ILLUMINATION
A Vibe High Day Retreat
Sunday 27 September 2026 - Byron Bay
A full day to release, reconnect and illuminate.
Come away for a day. Come back to yourself.
Illumination is a full-day Vibe High experience held beneath the energy of the Full Moon — an invitation to step out of the noise of everyday life and into a day of movement, stillness, connection, expression and joy.
Our day unfolds at The Nest in Main Arm, Byron Bay Hinterland — a beautiful sanctuary nestled amongst nature and home to rescued horses. Surrounded by the quiet of the hinterland, we'll have space to slow down, breathe deeply and reconnect with ourselves and the natural world.
Through ancient yogic practices, Ayurvedic wisdom, conscious movement, elemental experiences and time in nature, we'll create space to release what no longer serves us and reconnect with what feels alive.
This isn't about trying to become someone different.
It's about illuminating more of who you already are.
What to Expect
A day of Vibe High experience
A powerful morning practice drawing on the Himalayan yogic tradition, using movement, breath and meditation to awaken energy and cultivate clarity.
❋ Himalayan Kriya YogaA contrast experience inviting you into presence, resilience and surrender — moving between heat and cold and discovering what happens when you stop fighting the experience and learn to breathe through it.
❋ Ice Bath & SaunaAn immersive Ayurvedic-inspired dining experience designed to nourish the senses and bring us into connection with the wisdom of food, nature and the elements
❋ Ayurvedic DiningAn embodied movement experience inviting you to let go of choreography and control, connect with the people around you and surrender to rhythm, flow and expression.
❋ Rhythm FlowA journey into the Vedic understanding of the Moon — Chandra — and its relationship with our emotions, rhythms, intuition and inner world.
❋ Vedic Astrology & ChandraAs the sun sets, we'll gather around the fire, share a nourishing snack and watch the Full Moon rise — closing the day in connection, reflection and celebration.
❋ Fire + Full MoonNourishment as a sensory experience.
Guided by chef Ash Rainbow, you'll be taken on a sensory journey through Ayurvedic nourishment — exploring how food, herbs and spices can support balance, vitality and connection.
Ayurveda means “the knowledge of life” — an ancient Indian tradition that weaves body, mind and spirit into harmony through intentional living and mindful nourishment.
You'll be invited to slow down and truly experience your meal: tasting with presence, curiosity and awareness, while connecting with the earth that grew your food and the intelligence of your own body.
Each dish is lovingly crafted as a therapeutic experience, using seasonal local produce, grounding spices and Ayurvedic wisdom to nourish, steady, warm and awaken.
Along the way, Ash will share gentle insights into the doshas and how different foods can influence digestion, energy, emotional steadiness and overall wellbeing.
Soul-nourishing food, mindful eating and ancient wisdom — an opportunity to experience food not simply as something we eat, but as part of the medicine of the day.
Prepared and guided by Ash Rainbow.
Vedic Astrology & Chandra — Understanding the Moon
A journey into the wisdom of the Moon.
In Jyotish, the ancient Vedic system of astrology, the Moon — Chandra — represents the mind, emotions, inner world and the rhythms through which we experience life.
During this experience, we'll explore the Moon's significance in Vedic astrology and its connection to our emotional landscape, intuition and natural cycles.
As we move through the Full Moon, you'll be invited to look beyond astrology as something that simply tells us who we are, and instead explore it as a tool for understanding the energies that are moving through us and the different seasons of our lives.
We'll explore Chandra's relationship with rhythm, reflection and renewal, and consider how working consciously with lunar cycles can help us become more attuned to ourselves, nature and the world around us.
A space to pause, reflect and illuminate what is ready to be seen.
Rhythm Flow
Let go. Move together. Find your rhythm.
Rhythm Flow is an embodied movement experience created to take you beyond choreography and into connection.
There is nothing to get right and no particular way you need to move. Instead, you'll be invited to listen — to your body, to the rhythm, to the people around you and to the natural flow of the moment.
We'll explore what happens when we soften our need to control and allow ourselves to be guided by something greater than ourselves.
Through movement, rhythm and shared expression, we'll create space for freedom, play, connection and joy — trusting that when we stop trying to direct every step, something beautiful can emerge.
Come as you are. Feel the rhythm. Let go. Flow.
Release. Feel. Express. Illuminate.
A day to soften your grip, trust the flow of nature and allow yourself to experience the freedom that comes when you stop trying to control every moment.
