CURRAWEENA RETREAT
Designed as a slower-paced escape, this women's only retreat is about returning to the essentials: books, cosiness, indulgence, and gentle conversation. Spend your days reading, eating, drinking, soaking, and unwinding - joining in when you feel like it, retreating when you don’t. It’s connection without expectation, community without overwhelm. This weekend is intentionally unhurried.
