IN THE HEART OF THE ADELAIDE HILLS

Aleenta Retreat

FRIDAY 1,2,3 APRIL 2022

NATURE & NURTURE

A Retreat Just For You.

Imagine escaping the city early Friday afternoon and enjoying a leisurely drive into the Adelaide Hills for a weekend just for you.Breathe in. Breathe out. Relax.

The tension in your shoulders lifts. The busy-ness of the week behind you. The craziness of COVID left behind. Soak in the fresh air, sounds of nature, nurturing food and company. Space to restore and re-connect.

After 3 days, you'll feel light, re-energised and genuinely exhilarated.

We promise.
