Nestled in the lush Byron hinterland, The Power Within is a high-impact, low-distraction retreat designed for those who need more than another wellness escape.

This is for you if:

You're feeling the edge of burnout or change.
You're craving real clarity, not just good vibes.
You want science-backed, soul-deep practices that last.

We combine breathwork, movement, elemental nourishment, and deep rest in a luxury setting that helps you drop the noise and land back in your body.

You’ll walk away recharged, regulated, and clearer on where you’re heading — with tools that actually work when life ramps up again.

Why Blue Green Sanctuary

This isn’t just a venue — it’s part of the medicine.

Tucked among macadamia groves and tropical gardens, Blue Green Sanctuary is a purpose-built haven for restoration. Fireplaces, infinity pool, lily pond massage hut — every detail is designed to settle your system and return you to presence. It’s quiet, elegant, and sacred without trying too hard.

At this retreat, luxury isn’t indulgence — it’s intentional. The natural beauty and architectural design of Blue Green offer more than aesthetics; they act as healing tools that soothe your senses, regulate your nervous system, and invite you into deeper stillness. The space is curated to create a felt sense of safety and reverence, allowing your body to let go and your mind to slow down.

From the warmth of timber beams to the scent of tropical blooms, every aspect supports the work of remembering who you are when you’re not in survival mode. Blue Green Sanctuary holds you in the quiet power of presence — because how you feel in your environment shapes how deeply you can rest.

What You’ll Experience

BREATH | Regulate and Reveal
Daily breathwork and coherent breathing practices to clear tension, restore clarity, and open new energy. Breath becomes your compass — showing you what’s true and helping you move toward it.

MOVE | Strength Without Striving
Morning flow practices meet evening Yin and Qi Gong. Grounded, intelligent movement that supports your body’s natural rhythm and nervous system regulation.

NOURISH | Energy From the Inside Out
Whole, seasonal food prepared with purpose by chef Rahmie Clowes. Meals that heal, stabilise, and teach — because how you eat matters.

REST | Radical, Regenerative Rest
Infrared sauna. Magnesium pool. Massage by the lily pond. Fire-lit conversations. Time. Space. Stillness. Not as a luxury — as medicine.

ALIGN | Clarity That Sticks
Through journaling, dharma talks, and nervous system education, we help you see the patterns clearly — and choose something truer.

Why This Retreat Works

You don’t need more information. You need integration.

This retreat doesn’t overload you with practices or push you to perform. It offers space — a pause long enough to actually feel where you're at and reconnect with what’s true underneath the noise.

You’ll be guided through grounded, repeatable tools that support your nervous system, align your energy, and offer clarity that sticks. Practices that help you stop managing symptoms and start living with intention.

This is integration that feels real — where your energy returns, your vision sharpens, and your next steps become obvious.

Is This For You?

This is for the person who’s done some work — and is ready to feel it land.
It’s for the high-performer who’s tired of pushing.
The sensitive soul ready to get strategic.
The grounded one craving more energy.
The ambitious one ready for more alignment.

You’ll Leave With:

A recalibrated nervous system
Clearer direction in your personal and professional life
Tools for emotional regulation and resilience
A deeper understanding of your energetic patterns
A felt sense of what’s next
