A seven-bedroom retreat house for up to twenty guests on five and a half acres of orchard near the Moore River estuary, fifty minutes north of the city. Groups take the whole property — two lounges, meditation spaces, a games room, fireplace — with an eight-metre air-conditioned yurt for yoga, meditation, breathwork and sound. Facilitators hire it for weekend retreats and the house hosts its own calendar of events; the downstairs layout is step-free.
Belinda guides forest bathing (shinrin-yoku) walks in bushland and gardens within about an hour of the Perth CBD, and also works in the South West. Walks are deliberately slow — roughly 2km over two to three hours, with long pauses for stillness and sensory exercises rather than distance covered. Nature journaling, workshops and workplace sessions are also offered.
A Perth women's community running retreats since 2012, best known for the Wild Woman Weekend — four days and three nights of ceremony, dance, workshops and singing in bushland at the foot of the Darling Scarp in Serpentine. Facilitators Tracy McFie and Larissa O'Neill have held the weekend for thirteen years. Fully catered with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options; $1,666 all-inclusive, alongside mentoring and smaller gatherings through the year.
A day retreat and a bushwalk are both on this page, and the difference between them is mostly how much of your day is planned for you.
Day retreats run four to eight hours in one place, usually with food, and combine two or three of movement, sitting, sound and rest. Weekend retreats add accommodation and a second morning, which is where most of the value is. Guided walks and forest bathing sessions are shorter and cheaper and generally ask nothing of your fitness beyond being able to walk for an hour or two. Surf and ocean sessions are the ones with actual conditions attached, and they get moved.
On practicalities: retreats book out further ahead than anything else in the directory, and the small ones fill first because they are small. Read what is included before comparing prices — accommodation, meals and transfers move the number a long way. For anything outdoors in Perth, check the forecast and the fire danger rating the day before, and expect a change of plan in summer.

Sound baths in the hills above Armadale — fortnightly Sunday sonic immersions plus sunset, full-moon and cacao-ceremony sessions, with mats, bolsters and blankets provided. The bush setting is half the experience, and a three-event pass suits people who want it as a regular reset rather than a one-off.
