A DRIFT Retreat is a unique wellbeing experience - we focus on surfing, yoga and delicious nourishing food. our retreats are rooted in community and connection. we believe in retreating with intention — stepping away from the noise so you can return to the world more grounded, more aligned, and more in tune… With your cup full.
On a DRIFT Retreat mother nature dictates the schedule: We usually work around the high tide and conditions of the day. We often start the day with a meditation... Then we might have a yoga session and warm up for surfing. We love to take time to ground in nature and connect to the earth. We love to be outside as much as possible. We love to check in with our bodies and honour how we’re really feeling. We love a smoothie or fresh juice. We love to get in the sea as much as possible and enjoy the scientifically proven benefits of blue mind research helping our nervous system to reset and to relax. We love to share delicious wholesome healthy local organic food grown locally, direct from farm to plate. We love connecting with like-minded people over a delicious meal and sharing good conversation.
Nutritious organic vegetarian food is served for every meal. We aim for as much plant-based and locally sourced as possible. The menu is mostly gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free deliciousness. We cater for all needs: Fill up with healthy fuel needed for your day: Wholesome food made with love. Yoga, surfing and good food are the staple of every retreat and we also have many additional sessions from mindset, confidence in and out of the water, ocean literacy, surf etiquette, sound healing - sound bath sessions. We also have additional creative sessions with special guests from journalling to art sessions and breath-work to underwater training to support calm techniques that help with stress and anxiety. We also offer guided walks, bike rides and swims in secret spots and skateboard sessions on our longer retreats. We always have a reciprocity element to give back to the earth and live in alignment with our core values.
Our retreats
At DRIFT, we honour Mother Earth and our own bodies. We are committed to living consciously, and finding ways to move in harmony with our core values — and with each other.

Our manifesto
At Drift we feel passionately that it is our responsibility to help protect the land as well as the sea. Our ocean playground is a delicate ecosystem, home to millions of species, which we are all interconnected with, through the cycles of life, water, food and breath.
As surfers we have the privilege to enjoy this playground but we don’t want to forget that we are guests in this unique habitat.
The 3 pillars of Permaculture are earth care, people care and fair share, and our Eco Manifesto really expands on the key theme of earth care, helping to outline our ecological ethos, vision and longterm goals. We explore all three pillars of permaculture through our eco guidelines and procedures.
We want to reduce our footprint, and give back where we can - to create regenerative experiences. We commit to using as much local organic food as possible. We try to use as little or no single-use plastic as we can. We offset our guests’ carbon footprint with tree planting or ‘sea trees’ planting kelp to support blue carbon offset. We commit to a reciprocity element with all of our retreats and whether that is beach cleaning or planting locally, we research a way to work with community to give back to Mother Earth in thanks for the gift of our experience.
