ABOUT Becoming
Imagine This…
It’s Saturday morning. You and your child are walking side by side along a lakeside path, their small hand curled into yours. The air smells like rain on eucalyptus, and ahead, the rare thrombolites rise from the water like something out of a storybook.
Later, you’re sitting cross-legged on a picnic blanket, creating wild-crafted treasures together. Your child is glowing, holding up what you made side-by-side. That night, you’re both curled near the fire, swapping stories, cheeks flushed from the day’s adventure.
No screens. No deadlines. No “just a minute”s. Just you, your child, and the kind of time you both wish you had more often.
"Time together. Away from screens. Out in the world."
Why You’re Here
Life moves fast. Between school runs, work, and keeping a household running, you get moments with your child — but they’re often rushed, distracted, or half-finished.
You’re here because you want more than just “getting through the week.” You want:
Moments that matter... the kind your child will tell their own kids about.
Shared adventure ... not just watching them play, but playing alongside them.
Nature time ... swapping concrete and screens for open skies and fresh air.
Connection ... knowing each other better, not just being around each other.
If you’ve been feeling like the years are speeding by, this is your chance to hit pause — and fill that pause with magic.
"Your presence is the greatest gift you can give your child."
What to Expect
Over three days and two nights, you and your child will share experiences designed to bring you closer.
You’ll hike to natural wonders, make things with your hands, and try movement and play that get you both laughing. There’ll be time to sit around the fire, swap stories, and just be together without the rush.
There’s also space for you ... with one or two short mum-only circles where you can connect with other women while your child is happily occupied.
Accommodation is a cosy private room for each mother-child pair, meals are fresh and communal, and everything is designed so you can relax, enjoy, and come home with more than you arrived with.
"Adventure and connection ... side by side."

ABOUT BECOMING
Making ancient wisdom available to modern families
At Becoming, we create experiences where connection comes first — to each other, to nature, and to ourselves. We weave ancient practices like storytelling, communal meals, and nature immersion into modern life, giving families a way to slow down and connect in ways that last.
The Mother–Child Retreat is your invitation to step into nature, step into your child’s world, and make memories you’ll both hold forever.
"The greatest adventures start with saying yes."
Why Becoming
- We combine joy with intention – Every activity is designed to be fun and to deepen your relationship.
- We honour nature as our guide – The outdoors isn’t just a setting; it’s an active part of the experience.
- We create space for both of you – Connection together, and moments apart that make coming back together even sweeter.
"Connection is built one shared experience at a time."
INVESTMENT & NEXT STEPS
Your retreat includes all activities, accommodation, and meals for 3 days and 2 nights for one mother–child pair.
"Say yes to time that matters most."
