Words, Wisdom & Wonder
The kind of weekend that rewrites you (in a good way).
Escape to the Gold Coast Hinterland for a long weekend of reflection, storytelling, and meaningful connection — in conversation with Leigh Sales.
We’re talking fireside chats, long lunches, gentle creativity, and the kind of conversations that meander beautifully, all set against the backdrop of rolling hills and crisp hinterland air. There’ll be stories, laughter, quiet moments, and, yes, wine.
If you’ve ever wanted to hit pause and reconnect (with yourself, with others, with the good stuff), this is your invitation. It’s a Chat10 retreat and it’s going to be something really special.
Gold Coast Hinterland: August 15–18, 2025

Testimonials
“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.”
