Byron - Luxurious & Transformational

Transcend & transform in lush Byron at renowned SOMA, 1-4 November 2024

This is our most luxurious retreat, set at the lush, architecturally designed and purpose-built Soma Byron, set in 22 acres of rainforest in the Byron hinterlands.

Dive deeper into your practice in a stunning setting, nourished by incredible retreat chef Rustic Rishi & enjoy small group wisdom sessions with personalised attention.

  • You will refresh, rejuvenate mind and body, break out of habituated thought patterning and increase your access to your own baseline nature of bliss and fulfilment.

    Between sessions you can enjoy the sunbathing or dips in the freshwater infinity pool, the outdoor fire pit for atmospheric gatherings, a spring-fed dam with outdoor seating, the hanging nest chair under the fig tree, gentle walks in the luscious surrounds or lazing in the stylish living room.

    Rounding is a powerful, simple, natural advanced technique incorporating yoga asanas, breathwork (pranayama) & 20 minutes of meditation, which is designed to trigger change at an accelerated rate.  A long weekend of rounding is the equivalent of approximately a six months’ twice daily meditation.  Uniquely, Soma has a dedicated Geodesic dome surrounded by nature, the ultimate environment for an intensive rounding program.

    No yoga experience required. All participants must have learned Vedic Meditation and rounding prior to attending, however we can arrange to teach anyone interested to learn prior to the retreat. Places are very limited, hit Take Me to Byron below for information or to reserve your space. I look forward to facilitating the profound personal transformation in this delicious setting, a retreat to remember.

“
The last few days have been truly potent for me, I feel utterly transformed. Huge stress release and shifts happening. You are a true light-worker Georgia, inspirational, and the most incredible facilitator. It’s like watching the laws of nature in action. I cannot thank you enough.”

– Jane M

The space and opportunity to dive deeper into my self and practice by consistently rounding over a few days was an absolutely blissful experience. Combining direct experience with easy, relaxed knowledge sessions over exquisite Ayurvedic food has helped me to ensure all the wonderful benefits of the weekend move with me into my daily life. I highly recommend Georgia's rounding retreats for anyone looking to deepen their practice, enrich their daily lives and connect with others who are treading this path too.”
