Testimonials

I participated in the May women’s retreat, and it was an experience I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life! The location at the Blue Green Sanctuary in Byron Bay is absolutely stunning. Anastasia is a wonderful host x

Guilia, Australia

I attended the Elementa 3-day women’s retreat earlier this year and was blown away. Anastasia curated and facilitated such a special experience for us all, combining all of her unique tools and talents. All of the activities were so mindfully thought out to our individual group, and Anastasia went above and beyond to make sure that we felt comfortable and nurtured throughout the whole retreat. I cannot believe I am only discovering women’s retreats now and cannot wait to attend the next one! Thanks again for such a wonderful experience, Anastasia <3

Bec, Australia

The most amazing retreat, and I met the most amazing women all thanks to Anastasia. The whole retreat was filled with mindful and inspiring activities. Connecting back with myself and who I am all thanks to this beautiful place. Would not recommend this enough, can’t put into words how powerful this place is xx

Octavia, Australia

I truly have not enough words for the experience of Elementa Retreat. I went in not knowing what to expect as I’d never done a retreat before. I left with such gratitude and connectedness that I didn’t even realise was possible. Connectedness to myself, nature, sisterhood and endless possibilities of improvement on the inner work. At the end of the retreat I felt so at peace with myself. It’s 3 days post retreat and I’m still floating! Anastasia facilitated such a beautiful experience from start to finish. If you’re ready to begin the work and connect with like minded woman, I highly recommend to not walk but run to this retreat. Thank you thank you thank you!
