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
Our Alcohol-Free Wild Wellness Retreats (AF-WW) are for those wanting to shift their relationship with alcohol and enjoy the process. Australians spent an extra $2 billion on alcohol in 2020 compared with 2019. As a country, we like a drink.
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 founder of the Clean Slate Clinic. We're bringing the very best practitioners including a Wim Hof Instructor and Nutritionist to Tassie's North West for this Australian first where years of lived experience merge with health professionals and global thought leaders. Launched in 2021, The Cove is Tasmania's latest seaside escape - 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.

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:
DR. CHRIS DAVIS - ADDICTION SPECIALIST
Dr Chris is a Sydney-based GP and Director of East Sydney Doctors. Originally from the UK, he was a Clinical Lead in Substance Misuse and Alcohol and a partner in a large inner city London practice for many years before emigrating to Sydney in 2014. Chris continued his studies and among other things gained a Diploma in Substance Misuse. While still in the UK, he designed the highly successful Clean Slate Clinic. This is a GP-led alcohol management and home detox clinic that he has introduced here in Australia. He’ll talk more on this and likely his miniature schnauzer Archie for hours!
PIET BLOKKER - WIM HOF METHOD INSTRUCTOR
Piet is a qualified Wim Hof Method, 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.
ALICE HANSEN – FOUNDER/JOURNALING FACILITATOR
Alice is a professional travel writer and author. As the founder of the Wild Wellness Method, she has cultivated relationships spanning 20+ years with experts across the wellness field. On her quest to seek answers for her own struggles, she has connected with medical experts, international thought leaders and tapped into decades of experience to formulate a proven blueprint. Writing is a key element and she’ll guide you through a journaling process tailored to your wellness journey.
When she’s not at the laptop, you’ll find her on wild Tasmanian trails.
SOPHIE HANLEY - REGISTERED NUTRITIONIST
Sophie is a registered nutritionist from Tasmania with a bachelor degree in nutritional medicine. She now has her own clinical practice based in Hobart where she specialises in digestive health.
Sophie takes a holistic approach to health, and enjoys educating others on creating balance with food, and how to use it to improve their health and specific goals. She believes we all need to eat more from the earth and less from a box; and that people should focus on making their diet more nutritious over one that's restrictive. She loves to try her hand at growing her own produce, and getting creative in the kitchen.

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 walk, 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 walking. 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 a Wim Hof Instructor, 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$200.00
Jan 23 + Feb 27 | Also available by group request
KUNANYI / MOUNT WELLINGTON, SOUTHERN TAS
Discover Wild Wellness through fire and ice
Experience kunanyi / Mount Wellington like never before. The Wild Wellness Fire + Ice Walk connects you to the mountain through breathwork, fireside journaling, icy plunging and storytelling. Many of us love this mountain but how well do we truly know it? Read up on 5 reasons why you should join us!
In our small group, expert guides share tales from indigenous inhabitants to famed botanists to wayward bushrangers. We’ll then shift to our own storytelling; opening journals inside a forest hut 1000m above sea level.
We begin at The Springs and journey past the likes of Sphinx Rock for bird spotting and views. As we reach higher elevation, Tasmania’s only qualified Wim Hof Method instructor, Dutchman Piet Blokker will guide us through our breathwork and plunge session. Having worked closely in Europe with Wim, he’s excited to bring this transformative method to kunanyi’s wild slopes. Though the cold-water element is not compulsory, it will ignite every sense.
After Piet’s session we’ll huddle into a stone chalet by the roaring fire. Lunch is a hearty Tasmanian affair, plump gourmet burgers and local flavours on the menu. After our journaling session with esteemed journalist and journaller Amanda Ducker we’ll continue our walk – discovering some of the most celebrated huts on the mountain. We’ll return to The Springs along the epic Organ Pipes Track; one of the great short walks of Tasmania.
Let kunanyi / Mount Wellington connect and ground you.
To book your spot on this intimate walk visit: Fire + Ice Walk
*if you’re keen to plunge, please bring a towel and spare thermals
*this walk also is available by request and ideal for corporate/team building/small group connection.

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.
