FORESTIER PENINSULA, SOUTHEAST TAS
Exclusive access | By request | Day retreat
Dates: June 15/July 13/Aug 24/Nov 2/Dec 7
Explore the untamed with Wild Wellness
Venture down a winding gravel road with us – where the known world fades behind farm gates and into raw coastal wilderness few have laid eyes on. This land hums with history. It's the site of first contact between Tasmanian Aboriginal people and European explorers, home to the bay where Abel Tasman cast anchor in 1642. We'll be on land where more than 250 Tasmanian Devils roam; the largest wild population on the planet.
Bangor boasts 35 kilometres of commanding coastline. Rugged capes meet secluded coves. Today’s Wild Wellness playground spans 5,100 hectares of native forest, a sanctuary for Wedge-tailed Eagles tracing ancient thermals, swift parrots, and that elusive Tasmanian Devil.
Out on the Forestier Peninsula, private access allows us to go deep. We pad gently through towering Eucalypts, wander the pristine sands of Two Mile Beach, and crest the edge of 150-metre sea cliffs at Cape Frederick Hendrick. Our journey is guided by the elements and group feel; from a barefoot sandy wander through to an 8-kilometre adventure.

We pause through meditative breathwork and plunge in cool Tasmanian waters – optional but wildly invigorating! Our lunch is a picnic-style bounty of Tasmania’s best, freshly shucked oysters and a grazing platter bursting with regional flavours. We wrap hands round steaming mugs, our day inviting immersion into the relaxed Tasmanian way.
As we gather fireside for journaling you’ll discover the three pillars of Wild Wellness. The world slows, stillness settles in. Nearby, rolling waves weave into our consciousness. Thoughts loosen. Words find their way onto paper, carried by the same winds that have shaped this coast for millennia. Out here, we shed the noise of modern life and listen in to nature's voice. It’s rugged. Simple. Honest.
As the day draws to a close, we gather at Bangor Vineyard Shed for perhaps a tasting, farewell hot chocolate, or a local treat to take home. Join us on this family-owned property, where the forest meets the sea.

THE WILD WELLNESS METHOD
The Wild Wellness Method is an Australian first - a merging of wellness professionals, decades of experience and global thought leaders - delivered through retreats, partnered walks and online courses. It's the latest antidote to modern day stress; a wholesome script to wellness - as seen on Channel 10's Well Traveller episode here. We believe there is no better place than Tasmania for wellness. It's one of the last wild frontiers, at the edge of the world. Here, we breathe some of the world's cleanest air. It's wild. It's also the home of national award-winning Wild Wellness. This is no ordinary seaside experience.
COLD THERAPY
Ready to invigorate your life? Discover the power of cold-water therapy during our optional plunge. We’ll go deep, exploring the benefits of cold water immersion. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never dipped a toe into cool waters or you’re an enthusiast from way back. You’ll learn strategies and tools that will last long beyond our time together. Expect to be challenged, reset and exhilarated.
BREATHING
Take a deep breath. Isn’t it about time? Learn ancient 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.
WILD WELLNESS JOURNALING
Alice introduces you to Wild Wellness and its three pillars; connection, care and commitment. There is time for contemplation, gentle prompts and optional sharing during our journaling session.

"It was such a delightful experience and one that I feel is still reverberating slowly and beautifully through every cell of my body. Wild Wellness is a medicinal tonic for all. And the more we can spread this sort of balm; the kinder, softer, and happier the world will be.
It was a true pleasure to be part of the Fire + Ice experience and it's one that I feel is already leaving beautiful shifts within me." Annia Baron – clinical psychologist, mindset coach, yoga teacher & musician |
