RETREAT SOLD OUT - APOLOGIES FOR ANY DISAPPOINTMENT
THEME
Join Amanda at The Ridge at Maleny for a deep exploration of the human body as a microcosm of the macrocosm, and a celebration of your true nature as a spark of divinity. This immersive retreat will introduce you to some of the key concepts of Tantric philosophy and metaphysics at the heart of Amanda’s teachings. According to Tantra everything in the relative world is an expression or embodiment of Supreme Consciousness. The essence of everything in life is Divine, therefore WE are Divine. Out of ignorance we continually look for happiness outside of ourselves, but Tantra teaches us to discover the joy within. In this highly accessible and body-positive philosophy, yoga asana, pranayama and meditation practices help us to enhance and reveal the beauty and divine qualities already present in ourselves. Our search for external emotional nourishment winds down, and we develop a deep sense of contentment with this cosmic existence.
LOCATION
Nestled amongst 300 acres of pristine Sunshine Coast hinterland, The Ridge at Maleny enjoys breath-taking views across the valley to the Conondale Ranges to the north and the Glasshouse Mountains to the south. With its private, secluded location, unique and beautiful natural environment and fresh mountain air, The Ridge at Maleny offers a serene and spectacular environment for our retreat. There are plenty of walking tracks on the property including a reasonably challenging trail down to 1.6km of Mary River frontage at the base of the valley.
ACCOMMODATION
The Ridge at Maleny is the Hinterland’s newest, luxury, boutique development of contemporary Scandinavian inspired 1, 2 & 3 bedroom mountain villas and cabins. Architecturally designed and luxuriously appointed, the cabins are perched high on the ridge with breath-taking views across the valley. Stylish interiors with a seductive mix of timber and stone finishes in earthy tones complement the natural beauty of the surrounding views. Each cabin is self-contained & air-conditioned with a fully equipped kitchen (including coffee machine), wood burning stove, free WiFi, smart TV, large private deck with outdoor setting, and ensuite bathroom/s.
ABOUT THE FOOD
Our retreat is fully catered (breakfast, lunch & dinner including desert) with mouth-watering, nourishing, plant based food by ‘The Awakened Plant Chef’, Lucy Braithwaite. View a sample menu here. All meals will be completely vegan and incredibly tasty and satisfying, but rest assured the cabins all have a fully equipped kitchen with Nespresso coffee machine to satisfy caffeine and snack cravings.
