Wellness Retreat Venue Byron Bay Hinterland
Lionsgate Wellness offers boutique wellness retreats near Byron Bay at the beautiful Heartwood Farm in the Byron Bay Hinterland. Our personalised retreat experiences combine nature, luxury accommodation, breathwork, meditation, sound healing, equine-assisted experiences and holistic wellbeing to help individuals, couples, teams and organisations reconnect, recharge and transform.
Reconnect with Nature, Yourself and What Matters Most
Life rarely slows down on its own.
The demands of work, family and everyday responsibilities can leave little space to pause, reflect and simply breathe. A wellness retreat offers the opportunity to step away from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with what truly matters, your wellbeing, your relationships and your sense of purpose.
Nestled within the rolling green hills of the Byron Bay Hinterland, Heartwood Farm is home to Lionsgate Wellness, where we create boutique wellness retreat experiences designed to nourish the body, calm the mind and inspire lasting transformation.
Unlike large commercial retreat centres that follow fixed schedules and accommodate dozens of guests at a time, our retreats are intentionally intimate. Every experience is thoughtfully curated around your individual goals, whether you are seeking deep rest, personal growth,
creative inspiration or meaningful connection with others.
From peaceful mornings overlooking the countryside to immersive healing experiences surrounded by nature, every element has been designed to help you slow down, reconnect and return home feeling renewed.

Wellness Experiences That Inspire Transformation
At Lionsgate Wellness, every retreat can include a carefully selected combination of experiences designed to support your wellbeing.
Breathwork
Conscious breathing techniques can help regulate the nervous system, reduce stress and improve emotional resilience.
Guided breathwork creates space to release tension while cultivating greater presence and inner awareness.
Meditation
Meditation provides an opportunity to quiet the mind, improve focus and develop a deeper sense of calm. Whether you're completely new to meditation
or have an established practice, sessions can be tailored to suit your experience.
Yoga Nidra
Often described as "yogic sleep," Yoga Nidra invites profound relaxation while remaining consciously aware.
This restorative practice supports better sleep, reduced anxiety and deep nervous system recovery.
Sound Healing
Immersive sound journeys using crystal singing bowls and other therapeutic instruments encourage relaxation,
mindfulness and emotional balance through the power of vibration and resonance.
Equine-Assisted Healing
Horse Wisdom experiences provide a unique opportunity to develop presence, confidence and authentic connection through
gentle interactions with horses in a natural environment. No riding experience is required.
