Let’s face it, we’re all feeling the need to get away.

We’re all more home-bound than we’d like to be even though lockdowns are finally coming to an end and state borders are reopening.

The great thing is that retreats are starting to happen, particularly wellness retreats. Now is a time when we need to take care of ourselves and reward ourselves for the difficult year that we’ve had. There’s also a chance to develop hobbies, such as creativity or permaculture.

Our newly-listed retreats are spread across Australia. Take a look at these new offerings:

Retreat Me Happy - an introduction to permacultureHome Grown: An Introduction to Permaculture

20-22 November 2020 – Avoca, NSW

– Gardening, Health, Massage, Nature, Sustainability, Wellness

 

 

Just 1.5 hours’ drive south of the Sydney CBD, in the beautiful Southern Highlands, an exciting new retreat from the team at Springfield, is available for guests offering space to pause, rest, and restore in their fresh country air.

Home Grown: An Introduction to Permaculture allows attendees to explore a more sustainable and regenerative way of life. The retreat offers a delicious weekend in the country for those that want a taste of permaculture through hands-on learning in the garden, learning the skills they need to easily begin growing your own edible garden at home.

Guests will be part of a small group, with their hands in the dirt during the day, whilst enjoying luxury accommodation and food direct from the garden prepared by Springfield’s incredible Chef Eilish. Attendees will learn about the basic concepts of permaculture as they benefit from Farmer Pete’s 30 years experience as both an inspirational leader and a passionate hobby farmer. Home Grown is co-facilitated by the extraordinary Moss Vale Community Garden Guru, Jill Cockram.
