It is an invitation to slow down, rest deeply, and reconnect with yourself, with nature, and with community. Celebrating Queerness and embracing trans and gender diverse people.In a world that asks us to keep going, Eco Rest offers a pause. A space to soften, to be held, by nature, by stillness, and by your own body.For queer people living within systems that demand constant productivity and conformity, choosing rest becomes an act of resistance, a way of stepping outside those expectations to reclaim our bodies, our rhythms, and our right to exist beyond what we produce.Held at Karma King Lake, a peaceful, nature-immersed setting, this retreat invites spaciousness, quiet, and connection with the land. Surrounded by natural beauty, you’ll have the opportunity to unwind your nervous system and settle into a slower, more nourishing rhythm.Across the weekend, we’ll move gently through a series of optional, trauma-informed and consent-driven practices designed to support rest, reflection, and reconnection. We’ll begin with grounding and embodied practices to help you arrive, before the retreat unfolds slowly - with spacious time in nature, guided moments of deep reflection, and opportunities for meaningful connection.Practices may include:· Opening and closing retreat rituals· Gentle grounding and embodiment· Restorative or floor-based movement· Yoga and guided meditation· Quiet nature connection· Guided journaling/creative process and reflective prompts· Queer-centred conversations and shared witnessing· Solo reflection time and gentle inquiry practicesEverything is invitational. You are always welcome to rest, opt out, or engage in ways that feel right for you. This is a space that honours agency, consent, and the wisdom of your own body.Eco Rest is not about achieving anything, it’s about remembering what becomes possible when you allow yourself to rest. Whatever life looks like for you right now, you are welcome exactly as you are. Leave a little more resourced, a little more connected, a little more you.Expect lovingly prepared vegetarian/vegan foods and all the activities to be optional- the yoga component will be accessible to all bodies, shapes and abilities.Please feel free to reach out with any questions around accessibility or support needs and we will do our best to accommodate where possible.MAXIMUM OF 12 SPOTS AVAILABLE PAYMENT PLANS AVAILABLEGorgeous accommodation at Karma Kinglake can be viewed on their website -https://www.kinglake.com/rooms.htmlPRICING - please email (connect@queeryogamelbourne.org) with room request as rooms book out quickly!Investment:$950 pp twin share | $1100 pp individual | $1200 pp studio$850* - Single Bed in Shared Room (shared bathroom ideal for two friends)$1100** - Private Room with shared bathroom$1250 *** - Private Room with private bathroom* 2 beds within 1 room**5 rooms available***3 rooms availableDeposit of $250 (+$5 booking fee) required at checkout to secure your booking.
