HARVEST RETREAT ILLAWARRA

A seasonal retreat to reconnect with yourself, your body and the woman underneath all the roles you carry.

“I arrived feeling worn down and lost within myself. From the moment I walked in, I was surrounded by genuine warmth, kindness, and an incredible sense of sisterhood. I found myself reflecting deeply, shedding tears, and also laughing until my sides hurt. I'm leaving lighter, more joyful, and with a renewed sense of purpose. If you're considering attending — do it. It might just change your life the way it changed mine.”

— CORRINNE, 2025 RETREAT ATTENDEE

THE OFFERING

WOMENS RETREAT JAMBEROO · 2 NIGHTS: 19 - 21 March 2027

An inward journey to return to the woman beneath the roles.

HARVEST is not another wellness retreat.

At Haus of Hara, we believe meaningful experiences should be a deep immersion into possibility, uniquely curated to meet you exactly where you are right now.

HARVEST is an invitation to step away from the everyday and turn your attention inward. To pause the doing, soften the noise and reconnect with the woman beneath the roles, responsibilities and expectations you carry.

Set across 100 acres of beautiful natural surrounds, this luxe retreat estate sits upon Dharawal Country, offering space to slow down, breathe deeply, share stories, create, laugh, learn from one another and experience the beauty of everything and nothingness all at once.

We create moments that weave the experience.

Gathering amongst the stone circle. Setting intentions beneath the trees. Releasing what you're ready to leave behind by the fire. Creating something physically channeled and brought to life through your hands. Receiving the healing frequencies of Reiki and Gathering together in circle, being witnessed in all that you are: perfectly imperfect, exactly as you are, as the season turns.

We bring this Retreat to you because somewhere between caring for others, building careers and businesses, raising families and keeping everything moving, it can be easy to lose touch with yourself.

We're so conditioned to give, nurture, provide and keep going.

But when was the last time you allowed yourself to completely emerge into an experience that was just for you?

To be surrounded by women in a similar season of life. To be witnessed, held and connected without needing to perform. To receive without feeling guilty.

HARVEST offers you the space to do just that.

To be nourished.
To indulge your senses.
To receive what your mind, body & soul needs.
To reconnect with your creativity and intuition.
To soften into surrender.
To remember what it feels like to simply focus on yourself.

Inspired by the turning of the Wheel of the Year, we'll gather at the Autumn Equinox to honour how we've grown, make space for what is alive within us now, and craft intention for who we are becoming in the season ahead.

Through creative workshops, meaningful experiences, meditation, ritual and genuine connection, you'll have the opportunity to pause long enough to notice what you've been carrying, what you're ready to release and what you want to make room for.

Honour what you've grown.
Release what you've outgrown.
Make space for what comes next.

This is a weekend of sacred, curated experiences, spaciousness and intentional sensory moments designed to be deeply felt, embodied and remembered long after you return home.

A chance to step out of the doing, come back into your body, reconnect with the woman beneath the roles and return home feeling more like yourself.

HARVEST.
An inward journey back to yourself.

“My own heart and soul was longing for reconnection — and I found it. I uncovered the deepest feeling of love and acceptance for myself and all of the parts of me. I have come home feeling refreshed, aligned, and already making changes in my personal routines, my relationships, and my parenting.”
— LUCY T, MARCH 2024

THE LONG VERSION:

Imagine this...

You arrive at the estate and, for the first time in a while, nothing is required of you.

Your bag is unpacked. Your phone is tucked away. The pace of the outside world begins to soften as you settle into two nights uninterrupted time for you. There is nowhere you need to be and nothing you need to achieve.

Just space.

Space to breathe.
Space to feel.
Space to wander.
Space to receive.

You gather around the stone circle as the sun begins to shift, welcomed into the weekend with grounding, intention and ritual amongst nature: birds chirping, sun warming your face and the trees blowing in the wind. Here stories are shared, reflections are explored and something quietly powerful happens when women sit together without needing to have it all figured out.

You listen. You are witnessed. You realise you are not the only one. And this is what establishes safety & belonging for the weekend ahead.

From there, the weekend begins to unfold.

There are long, delicious meals prepared by a private chef. Fresh, locally sourced food. Breakfasts & hot coffee that don't need to be rushed. Lunches shared around the table. Dinners that stretch into laughter and stories.

You eat slowly and notice how good it feels to be nourished as you savour these moments of being.

Then you create with your hands in a beautiful HARVEST-inspired workshop, creating for the sake of creating, intuitively weaving your own magic into something tangible to take home with you.

You are guided through a self-love ceremony and personal crowning experience designed to bring your attention back to you.

Not the mother.
Not the partner.
Not the business owner.
Not the one everyone relies on.

You. The woman underneath it all.

There is time to swim in the saltwater pool, walk the trail to a waterfall, sweat in the sauna or brave the ice bath, curl up with a book or simply lie amongst the daisies and do absolutely nothing.

Because nothing is also part of the experience.

You may choose to settle into a restorative massage and come back into your body.

And then, as evening falls, you gather around the fire.

You write down what you are ready to release.

Perhaps it is an expectation.
A version of yourself.
A pattern you've been carrying.
Something that belonged to a season that has now come to an end.

You place it into the fire and watch it disappear into the dark night sky.

There is laughter.

There is beauty.

There are quiet moments when you find yourself present.

There are conversations that continue long after dinner.

There are moments of being held, moments of being challenged, moments of deep exhalation and moments where you remember just how good it feels to simply be.

And woven through it all are practical tools for working with energy, self-worth & emotional wellbeing that you can take home with you.

HARVEST isn't designed to create a beautiful weekend that disappears the moment you return home.

It's designed to give you something to bring back.

A little more clarity.

A little more connection to yourself.

A deeper awareness of what you need.

A renewed relationship with your intuition.

And the remembering that you don't have to abandon yourself in order to care for everything else.

As the weekend comes to a close, we gather once more.

We reflect.

We integrate.

We celebrate what has shifted, what has been witnessed and what is ready to come with us into the next season.

And perhaps you leave with a handmade creation in your bag, a few new friendships, a softer nervous system, a fuller heart and a clearer sense of what matters.

But most importantly... you leave having spent a weekend with yourself.

Not fixing yourself. Not becoming someone new.

Remembering the woman who was there all along.

This is HARVEST.

“I’ve been to many retreats, but this retreat was something else, something special & so needed. Through the thoughtfully curated activities - sacred circle, breath work and cold water immersion I found myself connected and transported internally into reflection and manifestation. The food and space were so wholesome and nurturing and I forged new meaningful, connections with other soul led women. I will never forget this retreat or the meaningful impact it has had on my life.”

“Nothing short of pure magic. Their meticulous planning and unwavering dedication to the women created an atmosphere of love, support, and empowerment, unlike any other. The weekend filled with symbolic occurrences that only served to enhance the magical ambiance. The bond among the women was palpable, offering unwavering support and understanding. It was a profound experience to feel so deeply held and seen.”

— JOSIE CRAIG, 2025 RETREAT ATTENDEE

    The spaciousness is intentional.

    HARVEST is an opportunity to step out of the constant rhythm of doing and give yourself permission to pause & slow down.
