Still Point Retreat at Sun Ranch, March 2026

Still Point Retreat at Sun Ranch, March 2026

March 5 - 8, 2026 | SUN RANCH, NORTHERN RIVERS

Welcome to Still Point, Lume’s third retreat. Join us for four days of reading-led reflection, meditative movement, restorative treatments, and shared moments, all within the beauty of Sun Ranch. A time to find stillness in a moving world, and take it with you.

Each day is anchored by gentle movement and East Asian therapies with Aleisha and Patchula of Machiya, weaving Qigong, acupuncture meditations, and their signature Shiatsu Yin practice. Afternoons offer space for facials, bodywork, swims, sauna, and rest. Evenings invite connection, conversation, and contemplation through a multi-day workshop shaped by literature, to be announced.

More will unfold in the weeks ahead—including our chosen book and the conversations it will anchor each evening—but for now, you’ll find details on accommodation, optional extras, and our wellbeing partners, Machiya, below.

    Wellbeing by Machiya

    For our gentle movement and wellbeing across the four days, we're delighted to be in the capable hands of Aleisha and Patchula from Machiya once again. The pair expertly blend the familiar with the unexpected, shaping a deeply memorable experience. You can expect acupuncture infused meditations, Qigong, and their signature offering of Shiatsu Yin.

    Collapsible content

    Shiatsu Yin

    This practice combines Aleisha and Patchula's extensive knowledge of both yoga and shiatsu massage incorporating acupressure, muscle meridian stretching and a slow paced style of yoga for an incredibly therapeutic class.

    Acupuncture Meditation

    A deeply calming practice combining guided breathwork with a single acupuncture needle placed at the third eye. Designed to quiet the mind and rebalance the nervous system, this session invites stillness and presence from the inside out.

    Qigong

    A slow, flowing movement practice that supports the circulation of Qi (energy) through the body. Grounded in East Asian medicine, this session restores vitality, calms the mind, and strengthens the connection between breath and body.

    Private Sessions

    In your free time you’ll have the option to book a 1-hour private session with Aleisha and/or Patchula from Machiya during your free time. These treatments are available to purchase ahead of time, or on Retreat.

    Aleisha offers floor based Japanese Shiatsu with optional Cupping & Gua Sha and Patchula, a TCM Doctor, will offer Acupuncture with bodywork, Cupping & Gua Sha for full body release.

    Accommodation

    Sun Ranch is a 70s-inspired 11-acre Californian ranch just outside Bangalow filled with the tiniest of touches and broadest of brush strokes to create a true escape.

    We have three styles of accommodation for you and your friends or family to choose from for your stay — Rambler Rooms, Sun Ranch Barns or the Private Suite.

    There are four ultra-chic Rambler Rooms, each of which sleep two, and offer private access to the Rambler Long House Pool, a private bathroom and your own outdoor shower. 

    The off-grid Sun Ranch Barns, of which there are six, sleep up to four across two bedrooms, and include a bathroom with sky windows, your own kitchen, living and dining space, and the most inviting daybed by the fire.

    The Private Suite is a spacious one-bedroom lair, which sleeps two, and offers a full kitchen, fireplace and full bathroom with a bath.

    While the six Sun Ranch Barns are off-grid and self-sufficient, and the Rambler Rooms use hybrid solar, battery, and minimal grid power, the entire estate runs solely on rainwater.

    THE EXTRAS

    There'll be plenty of free time so you can lie by the pool, take a sauna, plunge into an ice bath, explore and commune.

    For something extra our head of treatments, Marina, will be giving her deeply transformational facials on-site at Sun Ranch. Choose to add on the 90min facial we specially created for our retreat to complement the beautiful environment.

    We only have limited spots available for treatments so make sure you book early.
