Today, people are realising that there is more to the human form than meets the eye. To focus on health and wellness, we need to understand the energy bodies and how they interrelate with our physical form.
In 2026, Sherwood Loves Tasmania launches 'REALISE Wellness Retreats in Wonder-Land' to help seekers REALISE their path towards wholeness and wellness.
Sometimes life invites us to slow down, soften and listen. In the flux and in moments of madness, you are reminded that going inwards to tend to the parts of ourselves that are often overlooked when life moves quickly is important for our wellness. REALISE wellness is a 3‑day, 2‑night retreat designed to help you ground, regulate and reconnect with your subtle energy bodies so you can meet the world with steadiness and clarity.
At Sherwood Loves, we hold space for you to “switch off” externally and “tune in” internally. Through gentle practices, nourishing conversations and time in nature, you’ll explore how your emotional, energetic and physical layers interact — and how understanding them can support your wellbeing in everyday life.
Across the weekend, you’ll experience morning movement practices (yoga and or qigong), breathwork, meditation, sound baths, a labyrinth walk, and our signature “Happy Hour Chats Over Cacao & Chai,” where we explore the concept of our subtle energy bodies in a relaxed, accessible way. There are also spaces to rest, read, wander and simply be.
For those who feel called, optional 1‑on-1 sessions are available with our wellness practitioners — including Eastern medicine, personalised movement, Reiki, intuitive readings and more. And because winter at Sherwood Loves is all about comfort, we even have oodies you can borrow for extra cosiness during and beyond practices.
REALISE Wellness is the first retreat in our 2026 Wellness in Wonder-land series — an invitation to nurture yourself, learn new tools and reconnect with what matters, all held in the quiet beauty and safety of Sherwood Loves Tasmania.

REALISE Retreat Testimonials
I recently attended the Realise retreat and came away feeling like I’d spent a weekend staying with friends rather than attending a structured retreat. The atmosphere was welcoming, relaxed and inclusive from the moment I arrived. The food was absolutely delicious, hearty and plentiful, with something for everyone and honestly no need to bring extra snacks. The activities were thoughtfully curated and I really appreciated that everything was optional. There was always space to join in or simply take some quiet time for yourself without any pressure. I found that going in with an open mind allowed me to get the most out of the experience and take away more than I expected. Even though it was the middle of winter, the scenery was still beautiful and added to the whole experience. I would definitely consider attending again and would recommend it to anyone looking for time to reconnect, reset and enjoy a genuinely welcoming environment. DEE, JUNE 2026
The REALISE retreat was a great experience, with a well-balanced schedule and a great mix of practices and concepts. The facilitators were excellent and provided options so everyone felt comfortable regardless of their previous knowledge and experience. Stephen and Phil have created a beautiful space in a stunning location, and are so welcoming and generous (particularly generous with the delicious catering!) and I felt more part of the family than a guest. I would highly recommend a visit. DIANE, JUNE 2026
Coming to the Winter Wellness Retreat felt like arriving at an oasis of nourishing food, genuine connection, and deep relaxation. The weekend flew by as we explored new approaches to health and wellbeing while taking in the location’s beautiful views. This foodie-focused retreat served up exceptional, healthy cuisine, accompanied by great conversation around the table and a rejuvenating afternoon walk along the local beaches of Orford. Daily yoga and qigong sessions kept us moving, grounded, and present. Phil's information sessions on complementary wellness practices were thoughtful, in-depth, and easy to understand. Stephen and Phil’s generosity and care to our health and well being shone through in every detail. Overall the weekend felt like a welcoming space for comfort, reflection, personal growth, and connection. I left feeling refreshed, inspired, and grateful for the experience. FIONA, JULY 2026
My wife Fiona and I recently attended the 48-hour Winter Reset retreat at Sherwood Loves Tasmania. It was our first retreat together—and in fact, the first retreat either of us had ever attended. We're both in our early fifties, and I think it was the "Realise Wellness" focus that first caught my attention and eventually convinced Fiona that it was worth giving a try. A chance to step away for 48 hours in the middle of winter, reset, and invest in our wellbeing, all at a very reasonable price, seemed like an opportunity too good to ignore. I'm so glad we said yes. We arrived on Friday afternoon with no real expectations, simply leaving the busyness, pressures and responsibilities of everyday life at the door. Within minutes we felt genuinely welcomed. Stephen, Philamae, Tamsyn and Jeremy created an atmosphere that was warm, relaxed and wonderfully inclusive. It never felt like a "program" we had to get through—it felt more like spending a weekend with good friends. The food deserves a special mention. Every meal was absolutely delicious, generous and thoughtfully prepared. There was an abundance of wonderful food throughout the weekend, and it became part of the experience in its own right. One of the things I appreciated most was that nothing ever felt forced. Every activity was an invitation rather than an obligation. If you wanted to participate, wonderful. If you needed some quiet time to yourself, that was equally encouraged. That freedom created a very peaceful and authentic atmosphere. Going with an open mind was probably the best decision we made. We came away with far more than we expected. There was time for conversation, reflection, laughter, rest and simply being present. Even in the middle of winter, Sherwood's beautiful surroundings added something special to the experience. The landscape has a quiet beauty that perfectly complements the purpose of the retreat. For Fiona and me, this wasn't simply a relaxing weekend away. It was an investment in ourselves and in our marriage. We returned home feeling rested, refreshed, more connected and reminded of the importance of intentionally creating space to pause in the midst of busy lives. Thank you to Stephen, Philamae, Tamsyn and Jeremy for your generous hospitality and for creating something genuinely special. We left with grateful hearts and every intention of returning.” SAM, JULY 2026

A Place that Holds & Heals You
Sherwood Loves isn’t just a venue — it’s part of the experience.
The land has a quiet magic that helps people soften, open and reconnect. Guests often describe feeling “held” by the space itself.
Why? Because Sherwood Loves was built on an energetic ley-line; humans have meridians/nadis and chakras, so has planet earth! The energy at Sherwood Loves is palpable – many who have stayed have felt its magic.
This retreat is an opportunity to let the energy of the land hold and heal you if you intend.
