The nurture of nature

FORGET hipster beards and black-rimmed glasses, health retreats are the new in-thing and there has never been a trend that is so good for you.
A weekend spent in the bush might sound like hell to some, but for those seeking happiness and inner calm, 48 hours is never long enough to reboot, recharge and relax.
Health retreats can vary in focus, such as Camp Black at the base of Black Mountain, Cooroy, where inner-health and fitness are the key goals.
Over two days, owners Penny and Russ take their guests through guided meditation, dawn yoga, core strength classes and massage, while chef Andy Wood prepares nourishing foods made with ingredients from Penny’s vegie patch.
Group sessions help guide guests through life and lifestyle choices, while personal one-on-one sessions keep guests focused throughout the weekend where relaxation and rejuvenation are the goal.
Endless sauna sessions and spa time will have even the tensest of persons breathing a sigh within a matter of minutes.
Embarking on a health retreat can be the best way to kick start your next journey with a positive state of mind and inner-happiness.
