The Wholesome Womens Weekend
A nuturing, self-loving, sisterhood camp out for women who are ready to land back in their bodies, share their stories and be held in it all.
Three years ago, I ran my first ever Wholesome Women’s Weekend. It changed my life, as did it for the 4 women that came along.
Quick story time…I had just returned from an overseas trip, where I was on retreat for a full week in Morocco. Don’t get me wrong, it was phenomenal. But what I realised was that I actually left feeling like I needed another retreat. It was jam packed with things to do, a rigid schedule and honestly, not much time to just chill and connect.
I thought to myself, I should do something like this, that is, create a space where women can come gather, connect and be held, whilst not holding this high pressure or expectation of a schedule that actually low key stresses them out. An opportunity to switch off and reconnect back in with self. To be surrounded by like-minded women that they can yap + connect with, surpassing that surface level and getting straight to the goodness. In my eyes, the stuff that creates those deeply, intentional and beautiful friendships.
And so The Wholesome Women’s Weekend was created. Since then, I’ve held 3 seperate weekends, two in Victoria and one in Queensland, all unique in their own, but the thing binding them has and always will be sisterhood, self love + storytelling.
This upcoming Wholesome Women’s Weekend is going to be simple, nurturing and grounding. We’ll be camping out on a beautiful property on The Sunshine Coast Hinterland, spending the days getting creative and our nights around the fire.
Let this be your invitation to come join us from the 29th to the 31st of August on The Sunshine Coast.
These don’t happen often. So if you want in, you’re going to want to jump on it now.
The weekend will look and feel a little like this...
Confidence boosting, hype-girl photoshoots. Belly laughing with new friends. Home-cooked plant based meals cooked by Sophie, shared communally. Creating space to heal and nurture body image or sisterhood wounds. Dancing topless and howling under the moon. Feeling held by women that just get you and see you for you. Sharing stories of our bodies and journeys around the fire. A guided breathwork journey to land you in your body and your intention. Love notes to self and a memoir to last a life time. Finding deep appreciation for your journey as a woman. Space to get crafty and create to your hearts content. Burning the shit that is holding us back in living our lives. River swims and cold plunges. Time for you to be you. Yoga flow with Laura Fuchs under the Mulberry tree. Being naked in nature whilst on private property. Going offline and having a digital detox. Slumber party vibe meets campout. Tears of love, letting go, joy and pride.
Does this sound like you?
You’ve been the strong one for too long and you’re ready to just let go.
You’re in a season of shift :: breakup, breakdown, breakthrough.
You’re exhausted from being “on” and you just want to be held in your humanness.
You’re done with comparison, done with noise, done with trying to “fix” yourself.
You’ve got big dreams but your nervous system is still catching up.
You crave depth, not small talk, firelight confessions, not surface-level vibes.
You’re yearning for women who see you and don’t look away.
You want to dance topless under the stars and remember what freedom tastes like.
You’ve felt disconnected, disembodied, disenchanted and you're ready to come home.

I need to be transparent with you about something...
This isn’t one of those retreats where you just kick back at the hotel and get everything done for you. This is a wholesome weekend, think, a getaway with the girls. I always encourage everyone to help out where they can - bringing plates out to the table, building the fire, giving a lending hand when needed, helping with wash up at meal time. This space is a co-creation. And although I want you to sit back and relax, this experience is more like a family camp out where we all come together. Yes — I’ll be running the show and making sure everything is done and ready for you, but the extra hands every now and then is always so deeply appreciated. We’re a team. ❤︎
Frequently Asked Questions
-
It’s held at my incredible parents property 10 minutes outside of Gympie, don’t worry, I’ve kicked them out for the weekend (thanks Mum and Dad!). In all truth, this place is so goddamn special. We’re talking fruit trees, native birds, running creek, a beautiful flat spot for camping, a food forest, fire pit, gorgeous valley views, an outdoor shower and just an abundance of nature. We even have a Kookaburra called Evie that visits us (we feed her meal worms + she’s super friendly and cute!)
-
If you’re not one for a camp out usually, don’t fret this isn’t bush survival. You’ll have access to an outdoor bathroom, undercover areas and the kitchen where Sophie will be getting the food prepped. You’ll bring your own tent/swag/van or whatever setup works for you.

Yes. Yes. And yes.
You don’t need to have a morning routine, crystals, or a deep connection to your body right now. You might feel raw. Disconnected. Nervous. You might just know you need something. This is built for the in-between seasons and for being fully yourself. -
Perfect! Many women come solo, really setting the intention of A DATE WITH MYSELF and leave with deep connections with sisters.
-
Absolutely not.
You’ll never be pushed into anything that doesn’t feel aligned. But you might surprise yourself when you feel supported, held and seen. Your decision is always so deeply respected! -
We encourage a soft digital detox… a little less scrolling, a little more presence. You’re welcome to take pics or journal in your notes app, but the deeper magic happens when we unplug and land in real connection.
-
We know that life can be unpredictable. If you’re unwell or have an emergency, we’re happy to offer a refund up to 48 hours before the retreat starts. You’re also welcome to gift your ticket to someone else if you can’t make it. (this is also an excellent gift in general wink wink!)
Change of mind? Sophie offers a full refund (excluding any booking fees) if cancelled 30 days before the retreat.
If within 30 days from the retreat start date, a 50% refund may only be possible. This is up to Sophie’s discretion.
You’re more than welcome to transfer your ticket to someone else.
