A nature-based, holistic retreat for community well-being, creative arts & 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 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 and leadership with retreats, creative arts and ecology practices and programs. Whether you're seeking healing in the wilderness, interested in your own earth steward project or being involved in community volunteering in the organic garden and land for wildlife reach out and connect.
