Join us for a month in Noosa, Queensland, Australia
Transform & Embody
Welcome to the 2025 Body Harmony One Month Retreat, guided by experienced teachers Duncan Hogg & Gina Carruthers, with additional support from teacher and practitioner Brendan Allen. If you are seeking an environment that nurtures personal transformation, allowing you to shed unwanted habits and embrace what truly matters to you, then our Body Harmony One Month Retreat is perfect for you.
What to expect:
- Improved function (breathing, walking, digesting, thinking, sensing)
- Improved regulation of your nervous system
- Beneficial postural transformation
- Increased awareness and mindful observation
- Increased sense of wellbeing and facility
- Improved bodywork soft tissue skills and touch development
We begin the day with awareness exercises: meditation-movement-breathing exercises that build as the retreat progresses. Each segment has a portion of the day emphasising how to read the postures of emotional issues within oneself and others. Each day involves hands-on components where participants rotate between being client and practitioner.
Class hours:
- Early Morning Breath and Movement Session – 6:30 am – 7:30 am
- Morning Session – 9:30 am – 12:30 pm
- Afternoon Session – 1:45 pm – 4:30 pm

I attended the One Month Body Harmony Retreat in October 2008.
Since then I have done more to live my dreams than ever before. By ‘done’ I mean taking real action. I went to the retreat with personal and financial goals. I left with excitement. I left unstuck.
Since the retreat I have continued to unfold and evolve, as I become the bodyworker I want to be. I’ve given numerous bodywork sessions and laughed alot.
And I’m gaining momentum.
I am well on my way to doubling my income for the year for an extra 5 hours of easy work a week. I kind of believed I could do it. Body Harmony helped me to do it.
Body Harmony has deepened, widened and clarified my spiritual beliefs. Beyond concepts and systems, Body Harmony connects me to the wonder of being alive and has helped unleash the spontaneous energy to do what I need to do with this precious life. I feel incredibly supported by the teachers and the beauty of the Body Harmony touch.
How was the one month retreat?………………. AWESOME!
