Writer’s Pilgrimage to the Land of Ancient Wonder and Vibrancy
A Soulful Writing Retreat | Australia | August 2026
Has Australia whispered to your heart yet?
That low hum in your chest when you think of red earth, wide skies, and wild ocean—yes, that one.
This is your invitation.
Not just a retreat, but a full-bodied, barefoot, sacred YES to yourself.
Writers often take inner journeys. Now, allow yourself a transformational one—on the other side of the globe.
In August 2026, I’ll be guiding a luminous gathering for 15 nights to the eastern lands kissed by the rising sun.
Led by Australian-born author Lulu Pearl Trevena.
This Retreat Is For You If You’re Ready To:
+ Reconnect with your inner voice
Come home to the tender truths that live beneath the surface, the ones that have waited patiently for your pen, and your sacred listening.
+ Deepen your writing practice
Slip beneath the surface of story and into the current of soul.
Write not just to produce, but to remember, reveal, and reclaim.
+ Be nourished by beauty, nature, and sacred space
Let the land hold you. Let beauty stir you awake and surround yourself with ancient earth and ocean spaces that soothe your nervous system and spark your inner flame.
Australia is vast.
We will journey through three distinct regions:
Sydney
Our adventure begins in this vibrant city. We’ll explore iconic treasures—harbor, sky, and city pulse—and receive a Welcome to Country from Indigenous Elders, wisdom keepers of one of the oldest continuous cultures on Earth.
East Coast
We’ll greet the morning sun where it first touches this continent—awakening the senses and the soul in a place of deep natural beauty.
Uluru
In the red center, we’ll stand in reverent awe before Uluru, the Earth’s Solar Plexus Chakra. This is not just a rock. It is a sacred presence. An ancient teacher and a silent witness. A still-point of remembering.
Co-creating
Moments Of:
+ Writing from the soul’s edge
Let your pen trace the tender, untamed places within—the ones that ache to be seen, sung, and sanctified. This is where truth lives, raw and radiant.
+ Laughing under southern constellations
Beneath a sky stitched with unfamiliar stars, laughter ripples through peaceful night air as a celebration of presence, community, and the stories that brought us here.
+ Nourishing creativity through bucket-list adventure
Let your body become a compass. Let awe lead the way.
From sacred sites to soul-stirring landscapes, this journey awakens your senses, enlivens your muse, and turns long-held dreams into lived experience.
The Indigenous People talk about going Walkabout: a term for a spiritual journey or rite of passage, deeply tied to the land and ancestral connection.
Ironbark Retreat
Ironbark Retreat is a bush haven where you can escape from the everyday and connect with the things that really matter—the land, new friends, and YOU. Take time out to find out what's holding you back, create some space for yourself, and discover new ways of experiencing the world.
Ironbark is a 112 acre family farm on the mid-north coast, complete with Angus steers, free range chooks (chickens) beehives, two Ragdoll cats, hundreds of wild birds, and two very friendly Kelpies (dogs).
Tucked away in beautiful bushland on Worimi Country, with spectacular views stretching across the valley, the property is 2.5 hours drive from Sydney. 50 minutes from Newcastle, and only 30 minutesfrom the airport.
Wind Spirit Retreat
World Heritage listed Wollumbin (Mt Warning) is one of Australia’s iconic landscapes, identified as the creative and spiritual heartland of Australia. It is the first place to see sunlight on mainland Australia and remains a deeply spiritual place for aboriginal people.
Located in the Byron hinterland, Australia, one hour from the Gold Coast airport. Wind Spirit is more than just a retreat... it's an immersive experience that helps you discover your true self and cultivate afresh outlook on life.
The caldera vibrates with a powerful healing energy supporting deep internal work on your transformational journey. The word ‘caldera’ comes from Spanish meaning cooking pot, and just as food
is transformed by the cooking process you too will be transformed by the powerful energy you experience
inside the caldera.
