Unplug, Reflect & Reconnect
A Chatters’ Retreat with our fearless leader, Leigh Sales
A boutique, cheeky, and very festive long weekend designed especially for our Chat 10 Looks 3 community. Surrounded by the beauty of the Adelaide Hills, this retreat brings together conversation, curiosity, and connection, all with a good dash of local wine. Expect enriching sessions, spontaneous laughter, and a weekend where words flow freely and worries take a back seat.
There’ll be fireside chats, brilliant minds, excellent cheese, and the kind of easy company that feels like an exhale. Whether you're coming solo or with a fellow Chatter, you’ll leave with a full heart, a clearer mind, and maybe a new favourite pinot.
Adelaide Hills: November Friday 21 – Monday 24, 2025
Location: Sequoia Lodge & Mount Lofty House -
Tuscan Table: A Culinary Retreat
The kind of week that feeds your soul (and your appetite).
Escape to the rolling hills of Tuscany for six glorious days of hands-on culinary adventures, local secrets, and the simple pleasure of gathering around a shared table with other like-minded people from around the globe.
We’re talking flour-dusted fingers, sun-drenched vineyards, the scent of truffles in the forest, and markets brimming with seasonal treasures. You’ll swirl Sangiovese under expert guidance, roll pici pasta like a true Sienese nonna, and discover that olive oil can be as complex as fine wine.
If you’ve ever dreamed of living la dolce vita (slowing down, savouring each moment, and connecting through the universal language of food), this is your invitation. It’s a retreat woven with flavour, laughter, and unforgettable Tuscan hospitality.
Tuscany, Italy: Thursday 23 - Wednesday 29 April 2026
Location: Antico Macchione -
Return to the Wild
When was the last time you felt truly wild (in the best possible way)?
Next August, we’re heading to Munga Plains in Botswana with Kate Kendall for a sacred journey into the wild. It’s a place where golden savannahs, soulful rituals, and immersive safari experiences invite you to reconnect with your truest self.
Explore the raw beauty of Botswana through immersive safari experiences across Chobe National Park, where elephants, lions, leopards, buffalo, giraffes, and countless other species move freely through the landscape, creating unforgettable moments in the wild.
Within each of us lies a place that is untouched, sacred, and wild.
This retreat is your invitation to return to it.
Botswana: August 22–29, 2026
Location: Munga Plains
Testimonials - Tuscany Retreat
“I knew I wanted to write another book but I was deep in writers block – until I spent 5 days on the most glorious writing retreat in Tuscany with Nourish Travel. I don’t know if it was the gorgeous house and landscape, the incredible writing teacher Lisa, the chef who made the most delicious foods, the morning yoga, the other phenomenal women or that Mandi simply was able to create such a beautiful space for inspiration to happen. By the end of the five days I had written my first chapter, started on my next two and was officially unblocked. I’m excited that the book I started in Tuscany all those months ago, will now be released in February 2026! Thank you so much to Mandi and the team for creating space for this unblocking and inspiring to be awakened. Cannot wait to come back to another one.”
“Mandi, I commend your absolute dedication to building a wonderful business and am so thankful for the opportunity to attend such an inspiring retreat. You provided an incredibly nurturing space for rest and repair with enormous integrity. What a beautiful experience!”
“The retreat was amazing. We were all made to feel so cared for and nurtured. The villa was stunning and very comfortable. Our days were beyond relaxing yet they flew by. The meals were delicious, and our chef was beyond excellent. Mandi, Cally & Kate were a brilliant team - thank you for an unforgettable week.”
“I attended the yoga and meditation retreat with my two sisters. We live at opposite ends of the world. It was the most incredible journey, both personally and together, and we learned so much from breathwork and journaling to cooking and wine tasting! What an incredible group of women that I can now call friends. The property and management are very personal, warm and caring. I am so glad I went and cannot wait to repeat this amazing experience.”
“What an incredible experience and I would highly recommend Nourish Travel. The stay was organised to perfection, and I felt renewed after just one day at the beautiful Villa Macchione. The yoga and mindfulness sessions were exceptional, and the meals were delicious. Thank you for such a memorable week and experience!”
“It was my first writer’s retreat. I had a great time discovering how to unblock my writing and as well relax and enjoy the beautiful Tuscany landscape. The yoga sessions were excellent, the food was excellent and the overall organisation of the retreat was above my expectations. Thank you for the great time I had and for being outstanding in terms of taking care of everybody’s needs, and doing it all with love.”
“Loved this retreat. I had never considered going on a retreat, it was a spur of the moment decision, but so glad I did. I came home feeling inspired and refreshed. The care shown to provide a quality experience by Mandi, Cally and Riccardo was shown in all the small details. Highly recommend Nourish Travel.”
Testimonials - Gold Coast Retreat
“The retreat of retreats - fun, friendship and a little bit of magic. Mandi’s unique blend of lush, generosity and groundedness delivers an experience that is wholly refreshing. And the best part is you return home not just rejuvenated, but with a broader friendship circle.”
“Nourish is the perfect word for Mandi’s retreats in all respects: mind, body and soul. Amazing people, food, drinks, place and care. Even as an incurable introvert, I found the experience left me with an unexpectedly lasting calm and clarity. 10/10 would recommend.”
“An exceptionally well curated experience that blended indulgence, learning and luxury with the company of extraordinary people.”
“Amazing retreat, special people, luxurious accommodation, spectacular views. I loved every minute!”
“My Nourish Chatter retreat experience was extraordinary - above my expectation. Mandi and her team ticked every box. It was luxurious, personal and friendly without being intrusive. Plenty of choices with activities, food and friendships to cultivate. Thanks to everyone involved.”
A remarkable experience of human connection. My cheeks hurt from laughing. The conversations were challenging and funny and brilliant. It was like finding your tribe instantly and never wanting to leave them.
What an experience! The wonderful women, the stunning location and the beautiful gifts! And Leigh’s generosity and insights - just wonderful. If you’re thinking maybe, just say YES!!
