What You'll Experience
When life is full, it’s easy to lose connection with yourself. We can keep functioning, achieving, caring for others and moving forward while gradually losing touch with our own energy, needs and sense of direction.
Vitality Rising creates five days away from that momentum, not to escape your life, but to create enough space to experience yourself differently within it.
Vitality isn’t something you have to chase. Your retreat experience includes:
✔ Expansion Breathwork, Hatha and Yin Yoga and Qi Gong
✔ Nourishing meals prepared with seasonal foods
✔ Remedial massage and spacious time for reflection
✔ Shared experiences within a supportive group environment
✔ Time to rest, integrate, and reconnect with yourself
Every retreat experience is built upon five simple yet essential pillars that support vitality, resilience, and living well through all seasons of life.
Mark Moon
Known for his calm presence and deeply relational facilitation style, Mark Moon creates grounded and immersive retreat experiences that bring people back into deeper contact with themselves, each other, and a fuller experience of being alive.
Em Cruickshank
Em Cruickshank is a Yin Yoga teacher, Qi Gong practitioner, and intuitive space holder known for her calming and nurturing presence. Her grounded approach brings warmth, steadiness, and care to the retreat experience.
Your Home for Five Days
Set amongst the forests and rolling hills of the Byron Bay hinterland, away from the noise and demands of everyday life, Blue Green Sanctuary provides the ideal space to slow down, be intentional, and reconnect with what matters most.

Return to life with more of yourself available
The greatest shifts rarely come from forcing change. They emerge when there’s enough space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most.
When the noise quietens, a clearer sense of yourself can begin to return.
From that place, it becomes easier to recognise what you need, and how you want to participate in the life in front of you. There is more space to make conscious choices, respond to what life brings, and stay connected to yourself along the way.
You’ll leave with renewed energy, practical ways to support yourself at home, and a deeper sense of connection to yourself, others and the life you’re returning to.
