Retreats at Mission Beach, Yungaburra & Cairns

3 Day/4 Night Retreat @ Sanctuary, Mission Beach

Dive deeper into your reiki and meditation practice — in a beautiful rainforest hideaway @ Sanctuary, Mission Beach.

Do you need some downtime from an intense corporate job, or a quiet space to ground yourself away from all the noise?

Sanctuary is a stunning eco-lodge tucked away in the rainforest and is the perfect place to combine self-healing reiki, gentle yoga, mindful walks along a private beach, and enjoy delicious locally grown foods**.

The retreat will allow you to step away from your busy schedule for some self-care and grounding — which is so needed in these rapidly changing times. 

RETREAT DETAILS

We will be together for 3 days (and 4 nights) practising the Japanese esoteric meditations as a group. A gentle yoga class is included each morning and there is plenty of downtime to enjoy the beautiful rainforest trails, chill out in the lounge, swim in the pool, or mindfully wander Garner’s Beach.

On Sunday our check-out time is at 10am. So you’ll have time to visit Dunk Island or explore the Mission Beach coffee shops and surrounds, before taking a leisurely drive home.

• Meditation sessions (10am-11.30am) and (2.30pm-5pm) each day. Meditations are semi-guided and include chanting, walking and moving meditations.  
• Gentle yoga sessions (9am-10am) each day

ACCOMMODATION (WITH PRICING)

Choose your accommodation @ Sanctuary and take advantage of these great retreat-only prices. 

RAINFOREST HUTS (SIMPLE)

Simple rainforest huts are for the minimalist. You’ll sleep soundly in the rainforest in a beautiful rainforest hut with no solid walls. Instead the timber structure is screened on all four sides with weather proof curtains able to be drawn for privacy and protection from adverse weather. Each hut has a small verandah, lights, fans, drinking water, and simple furnishings.

(No bathroom. Hot showers, toilets, charging points are available in the main building.)

Double bed: $680

RAINFOREST HUTS (ALFRESCO ENSUITE)

If you like to be a bit closer to the toilet — but still want the full outdoor experience — request a rainforest hut with an alfresco ensuite. You’ll have everything in the simple hut plus an alfresco ensuite with cold shower, running water, a basin, and outdoor toilet.

(Hot showers and charging points are available in the main building.)

Twin-share: $590 per person (available for friends & family members)

Single: $780 

DELUXE CANOPY CABINS 

For those wanting a solid room — with ample screen glass windows — the canopy cabins offer maximum protection from the elements, while still offering a close connection to the sights and sounds of the forest.

Larger than the rainforest huts, these cabins are stylishly appointed with polished wooden floors, handmade natural timber furniture and spectacular glass-walled bathrooms looking out high in the trees.

The deluxe canopy cabins have private verandahs, mini bar fridge, charging outlets, beautiful ensuite with glass-walled shower.

Twin share: $750 pp (available for friends & family members)

Single: $1,025
