Veyda Retreats, Gatton (2026)

As this retreat continues to come together, I keep finding myself saying the same thing...

This is unlike anything I've ever created before.

What started as a simple retreat has evolved into something truly special.

A gathering of incredible facilitators, each bringing their own unique gifts, wisdom, and experiences to create something far greater than any one person could offer alone.

And that's how the name UNTANGLE was born.

Because so many of us spend our lives carrying things we don't even realise we're holding.

Stress.

Pressure.

Expectations.

Old stories.

Responsibilities.

The constant noise of everyday life.

We become tangled in who we think we need to be and slowly lose connection to who we really are.

UNTANGLE is an invitation to pause.

To unravel what no longer belongs.

To release what you've been carrying.

To remember what it feels like to breathe deeply, move freely, laugh often, rest completely, and reconnect with yourself.

Over four nights in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, you'll experience an extraordinary combination of modalities, nourishing food, nature, sauna, pool time, connection, and so much more.

No cooking.
No cleaning.
No rushing.

Just space to be held, supported, and guided by a team of facilitators who genuinely care.

This retreat is also incredibly close to my heart because after more than 10 years of running retreats, it will be my final one.

I couldn't think of a more beautiful way to close this chapter.

There are now only a few places remaining.

If you've been watching from the sidelines, wondering if you should come, this is my official invitation.

Come untangle

Meet Your Retreat Facilitators....

Emma — Mindful Art & Sound Integration

Create. Slow down. Let it land.

With Emma, you’ll be guided through a mindful art experience where the focus isn’t on the outcome, but on the process… allowing you to drop into flow, quiet the mind, and reconnect with the present moment. This will gently transition into a deeply restorative sound journey, helping you integrate the experience on a whole-body level.

Emma’s work is rooted in lived experience. After navigating breast cancer, she was drawn into a deeper exploration of mindfulness, presence, and the healing power of sound. Today, she facilitates wellbeing programs across schools, aged care, and community spaces, creating environments where people feel safe, supported, and able to reconnect.

A certified Sound and Reiki practitioner and mother of two, Emma brings a nurturing, grounded presence to her sessions… holding space in a way that feels both gentle and deeply supportive.

Meet your Facilitators for our next Retreat!

Keith — TRE & Neurogenic Movement

Shake. Release. Reset.

Throughout the retreat, you’ll have the opportunity to experience TRE (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) — a powerful, body-based practice that allows your nervous system to release stored stress, tension, and emotion through its natural shaking response.

Rather than something you do, TRE is something your body already knows. A built-in mechanism that helps unwind what’s been held beneath the surface, creating a deep sense of calm, safety, and regulation. With multiple sessions across the retreat, you’ll not only experience this release in real time, but learn a tool you can take home and return to whenever your body needs it.

Keith brings a grounded, real, and deeply relatable presence. After discovering yoga, breathwork, and neurogenic movement later in life, his path has been one of genuine self-inquiry and transformation. His work is simple, accessible, and powerful — guiding you back to the innate intelligence of your own body.

Meet your Facilitator for our October Retreat

Tina — Cacao & Chocolate Experiences

With Tina, cacao becomes something you don’t just drink… you experience it.

Across the retreat, you’ll sip it, eat it, explore it, and play with it. From bean-to-bar creation to rich, sensory tastings that awaken your taste buds and bring you right into the moment.

Tina has spent time in Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, learning directly from cacao-growing communities and deepening her connection to the land, the process, and the people behind every bean. She brings this depth of respect and passion into every experience she shares.

A bodyworker and psychosomatic therapist, Tina weaves cacao into her work as a gentle yet powerful tool for connection, awareness, and transformation.

Tanya — Traditional Breathwork & Cultural Connection

Tanya is a proud Bigambul woman, deeply connected to her culture, community, and the wisdom of her ancestors. She is passionate about sharing practices that honour self-awareness, authenticity, healing, and personal power.

Something that I shared on my personal page a few weeks ago.....
And I'd love to share it with you all too....

After more than 10 years of running retreats, I’ve made the decision that this next one will be my last.

Even writing that feels big.

