Winter Solstice Yoga Retreat
20-22 June 2025
Trentham, Victoria
Just as the sun begins it’s gradual return to the Southern hemisphere, the winter solstice is the perfect time to rest, pause and reflect. Please join Amanda Hartzler Ferris and friends at Casas Allegra and Andante in Trentham, Victoria for a peaceful country weekend retreat.
Together we’ll enjoy a balance of quiet times and connection, particularly around the table where we will be served fresh and delicious meals by our private, in-house chef, Aliza Strock.
Our Venue
Surrounded by large and peaceful country gardens, Casa Allegra and Casa Andante are the perfect venue for our weekend away. The two houses share a light-filled and spacious yoga studio with garden views.
Each house has 5 bedrooms and can accommodate up to ten people. Bedrooms can be made up as one king size bed or with long singles for twin share.
At Casa Allegra, two bedrooms have en-suites and three share a bathroom and an additional toilet. At Casa Andante all five bedrooms have en-suites.
