A holistic retreat, permaculture garden & regenerative farm for
community well-being, arts & ecology in Boonah, Victoria.
Tucked into 70 acres of undulating land in Boonah, Victoria, The Eco Retreat is a living, breathing sanctuary for remembering our place in the web of life. Nestled where ancient forests meet the coastline, just two hours from Melbourne, this wild place helps you to slow down, breathe, and listen deeply to the natural world.
Here, we inspire regenerative living with retreats, creative arts, cooking and nature-based practices and projects. Whether you're seeking healing in the wilderness, an emerging eco leader or being involved in deep nature nourishment in the organic kitchen garden and wildlife corridors or bush trails, reach out and connect.
