This retreat is curated to foster connection, bringing together like-minded individuals for a truly metamorphic experience. We believe that sharing yoga, meals, ideas, and laughteR is essential to fulfilling our most primal need — To Connect.
Just like a cocoon, this retreat will encapsulate both inner and outer transformation. to change our lives, we must first change ourselves, by facing our personal truths and reconciling who we are. what better time than a cold Melbourne winter to deepen this journey of self discovery.
We welcome solo or group travellers. Our guarantee is that you leave with a community of new friends that last a lifetime.
Your destination
SHOREHAM, Mornington Peninsula
Where the bush meets the sea. Located in the charming coastal setting of Shoreham, you are only a short drive away from many of the Peninsula's quality vineyards and cafes.
A highlight is the proximity to Shoreham beach and the foreshore reserve. A short 100m walk to the beach offers a wide stretch of sand and views across to Phillips Island. Watch or join-in the surfing off the exposed ‘Atlas’ point break.
Atlas Retreat is a hidden luxury refuge that draws strength & serenity from its extraordinary surroundings. Rejuvenating, peaceful and authentic, this is Victoria as it should be.

See it on the map here. Shoreham is on the Mornington Peninsula and just a short 1hr drive from Melbourne. Our retreat venue is right on the beach with a perfect little surf break known as Pines. If you're into surfing, bring your board along.

You're welcome to arrive from 3pm onwards if you have the luxury, however we won't officially kick off until 5pm. Keep in mind it is about 1hr from Melbourne but can take a little longer in Friday traffic. Take that Friday 4pm meeting from the road anyone!? 😜

"yoga with Zoe is so much more than just the yoga practice. It's a wholesome experience. The classes flows seamlessly. Zoe has an energy that is an absolute pleasure to be around. She is kind and considerate, but is also down for a good time or a mid flow boogie. You won't regret any experience with Zoe, whether is a class or a week long retreat. Do it!"

"First and foremost I just want to say a big thank you to Zoe for facilitating the most warm, cosy, wholesome and soul nourishing retreat. I went into this weekend with the intention of feeling more present because prior to arriving, I had been feeling disconnected, distracted and really lacking clarity. Zoe's passion for the work she does is unmatched, her thought provoking words are what enabled me to really dive deep inside and unpack some emotions that i'd let build up. The stay at Atlas Retreat was gorgeous, I felt so comfortable and the food was so yummy. I personally loved the fire pit exercise, that practice felt particularly powerful and the final day doing the hot and cold immersion was such a brilliant way to end. I left feeling on such a beautiful high, the connections between the guests that were formed was really lovely and I look forward to hopefully reconnecting in the not too distant future. if you're wondering whether I left feeling more present, I 100% did and I am motivated to carry this same energy into the my day to day life.”

"Zoe’s Winter Cocoon Retreat was a weekend of connection, practice and self-love. I felt completely at peace to deepen my yoga practice while feeling inspired by Zoe’s teachings and philosophies. As someone who struggles to switch off and prioritise my needs, the retreat brought a sense of calm I hadn’t experienced for a long time. I made space for my physical and mental health - better late than never! Amazing location and accommodation, delicious food, and a house full of inspiring women!”

“The yoga retreat Zoe ran in Shoreham was devine!! Highly recommend for anyone seeking solice and an opportunity to fill their cup. The venue was very modern, clean & comfortable - providing the perfect environment to relax but also allowing self exploration and discovery of life's untapped possibilities . Zoe was very attentive to all the details that made the experience exceptional. I left with a more open mind, feeling calm & connected to myself & the friends who joined me on the retreat. Thanks Zoe for creating such a nuturing experience that was perfect food for the soul. Speaking of food the vegetarian fare was delish!
