About this trip

This trip opens for RSVP's on Monday 23rd of May at 7pm


The outdoors do not care about your shape, your speed or your fitness, and neither do we!!

Join us for a weekend of adventure, with amazing, supportive, body positive women, free from judgement, diet talk, or any expectation of fitness.


 

Bring your craft projects to the cosy forest hideaway that is Create Retreat - Warburton. Do as much or as little as you like on this super cruisey, laid back weekend away from it all. Relax in your favourite jammies and slippers in one of the two separate living areas or read a book on the window seat. There's a huge craft table as well as a cutting board and ironing facility for any sewists /quilters among us.


Spend time in nature too, hang out on the balcony and take in the view of Mount Victoria. I will lead an optional walk to La La Falls allowing 2+ hours at a slow pace (it's graded 3 but you can definitely do it if we take our time). The route starts practically on the doorstep and the waterfall is be best viewed in winter when it's at its fullest.


Late checkout on Sunday afternoon means you can sleep in and still make the most of the uninterrupted time off line to create/finish or make progress on your projects. No pressure to share.

Loved having the chance to meet with like minded women who just wanted to get out there and do activities regardless of their Size. The weekend was a great mix of adventure, down time and float time. Richelle did a great job of arranging everything we needed for the weekend and making all feel welcomed. Looking forward to meeting up with some of the ladies in future.
