ELEMENTAL ALCHEMY

A 4-Day Immersive Breathwork & Embodiment Retreat

What happens when you give yourself four days to truly listen?

To your body.

To your breath.

To the quiet wisdom beneath the noise.

Join us for a deeply nourishing 4-day retreat exploring the elements of Earth, Fire, Water & Air as portals for transformation, healing, vitality and self-discovery.

Through conscious connected breathwork journeys, somatic practices, movement, nature immersion, meditation, dance, ceremony, deep listening circles and community connection, we’ll journey into our inner landscapes that so often get buried beneath the pace of modern life.

Held on the stunning lands of Yuin Country at Bamarang Bush Retreat, this experience is designed to support you to:
- release held stress, emotion & tension
- reconnect with your body & intuition
- deepen self-awareness & authenticity
- restore nervous system balance
- experience meaningful connection & community
- awaken more aliveness, presence & possibility

Facilitated by three highly experienced and genuinely caring breathwork practitioners and therapists: Amber Nomchong, Joshua Wrest and Dannielle Kurr.

Huge thank you to the delicious whole hearted women who joined last night's annual Womb Weaving Breathwork Ceremony.

What an hour to be in the presense of women craving to make a change to how they relate to their own bodies and the deeper currents of what our wombs represent and are capable of.

I witnessed everyday women, turning towards their pain, disconnection and grief with the purpose of feeling and loving the unloved parts of themselves.

Why?

I believe on a gut level they know that we feel it to heal it and that it is not just their own personal stories they seek to repair but they own deep down this work is for us, including those still to come.

Thank you to all who showed up. I am in awe of you all and this common ground we fight for.

REWILD YOUR CHILD: AUTUMN CAMPS

These camps form a living, breathing village... a village made up of many hands, many hearts and many voices. The kind of village built from muddy feet, open hearts, shared meals, deep breaths, Dingoe howls, fireside stories, belly laughs, geniune care, shared songs and beautifully messy moments in between.

The Bluegum Bushcraft Rewild Your Child program is never something we “run” alone. It’s something we 'become' together.

To every human who showed up and wove themselves into this living, breathing tapestry… thank you. For your care, your presence, your willingness to lean in, to contribute, to hold, to play, to listen, to learn, to share.

This kind of community practice is a quiet kind of magic… simple at its core, yet layered and alive in its unfolding. Always shifting, constantly growing and built on mutual respect, care and grit.

Deep gratitude to the land that holds us during these camps… the tree guardians, the whiispering river, the creatures seen and unseen… and to the custodians of this part of the Yuin Nation who have cared for these lands for countless generations.

These camps are a remembering.
A returning and a great turning.
This is the work of connection, reciporcal relationship and hearfelt repair.

- Next camp: Winter edition
- 13–17 July (NSW/ACT school holidays)
- Deets released in a few weeks

Come sit by the fire, wander in the bush and be part of something older and greater than us all.

MOTION: A Transformational Fusion of Breathwork & Conscious Dance

There is a kind of freedom that only the body understands. Not the kind that performs, impresses or tries to get the steps right… but the kind that emerges when we stop worrying about how it looks and start listening to how it feels.

MOTION is a unique fusion of conscious connected breathwork and conscious dance, designed to support you to move from the inside out. Through breath, rhythm, movement, dance and stillness, we explore what becomes possible when the body and breath are allowed to lead the way.

This is not a dance class.
There is no choreography.
No mirrors.
No pressure to perform.

Instead, we’ll begin with simple movement practices to gently open the body and settle the nervous system. We will then explore some of our unique body expresssions before moving into a 90-minute breath-led movement and dance journey supported by a deep, rhythmic playful and trance inspired soundscape.

For much of the journey, eyes will be closed to create privacy and help you drop out of comparison and deeper into your own inner landscape. From here, movement becomes instinctive, honest and surprisingly liberating.

Some moments may be expansive and wild.
Others slow, quiet and inward.

All of it welcome.

