the power to change everything. They hold us, soften our edges, expand our vision, and remind us of what’s possible. Here, surrounded by nature and guided by some of Australia’s leading facilitators, you’ll find an environment that doesn’t just inspire change - it makes it inevitable. This is where your next chapter begins - calm, clear, and deeply connected.
The space you create in your events is like nothing I’ve ever experienced and it always leaves me feeling so empowered and inspired to continue making change. I’m so so thankful I’ve had the chance to connect with you and all of the magical work you do 🤍
