FOR THE
WHO DOES EVERYTHING FOR EVERYONE
You are so much more than "just a mum"
And you are also a woman. You are a human who makes mistakes, feels the full range of emotions, who loves to be silly and play even though she may struggle to find the time anymore. And sometimes you may feel like your kids don't see that you're just as human as they are.
This is for the mum who:
Is ready to fill up her own cup for once with time in nature, amongst community, connecting to her daughter
Wants to show her daughter that she is more than “Mum”, but is also a fun, wise woman who is human. A woman who loves, feels, hurts, and conquers.
Is feeling depleted, burnt out, and unappreciated in her daily life.
Who wants to have more deep, nourishing conversations with her daughter that goes beyond the surface and has more depth.
Who wants to have fun with her daughter and enjoy the magic of being a woman
Is ready to claim back her feminine power! To feel her magnetism, her playfulness, and her intuition.
For the mother wants to go away for the weekend and be filled up in her heart, body, mind and soul.
Wishes her daughter saw her own beauty & worth
Feels like she's competing for her daughter’s attention with her phone.

FOR THE
WHO IS FINDING HER WAY
Being a teenager can be excruciating. Your body is changing, you are learning more about yourself, gaining and losing friends, comparing yourself to strangers on the internet, and somehow have to keep up with your school work and figure out what you will do after high school. I hear you, it's a lot at once!
This is for the girl who:
Looks in the mirror and sees mostly flaws
Wants to feel more confident and comfortable in her body as it changes
Has spent nights awake worrying about what others are thinking or saying about her
Wants to be taught things that will help her after high school. Less trigonometry, more life skills
Is afraid to ask for help out of fear of being a burden
Doesn’t quite feel like her friends are the best match
Wants to make a difference in the world
Has a big heart and loves to show others that she cares
Wants to understand what her strengths are, what she brings to the world, and how she is already making a positive impact.
She remembered who she was and the game changed.
Hi, I'm Hazel!
I am a women's empowerment & embodiment mentor and an outdoor educator who specialises in working with teenage girls.
Over the past 5 years I have deeply immersed myself in personal development and coaching. I use this experience to help my students overcome the social pressure and limiting beliefs they are experiencing in their lives so that they can feel more confidence, connection, and self approval.
After running events and retreats in America, I am excited to be bringing this event to our beautiful part of the world, North East Victoria!
I am a free spirited wild woman. I have lived in different countries and kayaked with whales. I lived in a converted mini bus by the ocean for a summer and I have spent winters enjoying the ski fields.
I’m often described as someone who makes others feel comfortable, because they know that I won't judge them, their situations, or their decisions. This allows me to get deep with my students, helping them see the root cause of their worries and work through them together.
I want girls & women to feel:
CONFIDENT
MAGNETIC
STRONG
CONNECTED
LOVED
WORTHY

What you will
walk away with
Whether you and your daughter are thick as thieves, or struggling on the daily, you will walk away with tools to help you communicate to one another without causing arguments.
As a mum, you will walk away feeling replenished after a weekend of incredible food, mindful movement, and heart opening connections. You will head home with a full cup and new friendships that will support you through both the highs and the lows, because motherhood was never meant to be done alone.
Your daughter will leave the retreat feeling more confidence in herself and her body. Armed with the knowledge that her period isn't a burden, that it's okay to rest, and that time away from her screen can bring her more connection, she will be ready to walk back into her routine with boundaries, compassion, and acceptance.
After this retreat your relationship with one another will be both deeper, and stronger, because a new line of communication will have been opened.. You will be able to talk about things that have been difficult in the past, and you will both hold on to these memories and lessons long after she has finished school and moved onto her next big adventure.
Location
Our retreat will be held at the foot of Mount Buffalo just one hour from Wangaratta.
Dreaming of the Buckland, has a large 4 bedroom home with a kitchen where our chef will be preparing and serving your meals, as well as a yoga studio, and two private cottages.
With decking offering stunning views up and down the beautiful Buckland Valley, you will happily take a seat in the morning while you take in the view soaring over the billabong & towards Mt Buffalo.
In your down time you can take a stroll to visit the sheep, alpaca, and horses, or wander through the property to the Buckland River.
What to expect
A rough outline of what our weekend could look like
FRIDAY - CONNECTION
Arrival at Dreaming of the Buckland is between 3-5pm. You will be welcomed to the land and given time to settle into your beautiful room for the weekend, followed by our first nourishing meal and an opening ceremony to set intentions so that you can make the most out of your weekend and a truly magical experience.
SATURDAY - CONFIDENCE
We will begin this day with a breath work class ran by Mandy Lake from Azraya Breath, followed by a nourishing breakfast in the main house. Our days will be ran intuitively based on the weather and needs of the group, but during the day we will have an outing into nature as well as group activities facilitated by Hazel, with some together, and some with the teens and mums separate.
SUNDAY - COMMUNITY
Enjoy a sunrise yoga class with Zilky and a wholesome breakfast, before we get into out last day of fun!
After a morning of guided connection we will enjoy our last meal together before our uplifting closing ceremony that will send you and your daughter home feeling seen, worthy, refreshed, and inspired.

questions
Frequently asked
CAN I TAKE MY NEICE/ GRANDDAUGHTER/ DEPENDENT?
Of course! Our retreat is for any pair with a mother-daughter type relationship. We don't mind whether you come with a biological daughter, or someone you care for. Sometimes our family is who we are born into, and sometimes it is who we are blessed to find later on.
WHAT IF MY DAUGHTER DOESN'T WANT TO COME?
We understand that going on a weekend away with your mother would sound like great fun for some girls, but not for others. If you would love to come along but are struggling to get your daughter on board, why not come with friends? Call up the mums of your daughters friends and see if any of them would like to come too. There is even a wonderful room attached to the yoga studio that can sleep two pairs if you all want to room together! Whether you get friends to join you or not, we know that you and your daughter will make amazing connections at this retreat and it can be so beautiful doing personal development with strangers (who quickly become friends).
MY TEEN IS TRANS/NON-BINARY, CAN THEY STILL COME?
Of course! We welcome all young women, trans women, and non-binary beauties. We will have a session on the menstrual cycle, but a lot of what we speak about when it comes to being a woman is about feminine energy, which everyone has regardless of the gender they were assigned at birth. If your child is in the process of transitioning, then we would love to support you and them through that process, by giving you a safe space to deepen your connection and understanding of each other.
DO YOU HAVE PAYMENT PLANS?
Yes! We currently have 2 payment options, either you can pay in full, or you can pay in 3 monthly instalments. However, if you would prefer to pay in smaller weekly/fortnightly increments to coincide with your income, we can make that work. Simply get in contact with us through info@youngwomenwithpurposeaus.com and we can set up a payment link for you.
