Authenticity

Authenticity is the core of living a life true to ourselves.

It involves understanding who we are, accepting and nurturing our innate qualities, and acknowledging and living our personal truths

To rediscover our authenticity, we must fully accept and embrace who we are.

Many spiritual traditions say that the journey from the head to the heart is the longest journey we will ever take.

It is a transformative journey where we must move away from only orienting ourselves through the ego and the mind and find our way to back to our heart and soul.

RETREATS

JOIN US AN UPCOMING RETREAT

We curate small-group transformational retreats and events both in Australia and overseas. We provide the perfect space to give you the opportunity to break free of routines and demands of everyday life to rest, recharge and  invest in your future self.

All our programmes offer optional daily movement, yoga, meditation/mindfulness practices, nature connection time, deep transformational processes, beautiful accommodation and nourishing food prepared by our private chefs. Coupled with the company of a small cohort of like-minded participants, the stage is set for reflection, clarity and the inspiration to become the best version of yourself.

Reviews from Previous Retreat Attendees

I emerged from the retreat not only invigorated but also enlightened—a renewed commitment to live authentically and purposefully. Karen and Todd have created an exceptional retreat that skilfully intertwines physical well-being with spiritual depth.

This experience has ignited a profound shift within me.

Belinda Kilov

This retreat held so many highlights for me. How it flowed, and how heartfelt the teachings from Karen and Todd were.

Extremely insightful and well put-together. I couldn’t recommend this event more highly.!

Ryan Butler

The retreat really helped me emotionally and mentally, I loved the bond of the group and the way Karen and Todd guided us throughout the retreat to achieve a happy and more meaningful purpose to our everyday life.

It truly was an amazing experience!

Susie Bobberman

“Karen and Todd are very engaging, insightful and caring and their attention to detail and preparation was second to none in all the activities that were part of the retreat.

They create a space where each person feels safe and nurtured and can open up and connect with others and yet also be on their own unique journey without pressure or judgement. I highly recommend working with them and participating in their retreats and programs.”

Nicola Walsh

Sunshine Coast

“The mission I am called to serve has been a long and challenging path of creativity and self-discovery that continues to stretch and shape me in formidable ways.

Karen’s astute yet supportive presence and gentle guidance have been invaluable in this journey. During our work together I have found her to be a tremendous ally.

She asks the right questions, not always the most comfortable or easy ones, but ones that have me exploring my mission more deeply. She holds the space for me to process whatever might be in the way of what I am moving towards, in a highly intelligent, compassionate and loving way. I always emerge from our sessions with a deeper soul connection, greater clarity and increasingly empowered to take my mission to the next level.

Victoria Wilding

Speaker,International Mentor

“I consider Todd to be one of the most influential people in my life, both personally and professionally.

For over ten years I have sought him out in various roles – boss, mentor, coach.

He has a unique ability to cut through to the core of an issue, and his unique blend of humour, empathy and optimism hold space for the sometimes tough work of navigating the world.”

The Authentic Life Retreat

Our signature retreat will give you time for rest, reflection and self care, and also take you on a journey of self discovery.  Daily workshops, transformational mindset processes and soul connection practices will awaken you to your true self.

You will get expert support and guidance to finally break free of limiting beliefs and old stories and find a new path for living a life of authenticity and flow.

Pilgrimage Retreats

Journeying through ancient landscapes steeped in history, tradition and spirituality, our small-group Camino or Pilgrimage retreats are a journey both within and without.



These specialist small-group tours require physical fitness and open hearts and are often a major ‘bucket list’ item for participants.

Healing Retreats

Learn the foundations of health and explore the meaning of illness and your personal health journey and understand the connection between body, mind and spirit.  Healing is a unique journey.

Together we will discover what you need to have the breakthrough, healing or transformation you are seeking, no matter where you are at on your journey. 

The Awakening Woman

Join together with a small group of like-minded women for a truly life changing and memorable experience.

Whether you are just starting out in the early stages of peri-menopause or you are already navigating the post menopausal period, this is the perfect opportunity to dive into this powerful passage and make it a natural, healthy and liberating experience.