This work has been such a huge part of my life. The spaces, the people, the moments… it’s been one of the greatest joys of my life.
And also, the past year has changed me.

I hit a level of burnout that I couldn’t ignore, (not from retreats but from working for someone else) and had some experiences that really challenged me and shifted how I want to live and work moving forward.

It’s been hard, but it’s also brought a lot of clarity.

So this feels like a closing. Because closing doors, no matter how hard it is, is really whats needed in order to find the new path forward.

And if I’m honest… I want to close it in the most beautiful way possible..

This retreat is that.

A new venue.... Four nights in the Sunshine Coast hinterland.

A full team of incredible facilitators bringing experiences I’ve never offered before.

Chocolate making from bean to bar!!

Daily TRE sessions to release what’s been held in the body.

Traditional breathwork rooted in Indigenous teachings.

Mindful art and sound journeys.

And so much more woven through the days.

You’ll be completely taken care of. No cooking, no cleaning.

And the food… honestly, people come back to my retreats just for the food. The best caterers in the industry!.

I’ve priced this retreat low!..... because I want to be accessible for as many people as possible!

If you’ve ever felt the pull to come to one of my retreats… this is the one.

Not just another retreat.

The final one.

A chance to be part of something really special, and to close this chapter with me.

There are only a handful of spots left.
If you feel it, you’ll know.

Reach out and I can share more with you.....

We’re excited to announce the Facilitation Frequency Retreat, a 4-night immersive training taking place in the beautiful Sunshine Coast Hinterland this October.

This retreat has been designed for people who bring others together and want to create experiences that are meaningful, structured, and deeply impactful.

While many participants work in modalities such as yoga, breathwork, sound, or coaching, the training is relevant for anyone who holds space for groups across wellness, education, leadership, business, or community settings.

Facilitation Frequency focuses on the art of guiding powerful experiences. Rather than simply learning more techniques, participants develop the skills to confidently design and deliver workshops, circles, and retreats that feel cohesive, intentional, and professionally facilitated.

Over five days, participants will explore practical frameworks for structuring group experiences, practice facilitation in a supportive environment, and gain tools they can immediately apply to their own work.

The retreat includes facilitator training, accommodation, nourishing meals, and access to the Facilitation Frequency resource hub, along with ongoing tools and templates to support future events.

Spaces are limited to keep the experience intimate and hands-on.

Many facilitators feel drawn to cacao...

It's such a beautiful component to use to open the heart and connect to intention..... however... not every facilitator wants to do a full in depth Cacao training.....

In Facilitation Frequency, cacao is taught as...

a ceremonial support
an aid for intention setting
a way to help people open and receive

You learn:

how to prepare it for groups, and your personal daily ritual
how to weave it into an event
how to hold that part of the ceremony confidently

It’s a way to honour the medicine, use it as an addition to your offerings...
A long with learning how to guide the breath and structure you events, all in one 2 day training.

Next training is in M a r c h !

Stop collecting tools!
Start refining how you use them!

You can know breathwork.

You can know cacao.

You can know sound, movement, trauma theory, nervous system science.

But if you don’t know how to structure a room…
how to regulate a group…
how to pivot when energy shifts…
how to land an experience so it integrates…

People feel it.

And they don’t come back.

For the past 9 years, I’ve run consistently sold-out events.

Around 70 - 80% of my clients rebook.

Not because I’m the loudest.
Not because I “market harder.”
Not because I promise big breakthroughs.

But because the room feels safe.

The experience flows.

The message lands.

And people leave feeling complete — not cracked open and confused.

Facilitation is leadership.

It’s nervous system awareness.
It’s rhythm.
It’s presence.
It’s knowing when to pivot and when to hold.
It’s a craft.

And most of us were never actually taught it.

If you’re a facilitator who loves your modality but secretly knows your structure, delivery, or confidence could be stronger… you’re not alone.

And you don’t need another certification.

You need facilitation skill.

If this hits, tell me — what’s the hardest part of running your events right now?

I’m running a 2-day immersion called Facilitation Frequency.

It’s where I teach the actual craft of holding space — structure, rhythm, nervous system safety, pivoting, integration — not just modality.

Comment “FACILITATE” and I’ll send you the details.
