We support mothers and their children in reconnecting deeply, unplugging from the everyday, and building lifelong bonds through guided, tech-free retreats.
Based in the Macedon Ranges, Victoria, Encompassed creates thoughtfully designed mother-and-child retreats held across both Metro and Regional Victoria.
What is Encompassed?
Encompassed was created by two sisters, mothers and lifelong friends who know how easy it is to lose connection in the rush of daily life.
Our retreats are designed to help mothers and their children step away from screens, routines and noise, and rediscover time, laughter and connection together in nature.
What to expect from our retreats and workshops:
-
Tech-free, back-to-nature environment
-
Facilitated by qualified and experienced practitioners
-
Open to mothers with daughters, sons or siblings aged approximately 7–14 years old
-
Small, supportive groups for authentic connection
-
Safe, inclusive and fully supervised activities
Upcoming Events

Why Encompassed Programs Work
Each retreat and workshop is designed and facilitated by Encompassed founders Amanda and Kristy, sisters with over 40 years’ combined experience in education, behavioural support, and child development.
Their practical backgrounds in social welfare, counselling, and teaching mean every activity is guided by a purpose: to rebuild communication, trust, and confidence between parent and child.
These retreats and workshops balance structure with freedom. Guided connection sessions and group activities are paired with unstructured time to explore, rest, and enjoy being together, free from screens and everyday pressure.
If you’re unsure whether a retreat is right for you, we welcome your questions. Amanda and Kristy are always happy to chat and help you understand what to expect, so you can feel confident that this experience will truly meet your needs.
