Wellness Centred Leadership Retreat
with Capstan Partners
What is wellness centred leadership?
An investment in Wellness Centred Leadership by organisations is an acknowledgement of the importance of wellbeing not just for teams but also for the people who lead them. It represents a commitment to both the personal and professional growth of your leaders on the explicit understanding that it is impossible to separate these two elements within an individual- that a leader who is supported to continually nurture their sense of mindful self awareness, will in turn lead more mindful and self aware teams.
How does coaching benefit healthcare leaders?
Whole Hearted Medicine is proud to collaborate with Capstan Partners who advocate for coaching programs that support a journey into self-awareness, reflecting on individual skills, feelings, attitudes and behaviours required for effective leadership and providing a supportive space for change.
The retreat
The location
While all Whole Hearted Medicine retreats focus heavily on guiding you towards mindful and sustainable self care in the busy world of medicine, this particular retreat does this with an emphasis on supporting you to fulfil your complete potential as a leader. Educational talks are held in the geodesic dome where possible with the towering giant bamboo providing a beautiful natural backdrop for meditations and reflections to create a rich sensory experience.

Accomodation details
Byron Bay is a beautiful and unique region with expansive rolling green hills flanked by both unspoilt beaches and stunning hinterland. SOMA is nestled between these amazing vistas and surrounded by 22 acres of private land for you to explore. Rooms in the main house face either the sunset valley giving you stunning evening views or look out over the towering giant bamboo of the lush green gardens. All rooms have ensuite bathrooms that are stocked with beautiful Mukti organic amenities for your use during your stay.
Outside, a freshwater infinity pool, zen garden and communal fire pit provide the perfect space to relax and unwind. The geodesic yoga dome is perfectly placed for quiet meditations and yoga and the onsite bathhouse provides a serene space for ice baths or infrared sauna.
Accommodation options include:
Single room with ensuite ($8450 +gst per person)
Tea and coffee making facilities are available in the main living area with plenty of spaces to relax and unwind. Wi-Fi and swimming towels are provided and there are many cleared paths around the 22 acre property that are perfect for you to wander allowing you to see and hear the sounds of nature, creating an unforgettable hinterland encounter.
Getting there
SOMA is located in Ewingsdale, 40 minutes south of the Gold Coast, following a beautiful coastal drive. Departing Coolangatta on the Gold Coast Highway, follow the signs to merge onto the M1 Pacific Motorway heading south. SOMA is nestled in the beautiful hinterland to the west of the motorway. Conversely, you can fly into Ballina airport and arrange transport for the 30 minute drive north on the Pacific Motorway to SOMA.
Transport in the Byron Bay area can be difficult so we suggest that you either arrange transport via a private transfer company or hire car before your arrival to the area.
