Retreats and Reconnect
Our unique two or five-day Discovery retreats are designed around every family member, focusing on experiences that bring you together to share, create and learn: a bonding connection to take back into your daily life. All retreats stress the importance of healthy eating from a young age. They blend experiences in Oasis of Discovery, our Family Wellness centre, plus joint and separate adult and child treatments and activities, so each family member has ‘me-time’. Retreats start with a Family Consultation to make schedules to suit everyone.
Treatments
We offer adult or child-focused versions for many of our treatments, such as stress-relieving Reiki, Cranial Sacral work, meditation styles and facials. You can enjoy others together, such as our mother-daughter beauty treatments. We have more than 200 treatments ranging from TAIM mind-body and herbal-based therapies, as well innovative technologies and holistic approaches to release tension, re-energise and re-balance for all the family.
Activities
Activities are divided into those that foster family connection in sports, creativity and nutrition and those that are age appropriate for each family member. Activities are both active and introspective and subtly encourage personal awareness. For example, Discovery Oasis, our Family Wellness centre, is themed round desert animals, such as the smart fox and far-seeing falcon, as metaphors for life-building skills.
