Testimonials

I have the perfect framework now to begin my writing project with confidence.

I’ve let go of so many stories about myself that were holding me back for too long. I now have a clear plan and a supportive new network of cheerleaders – I’m excited!

An inviting and safe space to explore the areas that held me back in business and creativity. I’ve gained so many tools to work with my energy and the seasons of life.

My unexpected highlight from the retreat was Ricky’s gentle guidance regarding self-care and the benefits of connecting with nature.

My struggles in my business now feel valid and relevant – which has been foundational for me to flourish creatively again.

I’m feeling connected, inspired, joyful, supported and free. This retreat is exactly what I needed.

The workshops and experiences have been put together so thoughtfully – as a facilitator who runs my own programs, this is the gold standard.

I’m grateful for all the new tools I’ve discovered to overcome my sense of inertia and increase my creative juices!

I feel nourished in many ways, more confident in myself and surprisingly, I had so much fun doing it!

Small Group, Big Impact

Places are purposefully limited.

We keep the group size small to ensure a deeply impactful experience within a confidential, kind-hearted environment. With a focus on fostering meaningful connections, our retreats are designed to cultivate lasting relationships that support both personal and professional growth.

Our community guidelines, including no phone use in communal areas, help maintain a focused, immersive atmosphere that celebrates creativity, collaboration, and thoughtful reflection.

By joining us, you’ll become part of a supportive Alumni network, where you can continue to plan and deliver your next endeavor, aligned with your values.

Food, glorious food.

“This is literally the best food I have ever eaten in my life”

Sharing meals is a key part of our retreat experience. We take pride in serving fresh, seasonal, and locally sourced produce from the bountiful region of Western Australia, featured in our platters, shared meals, and snacks throughout the retreat.

Accessibility, Health and Safety

Accessibility: Some aspects of the program may be difficult for participants with reduced mobility. While the accommodation and program venue at NewFarm can be wheelchair accessible, the program features excursions to natural locations that are not. If accessibility issues affect your ability to participate in communal spaces we will endeavour to accommodate you but cannot guarantee this. While no element of the program and activities is compulsory, there is no discount or refund for activities you do not participate in.

Health and Safety: We work to create an inspiring and culturally safe space for personal development in a collegiate group environment. The program activities are not designed as personal counselling or therapy sessions and if you are looking for that type of program, this may not be the right program for you.
If you require medications or pharmaceuticals (including inhalers and EpiPens) it is your responsibility to bring, maintain and administer these while you are at the Retreat in accordance with your doctor’s advice.

We may travel to Greens Pool, which is an unpatrolled beach that can have strong surf and rips. It’s also a beautiful place for a walk or a stretch.
By coming to our retreat, you accept all risks associated with swimming, physical exertion, bushwalking, and exposure to nature.

Do I get 1 on 1 time with the facilitators?

Facilitators stay onsite, so you are welcome to chat and connect during mealtimes, walks and whenever the mood aligns – however there is no provision or scheduling for 1:1 sessions in the group retreat setting. Bo offers 1:1 mentoring for freelancers and creatives twice a year through her mentoring program. Ricky offers 1:1 therapeutic sessions through his private practice, where you can use a Mental Health Care Plan through your GP to receive a subsidy.

Food + Drink

‘All meals included’ means: Breakfast, Morning tea, Lunch, Afternoon tea and Dinner. Coffee, tea and fruit will be available all day, self-serve.

Alcohol is not provided, though if you’d like to BYO, please feel free to bring something to drink with your dinners.

We request that you notify us of any food allergies; however, we cannot cater to all combinations of allergies and intolerances. You may have to bring your own food for some meals if we cannot cater to your requirements in a group setting.

COVID-19 + Hygiene Policy

We follow WA Department of Health guidelines for all of our retreats.

There are a number of shared facilities at New Farm including the bathrooms – however all spaces are well ventilated and have sanitiser and hand-washing stations.

Please do not attend if you are sick or ill.

If you contract COVID-19 and can’t attend, we’d like to know as soon as possible so that we can start contacting our waitlist.

We’ll need proof of a medically supervised RAT or PCR for a refund, minus administration fees. You’ll have priority placement and accomodation at the next retreat.

Travel Arrangements

You are responsible for your own travel arrangements to and from NewFarm to attend the Retreat. While most of the program takes place at NewFarm, optional excursions to nearby places of interest may be arranged. You can use your own vehicle or carpool with another participant; however, this is at your own risk. We are not responsible for any damage or injury you may sustain while driving yourself or as passenger in a vehicle.

WiFi, Device Protocol + Connectivity

There is no mobile coverage for any providers except Telstra so if you need/want coverage and are not with Telstra, NewFarm Denmark suggest buying a Telstra SIM prior to your arrival. There is no wifi.

Many will take the opportunity to be free of their phone while on the retreat, but if you need to use your phone or laptop, you can do so outside of the communal areas (inside your accommodation). There will be 2 x emergency mobile phones with full reception on site at all times.
