Foundations of Flow Retreat – Byron Bay – Sept 22nd – 25th

Foundations of Flow Retreat 

Sept 22nd – 25th 

Are you ready to inject some flow into your life?

Many have heard of it, some have experienced it, yet only a few have learnt the skills and techniques to cultivate it into their life on a daily basis.  Your ability to live in flow is directly linked to your levels of happiness and fulfilment and have a significant impact on your levels of focus and ability to live a dynamic life.

At our upcoming FOUNDATIONS OF FLOW Retreat, the 3^rd instalment of our yearly retreat schedule, we bring together ancient practices and knowledge with the most up to date science and techniques around peak performance, to deliver the perfect blend of yin and yang to allow you to create alignment, balance, and perspective in your life.

Over the 4-day retreat held in the amazingly beautiful Byron Bay hinterland at Sattva Sanctuary Australia, we create an immersive space to unpack and release the emotional aspects of self, habits and beliefs that no longer serve you, in turn, increasing your capacity to tap into the expansive flow of the universe through a fusion of movement, sacred practices, meditation, breath-work and art therapy.

If you are looking for new ways to transform and give back to yourself whilst hitting the reset button, allowing you to shift your life in the direction of your dreams, then the FOUNDATIONS OF FLOW Retreat is exactly what you have been looking for.

Whether you have a consistent practice, or it is your first time exploring a deeper way of life, this is the perfect inclusion to your self-care calendar. From our past two sold-out retreats, we have witnessed so many of our attendees leave with deeper purpose, focussed direction and unrivalled self-belief around having the confidence to utilise the tools and techniques we teach you and continue your journey of self-discovery long into the future.  It’s time to create your Foundation for FLOW!

What your experience looks like:

• How to move your body to create more energy, reduce inflammation and increase mobility.
• How to use meditation to quiet the monkey mind, improve focus and increase mental clarity.
• Learning specific Himalayan breathing techniques designed to connect and align your body, mind and soul allowing you to manage stress and anxiety and release the negative effects from your body.
• Learn easy to implement strategies around nutrition and hydration that decrease inflammation, increase energy, minimise cravings and enhance skin health.
• Understand the importance of quality sleep to improve recovery and boost your immune system.
• How to integrate and adopt a growth mindset that allows you to access flow state in everyday life, in turn taking control of your emotions, managing your thoughts, and nurturing deeper relationships grounded in self-acceptance.

If you are ready to embrace change, open your heart and connect with some amazing souls, lock in your spot today and point your gaze towards a future of self-love, holistic health and inspired action.
