Menang Boodja. The wildly beautiful southern coastline of Western Australia

Located on Menang Boodja, NewFarm Denmark is a 62-acre property between Denmark and Walpole in the Great Southern Region of Western Australia. We’ll have the entire property to ourselves for the duration of the retreat. Nearby, are two of the most stunning places on Earth: Greens Pool in William Bay National Park and the Valley of the Giants in the Walpole Wilderness Area.

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!
