Helping people slow down, reconnect and reset through retreats, workshops and wellness experiences 🌿

NOURISH TO FLOURISH. 🌿

It’s been my motto around food for a long time — and it’s exactly how I approach the food at our CTFD Retreats.

I’m not a qualified chef. 😂 I’m just someone who really bloody loves good food… and loves feeding people. You could say it’s my love language! 🫶

For me, retreat food should be part of the experience.

Fresh. Colourful. Nourishing. Generous. And most importantly — actually enjoyable to eat.

Everything I prepare for our retreat is gluten and dairy free, using fresh, quality ingredients wherever possible, with plenty of protein, healthy fats, wholefood carbohydrates, fruit, vegetables and all the good stuff your body needs.

But this is Calm the F Down, not Come Away for the Weekend and Live on Lettuce. 😂

So there are always a few sneaky healthier treats thrown in too.

Because nourishing yourself isn’t about restriction.

It’s about giving your body what it needs and actually enjoying the food.

And perhaps one of the nicest parts?

You don’t have to think about any of it.

No meal planning.
No grocery shopping.
No cooking for everyone else.

You sit down. Someone puts beautiful food in front of you. You eat.

That’s it. 🙌

Because for this weekend, you’re the one being looked after. 💛

Can’t get away for the whole weekend? Come for the day. 🌿

Kids. Work. Family. Pets. Life.

We know disappearing for an entire weekend isn’t possible for everyone.

So you don’t have to.

Our Calm the F*ck Down Day Retreat gives you the heart of our retreat experience in one beautiful day at Platypus Bush Camp.

And we chose Saturday for our Day Retreat for a reason.

Saturday is where the heart of the CTFD experience happens. It’s our biggest day — where we dive into the workshops, practical tools, movement, breathwork, connection and experiences designed to give you something meaningful to actually take home with you.

For our overnight guests, Sunday is intentionally slower — a chance to reflect, revisit and process everything from the day before, and gently bring the weekend to a close.

So if you join us just for the day, you’re not getting some watered-down version of the retreat.

You’re joining us for the heart of it. 💛

We’ll pick you up in Mackay in the morning, take you out to the rainforest and bring you home again that afternoon.

And in between?

You get to stop.

Eat beautiful food you didn’t prepare. Move your body. Breathe. Learn. Laugh. Connect.

Wander down to the creek. Find somewhere quiet. Have a conversation with someone new. Or do absolutely bloody nothing for a while if that’s what you need.

Your transport is organised.
Your meals are organised.
Your day is organised.

You just have to show up. 💛

🌿 Saturday October 10
🚌 Approx. 8am–5pm from Mackay
🍴 Meals included
💛 Full Saturday Day Retreat experience
🎟️ $499 per person

Maybe you don’t need a whole weekend away to realise just how badly you needed a break.

Slow Down. Reconnect. Reset.

A month from now… 🌿

You’ll wake up surrounded by rainforest.

There’ll be nowhere you need to rush off to. Nobody waiting for you to organise breakfast. No washing staring at you. No list of jobs you really should be doing.

You’ll eat beautiful food you didn’t have to prepare.

You’ll move your body. Breathe. Learn. Talk. Laugh.

Maybe you’ll wander down to the creek.

Maybe you’ll find a hammock and disappear for an hour.

Maybe you’ll have one of those conversations with a woman you barely knew yesterday that somehow feels like you’ve known each other for years.

And maybe you’ll realise just how long it’s been since you actually stopped.

That’s what we’re creating.

Not a weekend packed from morning until night with things you have to do.

Space.

To slow down.
To reconnect.
To reset.

To Calm the F*ck Down. 💛

🌿 October 10–11

🌿 WHERE WILL YOU BE STAYING?

One of the things we love about Platypus Bush Camp is that there are no rows of identical rooms.

Every little space has its own personality — tucked amongst the rainforest, surrounded by trees, creeks and the sounds of nature.

