RETREAT – UKI, NSW (30 minutes from the Gold Coast)
JULY 25TH – JULY 28TH 2025
I spent 4 days and 3 nights at a silent retreat facilitated by Angela and Grant and it was one of the most life changing things I’ve ever done. I’d always wanted to do a silent retreat but never found the right one, so it was wonderful to come across this one.
Everything about it was magical. The location, the activities, the food, the accommodation. I got an enormous amount out of being in silence and would do it again in a heartbeat. I can thoroughly recommend Angela and Grant’s silent retreats if you want to fully disconnect and get to know yourself at a deeper level.
The world is a busy place these days—full of constant noise, distractions and hectic schedules with full to-do lists. While it can feel near impossible to escape all of this noise, a silent retreat may be just what you need.
Our silent retreats allow you to step back, disconnect from the tech and lean inwards to find some space for yourself without anything—or anyone—getting in the way. It’s a time for you to reconnect with yourself again, find some perspective and be present and mindful in a beautiful, peaceful and supportive setting.
We host our retreats in different centres located in both Queensland and New South Wales. We always chose venues that are quiet and peaceful, while also being easily accessible from major centres.
So, whether you’re brand new to retreats and meditation, or looking to deepen your existing practice, our silent retreats offer a safe space for guided reflection, and some much needed peace and quiet.
AN INTEGRATED APPROACH TO WELLNESS FOR INDIVIDUALS, BUSINESSES AND ORGANISATIONS
At The Healing Centre of Australia, we believe in an integrated approach to health and wellness—one that respects both science and holistic health. Our approach is personalised, evidence-based and designed to support your entire being—mind, body and nervous system. Whether you’re an individual seeking balance, or a business/corporation looking to support your team
Here’s what you can expect on a typical retreat:
Experience the power of meditation and yoga to support your body and your mind. Listen to your body and allow it to move easily and naturally while leaning deeper into your internal world.
Come to one of our group sound healing sessions to experience the power of different sounds and instruments carefully chosen to reset your body and your mind.
Receive 1:1 Reiki with Grant, who will be on retreat to provide you with one (or more!) gentle energy-healing sessions using the power of Reiki.
Be surrounded by inspiring and amazing humans (just like you!) who also want some time out, while also growing and learning more about themselves.
From the moment you arrive at the retreat, you’ll have access to beautiful accommodation and all of your meals during your stay to nourish your mind, body and soul.
Clarify your senses using the sauna room (dry heat), steam room (wet heat), magnesium plunge pool (cold plunge) and Ozone hydrotherapy spa bath (warm spa).
Use of the 20m resort-style magnesium swimming pool to relax and absorb this essential mineral through your skin, while enjoying incredible views of Mt Warning (Wollumbin) and the beautiful Bundjalung Hinterland.
We have different spaces available at our retreats for you to chill out on our comfy couches, take a nap in your room, find a cosy space to journal or go for a walk in nature.

“Ange and Grant’s Silent Retreat was everything I never knew I needed. I signed up as a challenge
because it didn’t seem like the kind of thing I wanted to do, but in reality, it was the kindest thing I have ever done for myself. The retreat was THE ultimate self- care, nourishing and delicious food, an agenda with activities that were good for the soul and an opportunity to connect with an amazing group of people (albeit non-verbally!). Thank you to all
involved in the planning, I cannot wait for next year.”

This retreat was so much more, way beyond my expectations and congratulate Grant and Ange for putting together a first class magical gathering. They created such a safe space for us and every activity was meaningful. The sound meditation was amazing, as were the yoga classes. Food was exceptional. I can certainly recommend this retreat and it would be wonderful if they could bottle this retreat to take home.
Silent retreats are known to reduce stress, improve mental clarity and promote a greater sense of calm and focus. Time spent in silence allows you to self-reflect and understand yourself (and what you need) more deeply, which supports your overall wellbeing.
While we do encourage you to participate in the retreat activities to fully embrace the retreat experience, everything is optional. Your retreat is all about you which means you have the freedom to choose how you want to spend your time.
Bring comfortable clothing, a journal and any personal items you find grounding and familiar. But most importantly bring an open heart and an open mind. Meals and accommodation are provided, so you only need to focus on your own comfort.
On the first day of the retreat, we’ll all get together as a group and connect by talking. However, after this initial session, we do ask that everyone goes into silence, and stays in silence, until the morning of the final day.
Ange is an ex-mental health clinician of 15 years, so she will be there to support you any way she can, with anything that may come up for you during this time.
No prior experience is necessary. Our silent retreats are designed to support guests at any stage of their wellness journey, even if you’ve never set foot on a yoga mat or have never meditated before.
Yes absolutely. We will cater for any dietary requirements you have. Just let us know on your onboarding form when you sign up.
You’ll be given a direct phone number that you can give to your loved ones back home so that they can still contact you in the event of an emergency.
