INBLUEM X CONSERVENTURES
REWILDING RETREAT
27 April – 1 May, 2026
A collaboration between INBLUEM, Australian natural skincare rooted in relationship with native plants, and ConserVentures, experienced guides creating safe, considered containers for hands-on conservation experiences and environmental adventures.
Over five days, we’ll journey together along one of Australia’s most breathtaking coastal trails, following cliff lines and headlands, sleeping under wide skies, and listening to the ancient rhythms of land and sea. Step by step, something steadier will begin to emerge: strength, trust, and the growing power that ignites when women return to nature and walk each other home. After hiking for three days, we will be taken to a lush oasis immersed in nature to integrate the experience with flower baths, guided self love rituals and workshops devoted to inner wisdom and sisterhood.
This is an experience rooted in female empowerment and deep nature connection. Through hiking, embodiment, mindfulness, shared rituals, and time in community, we’ll return to the body as a source of wisdom and nature as a sacred compass.
Held in a safe and thoughtfully curated container, with an experienced guide, nourishing meals, and essential camping gear provided, you are invited to step away from daily demands and into a slower, more embodied way of being. Along the trail, you’ll learn practical bush skills, rebuild confidence in your body, and remember that you are capable of far more than you may have been taught to believe, both on the track and beyond it.
Who This Retreat Is For
This retreat is for women who feel a quiet pull toward wild places and a deeper trust in themselves. We’ve curated this hike to be accessible for all experience levels - especially beginners who have long felt the pull toward experiences like this, but have felt overwhelmed or unsure where to begin.
It’s for those who want to move slowly and deliberately through nature, to feel their strength build step by step, and to share the path with others along the way. You don’t need to be an expert hiker, only willing to walk, carry what you need, and meet the journey with presence and care.
Holding the duality of the rawness of the track and a luxurious glamping integration at the end, this is a grounded, embodied experience that asks for participation, openness, and a willingness to be changed by the land and the journey itself.
