'REVITALISE ME!' RETREAT
3 Day Wellness Retreat
HEPBURN SPRINGS, VICTORIA
27 - 30 October 2022
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 - VIVIENNE DERWENT, V'NUTRI
Vivienne Derwent has a wealth of knowledge in all things health, having had 28 years' experience in the wellness sector. She commenced her career in allied health, having started working life in general nursing at the Royal Melbourne Hospital. Since then, apart from a brief foray into the Insurance industry, she has spent most of her working life in the health and wellness sector, working and studying in New Zealand, the United Kingdom and Australia. During that time, she has worked as a tutor, presenter, personal trainer, clinical nutritionist, Yoga/Pilates teacher and group fitness instructor.
Vivienne is passionate about all things to do with health, has a real zest for life and loves helping her clients add more life to their years, rather than the other way round. Her mantra is “we all have the potential to become younger, stronger, fitter, better, healthier and wealthier (because there is wealth in your health) as we get older”. She invites all her clients to try that mantra for themselves, especially if they are ‘ahem’ a fraction over 25!

SAFETY
We understand that safety and hygiene are on everyone's minds right now. Our priority is to make you feel relaxed, safe and secure whilst you are on your retreat:
-
Continental House, Hepburn has a COVID Safety Plan and has certification stating that they are permitted to run a COVID safe hospitality venue. The plan is constantly updated to align with the latest guidelines.
-
The retreat venue will be thoroughly cleaned prior to our stay. Conti's staff clean to align with their COVID safety plan.
-
All guests must adhere to the current COVID-regulations as per the Victorian DHHS website prior to their stay. Mask rules and dining guidelines will be compliant with the restrictions of the day.
-
Conti's communal areas are sanitised and cleaned daily, with high touch areas and surfaces being sanitised throughout the day. Hand sanitisers are provided in all communal areas plus bacterial handwash in all the bedrooms.
-
All beds have luxury linen and fresh, clean towels are provided for your convenience.
-
The venue is spacious with lots of breakout areas. We will be able to space ourselves out for all activities.
-
Guests will be asked to fill out a Hammam Consent Form prior to entering the Hammam which has a maximum capacity of 8 guests.
-
We request that guests do not attend the retreat if they test positive to COVID, have a fever, are sick with cold/flu symptoms, or have been in contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19 in the 7 days prior to the retreat.
-
If guests become unwell on the retreat, we will ask them to immediately return to their room and quarantine from the rest of the group. We will provide them with a RAT test which will determine the next course of action. Guests may be asked to leave the retreat even if they test negative to COVID. Decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis.
-
We recommend that guests investigate purchasing domestic travel insurance when booking into the retreat to cover them for cancellation due to ill health. We are currently investigating insurance policies and will advise accordingly.
Due to the ongoing uncertainty regarding COVID-19, we will make a firm decision on whether it is feasible and safe for the retreat to go ahead by Sunday 23 October 2022.
