Athil, Natalie, Rajan, Yara, and Vilnis are truly beautiful souls who have created something very special at Thrive. I stayed for a month, and I genuinely loved every moment of it. My tasks mainly included cleaning, housekeeping, painting, installing furniture, and helping with cooking during the retreat. Thrive is surrounded by peaceful bushland, making it the perfect place to reflect, breathe, and be present. If you're looking for a meaningful volunteer experience in a beautiful natural setting, I can’t recommend Thrive enough. I left feeling grounded and grateful.

i stayed here for a week as a volunteer and honestly wish i had more time to volunteer a bit longer! if you’re someone who appreciates stillness and nature, this place is right for you. 🍃 most of the work was housekeeping and kitchen help.

athill and natalie are super kind and the space they’ve built is special. i was able to join a yoga session on the weekend and a meditation morning as well. appreciate it!! and oh, i’ll definitely miss the best warm chais!!! thank you again for the lovely experience ☺️🤍

I had the most wonderful week with Athill, Natalie and the other volunteers! It was a truly nurturing environment where I was made to feel incredibly supported and comfortable. As someone who has never been to Australia before, I feel so grateful to have landed here. It is a remote place, but the nature is beautiful and it was nice to be able to sit outside by the fire in the evenings. The work consisted mostly of housekeeping, cooking prep and outdoor chores. I was able to join in several yoga classes on the weekends and overall, I couldn't recommend it more! 🩷

This is a wonderful yoga retreat about an hour and a half away from Syd. You'll need your own car to get there but Athil is also happy to pick you up from the station (which was very kind). Unfortunately I left much earlier as I was not a good fit for the place but if you're well versed in yoga and meditation this is the place for you!