And two of our accommodation options have already found their people. 💛

🌿 Honeymoon Hut — SOLD OUT
🌿 Creekside Hut — SOLD OUT
🌿 Treehouse Retreat — 2 available
🌿 Share Hut — 4 single beds available
🌿 Forrest Vans — 3 available, including 2 self-contained options

Whichever space you choose, your overnight ticket includes the same complete Calm the F Down Retreat experience. Your ticket price simply reflects the accommodation you choose.

Overnight experiences start from $899.

And because life threw us a bit of a curveball last week and we weren’t able to share everything we had planned, we’ve decided to EXTEND OUR EARLY BIRD OFFER. 🙌🌿

Book during our extended Early Bird and your Friday Early Arrival is FREE — including your extra night’s accommodation, Friday dinner and Saturday breakfast.

Come out Friday afternoon, unpack, find a hammock, wander down to the creek and start switching off before the retreat has even officially begun.

And if you can’t make Friday? That’s completely okay. The official retreat program runs October 10–11, so you won’t miss a thing.

This isn’t about squeezing as much as possible into a weekend.

It’s about finally having nowhere else you need to be. 💛

So… what do we actually DO at a Calm the F*ck Down Retreat? 🌿

Yes, there’s yoga.
Yes, there’s meditation and breathwork.
Yes, there are workshops and meaningful conversations.

But there’s also…

Swimming in the creek.
Eating beautiful food you didn’t have to cook.
Laughing with women you only met that morning.
Wandering off to find a hammock.
Sitting quietly in the rainforest.
Conversations that happen completely unexpectedly.
And sometimes… doing absolutely bloody nothing. 😂

Because this weekend isn’t about giving you another schedule to keep up with.

It’s about creating the space to slow down enough to actually hear yourself think again.

Participate. Rest. Explore. Connect.

You get to choose what you need. 💛

“But what if I don’t know anyone?”

“What if it’s awkward?”

“What if this whole retreat thing just isn’t really… me?”

We get it. 💛

Coming away for a weekend with a group of women you may have never met before can feel a little daunting.

In fact, one of our guests from our May retreat told us she arrived feeling excited, but also “a bit trepidatious about what it would actually be like.”

And she left feeling clear and appreciative of the opportunity.

When we asked what she enjoyed most?

“All of it!” 🥹

She also told us that disconnecting from devices, being present in the moment, and seeing everyone’s openness and vulnerability were the things that really stayed with her.

And THAT is what CTFD is about.

You don’t need to arrive knowing anyone.

You don’t need to be good at yoga.

You don’t need to be “spiritual”.

You don’t need to share anything you don’t want to share.

You just need to come as you are. 🌿

We’ll take care of the rest.

🌿 Welcome to Calm the F*ck Down Retreats 🌿

Hey, we're so glad you're here. 🤍

If you've found your way to this page, chances are you're looking for an opportunity to slow down, take a breath and reconnect with yourself.

In a world that constantly tells us to do more, be more and keep pushing, it's easy to find ourselves running on empty. Between work, family, relationships, responsibilities and the never-ending to-do lists, many of us spend so much time looking after everyone else that we forget to look after ourselves.

That's where Calm the F*ck Down Retreats comes in.

We create retreats, workshops and wellness experiences designed to help you step away from the noise, reconnect with what matters and return home feeling calmer, clearer and more grounded.

Expect meaningful conversations, practical wellbeing tools, movement, mindfulness, laughter, connection, good food, beautiful natural surroundings and the opportunity to simply be.

No pressure.
No judgement.
No expectation to have it all together.

Just real people creating space to slow down, reconnect and reset.

Whether you're joining us for a day workshop, a weekend retreat or one of our future experiences, our mission remains the same:

✨ To help you slow down, reconnect and reset.

And essentially...

Calm the F*ck Down. 😉

We're excited to have you here and can't wait to share this journey with you.

🤍 Erin & Kylee

🌿 Slow Down. Reconnect. Reset.
