Join us for our upcoming one-day Spring Retreat
Spring Equinox Retreat - September 24th, 2023
Celebrate the arrival of Spring and renew your body, mind and soul in this day-long, nurturing retreat held at a luxury hideaway.
Spring represents new life, light, new beginnings and growth. We are excited to offer this nourishing retreat, held during the Spring Equinox - a powerful point of stillness to gather, recharge and set intentions for the warmer months ahead.
Take time out to mother yourself amongst a group of like-minded women, engage in ancient practices of awareness and ignite your creative spark. Yoga, meditation & ceremonial offerings will provide opportunities to replenish and connect deeply with ourselves. Situated in the rolling green hills of Pullenvale, Temple Retreat offers 10 acres of private, natural surrounds - the perfect setting for our day of creative wellbeing.
Renew, refresh and mother yourself - both inside & out.

Attendee Cancellation Policy
The Spring Equinox Retreat is a boutique retreat. To make your experience as tailored and personal as possible, the retreats are limited to a maximum of 16 women.
If you choose to cancel, having another woman replace your cancellation becomes less likely as we come closer to a retreat date. My cancellation policy reflects this.
COVID-19 - If the COVID situation in Australia warrants the cancellation of events due to restrictions imposed by government or the hosting resort, 100% of your tuition will be refunded, or you may transfer the full amount to a future event or retreat.
Sonja Mapleston Retreats do not offer full refunds. However, part of your payment may be used as credit for another retreat or online course to be taken within two years of your original retreat date.
The cancellation schedule is below:
• Cancelling 15 – 31 days before your 1-day retreat start date, 40% of your payment may be applied to another Retreat. You will forfeit 60% of the price of your retreat.
• Cancelling 14 days or less before your retreat start date, you will forfeit your entire payment.
Credits are not offered for a participant arriving late or leaving early.
Sonja Mapleston Cancellation Policy
In the unlikely circumstance that Sonja Mapleston has no option but to cancel a retreat, you may transfer your full retreat payment to another retreat or online course, or request a refund of your tuition payment, constituting a full settlement.
