Wild Wellness Method
Yoga, art, writing and photography are among the special interests developed in a raft of new expert-led retreats by the Tasmanian Walking Company at its celebrated remote lodges.
Among these special events is a partnership with Wild Wellness, a retreat at the Three Capes Lodge Walk focused on the restorative power of nature, meditation, writing and cold-water immersion.
An Australian first, the Wild Wellness Method takes the best of the traditional wellness model and brings it into nature’s office, including Wim Hof dips with a qualified practitioner, fireside journaling and meditation among towering Eucalypts.
If you don’t have time for a multi-day adventure, try the Fire & Ice Walk day experience.
See a different perspective of kunanyi/Mount Wellington. The walk connects guests to the mountain through storytelling, breathwork, fireside journaling, and if you dare – an icy plunging.
