What’s currently ruining your sleep the most: stress, screens or an overactive mind
😷 There’s something you could unknowingly be spreading through your team that medicine can’t fix.
Your energy.
When stress becomes your normal, people around you tend to feel it too. Tension spreads quietly. So does burnout... and the pressure of always being “on”.
This is one of the conversations covered during our four-day Stillness & Strength at Elysia Wellness Retreat, alongside wellness workshops, nourishing meals, mindful movement and grounding conversations designed to help you feel calmer, clearer and more like yourself again.
Guided by Penny Spencer and Sharon Breslin, this is a chance to pause properly and check in with yourself without distractions constantly pulling at you.
23 to 26 Oct 2026 | Hunter Valley | From $1,999 pp twin share.

You’re by an open fire, something slow-cooking, drink in hand, nowhere else to be. At The Great Glenorchy Alpine Base Camp, everything centres around food that is prepared properly and shared generously.
The days hold their own. Private heli-hikes, forest picnics cooked over fire, guided walks, or even learning the rhythm of bush cooking yourself, all set against some of New Zealand’s most untouched landscapes.
Then it’s back to your adventurer’s hut. Warmth inside, mountains outside, and just enough comfort to remind you this is not your average camp.

Honestly, if someone could explain how we’re all supposed to juggle work, parenting, relationships, wellness, drinking enough water, exercising, replying to messages and getting 8 hours sleep… that would be great 😅
Modern life is a lot.
Which is exactly why we created The Wellness Collective 🤍
A full day to slow down, reset, learn practical ways to support your wellbeing and actually take a breath for a minute.
Because surviving on caffeine and adrenaline probably isn’t the long-term plan.

🏞️ Why not take the scenic route back to yourself?
The harder question might be deciding what your version of recharging actually looks like.

Maybe it’s a COMO stay, where expert-led wellness, restorative treatments and health tech help you properly switch off without pretending you suddenly enjoy 5am yoga.
