Slowly walking beneath towering gums, breathing in their calming presence. Often paired with silent guided practices in the bush, forest bathing helps couples shed the noise of modern life and simply be.
Standing barefoot where the waves meet the shore, you release stress into the rhythm of the sea. These retreats blend yoga with walking and sitting in silence in nature, encouraging couples to listen deeply to the ebb and flow — of tides, and of each other.
Cool, flowing waters remind us that nothing is stagnant. Couples wade, sit, or float in rivers, practicing inner deep listening and learning to move in harmony with life’s currents.
Feel sunlight warming your skin and breezes brushing past you. These elemental retreats are less about activity, more about presence — inviting couples to deepen all of your senses in tune with nature.
To sit quietly and attune to birdsong is to hear joy itself. These retreats highlight how tuning into subtle sounds creates intimacy — with nature and between partners.
At night, the bush becomes an entirely different retreat space. Couples lie beneath vast skies, gazing into infinity, discovering awe and wonder together. As our retreat leader says, this is about oneness — with each other and with the cosmos.
Our retreat leader puts it best:
“I like the term forest bathing because it’s poetic. But I prefer to say re-earthing. Or just earthing. Or nature connection — body, mind, heart, soul, spirit.”
Through yoga, meditation, and silent guided practices at the beach or in the bush, couples return to a deeper awareness of the ground beneath their feet and the love that connects them.
Unlike larger wellness retreats in Australia, The Bower offers intimacy. With just five private Bowers on 100 acres of forest, every retreat is deeply personal. Couples often say that here they rediscover not only relaxation, but each other.
This is not escapism. It’s a return.
If you’ve been searching for wellness retreats in NSW that combine luxury, intimacy, and nature’s healing power, you’ll find it here. Our retreats are about creating space: space to breathe, to listen, and to reconnect with nature — and with each other.
"Come to your senses in the elegance of the bush".
