What others say ...
In need of a personal reset & reboot I booked the Wild Wellness Walk. This trip delivered just that, plus a whole lot more. Passionate & knowledgeable guides reconnected me to mother nature. Daily practice of the Wim Hof method invigorated & renewed. Evening journal writing guided by Alice Hansen gave everyone time to reflect & discuss ‘Connection, Care & Commitment.’ A trip that nourishes the body, mind & soul. Life changing for me.

THE COVE, NORTH WEST TASMANIA
Get ready for a seaside cleanse! Our Alcohol-Free Wild Wellness Retreats (AF-WW) are for those wanting to shift their relationship with alcohol and enjoy the process. But it's not just about alcohol. This retreat is for anyone wanting change around areas of life holding them back ... whether it's eating more than you like late at night or lost in phone scrolling.
So, get your Wild Wellness fill across 3 days overlooking Bass Strait at The Cove with addiction specialist GP Dr. Chris Davis - a global leader in GP alcohol withdrawal management and co-founder of the Clean Slate Clinic as well as Clinical Psychologist and Mindset Coach Annia Baron, NLP Master Practitioner and Life Coach Nikki Karpeles and cold water guru Piet Blokker trained by Wim Hof himself. Plus we'll have the amazing Karalina for yoga, Adam and Maddie of EPT Legends and chef Sophia of Bloom Kitchen whipping up wildly delicious Tasmania fare. We've never gathered a team like this, from our fly in practitioners to our local wisdom. This will all play out seaside at The Cove - perfect for our science-backed methods and a good dose of relaxation. The sunsets here are next level glorious.
Get ready for three days of Wim Hof Method ocean plunging (where the Little penguins play come evening), practitioner-led sessions beneath the stars, yoga, massage, powerful journaling and guided breathwork. This is no ordinary blueprint. Discover the Wild Wellness 3 pillars: connection, care and commitment.
*Prices for accommodation are per person. Discount of 20% off full retreat price applies to those sharing a chalet, cabin or glamping tent. So bring along your partner, friend or +one! The Butter Shed is for individuals.

- alcohol has become a headache ... literally

The AF-WWM is a new option. It's not a rehab. It's also not a glamorous health retreat with a hefty price tag. It's the space in between for those seeking a life re-boot and tools to make it lasting.

WHAT IS WILD WELLNESS?
This blueprint for wellness is an Australian first; taking years of science-backed knowledge and condensing it into days. It’s a simple, wholesome wellness script. There is no better place on the planet to experience Wild Wellness than Tasmania.
Australia's Productivity Commission Report estimates mental illness is costing Australia $220 billion a year. Our burdened health system cannot cope. We believe there's another way ... a wilder way. No matter what your wellness goals might be, this method is about returning to you; listening in.
The method is based on three core pillars: connection, care and commitment. Think invigorating cold dips, silent walking beneath towering rainforest, nourishing Tassie fare and fireside journal writing. You'll discover a blueprint to lasting wellness featuring insights from Director of East Sydney Doctors, Dr. Chris Davis. We take the best of the traditional model and bring it into nature’s office.
WHAT IS THE WIM HOF METHOD?
It's a combination of breathing, cold therapy and commitment, offering a range of benefits. The power of the Wim Hof Method can help unlock a range of well-researched and documented health benefits including:
- Rebalancing your immune system
- Reducing inflammation
- Improving focus, mood and cognitive function
- Improving cardiovascular health
- Balancing the body's stress response
RETREAT TEAM:

This is a GP-led alcohol management and home detox clinic that he has introduced here in Australia.
PIET BLOKKER - WIM HOF-TRAINED
Piet has been trained by none other than Wim Hof himself! Dutch born, Piet now calls North West Tasmania home and lives by a flowing river perfect for cold water plunging. At the age of 50, Piet was challenged with Lymphoma and Rheumatoid Arthritis. Realising he needed to take care of his health, he began learning about reflexology, energy healing and came across Wim Hof, taking the 10-week course straight away. It proved a life saving decision - his awakening process began and today Piet is enjoying life free from arthritis and cancer. A Wim Hof trained breathworker and cold water therapy pro, Piet can't wait to guide you through your Bass Strait plunge.

