Burned Out &
Overwhelmed?
Life can be demanding, leaving you feeling stressed, tired and depleted. This retreat is a chance to escape the hustle and bustle of the daily grind, and take the time and space to just BE.
Yearning for connection & community?
Do you feel isolated or disconnected from yourself, and others? This retreat fosters a welcoming and loving sense of community, where guests can bond over shared experiences and support each other’s healing, wellness and life journeys.
“We acknowledge and honour the challenges you face, and we want you to know - you are not alone. “
We hear you, we see you, and together, we’ll create a beautiful space where healing will unfold. I believe that when people gather to heal, magic happens. By joining us, you’ll experience the beautiful power of community and the life-changing practices of Spinal Flow, Hypno-sound, Meditation, Breathwork, and sound healing. Allow yourself to surrender and trust, to rest, and to rediscover the inner light that has always been within you.

Introducing…
MEET OUR RETREAT HOST
Karon Tuhaka
Hello and welcome to my Seed to Soul retreat! I’m Karon, your host for this retreat. I’m a spinal flow technique practitioner of 4 years, with my beautiful beachside healing studio, Saltwater Spinal Flow based in Miami on the Gold Coast.
These retreats are born from my belief that every person deserves a space where they feel safe to let go, reconnect, and rediscover their vibrant self. My heart lights up when I witness the incredible transformation that happens through Spinal Flow - a gentle, nurturing practice that taps into your body’s natural wisdom to heal itself. Seeing someone reconnect with their authentic self is one of the most beautiful experiences I’ve ever known.
I believe my purpose in this life is to guide others on their healing journey, empowering them to step fully into lives of greater health, vitality, and joy. I’d be honoured to welcome you to this sacred space, where transformation is waiting for you. Let’s take this journey together.

A peaceful sanctuary is waiting for you, no matter what your budget is. 🛏️✨
🌿Hypno-Sound Sessions🌿
Immerse yourself in the peaceful flow of Hypnotic meditation with sound healing using singing bowls. Together, they support deep relaxation of the nervous system and open up the subconscious mind for gentle transformation and rewiring. You don’t need to feel “hypnotised” for it to work. You might feel deeply relaxed, a little floaty or even like you’re about to fall asleep - this is all part of your mind becoming more open and receptive. It is normal to visualise vividly and/or see nothing - each journey is unique to you and will differ every time. 🌙✨

🌿 Breathwork Sessions 🌿
Dive deep into the incredible power of your own breath. Our guided breathwork sessions are a journey inward, helping you tap into a natural and profound tool for healing and transformation. You'll learn to consciously connect with your breath to quiet the mind, release stored tension, and regulate your nervous system. By activating your body's "rest and digest" response, breathwork can help to reduce stress, anxiety, improve mental clarity, and boost your energy levels.. ✨✨
✨ Ceremonial Delights ✨
Immerse yourself in sacred rituals designed to awaken your spirit and deepen your healing journey. Experience the transformative power of our Connection circles, share in the ancient wisdom of a Fire Ceremony, nourish your soul with a heart-opening Cacao Ceremony, and elevate your senses with the calming energy of a Blue Lotus Tea Ceremony. These safe and sacred moments will help you release, renew, and return to your true essence. 🌿💫
