Join our Online Community & Stay Connected

The WhatsApp community is a growing network of makers, growers, and seekers, grounded in a shared purpose for cultivating mindfulness, creativity, spirituality, and nature-based connection. We stay connected via our WhatsApp group and monthly online meditation practice sessions, creating a digital hearth for our collective work.

At The Eco Retreat, we cultivate a grounded, spirit-led community dedicated to the intersection of nature, deep presence, and intentional action. Whether connecting through our online network or joining us in person across Melbourne and the Surf Coast, we provide a space to slow down, embrace creative expression, and weave a collective vision for a more conscious future.

We believe authentic growth flourishes when inner clarity is woven into outer action. Our community acts as a collaborative lab, a place where thought leadership, diverse expressions of creativity, and spiritual inquiry meet to shape a more resonant culture.

About Our Community

Honouring Our Roots

We stand on the foundations laid by those who came before us. We offer our deep respect to the Indigenous ancestors of the Kulin nations, and honour our own personal lineages. Our practice is enriched by the wisdom of the Buddha’s teachings, alongside the diverse Western philosophical and spiritual traditions that have guided us to this moment. We are building a vibrant, diverse community on Wurundjeri Country (Melbourne) and Gadubanud Country (Surf Coast), rooted in the generous exchange of wisdom, skills, and mutual support.
