When

Location

Our retreat is hosted at the Portsea Surf Life Saving Club. It is a location that is one-of-a-kind – the clubhouse is situated facing the often ferocious and energetic waters of Bass Strait. You will breathe the ocean air, meditate to the sound of the waves crashing below, and immerse in the healing salt water. It is the perfect location to explore the relationship between yourself and Nature.
