Rest and Restore Kinglake Weekend Retreat
A Weekend of genuine rest in the Kinglake Ranges.
Just over an hour from Melbourne, tucked into 50 acres of open fields and native bushland, this is a weekend built around one simple idea: real rest surrounded by trees, wildlife and space, with nowhere else you need to be.
You’ll practice gentle Embodied Yoga each morning with your host Ellen, looking out over the bush, with movement adapted to your body rather than the other way around. In the evenings slow right down with Restorative Somatic Rest and Sound Healing, settling into bolsters and blankets and giving yourself permission to simply be.
Between sessions there’s plenty of space to swim in the solar-heated pool, walk the private bush tracks, curl up in the library, or do nothing at all.
All plant-based meals are provided and lovingly cooked by co-host Ede. Ellen and Ede love holding space for people to gather around a table, eat delicious food and have real conversations.
You’ll leave with more than memories of a lovely weekend away. You’ll leave with a little more awareness of what your body actually needs, and the practices to bring that awareness home with you.
Eildon Easter Twilight Market
The Eildon Easter Twilight Market hosts a great variety of local food and beverage trucks, as well as local producers with a wide array of goods to try or buy. This will showcase the abundance of quality local artisans, artists and creators. There will be live music showcasing local youth and artists.
The afternoon starts with their youth lineup from Paul Ray Music Group. Followed by the sensational Herberts – not to be missed.
There will be many extra family-friendly activities. An Easter bonnet parade will be lots of fun for all ages. There are prizes for the best creations. Make it at home, or create it on site at the Easter bonnet stall. Free Easter Eggs will be given out.
Bring along your picnic blanket or chairs and relax, enjoy great music, food and drinks on the beautiful banks of the Eildon Pondage. A great family day out, all for a gold coin donation. This is a pet friendly event and dogs must be on a lead at all times.
