Some special retreats on the farm

September 6, 2025

There’s always a special feeling here when there’s a retreat on, just the fact that someone has chosen us as the place that they want to create their special offering .

Each one is different and uses the spaces to create just the vibe that they are after.

A relaxing yoga retreat

Ann Dragon form North Perth Yoga Room runs an Easter yoga retreat each year, privatising the whole site for her group, she brings a cook with her who sets up in the camp kitchen and runs three classes a day in the barn. Ann encourages a relaxed atmosphere sitting around the campfire at night, music, a glass of wine and shared a meal. Yoga classes are available but not compulsory and sometimes people choose to go to the beach or just lie around and read. I’ve attended some of Ann’s yoga classes and she’s a great teacher, catering for everyone’s diverse needs.

On one of the days they go out to a local restaurant for lunch then on the final night I cater a meal for the group (all from the garden of course!). This is the best way to enjoy the Easter break away from all the madness.

At Ann Dragon’s easter Retreat it’s all about the relaxed atmosphere (while getting some fabulous yoga classes)

“Fair Harvest is an extraordinary location and yoga venue because its run ethically and gives back to nature.  Jodie and Do are professional, caring and fun to work with. We’re five years in and look forward every year to returning to our favourite get-away’Ann Dragon

Take time in nature with Ian Hackett Lama Sonam form Tig-le House

We have had a long working relationship with Ian whose deep connection with the country we live on and the community we live in is the core of his life and work.

Ian’s teachings encourage students to be mindful in every part of their lives, and loves integrating his retreat weekends with daily life at Fair Harvest.

Participants camp if they wish and share the facilities with other campers, they take time in nature between mindfulness sessions or relax in the gardens and campground. Ian’s retreats connect people to the land, the wildlife and the bush. Ian also teaches bushland restoration on our Permaculture Design Certificate Course as well as introducing ways for students to care for themselves in their permaculture design.

Ian Hackett Lama Sonam’s retreat’s give participants a deeper understanding of their connection to place

Fair Harvest has continually provided a balance of professionalism, environmental sustainability, along with accessibility and goodwill that aligns with the values of our group.Their grassroots community involvement, the intergenerational nature of their farming family, along with a deep ecologically responsible stewardship provides a model example and an ideal setting for community health and wellness.Ian Hackett

A silent retreat that nurture’s the soul

Focusing inward in silent gratitude and observation Amber’s retreats invite people to come for quiet meditation, yin yoga, sound meditation and cranial massage. Not everyone camps onsite but we make sure that those that do are in a secluded corner of the campground, as all of their meals are catered by us the guests have the cafe area to themselves where we have plenty of books and cosy corners.

On the last meal when the silence is broken, it is always so special to receive thanks form the group who are quietly glowing from the nurturing they have received during the time out from their busy lives.

Amber’s always creates an atmosphere of quite beauty so the group can sink into their meditation surrounded by soft light, sound bowls and clarity.
