Sacred Octagon
“The Octagon” is our core activity and workshop space and is a generous 220sqm. This versatile space has incredible acoustics, making it the perfect venue for a myriad of activities, from soundbaths, music, dance and creative teachings, to nourishing yoga sessions, breathwork, meditation and transformative workshops. The Octagonal space features a magnificent sacred geometric centrepiece and two large citrine Geodes which hold and enhance the energy of the space. The energy of the Octagon is much talked about, it is an amazing space that holds and supports transformational processes.
The Octagon looks out over breathtaking views of the awe-inspiring Wollumbin, which seems to stand sentinel to protect and amplify the space.
Mineral Magnesium Pool
Relax and integrate at our resort-style swimming pool, spanning 20m in length and offering captivating views of Wollumbin and the surrounding valley. The pool, enriched with mineral magnesium tastes like freshwater and extends up to 12 meters in width, reaching a depth of 3 meters. Designed with both shallow and deep zones, it provides options for paddling, sitting, and swimming.
The magnesium pool provides several health benefits. Scientific research reveals that 65% of the global population is Magnesium deficient. Studies have proven that Magnesium is best absorbed transdermally (through the skin), so you absorb it as you swim. Magnesium is essential for over 300 crucial enzyme reactions and cellular processes in the body. It can aid in detoxification, muscle tension, stress reduction, anxiety relief, alleviation of aches, and improved sleep cycles. Bathing in the mineral-enriched water has been shown to contribute to healthier skin, as magnesium possesses skin softening properties. The mineral content of our pool also helps protect against heavy metals such as aluminum, lead, and mercury, adding another layer of well-being for our guests.
