The Return: A Wellness Summer Camp

THE RETURN —
a wellness summer camp.

Four days to move, create, rest and play. Remember how good it feels to be YOU.

5–8 NOVEMBER 2026 · GOLD COAST HINTERLAND

THE RETURN

Life got busy,
We got serious,
The world got loud,

Somewhere between work, looking after everyone else and keeping up, the things that make us feel good became the things we’d get to later.

Time outside. Moving our bodies. Making things with our hands. A proper laugh. A quiet moment to hear ourselves think.

Remember when you played outside until sunset and lost track of time because you were having fun?

That curious, creative, carefree part of you is still there. She just needs a little room.

Welcome to THE RETURN: a wellness summer camp at Austinvilla Estate.

For four days, swap the constant doing for slow mornings, movement that feels good, freshwater swims, long meals, creative afternoons and conversations you don’t want to end.

With beautiful accommodation, chef-prepared meals and thoughtful experiences woven throughout, there’s room to join in the fun and room to catch your breath.

These days are an invitation to come back to the basics of what helps us thrive, and discover what you want to take home. A morning ritual you love. A new way to move. More time in nature. Simple tools and practices that help you make space for yourself long after summer camp ends.

A return to community. To nature. To creativity, joy and play. To everything that makes you feel alive.

Pack your bags. We’ve made room for you.

TWO WOMEN. TWO COMMUNITIES.

And a place for you.

You know that feeling when you meet someone and can finally relax into being yourself? The conversation comes easily, you laugh a little louder and suddenly you’re making plans to see each other again. That’s the feeling we want to create here.

Grace Henry-Hicks and Alexz Parviainen have each built communities that give women space to connect, feel supported and make time for themselves.

Now, they’re bringing those worlds together.

Alexz brings her love of movement, mindfulness and helping women build a kinder relationship with themselves. For her, feeling good goes beyond the physical, it’s about caring for your mind, finding joy in movement and making self-love something you practise. A moment to get out of your head, connect with your body and recognise the strength already within you.

Grace brings her warmth, curiosity and love of creating experiences that bring women closer to themselves, to each other and to nature. She believes that when you step out of the constant doing and into an environment where you can catch your breath, have fun and feel connected, you begin to reconnect with your own magic. Your glow. The parts of you that everyday life can crowd out.

It’s something every woman has within her. Sometimes, you just need the space to feel it again.

Together, they’ve imagined the kind of summer camp they’d love to escape to themselves. Somewhere you can feel welcomed, cared for and free to enjoy the day. Join in, try something new or take an afternoon entirely for yourself.

Whether you’ve been part of their communities for years or this is your first hello, you’re invited. Come with your girls or come on your own. We’ll be there to welcome you.

Across the four days, Alexz will invite you to enjoy movement and explore practices you can keep making time for at home.

Grace brings people together.Through retreats, gatherings and shared experiences, she creates space for women to step out of everyday life, connect with each other and make room for what matters to them.Her work is grounded in the belief that one conversation, one connection or one extraordinary experience can change the direction of a life.At The Return, Grace will be your host throughout the four days, bringing her warmth, curiosity and love of human connection to the experience. She’ll also guide Human Design as an opportunity to explore your individual nature and understand yourself more deeply.From the first welcome to the final breakfast, she wants you to feel included, looked after and comfortable being yourself.

A proper laugh. Moving your body because it feels good. Using your hands to create and play. Being with women you can relax around. We’ve woven seven returns through your four days, each one making room for something everyday life can crowd out.
