MASSAGE YOGA LOVE
Your retreat includes. Daily yoga, Massoga® massage yoga, meditation, breathwork, hiking, walks, nourishing meals, time by the pool or on the beach, optional private massage or yoga, and plenty of free time to explore the tropical island lifestyle. Some retreats are themed and have guest facilitators so there will be additional workshops for a deep dive into the theme. Your senses will be enlivened on retreat with essential oils, nurturing touch and soothing music, you will be immersed in the experience of deep relaxation and reconnection.
We recommend Massogis arrive on retreat completely relaxed and ready to slow down and accept what comes. Consider arriving a day early to settle in.
We also know it's nice to have some idea of what to expect, so here's a sample schedule to get you in the mood for some magnetic Massoga® massage yoga magic.

Magnetic Island - or Maggi as it’s affectionately known to locals - is one of Australia’s hidden, untouched gems. A short ferry ride from Townsville, the relaxation starts as soon as you step foot in the terminal. If you’re a local, you know exactly what to expect. If you’re making the trek from other parts of Australia, it’s well worth it. Enjoy warm, tropical days for this nourishing retreat experience.

DIGITAL FREE
Your retreat can also be a digital free zone. By request, we will look after your phone for the week, with a daily 1 hour opportunity to check in with loved on if you choose. Previous guests found this was the perfect way to completely switch off, and some even continued to allocate 'digital detoxes' into their daily life!
GETTING THERE
Your return ferry ticket to the Island is included in your package, so you just need to make your way to Townsville. Jetstar have direct flights from Melbourne and often have sales - keep an eye out for Friday Fare Frenzy, every Friday between 4-8pm. You could get one as low as $111! This flight lands around 7.30pm, so we recommend flying in a night or two before and hoping straight on a ferry to Magnetic Island and let yourself decompress before commencing retreat. Official retreat activities begin on Monday afternoon so you will have plenty of time to settle in.
Virgin and Qantas fly to Townsville via Brisbane or Sydney, so it's a longer trip and often more expensive. However, the option is there if you'd prefer to fly in on the day and head straight to the retreat. Locals, you know exactly where you're headed!
OPTIONS FOR THE BUDGET CONSCIOUS TRAVELLER
Retreat time is essential to come home to yourself, for it is almost impossible to do within the confines of your regular life when you are not practiced at it.
We have an offer available this year for those who do not desire luxury but value time for self discovery and growth in a retreat environment.

"I am infinitely grateful to Wallis and her Massoga® crew for taking such good care of me on retreat. I stepped out of the linear time of the working world into the timelessness of self, connection with others and ancient practice."
