RETREAT FACILITATORS
​
Vikki and Tanya who run MeTreat Retreats are both busy working mothers who know how important it is to invest in regular self-care to maintain both physical and mental wellbeing. They know how hard the juggle can be through personal experience. They too spent much of 2020 and 2021 in lockdown with their 5 sons juggling distance learning, investing in their health and wellbeing, managing their businesses and maintaining their households!
​
During the second Melbourne lockdown in 2020, they ran The VITAlity Festival - a free online 9 day health and wellness festival for frontline workers and anyone else adversely affected by the COVID pandemic. You can find out more about us here.

GUEST PRESENTER - NATALIA WALKER
​
Natalia Walker’s mission through ‘Inner Creative’ is all about empowering you to harness your creativity and inner wisdom, so you can create a life or business that feels more kind, inspired and authentic to you.
​
Natalia sees herself as a lantern bearer who shines a light for others to see their path more clearly. One way Natalia does this is by providing accountability support to help her clients move towards their desires while overcoming any resistance and blocks in their way.
She also aims to uplift and inspire through her intuitive mandala and heart designs, as well as her Mindfulness through Mandala classes. In doing so, Natalia hopes to create a positive ripple of love and kindness out into the world.
​
Reconnect with your inner creative child and inner wise woman at Natalia’s ‘Mindfulness through Mandala’ workshop. Over the hour workshop, Natalia will guide you through a mindful mandala making process that supports you to connect and integrate your personal intention for the retreat and subsequent months. While making mandalas can be cathartic and insightful, it’s also relaxing and fun. When was the last time you picked up a pencil to colour in and play?
​
And don’t worry. You don't need any previous art experience to get the most out of this workshop. This is not a drawing skills class. It's more about relaxing while you draw and colour, giving yourself a break, quietening the outside world (and perhaps the chatter in your head), becoming more present and reconnecting to that deeper part of yourself.
​
You just need a willingness to be open and explore something new. Treat yourself and come away feeling revitalised and reignited.
