Serpentine Ridge Conscious Living Healing Retreat

Welcome to Serpentine Ridge

A Sanctuary for Conscious Living & Sacred Healing Experiences in Nature

Nestled in the sacred embrace of the Widgee Mountains, Serpentine Ridge invites you to reconnect with self, spirit, and the living Earth. This 50-acre sanctuary is more than a retreat—it’s a vision seeded in love, care for Country, and creative awakening.

Here, ancient trees whisper stories, native gardens thrive, and cultural totems mark the sacred journey from mountains to mangroves to ocean. Through immersive retreats, meditative music, art, ceremony, and ecological restoration, Serpentine Ridge becomes a place to deepen your sense of belonging.

Led by artists, spiritual guides, and Earth-keepers, every gathering is infused with joy, colour, healing, and cultural wisdom—bridging Indigenous and non-Indigenous knowledge in service of land, soul, and community.

Whether you come to paint, plant, drum beneath the stars, or simply rest beneath the gums, Serpentine Ridge welcomes you home.

🌿 As you slow down to the pace of nature, you begin to listen deeply - this is Dadirri, and in this space, the mountain remembers you.

Serpentine Ridge Acknowledges Tradition Owners of Country here on the land & throughout Australia & we recognize the continuing connection to lands, waters & communities. We pay our respect to Aboriginal & Torres Straight Islander Cultures, & to Elders Past & Present.

We Acknowledge the Lands First Storey Tellers and First Nations Knowledge. Country is more than just ownership or connection to the land…we are meaning something beyond the dictionary meaning of the word…we mean homeland, or tribal or clan area & we mean more than just a place on a map. “Country” is a word for all the values, places, resources, stories & cultural obligations associated with that area & it’s features, It describes the entirety of Ancestral Domains. While they may all no longer necessarily be the title holders to Land, Aboriginal & Torres Straight Islander Australians are still connected to the Country of their Ancestors & most consider themselves the custodians or carers of their Land.

With respect of the custodians of this land, we the present title holders of the land for the last 35 years feel it is an honor & a privilege to live here & we are passionate in doing everything in our powers to honor this land bringing back “Gondwana” from the times before the early settlers, bringing back the original plant species with the knowledge & advice of respected Elders, these custodians from our area. Our passion is to bring people to the land, with spaces for people of all cultures to be welcomed, feel comfortable, to slow down to the pace of nature, to feel, to learn to listen to grow in respect & to leave nothing behind except their footprints, their heart energy in their experience with nature, & encoraging each who come the opportunity of giving back to this land by planting a tree during their time they are here !!
