SOULFIRE RETREAT
Byron Bay
November 7th - 12th, 2025
-
Soulfire Retreat is a 5-night, 6-day all-inclusive, joy-filled exploration supported by life-changing yogic philosophy and powerful practice. It’s designed to ignite your radiance, detox your body, dissolve pressure, and reconnect you to your Soul’s guidance
When we quiet the mind and enliven the body the presence of Grace is always near by.
Inspired by my own painful detour off the path of Soul and the exquisite bliss of return, this offering is for anyone who wishes to find their way back home to their Wise Self.
-
The Soulfire Retreat journey is about igniting our connection to our spirit! It is a pathway back to our inner fire and the joy of being alive. In a world so lacking in soul, it offers an invitation to the wisdom that murmurs in our hearts, beneath the noise of modern living.
The uniqueness of you is unparalleled, and what turns on your light is unique to you as well. Thankfully, trust in an external Guru is no longer necessary. Yoga guides us to trust our own internal prompting—to choose what we love, and to create from the burning desire within us to do so.
-
What I love about gathering together in a retreat space (apart from everything) is the opportunity to re-member who we are. Through the pleasure of movement, laughter, delight, wonder, ancient scripture, and contemplation, we draw all the parts of ourselves back into the sacred architecture of our bodies.
There, within that inner realm, we get to marvel that something so vast and Infinite can animate and find joy within the finite and exquisite forms that are you and I.
Simply put, when we rest in, our radiance comes out.
Your Soulfire Retreat experience includes:
Tantric flow morning practices - asana, mantra, pranayama, meditation - focusing on the springtime energy of detox and flow!)
Before lunch, a 30-minute restore session, eg, meditation/qigong practice for reversing disease/releasing the “hope molecule” practice
Afternoon Yin practice - for radical rest and rejuvenation
Evening/before bed yoga nidra - to re-pattern the pathways of body/mind
Delicious and nutritious breakfast, lunch and dinner each day
Trust the internal prompting workshop - using mantra and sound to open the portal of the heart and listen
Sacred Tea ceremony
Stunning Cape Byron Lighthouse Walk (putting it out there that we will see the dolphins and migrating whales)
One Zen Thai massage

Fire ceremony and ecstatic dance/last evening celebration
Unmatchable time with self to down-regulate and come back home to the sacred architecture of your being!
* You can do as much or as little as you wish of the daily schedule. Design this time to meet your needs
“Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.” - Rumi

About the tea ceremony…
Steeped with Rheanna Vaccaro
You’re warmly invited to sit in Tea…
Cha Dao, the Way of Tea-is a quiet, meditative ceremony where we slow down, soften, and return to ourselves.
We sit in stillness, share bowls of living Tea, and rest in silence. This is your invitation to receive, and to simply be.
No experience needed, just come as you are.
A gentle space to come home to yourself……
About non residential…
Live locally or have a place to stay?
We are offering a special rate for residents of Byron. Join us each day for the whole experience and return to your space at night. We have two-meal or three-meal options.
Additionally, day passes are also available. Please drop in and join us for a day of practice, enjoying the beautiful food and serene surroundings! Bookings are essential. A lovely way to design the offering to fit you and your needs.
The beauty of Tantric yoga, and any offering steeped in its teachings, is that whilst it upholds the premise that the practice is about enlightenment, it acknowledges that most of us, including myself, will not experience that in this lifetime. An equally important goal in this tradition is to have a beautiful life!
That is my wish for us all.
I look forward to walking this sacred path with you.
