Reset your rhythm by the sea this winter

This winter, Elements of Byron invites you to rediscover balance with our new Wellness Reset Retreats in Byron Bay, curated in collaboration with leading movement and mindset expert Odette Blacklock.

Taking place across three weekends — 13–15 June (to align with World Wellness Day on 14 June), 11–13 July, and 15–17 August — these immersive health retreats offer a refreshing, science-based approach to wellness, supported by Byron Bay’s natural rhythms and our signature barefoot luxury.

Why Choose a Wellness Retreat in Byron Bay This Winter?

Winter is the ideal season for rest and recalibration — and our Byron Bay wellness retreats are designed to help you do just that. Nestled on 50 acres of beachfront bushland, Elements of Byron offers a uniquely tranquil setting to support physical vitality and mental clarity.

With demand growing for purpose-driven wellness travel, we’re proud to offer a retreat that blends movement, breathwork, and evidence-based seminars in one restorative, small-group experience.

Reset. Recharge. Optimise.

Led by Odette Blacklock — an experienced health science practitioner and 2024 World Champion Masters 70m Beach Sprint titleholder — each Winter Wellness Retreat offers the tools and techniques to reset your nervous system, enhance physical resilience, and support mindful living.

Retreat Highlights Include:

• Guided morning breathwork and movement sessions, from beach to rainforest

• Functional workshops to improve strength, posture and mobility

• Science-backed talks on stress recovery, energy regulation and nervous system health

• Evening movement and music, designed to release tension and encourage connection

• Daily buffet breakfast

• Wellness morning tea and lunch on retreat day

“This isn’t about pushing harder,” says Odette. “It’s about reconnecting with your body’s natural intelligence, moving with purpose, and creating sustainable wellbeing practices in a supportive space.”

Odette Blacklock: More Than a Wellness Facilitator

Odette’s credentials span sports science, rehabilitation, and stress performance — but her story runs deeper. From surviving a career-threatening ankle injury to dominating the world stage in sprinting, her resilience shapes every session she leads. She’s also competed on Survivor Australia and completed gruelling ultra events in Death Valley, giving her a lived understanding of endurance, adaptability, and recovery.
