ABOUT Becoming
Imagine This…
It’s Monday morning. Instead of another solo start in your home office, you’re crossing a wide, open paddock to a sunlit coworking space. You’ve already moved your body in an energising yoga flow, the air was fresh, and your mind feels clear.
Around you are other entrepreneurs ...coaches, designers, tech innovators, writers ...all here to get meaningful work done and remember why they love doing it.
By mid-afternoon, you’ve knocked over a project you’ve been putting off for months. You’ve swapped ideas in a mastermind, learned a shortcut that will save you hours each week, and now you’re standing in a quiet paddock, a horse breathing gently beside you. And just like that... your next big idea lands.
"Because the best ideas don’t always come from behind a desk."
Why You’re Here
If you’re like most solo entrepreneurs, you built your business for freedom - but somewhere along the way, the spark dimmed. The isolation is real. Motivation dips. You work hard, but it doesn’t always feel inspired.
You want:
Progress: real movement on the work that matters most.
Connection: people who get the highs and lows of your world.
Inspiration: ideas and energy that light you up again.
Play: because joy isn’t a distraction from success, it’s the fuel for it.
This retreat is where you get it all — in a way that sticks long after you leave.
"Connection is the ultimate productivity hack."
What to Expect
From the welcome circle to the closing, you’ll move through a rhythm designed to unlock both your best work and your best self.
Focused co-working sprints, strategic planning sessions, and skill-sharing keep your business moving forward. Daily movement, nature time, and embodied play restore your energy and expand your creativity.
- You’ll leave with:
- Tangible progress on your most important projects
- A renewed excitement for your business
- Routines and focus tools that actually work for you
- Skills and perspectives that expand your capacity
- A community that has your back long after the week ends
"A sacred pause to remember what you’re capable of."

OUR PHILOSOPHY
Making ancient wisdom available to modern families
At Becoming, we integrate timeless wisdom with the pace and demands of modern life and business. We believe your work and your wellbeing are inseparable — both deserve your presence, your energy, and your joy.
The Cowork & Coplay Retreat is where ancient practises of community, embodiment, and presence meet modern entrepreneurship. It’s your chance to remember how good it feels to work in flow, move with purpose, and belong to a tribe that lifts you higher.
"Entrepreneurship was never meant to be a solo sport."
WHY BECOMING RETREATS?
We do things differently
-
Most business workshops? Hours of sitting, listening, and taking notes you’ll never use.
This retreat? We do things differently.
At our Co-work Co-play Retreat, you’ll refine your business vision in a way that’s embodied, creative, and unforgettable.
Instead of just talking about strategy, you’ll feel it — through improvisation games that spark innovation, embodiment practices that boost presence, and voice activation to unlock authentic communication.
Leave not just with a plan, but with clarity, confidence, and the energy to bring it to life.
We blend depth with results – We nourish the strategist, the dreamer, and the human behind the business. Because a resourced, joyful you gets better results. - We believe play is a productivity tool – Focus + joy = sharper ideas, stronger resilience, more creativity.
- We create lifelong connections – You leave with people who’ll keep cheering you on long after the retreat ends.
"Come with a vision, leave with a plan and a tribe."

FAQS
• What should I bring?
The retreat price includes accommodation, meals, all facilitated workshops and activities, and resources to take home. Travel to and from the retreat is not included.
• What if I don’t know anyone?
That’s completely okay—and very common! Our facilitators create a safe, welcoming environment where every participant can move at their own pace. Many children leave feeling more confident and connected than they ever imagined.
• What’s the schedule like?
Absolutely. Stepmothers, grandmothers, guardians, and mother-figures are welcome. If you hold the nurturing role of “mother” in the child’s life, this space is for you.
• Can I come if I’m new to yoga/movement?
While many core themes are shared—like identity, emotional awareness, and relationships—we offer tailored content and activities that reflect the unique journey of boys and girls. For boys, we explore healthy masculinity, emotional courage, boundaries, and inner strength. For girls, we include cycle awareness, body image, and societal expectations of womanhood.
• What’s the cancellation policy?
You’ll leave with practical tools and shared language to continue the connection and growth at home. So far all of our groups have organised to stay in touch and support each other beyond the retreat – we encourage this! We also offer ongoing mentoring and programs to support you beyond your retreat experience.
Explore Our Retreats
Retreats that nurture connection, spark joy, and inspire growth.
From family bonding to personal renewal and recharging your health, each experience leaves you refreshed and inspired.
Mothers Retreat
You give so much. This retreat is for you. Come laugh, rest, and reconnect with the woman underneath the job titles and to-do lists. Through soulful movement, unapologetic laughter, honest conversation, and the kind of sisterhood that reminds you who you are… you’ll rediscover joy and clarity, not just as a mother, but as you. It’s nourishing, down-to-earth, and full of the kind of connection you didn’t know you were missing. You’ll leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more alive, ready to return to your life connected to your purpose, play and pleasure.
Juice Fast Retreat
This deeply nourishing Juice Fast Retreat is a sacred pause from the demands of everyday life — a chance to slow down, reset, and remember how good it feels to truly care for yourself. Across five days, you’ll be guided through a gentle cleanse of fresh juices, restorative movement, and calming nature practices, all in a beautiful, supportive environment. It’s more than a detox — it’s a space to release what no longer serves you, rekindle your inner vitality, and step back into your life feeling lighter, clearer, and more aligned.
Mother-Child Retreat
This much-loved Mother–Child Retreat is your chance to step away from the daily rush and step fully into your child’s world. With the perfect blend of nature adventures, creative projects, fireside stories, and playful movement, you’ll both feel more connected, understood, and alive. Designed for mums and kids aged 6–10, every moment is about building trust, sharing laughter, and making memories you’ll treasure for years. You’ll return home with a deeper bond, a lighter heart, and the kind of stories you’ll be retelling for decades to come.
