Testimonials

Life changing. Affirming and necessary.

I have found clarity. Tide + Seek has exceeded all of my expectations and set a high bar for any future programs I might attend!

The workshops and experiences have been put together so thoughtfully – as a facilitator who runs my own programs, this is the gold standard.

This is what the world needs.

Tide + Seek has given me the courage to step out of the shadows and face the future with optimism.

I’ve left with a clearer sense of my values and purpose – and how they fit together. I’m leaving feeling more buoyant, with a sense of optimism.

I’ve let go of so many stories about myself that were holding me back for too long. I now have a clear plan and a supportive new network of cheerleaders – I’m excited!

I feel nourished in many ways, more confident in myself and surprisingly, I had so much fun doing it!

An inviting and safe space to explore the areas that held me back in business and creativity. I’ve gained so many tools to work with my energy and the seasons of life.

My unexpected highlight from the Tide + Seek was Ricky’s gentle guidance regarding the mental health benefits of connecting with nature.

My struggles in my business now feel valid and relevant – which has been foundational for me to flourish creatively again.

I loved the deeply considered sessions and how they built on one another. Just incredible – what you have created is extraordinary.

I’m feeling connected, inspired, joyful, supported and free. This is exactly what I needed.

I’m grateful for all the new tools I’ve discovered to overcome my sense of inertia and increase my creative juices!

Accessibility, Health and Safety

Accessibility: Some aspects of the program may be difficult for participants with reduced mobility. While the accommodation and program venue at NewFarm can be wheelchair accessible, the program features excursions to natural locations that are not. If accessibility issues affect your ability to participate in communal spaces we will endeavour to accommodate you but cannot guarantee this. While no element of the program and activities is compulsory, there is no discount or refund for activities you do not participate in.

Health and Safety: We work to create an inspiring and culturally safe space for personal development in a collegiate group environment. The program activities are not designed as personal counselling or therapy sessions and if you are looking for that type of program, this may not be the right program for you.
If you require medications or pharmaceuticals (including inhalers and EpiPens) it is your responsibility to bring, maintain and administer these while you are at the Retreat in accordance with your doctor’s advice.

We may travel to Greens Pool, which is an unpatrolled beach that can have strong surf and rips. It’s also a beautiful place for a walk or a stretch.
By coming to our retreat, you accept all risks associated with swimming, physical exertion, bushwalking, and exposure to nature.

Do I get 1 on 1 time with the facilitators?

Facilitators stay onsite, so you are welcome to connect informally during mealtimes, walks and breaks. We also offer a 15-minute check-in session with a facilitator in the midst of the program.

Bo offers 1:1 mentoring for freelancers and creatives twice a year through her mentoring program. Ricky offers 1:1 therapeutic sessions through his private practice, where you can use a Mental Health Care Plan through your GP to receive a subsidy.

COVID-19 + Hygiene Policy

We follow WA Department of Health guidelines for our events.

There are a number of shared facilities at New Farm including the bathrooms – however all spaces are well ventilated and have sanitiser and hand-washing stations.

We’ll need proof of a medically supervised RAT or PCR for a refund, minus administration fees. You’ll have priority placement and accommodation at the next retreat.

Travel Arrangements

You are responsible for your own travel arrangements to and from NewFarm to attend the Retreat. While most of the program takes place at NewFarm, optional excursions to nearby places of interest may be arranged. You can use your own vehicle or carpool with another participant; however, this is at your own risk. We are not responsible for any damage or injury you may sustain while driving yourself or as passenger in a vehicle.
