The Big Exhale
Whitehouse on the Water
The Big Exhale is a small wellbeing retreat at a private waterfront house on the bay at Corlette, Port Stephens, for busy, capable people who can't switch off and have noticed that a holiday no longer fixes it.
The retreat runs for 4 days and 3 nights with no more than 12 guests. Day places are available on select dates for locals from Port Stephens and Newcastle.
Each day is unhurried. Guests sleep well, swim in the bay, share long lunches around one table, and twice a day take part in gentle sessions of restorative yoga, breathwork and simple practices to use at home. The weekend includes a headland walk with dolphin watching and plenty of time on and by the water. No experience is needed.
All meals are included, along with transfers from Newcastle Airport for residential guests.
The retreat is hosted by Anna Lou Scaife, a trauma informed, ICF accredited coach who spent 25 years building London jewellery brand Anna Lou of London, stocked in Harrods and Liberty.
The Big Exhale runs the week before Sail Port Stephens, making it a calm start to a busy fortnight on the bay.
