RETREAT:
Restore Equilibrium
Women’s Journey Toward Embodied Balance &
Radiant Vitality
May 10-12
Hunter Valley, NSW, Australia
Life often feels like a precarious balancing act, juggling busy family and work commitments along with social obligations, leaving us feeling perpetually exhausted and off-kilter.
This gradual shift to off-kilter can happen so subtly that we may not even notice until everything feels out of balance.
On the flip side, there’s nothing like that sense of equilibrium where everything falls into place effortlessly, leaving us feeling balanced and energised without even having to think about it.
Balance is only something we think about when we’ve lost it.
Journey toward embodied balance and radiant vitality, in body and mind.
On the Embodied Balance Retreat reconnect with what equilibrium truly feels like, where ease and vitality intertwine.
Refine how you want to feel, from the inside out, moving through your day.
Don’t wait until imbalance creeps in.
Step into a space where balance and radiant vitality aren’t just fleeting experiences, but a sustainable way of being.
Experience the essence of our Embodied Balance Retreat.

Retreat Host and Facilitator.
Hi I’m Georgi Laney.
I’m passionate about guiding women in personal growth and empowerment through their body and voice, helping them to live a more conscious, self-expressed life.
I’m thrilled to host this Embodied Balance Retreat. I weave my magic using Feldenkrais® Awareness Through Movement® and voice practices in this immersive group experience.
I’m deeply committed to supporting women who seek a better relationship with their body and voice: to step into their personal power, feel safe and comfortable to be in their body and open their voice, and finally feel supported, seen, heard and valued for their contribution.