RETREAT ELEMENTS: JOURNALING/CONTEMPLATIVE WALKING
The power of hitting pen to paper. It’s not new. Leonardo da Vinci’s journals spanned some 5,000 pages. But the therapeutic wonders of reflective writing didn’t emerge until the 1960s, when a New York psychologist devised what he coined the Intensive Journal Method. On this retreat, we won’t pen thousands of pages but we will invite self-discovery through the written word. Our Wild Wellness Journaling Method will cross our three foundational pillars.
We combine journal writing with contemplative time. In a noisy world it’s rare to hear nature’s silence. But in this Tasmanian stillness, it’s possible to reconnect with you. Nature has a way of casting its healing spell. In Japan, it’s known as forest bathing (shinrin-yoku), and literally translates to bathing in the forest atmosphere. It doesn’t require anything of you but to tap into the senses and soak it in …
This is your retreat, your words and your Tasmanian journey.
WORKSHOP ELEMENTS
Cold therapy
Ready to invigorate your life? Discover the power of cold-water therapy - delivering everything from reduced inflammation and better sleep through to increased immunity. Our morning submersions will have you feeling alive and energised.
Breathing
Take a deep breath. Isn’t it about time? Learn scientific breathing techniques that work wonders and can be tapped into for a lifetime to come. This breathwork is about boosting energy, dropping stress, recalibrating the nervous system, detoxing your system and so much more.
Nature
In Tasmania, we are gifted with nature in her most wild mood. We’ll immerse you in our island landscape to soak up its transformative ways. The Cove enjoys access to a stunning coastline that we’ll be exploring on foot together.
RETREAT INCLUSIONS
Guided by Wim Hof-trained Piet, discover the power of cold-water therapy and breathwork. We’ll go deep, exploring the benefits across four days of wilderness immersion. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never dipped a toe into the Wim Hof Method or you’re an enthusiast from way back. You’ll learn strategies and tools that will last long beyond your four days, under expert guidance. Expect to be challenged, reset and exhilarated.
WIM HOF METHOD WORKSHOPS
2 x cold water plunge
3 x breathwork/meditation
ALICE'S WORKSHOPS
Day 1: Tonight, we meet our Wild Wellness journals. Around The Cove fire or looking out to Bass Strait, we begin our writing. Alice introduces you to Wild Wellness and its three pillars; connection, care and commitment. Of the ‘three C’s’ this evening the sun sets as we contemplate connection.
Day 2: It’s journal time. Today, we explore care, namely self/soul care and care for others. Do you care for yourself as you would a dear friend? We ask questions and we let answers flow.
Day 3: Our final morning is about commitment. Wellness doesn’t just happen in three days. It’s not about escaping life - your retreat is lifelong with Wild Wellness. We make our commitments in writing and ensure we have plenty of fun, nature and joy weaved in.

WILD WELLNESS FIRE + ICE WALK
A$330.00
Oct 16, Nov 13 | Also available by group request
KUNANYI / MOUNT WELLINGTON, SOUTHERN TAS
Discover Wild Wellness through fire and ice
Ready to deeply share the wilds of kunanyi? This is a truly immersive day out, a feast for the senses. You'll experience what Wild Wellness is about through journaling, meditation, mountain water dipping and connecting to nature. Discover the wonders of kunanyi like never before. Listen to the stories of the mountain's history and unique plants and animals all in the care of knowledgeable local guides. Be coached through Wim Hof Method breathwork and icy river plunge (by Piet, trained by Wim Hof himself) followed by writer-led journaling beside a roaring fire and mountain stream.
The small group experience visits North West Bay River which collects its crystal waters from kunanyi's alpine plateau. We'll head off along the Cathedral Rock Track following the gurgling mountain river for about 2km. Once we've settled in on the river bank we'll have an extended break for our breathwork and cool river plunge (not compulsory but will ignite every sense!) After returning along the track fully refreshed, enjoy a gourmet burger lunch. It's a hearty Tasmanian affair with plump burgers and local flavours on the menu including East Coast cheeses and Pigeon Hole Baker treats to keep you going.
Not sure what to expect. Read about our 2021 retreat in the SMH and 5 reasons why you should join us on the mountain!
Let kunanyi / Mount Wellington connect and ground you.

What others say ...
In need of a personal reset & reboot I booked the Wild Wellness Walk. This trip delivered just that, plus a whole lot more. Passionate & knowledgeable guides reconnected me to mother nature. Daily practice of the Wim Hof method invigorated & renewed. Evening journal writing guided by Alice Hansen gave everyone time to reflect & discuss ‘Connection, Care & Commitment.’ A trip that nourishes the body, mind & soul. Life changing for me.
