THE ECO
RETREAT
Welcome to
The Eco Retreat
A Nature Retreat on the Surf Coast Victoria
A nature-based retreat for community well-being, creative arts
& spiritual ecology in Boonah on the Surf Coast, Victoria.
Tucked into 70 acres of undulating land in Boonah, Victoria, The Eco Retreat is a living, breathing ancient sanctuary for remembering our place in the web of life. Nestled where ancient forests meet the coastline of Aireys Inlet, just two hours from Melbourne, this quiet wilderness offers space to slow down, breathe deeply, and listen to the natural world.
Here, we explore our relationship with nature and make community through holistic retreats, expressive arts, and practical spiritual ecology practice and knowledge sharing. Through nature-based mindfulness, earth stewardship, organic farming, landcare and community volunteering, we help you remember your true nature.
Holistic Retreats & Gatherings
Immerse yourself in the ancient rhythms of the Otways. Step away from the noise and sink into the restorative quiet of the wild. Our retreats, workshops and women's circle blend nature-based mindfulness, ecotherapy, creativity and deep spiritual ecology to help you untangle from daily busyness and awaken mind, body, and spirit.
Our Vision
Remembering our true nature.
We believe that by tending our relationship with the earth and community, we can awaken a living spiritual ecology, helping transform our culture, restoring balance, and remembering the sacred web that connects us all.