This practice is about cultivating a relationship of freedom with our bodies and allowing breath and movement to express what words cannot. A space to shake loose stagnant energy, reconnect with your inner world and remember the intelligence that lives in your body.

- O'Connor ACT
- Saturday 28 March
- 5pm – 9pm

Come breathe.
Come move.
Come dance yourself free.

Tickets are limited. Small group experience only.

Today I’m stepping slightly outside my usual therapeutic lane.

To speak plainly about something I’ve watched for 25 years in the health and fitness world.

I’m professionally retired from movement coaching now but I’m still part of that world and there are a few myths quietly running the show that I still see everywhere.

1. ‘Fitness’ and ‘health’ are not the same thing.

For a while, they travel together.
You get stronger and you feel better.

But somewhere along the road, many people stop listening to their bodies and start chasing performance.

The heavier lift.
The longer run.
The bigger muscles.
The faster sprint.
The lower body fat percentage.

That is often the tipping point.

Recovery shrinks.
Stress load climbs.
Burnout creeps in.
Endocrine and gastrointestinal systems wobble.
Emotional health gets sidelined.
And wholeness suffers.

Wellness is about internal harmony.
Fitness is about output and aesthetics

They can overlap. They are not identical.

2. The ‘fit’ look does not equal the ‘well’ feeling.

We’ve been taught to equate “lean and sculpted” with “healthy.”

But a body can look powerful on the outside and be inflamed, depleted, hormonally dysregulated or emotionally frayed on the inside.

Wellness is not just what you see in the mirror.

It is:
• how our gut feels
• how our hormones are functioning
• how our nervous system is coping, how we sleep
• how our emotional body is travelling
• how it actually feels to live inside our skin

Chasing a look can quietly compromise all of that.

And then the bonus one, especially for women and anyone with a menstrual cycle:

3. Your cycle matters!

Training without considering our hormonal landscape is like ignoring the seasons and wondering why the harvest fails.

There are phases that favour power.
Phases that favour endurance.
Phases that require restoration.

When we train in relationship to our cycle, we work with our body’s intelligence.
When we ignore it, we can create hormonal stress instead of resilience.

There is more research and info available now than ever before. Go explore it. Get curious about your own rhythms and balance.

Look after yourselves.

Love yourself harder every single day.

Last Saturday we gathered in my studio for something quietly nourishing and fun.

A heartfelt thank you to Leah from for guiding us through a beautiful Basket Weaving Workshop. Leah holds a lovely teacher rhythm, offering just the right balance of gentle guidance and spacious allowance for our own hands to find their knowing. Calm, steady, relaxed. 

There was something deeply satisfying about spending a slow Saturday morning learning an ancient craft amongst friends. Fibre, laughter, stories. Hands busy, nervous systems unwinding. Time softened around the edges.

If you have been curious about basket weaving, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to Leah for a private group booking. You can also wander through her online shop and bring a little woven beauty into your world.

Thank you to everyone who came along and shared the day. I am officially hooked.

LAST 4 PLACES

Over the years, RECLAIM has quietly become something deeply grassroots.

Not a polished “retreat experience” — but a living, breathing reclamation of what sisterhood, community, and healthy relating can actually feel like in real life.

This is a space where women gather not to perform, fix, or bypass — but to be human together.

To practise honesty, boundaries, care, listening, repair, laughter and presence.

To remember that community isn’t something we consume — it’s something we create.

Held 27 Feb – 2 Mar on Yuin Country at a private primitive camp-site on the Clyde River Camp (NSW), RECLAIM weaves:
- Conscious Connected Breathwork
- Embodiment & nervous-system-aware practices
- Circle, ritual & shared responsibility
- Simple living in nature and nature connection practices
- Shared wholesome vegetarian meals
- Real conversations. Real connection. Real relating.

Many women return again and again — not because it’s perfect, but because it’s real.

This is where sisterhood is practised, not promised.

Only 4 places remain

If you’re longing for community that feels grounded, honest and alive — this may be your moment.
