A Unique Forest Retreat for like-hearted Women

💚An off grid forest retreat in a beautiful place, for like-hearted women needing space💚 🌳Slow down, listen deeply & connect… Return to your heart & breathe in the nature of your being. You are invited to share in the beauty of Feathertail Nature Refuge, 22 acres of protected land of high ecological value only 25kms west of Brisbane & backing onto the southern section of D'Aguilar Range National Park. A serene 'traffic free' paradise with a seasonal creek & an abundance of native wildlife. Double bed available in a spacious room with your own balcony overlooking the forest. Enjoy sunrise views (or block them out!) and morning bird calls from the comfort of your bed. Beyond your bedroom is shared space with me, but with so many indoor and outdoor spaces to choose from, you'll feel like you’ve got the place to yourself. A meandering pathway from the house takes you into the seasonal creek…when not in flow, you can wander up the creek and get ‘lost’ in your own paradise….when in flow, play in the shallows or find a rock and take in the view. Practice yoga, meditate, read, watch the wildlife, go spotlighting, stargaze, write, eat, drink or whatever else you feel called to do! You'll notice that this place really encourages you to slow down and remember how to 'be' and not 'do' encouraging a greater reverence for the natural world that surrounds and sustains us...and a greater appreciation of yourself as part of that beauty. The house is totally off-grid, powered by the sun's rays... so thank you for being very mindful of your water and energy use during your stay. Some 'electrical' luxuries I once took for granted are not always possible off-grid, for example using a hairdryer at night or staying in the shower for lengthy soaks. Apart from a little curiosity when boiling the kettle or cooking toast on the gas stove, most people who have a hint of eco-consciousness don't feel restricted by it at all. Even the composting toilet (no water) is a novel experience... don't worry, there's no smell! From the moment you arrive you will be in the company of beautiful trees. All of the spaces in the house enjoy a connection with the natural world. In addition to your private deck, there are 2 other shared decks to enjoy, a spacious kitchen, a lounge/dining area with fireplace for chilly winter nights, the side room that's great for hanging out in, a bathroom, and separate toilet. Venture outside and you'll have acres and acres of nature all to your 'human' self. Ideally, I love to personally check you in and introduce you to the land and where the walking options are. Although I find it hard to leave home (!), work and other commitments make that a necessity at times but I'll always do my best to support you in your stay in whatever way you need. I am also happy to facilitate yoga, meditation and nature connection practices AND Pellowah Energy Healing to support you during your stay. Prices on request. For the adventurous walker there are several short and long options for walking directly from the house without even needing to get into your car. If you do want the shops, they're only 25 minutes away back at Kenmore. I will make sure there are breakfast items here for you to help yourself to, and there is always tea and coffee. If you have specific dietary requirements, you may feel more comfortable bringing your own supplies. Please plan for your other meals - the closest shops are 25 minutes away. You are welcome to store anything you need to in the fridge.
