CONNECT.MOVE.CREATE DAY RETREATS - NORTHERN RIVERS
A one-day immersion to awaken what lies within.The Connect • Move • Create Day Retreat is a nourishing experience designed to take you deep into the inner world—to reconnect with your breath, your body, and the creativity that lives beneath the surface.
These retreats are open to both men and women, offering a shared space for self-exploration, healing, and expression. Dedicated men’s day retreats will also be launching soon.
When we slow down and breathe consciously, we awaken the parts of us that have long been dormant: love, passion, inspiration, expression. This retreat is your space to remember who you are beneath the noise and rediscover the inherent beauty of your being.
Held monthly at Rise Temple, each retreat brings together sacred stillness, embodied movement, and creative exploration. You’ll leave feeling more connected, more alive, and more you.
YOUR DAY OF CONNECTION, MOVEMENT & CREATION
Each part of this retreat has been lovingly curated to guide you deeper into presence, expression, and embodiment. With only 10 spots available, this intimate experience ensures personalised care and a deeply held container for every woman who attends.
From guided breathwork to creative movement and sacred art, this is a journey inward—anchored in stillness and breath, and designed to awaken the beauty within. You’ll be invited to walk the serene grounds in silence, rest by the dam with its gentle running water, and soak in the sacredness of the land that holds this experience. This is not just a retreat—it is a homecoming.

She Rises Within – A 40-minute breath-led journey into feminine embodiment, ancestral remembrance, and creative awakening
This signature movement practice is a powerful invitation to return to the body through breath and rhythm. Guided by soft tribal and ancestral sounds, we blend intuitive movement with gentle, heart-led choreography—awakening the strength, softness, and stillness of the feminine within.
Rooted in Amanda’s heritage of Antigua, Jamaica, and deep African lineage, this offering invites you to remember who you are beneath the noise. It’s a space to embody the pulse of your breath, your story, and your soul—free from judgement or expectation.
Still. Powerful. Breath-led. A sacred feminine reclamation through movement.
