Our Wellness Retreat's are hosted on a Monday, as that is one of the quieter days on the water and on the beaches, meaning you'll likely have very few people around you while you're enjoying the peace and relaxation of the retreat.
If Monday's are not a suitable day but you are interested to join us, please get in touch and let me know your suggestions. If you have a group we may be able to put a special date on for you.

BEFORE YOU BOOK?
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT TO EXPECT ON OUR WOMEN'S DAY RETREAT
For a whole day submerge yourself in the blissful sun and enjoy the gentle rocking of the boat, while unwinding and rebalancing your whole body.
Visit the most beautiful spots on Magnetic Island. Feel nourished with healthy food, a gentle exercise flow on the beach, swimming in the clear waters and a soothing guided meditation, all on board a 58ft luxury yacht, the iconic Pilgrim.
From the moment you board Pilgrim you will experience the magic that works itself by just being around like-minded people. There is a sensation of trust and joy of sharing this experience. The sweet feeling of being taken away from the land and the overwhelming beauty of the calming big blue. Reconnecting with nature that is so important to keep us feeling balanced, refreshed in our daily activities and simply have to time to let go off stress. This deep blissful relaxation and space you created for yourself has therapeutic quality.
The flow that we will be doing on the beach is a series of delicate stretches and movements, connecting elements of yoga with intuitive exercise, with aim to energise you and shift energy so you can be more in tune with your body, your breath, your natural rhythm. It is not accidental that this will take place outdoors, under the open sky. It is a very different experience altogether, to be out of the restraining rooms, on a real living ground.
The menu is carefully tailored to leave you feeling light and healthy, with organic or locally sourced veggies and fruits, herbal teas, refreshing apple cider lemonade, fragrant fresh herbs, Magnetic Island honey and - just for your pleasure - a decoration of edible flowers. You will be gifted a branded glass, as a special souvenir from Pilgrim Sailing.
There will be a moment for an outdoor natural beauty self-care, using a sustainably home-made coffee scrub that works amazingly with the ocean's water.
With guided meditation to finish off the day, the Women's Retreat is designed for your complete relaxation, connecting with nature and feminine energy, sweet escape from the mundane, your nourishment for the soul.
A word about your Wellness Facilitator:
Ita Sypniewska is a three-times Vipassana Mediator, a student of an ancient technique of meditation originated 2500 years ago in India and Burma.
She has created a soulful program bringing wellness and mindfulness together, from a carefully crafted menu, to connecting with one's body through exercise in nature.
The setting of the Retreat is essential, as only a boat has the quality of the ultimate no-man's land and travelling through water itself has a meditative aspect. She successfully organised three Women's Retreat in Great Keppel Island to now bring it in its full form to Magnetic Island.

Just had the most beautiful day on the GKI Women’s Retreat. We visited spectacular beaches, did yoga, meditation and Ita put on the most delicious spread of locally sourced food. Came home feeling truly nourished in mind and body. Highly recommend. Joanne Labor

It’s kind we were all from one group of friends. I loved trying all the different foods. Not even knowing what they were or seeing them before. Food that tastes amazing. Thank you again for memories I will never forget and hope to get more. Sherrie Sutcliffe
