NOURISH in NATURE

With Vanessa Caruso & Phillipa Joy

Saturday 14th & Sunday 15th November 2026

Following the beautiful response to our Nidra & Nourish series, we knew we wanted to take the experience a little further.

So this time, we are taking Nidra & Nourish into nature.

Nourish in Nature is an intimate overnight experience at Clontopia, bringing together the heart of what we have created through Nidra & Nourish, inspired by the wisdom of Ayurveda and created to explore nourishment beyond the physical body.

An opportunity to stay a little longer and slow the pace, surrounded by nature.

What does it mean to feel truly nourished?

Nourishment can come in many forms. Through the food we eat, the way we rest, the company we keep, our connection with nature and the space we allow ourselves to simply be.

Drawing on the philosophy of the five koshas, or layers of our being, we will explore what it means to nourish ourselves physically, energetically, mentally, emotionally and on a deeper level.

Vanessa and Phillipa have thoughtfully created this experience so that the nourishment isn’t something you need to seek out. It’s woven into the weekend itself.

Nourish in Nature is an opportunity to experience what it feels like to be cared for and to receive nourishment in all its forms. We will take care of the rest!

About Clontopia

Nestled in the hills of Clonbinane in regional Victoria, just over an hour North of Melbourne, Clontopia is a place created for slowing down, gathering and reconnecting with nature. Surrounded by rugged bushland, open skies and the sounds of the Australian landscape, Clontopia is a haven to Nourish, Reset & Connect, where you can wander the land, sit by the water or find a quiet spot to simply take it all in.

For Nourish in Nature, Clontopia becomes more than the setting. It’s part of the experience itself.

Your Nourish in Nature experience includes:

• A seasonal Ayurvedic ‘Taste’ dinner experience prepared by Phillipa
• A deeply restorative Yoga Nidra experience with Vanessa
• Time to wander, rest and immerse yourself in the natural surrounds of Clontopia
• Guided practices: stretch, breath & sound with Phillipa and Vanessa
• Space for connection, conversation and quiet time
• All meals, snacks and beverages

Everything offered throughout the weekend is optional. You are welcome to join in as much or as little as feels right for you.
