CALM STAYS

Calm Stays are peaceful, minimum two-night sanctuary stays for individuals or couples who simply want quiet time away in nature.

These stays are not facilitated or tailored with breathwork — they are designed as a gentle, retreat-style accommodation where you can rest, unplug, and move at your own pace.

Calm Stays are ideal if you are seeking:

• Time away from everyday life
• A quiet place to reflect
• Nature immersion
• Sauna sessions
• Stillness and simplicity
• A non-facilitated retreat-style stay

This is similar to a retreat-style Airbnb experience — with soul.

**Please note that if you do decide that you would like to have a breathwork session whether private or with the weekly class, let me know at time of booking or once you arrive.

Investment only $144 per night with a 2 night stay minimum.

Kind Words…

  • “Rise Temple is such a peaceful retreat nestled in nature, with birdsong mornings and lush landscaping. The space was cosy, light filled, and thoughtfully designed. The bathroom is heavenly, with a fantastic view of the acreage from the shower! Amanda Jane is a beautiful spirit, very welcoming and a delight to chat with. I joined in on a weekend breathwork session at the property - it was such a safe space to the experience the journey from breath and very well guided. Would love to return to Amanda Jane’s santuary.
