Leave your weekly routine behind as you land and unpack at the House of Moons for a week of rejuvenation, connection and inspiration on sacred Bundjalung country.

Each day we rise with the sun for optional silent morning meditation and a warming cup of herbal tea. During our daily practices we work with intention, visualisation, writing, tarot cards and a full spectrum of movement pathways from form to formlessness to embody, express, move and celebrate the unique poetry of our incredible bodies. A full retreat schedule is available on request and will be sent one week before we gather.

Added By Delamay Devi
With a wealth of experience, her teaching and holding space work spans across two decades and a multitude of countries, festivals, conferences, studios, halls and centres. A creative powerhouse, Delamay is well known internationally for her embodied offerings which are fuelled with inspiration and infectious enthusiasm.
Delamay’s dance and performing arts background provided her with a natural progression to teaching yoga with a curiosity to delve deeper into the rhythm of the breath, the flow of the body and the formlessness of meditation.
Her first love is dance, then yoga so it brings her SO much elated joy to welcome you to this Breath Body Movement Medicine Yoga retreat which is a fusion of Prana Flow yoga, Tridevi tantric cosmology, Hindu philosophy, Yoga Trance Dance, somatic inquiry, Thai Massage and the energetic healing arts.
After a very unpredictable and hectic few years, this is Delamay’s first in person retreat and optional teacher training making it extra special so your mind, body and spirit is in for a real treat!
We look forward to squeezing you soon!
