Join Young Women with Purpose this June long weekend in the Buckland Valley for our Winter Escape, a retreat where silly slumber party meets self care, because why should kids have all the fun?

Think waterfall walks (and a cold plunge for the bold), yoga, a giggly slumber party with the gals, dinner out at a restaurant, flower arranging, cups of tea on the deck, crafternoons, connection workshops, cuddles, and not having to wash a single dish 😍

At our retreat we will focus on connection, healing, play, and the magic of being women.

You will walk away feeling connected, relaxed, and excited to bring the element of play back home with you.

We have an INCREDIBLE chef joining us on retreat to nourish everyone. With fresh, healthy, and delicious meals that won't just taste good, but will also be so good for you, you won't want to go home!

Our retreat will be held at the foot of Mount Buffalo just one hour from Wangaratta.

Dreaming of the Buckland, has a large 4 bedroom home with a kitchen where our chef will be preparing and serving your meals, as well as a yoga studio, and two private cottages.

With decking offering stunning views up and down the beautiful Buckland Valley, you will happily take a seat in the morning while you take in the view soaring over the billabong & towards Mt Buffalo.

In your down time you can take a stroll to visit the sheep, alpaca, and horses, or wander through the property to the Buckland River.

As kids our whole job is to play, but as we get older and take on responsibilities, we stop seeing play as important or necessary. I'm here to change that!  

I am a neuro-spicy outdoor educator and event coordinator who has spent the past 11 years working with both young people and adults in my various ventures. From coordinating and facilitating school camps, to sea kayak guiding in the Canadian wilderness, to running my own retreat-based business for mums and daughters, I have a strong passion for working with young people and women and going deep into the feminine work (Think relationships, feminine and masculine energies, communication, connection, and play).

I am an advocate for young people who are neurodivergent and use my own experiences to show my friends and clients that their brains aren’t broken or wrong, but simply different in their own fun ways and something to be celebrated.

I strive to create a judgement free space that allows others to be their weird, wild, emotional, silly selves! Your differences are what make you amazing and you're allowed to feel the full range of emotions. In fact, the messier you get, the better! 

We understand that life can be unpredictable. However, to ensure fairness and manage expectations for all participants and organisers, we have established the following cancellation policy for our retreats:

Full Refund: If you need to cancel your retreat you can do so without any financial penalty 60+ days before the start date of the retreat. You will receive a full refund of any fees paid.

Partial Refund: Cancellations made within 60-30 days of the retreat's start date are eligible for 50% of your payment to be refunded, and 50% payment will be forfeited. We recognise that circumstances can change, and this policy is designed to balance flexibility with the need for prior planning and organisation. 

Non-Refundable: Any cancellations made within 30 days of the retreat's commencement are non-refundable and full payment will be forfeited. At this late stage, most of the arrangements and expenses for the retreat are already committed, and it becomes challenging to accommodate changes. 

• To cancel, please notify us in writing by emailing hazel@youngwomenwithpurpose.com.au
• Refunds will be processed within 30 days of receiving your cancellation notice.
• We recommend that you consider travel insurance that covers cancellation fees in case of unforeseen circumstances.
• By signing up for our retreat, you acknowledge and agree to this cancellation policy.
