When was the last time you were able to look after the most important person in your life… you?
We know you work hard. At your job, at the gym, and at home. And we know it often feels like calendar alerts are ruling your life, and you have to sip on your second or third cup of coffee just to get through the morning.
Imagine this instead...
Three lush days of soul-led rest and rejuvenation, specifically created with your wellness in mind.
A chance to slow down, reconnect with yourself and restore balance back to your busy life in a space of calmness, comfort and nourishment.
Does this sound good to you?
Then we’d like to introduce you to the 2021 Zea Immersion…
The 2021 Zea Immersion is a full-bodied and whole-hearted retreat experience for busy women, bringing our amazing team of wellness facilitators directly to you.
All set in the beautiful beachside town of Torquay, you will enjoy three days and two nights of guided sessions and activities designed to give you the restoration your body desires.
We will reconnect. We will rejuvenate. We will restore.
There’s no rushing from one place to the next, nurturing and looking after everyone else, and ignoring your own needs.
Forget about the endless to-do lists taking over your day and interrupting the time you so desperately need for yourself.
And don’t worry about spending precious energy on the hundreds of micro-decisions you have to make everyday, piled on top of the mental load of work and home life.
No, this is much different.
During our time together, we will take care of everything for you.
Our aim is to help restore your inner balance, and replenish your energy so you can return home truly revitalised with a full tank.
This is YOUR time to destress and recharge your batteries, whilst being pampered and nurtured in a relaxed, restorative and friendly environment.
Because you absolutely deserve it.
We invite you to say ‘yes’ to yourself and joyfully experience the best of what Zea has to offer!
Want to know what is happening over the three days? Here is what we will be doing together at the Zea Immersion:
FRIDAY AFTERNOON & EVENING
You’ll arrive in picturesque Torquay and get settled in.
Check into the beautiful Summer House, a sanctuary designed for healing and tranquility, and meet your fellow retreat participants as we relax over afternoon tea.
After getting to know one another, enjoy a soothing massage or indulge in the house facilities before being cooked a delicious gourmet dinner by our very own private cook.
We will end the evening with a blissful night time meditation under the stars.
SATURDAY
Start your day with a centering and grounding yoga session, before enjoying a nourishing breakfast.
Then get creative in our essential oils workshop and create your very own personal blend.
After unlocking our creativity, we will deep dive into an intimate session designed to help you reconnect with your inner essence and feel deeply grounded in your everyday life.
Lunch will fill your belly, before we have a fun session in the kitchen using our culinary skills.
Afterwards, take your time to explore or sit back and relax. Break off into pairs to sightsee in town or lay on the grass in the sunshine with a good book. Napping is also highly encouraged!
Fresh from your rest, a beautiful dinner will lead into a cozy ‘fireside’ chat - ending the night with full bellies and full hearts.
SHOP
SUNDAY
Our final day together is all about equipping you with the tools to maintain a balanced lifestyle when you return to your day-to-day schedule.
Starting with a blissful meditation in the morning, we will enjoy a sumptuous breakfast before heading off on a guided walk along the stunning surf coast and reconnecting with nature.
A hearty lunch will be waiting for you once we arrive back at the accommodation to have some more time together before we say our goodbyes and head home feeling blissed out and restored.
Breathe in, breathe out. It's time for an escape that puts you first.

If you desire to book in a full room to yourself, or stay offsite, please contact us for options.
CAN I HAVE FOOD ALLERGIES AND INTOLERANCES ACCOUNTED FOR IN GROUP MEALS?
Yes, of course! Once your place is confirmed, we will ask for you to send your allergies and intolerances through so we can work with the venue to ensure you get a range of meals you can enjoy.
WHAT TYPE OF CLOTHING SHOULD I PACK?
As our activities range from movement based sessions to casual meals, we suggest you pack a range of clothing to suit the activity and to suit your personal taste and preference.
Feel free to go as casual, as sporty or as dressed up as you like! As long as you are comfortable that is the main thing.
Please do ensure you do bring shoes suitable for our guided walk together and if you would like to utilise the mineral pool please bring swimwear.
August is cooler in Torquay, with average temperatures of 15 degrees, so bring layers!
WHAT IS THE REFUND / CANCELLATION POLICY?
This experience is the result of a carefully crafted program, many hours planning and highly sought after wellness facilitators being used and invited to be a part of the group activities.
We please ask you to keep this in mind as you register.
Do read this refund and cancellation policy prior to registration and paying your deposit.
This experience has been custom built to give you a wonderfully rejuvenating and restoring experience. With shared experiences, everything is pre-planned and pre-booked for your convenience to make this the most amazing experience possible for you. This is for you to utilise both personally and professionally.
With that in mind, this trip and your spot is non-refundable, however, it is fully transferable to another person. We appreciate and thank you for your understanding and do suggest that if you do book your spot and cannot make it anymore, that you transfer your spot to another willing participant after speaking with us.
Please also note that not attending one or some of the activities will not reduce your fee in any way.
We reserve the right to cancel the experience at any time with as much notice as possible, in which case you will receive a full refund. This is VERY unlikely to happen.
TRAVEL INSURANCE
If attending from interstate, we recommend you take out travel insurance when you book to cover yourself as best as possible, both in the lead up and during the trip.
ITINERARY
We reserve the right to make small changes to the itinerary if required and will give as much notice as possible in advance. Though this is unlikely to happen, if there are any weather or other such related circumstances that crop up, we would rather you do an alternative activity for your full enjoyment.
FURTHER DOCUMENTATION & PAPERWORK
Upon expressing interest in taking up one of the limited spots, you will receive documentation relating to:
- The Terms and Conditions of the experience, including a general waiver
