🌏 MELBOURNE β†’ BELLS BEACH & OTWAYs πŸ™οΈ
πŸ“… SUN 22 March, DAY TRIP β˜€οΈ
✨ β€œHike gently. Breathe deeply. Live fully.”
----------------------------
Escape the city and join us for a beautifully balanced day where ocean energy meets forest calm. We begin with an easy coastal-and-forest hike, moving between dramatic clifftops, peaceful bush trails, and open viewpoints. Along the way, we pause for a short meditation and grounding β€” a moment to slow down, breathe, and reconnect.
After the walk, we enjoy a relaxed picnic lunch with a view, featuring a fresh fruit platter and refreshments. The afternoon adds a touch of indulgence with a visit to a chocolate factory, followed by winery stop for scenic views, tastings, and the chance to enjoy wood-fired pizza before our return to Melbourne. A day of good vibes, gentle movement, and shared moments in nature.
