WHAT TO EXPECT
BENEFITS OF EXERCISE​
​
When you exercise, your body releases chemicals such as dopamine and endorphins in your brain that make you feel happy. Not only is your brain dumping out feel-good chemicals, but exercise also helps your brain get rid of chemicals that make you feel stressed and anxious. The retreat will be focused primarily on hiking and stand up paddle boarding activities when not in camp. All of which will improve circulation, endurance and stamina whilst helping to destress. The retreat is also designed to push the body in gentle but physically demanding spaces. We believe that in these slightly difficult spaces there is great learning and growth to be had, especially when supported by a team or crew sharing that experience. Deep bonds and long lasting friendships are forged when sharing these experiences. Expect lightly challenging, well curated outdoor activities, designed to unlock this magic with the golden key that can only be accessed when digging a little deeper.

MEDITATION​
​
Meditation is a powerful tool in the pursuit of calm and serenity, especially when practiced in nature. Our daily meditation sessions, held after sunrise yoga, help to rid the mind and body of unwanted tension and stress. These gentle, guided sessions are designed for all levels, benefiting both first-timers and frequent practitioners alike. Experience the profound health benefits of nature meditation, enhancing your overall well-being and fostering a deep sense of peace and relaxation.
YOGA​
​
Multiple studies have shown that yoga decreases the secretion of cortisol, the primary stress hormone in the body. At our retreat, enjoy a daily sunrise yoga session focused on a traditional, gentle style of Hatha yoga in the tranquility of nature. These classes cater to all levels, welcoming both novices and experienced practitioners. Practicing yoga in nature not only reduces stress but also lengthens muscles, increases flexibility, and enhances joint mobility—benefits that are especially valuable as we age. Join us to experience the holistic health benefits of yoga in a serene natural setting.
NATURE IMMERSION​
​
In our modern lives, we're often stuck indoors behind screens, but being immersed in nature offers profound health benefits. Exposure to nature reduces anger, fear, and stress while increasing positive feelings and emotional well-being. It also contributes to physical well-being by lowering blood pressure, heart rate, muscle tension, and stress hormone production. Embrace the rejuvenating power of nature to feel better emotionally and physically, enhancing your overall health and happiness.
CIRCADIAN RHYTHM​
​
Circadian rhythm is a natural, internal process that regulates the sleep-wake cycle, repeating every 24 hours. At our retreat, we aim to reset your internal circadian clock by rising with the sun and promoting restorative sleep shortly after mealtime and sundown. This opportunity allows you to eliminate modern lifestyle pollutants and let your body return to its natural cycle. Enjoy long, deep sleep cycles brought on by physically demanding, highly oxygenated, adventure-filled days in the mountains. Embrace the health benefits of a balanced circadian rhythm for optimal well-being.
COMMUNITY​
​
Lifelong friendships and bonds are forged in this retreat, where the power of community is celebrated. Sharing transformative experiences with like-minded people cultivates a sense of belonging and connection to a common cause. As we undertake the challenging physical elements of the retreat, we support each other, feeling held and guided through these experiences. This collective journey fosters immense growth and compassion. Expect to expand your community and friendship circle through this unique and transformational time in the wilderness.
MASSAGE​
​
After long, hard days on the trail, your body deserves rejuvenation. At Reboot, our exclusive offering of massage is the perfect way to recover and revitalize. These limited-time slots with our traveling massage therapist provide much-needed relief and relaxation amidst our adventure-filled and immersive healing days. Bookings can be made directly with the therapist on the retreat and paid for in cash. Outside of this premium service, the retreat is all-inclusive, ensuring you receive comprehensive care and holistic well-being. Experience the benefits of massage to enhance your retreat journey.
FOOD​
​​
We are as much what we eat as we are what we think. Feeding our minds and bodies with nutritional fuel is imperative when creating a balanced, harmonious system. Our meal plan has been specifically curated and designed to add the energy required to undertake the adventure elements of the retreat whilst being light on the system and our planet. Our Chef sources quality local ingredients with a strong emphasis on a plant based diet. However there will be organic, hormone free venison options for the body types that rely a little heavier on their protein. Expect a healthy, hearty, veggie driven experience sourced from locations close to home as we emphasise a low carbon footprint on the retreat.
SETTING INTENTIONS​
​​
Daily intention setting is a powerful way to clarify who you want to be (what you want to learn/experience), how you want to spend your time, and what you want to offer to the world. When we craft intentions, it helps us zero in on what we want more of in our life. Moreover, positive intentions can help us take action with self-compassion rather than the sense of pressure that goals create.
