September 19 to 24, 2026, at the heavenly Sangsurya Retreat Centre nestled in Byron Bay's hinterland. This six-day retreat focuses on the healing power of writing, helping you release old narratives that no longer serve you and write your way to wellness and wholeness. Two experienced writing coaches guide workshops designed to unearth the stories your body needs to tell, stories to uplift and heal your spirit and open your heart. The retreat blends restorative yoga, pranayama breathwork, and singing bowl sound baths with carefully structured writing exercises. Sangsurya's Thai-style hand-built timber cabins sit amidst sub-tropical gardens near famous surf beaches and world heritage rainforest, where mosaic-decorated paths meander through this lush sanctuary and native bird song breaks the morning silence. Locally sourced farm-fresh meals nourish your body as you settle into the blissful embrace of retreat. Pricing shown is an approximate USD equivalent converted from AUD. Please confirm the final price, currency, and options for single or double occupancy with the host directly before booking.
