THERAPEUTIC NATURE RETREAT

About the Trip

  Therapeutic Nature Retreats are offered throughout beautiful Victoria, Australia and allow participants to slow down and reconnect while moving through a range of calming and healing activities in exquisite and tranquil surrounds. Our retreats are delivered as flexible, high quality support packages including accommodation, transport, meals, assistance with daily living and support to participate in activities.

 Let’s connect and plan your perfect retreat. 

What is Nature-based Therapy?

 Nature-based therapy is a powerful, evidence-based practice that utilises the healing power of nature. Nature-Based Therapy involves professionally facilitated interactions with natural elements and landscapes to promote mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Three decades of scientific research has shown nature-based therapy to significantly improve health in the following ways: 


  • Reduced blood pressure (systolic and diastolic)
  • Lowered pulse rate
  • Reduced stress hormone (cortisol) level
  • Reduced anxiety
  • Surge in the activity of cancer- and tumour-fighting blood cells (‘natural killer’ cells)
  • Increased happiness and positive mood
  • Enhanced energy levels
  • Better concentration


Nature-Based Therapy can be a creative and adaptable approach, easily tailored to meet the unique needs and preferences of individuals with diverse backgrounds, abilities, and lifestyles. Nature-based therapy can be a transformative and enriching experience that can enhance overall quality of life.
