Nature Immersions @ Barragunda Estate

Get in touch about upcoming immersions at Barragunda Estate, Cape Schanck, Victoria, Australia.

We hold open retreats, and bespoke retreats for groups looking to connect and practice skills to build Future-Fitness.

At the heart of Future-Fitness is inner growth: an ‘up-stretch’ in how we make meaning, expanding our ways of being and knowing in the world.  It is a recognition that the old ways of being and thinking will not help us solve the problems we are facing today.  

Retreats allow us to immerse yourselves in nature's rhythms, in embodied practices that can shift your perception of yourself, your connection to nature, and the way you relate to the problems you are trying to solve.

What to Expect

  • Immersive nature-based experiences - connecting with the elements and natural rhythms to slow your nervous system and allow for greater coherence.

  • Embodied practices, including guided meditation, sound healing, drumming, and transformational breath to anchor your awareness at a more primal consciousness.

  • Facilitated conversation and self-reflection to allow for sense-making.

  • Exploring ancient wisdom, stories and practices that can be applied to modern dilemmas.

  • Nourish your mind and body with delish farm grown and nutrient dense food.

Gather with us around the fire for a retreat experience that will create deep shifts in your perception, beliefs and understanding of your inner world and the world around you.

Barragunda Estate

Positioned on the rugged eastern tip of Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, Barragunda Estate features 1,000 acres of sprawling native bushland stretching from Green’s Bush to Bushranger’s Bay and the towering cliffs of Cape Schanck.

With its location on the lands of the Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin nation, Barragunda’s name is said to be an ode to the thunderous roar of the sea along the cliff-edged coastline.
