MISSION BEACH YOGA & MINDFULNESS RETREAT
LET THE SUN SHINE IN
May 28 - June 3, 2023
“We respecifully acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of Djiru Country, their Elders past present and future and the fact that their rights to this country (where Sanctuary Retreat is located), were never ceded. We observe their ancient Cultural footprint in surrounding lands, seas and rivers”.
This is a very well organised retreat that everyone should experience in their lifetime. If you've had 20 years of yoga experience or less than a month like me, the leaders cater for all. The beautiful combination of yoga from Tim and the meditation run by Anna is truly life changing. I began my journey on this retreat and I now have the tools and confidence to continue my path
THE YOGA & MINDFULNESS
Tim and Anna share a love of people, culture and nature and have a long history of leading retreats. From the beaches of Bali to the foothills of the Himalayas, they have helped people gain a greater sense of their own potential and innate strength and to experience the profound joy that comes with a deeper connection to the world.

Whether you are new to yoga, have physical restrictions or have been practicing for many years, Tim will support and challenge you, as you gain greater insight into the nature of your being. Physically, mentally and emotionally you will leave his sessions feeling stronger, steadier and more resilient.
About Anna

THE FOOD
The menu will be deliciously nutitious, entirely vegetarian and utilise locally grown fresh foods. Your taste buds will be tingling with delight from breakfast, lunch through afternoon tea to dinner time. Herbal teas, excellent coffee and fruit will be available all day.
FLIGHT CONNECTION / TRANSFER / GETTING AROUND
Included in your ticket is a return shuttle transfer between Cairns airport or a hotel (yet to be advised) in Cairns CBD and the retreat centre in Mission Beach. To utilse this shuttle service to the retreat centre you will need to book a flight that arrives before 1.30pm on 28/5/23. To utilise this shuttle returning to Cairns airport or your hotel in Cairns CBD you will need to book a flight that departs after 2pm on 3/6/23. If travelling outside of these times you will be responsible to arrange your own transport.
The terrain around Sanctuary retreat is quite hilly and steep, not accessible by regular vehicles. A 4WD transfer is included in your booking to carry you and your luggage on arrival and departure from the carpark to the retreat centre (this is otherwise a 10 minute walk with a light pack). As a courtesy for orienting you to the place, this Sanctuary vehicle offers return transfer to Mission Beach on the day after check-in and another trip during the week. If you would like to explore the local environs beyond the retreat centre at other times during your stay, this can be arranged for a small cost.
THE ACTIVITIES
For those who are interested, an afternon trip is offered to Dunk Island for walking, swimming and snorkelling. A small cost is required to cover the return boat trip. Other activities include swimming in the pool, exploring the extensive grounds and a fairly vigorous yet beautiful walk to swim at Brookes Beach.THE COST
