Led by Mars Gossi, IMMERSE Retreat aims to inspire and revitalise.

We will share our days exploring and deepening our understanding of yoga, mindful practices, mantra, breathwork and more. You’ll also have plenty of free time to relax and be with yourself, enjoy nature and make beautiful connections. Join this unique experience and take a pause from daily life so you can cultivate greater awareness for living a more joyful radiant yoga-filled life. This is an intimate retreat with limited spots.

Retreat Setting: The Cove, Denmark

Our home away from home is The Cove, set on 24 hectares of native karri, tingle and jarrah forest on the edge of Wilson Inlet in Denmark. Stay in one of 5 craftsman-build self-contained shared chalets with options for shared and solo rooms. The Cove is not a luxurious retreat venue. We’ve purposefully chosen a rustic natural setting to awaken a humbling and grounding experience. Enjoy bushwalks on the property, or follow the Bibbulman Track along the inlet. Sit in contemplation at The Cove’s private beach or you’re just a short drive away from Denmark town and some of Denmark’s most beautiful beaches including Light’s Beach and Greens Pool/Elephant Rocks.

Retreat Shala: A Frame Chalet

Our Shala is a beautiful A Frame wooden structure with views of the forest. We’ll also make the most of the natural environment and head outside for some activities. The A Frame Chalet is also where we will share group meals.

Shared Chalet Accommodation & Pricing

All Chalets offer beautiful forest views and includes linen, a fully equipped kitchen, shared living spaces, fireplace, bathroom(s), washing machine and more. All Accommodation is shared, however some places allow you to have your own room in a Shared Chalet or share a room in a Shared Chalet. As we plan to hire the entire venue, every effort has been made to spread all guests across the various Chalets. This means if you are sharing a room, you will only be sharing with one other person. If you would like to share with a friend, please let us know at the time of booking. Spots will be allocated on a first come first serve basis, however we may have to adjust room allocations depending on final numbers. If retreat sales do not allow us to hire the entire venue, we may have to adjust the number of guests sharing in a Shared Chalet room. Thank you for understanding.

Pricing is inclusive of Retreat Program, Accommodation, all Meals and GST. A $250 non refundable deposit is required to secure your booking. Choose from Five Pricing Options:

Retreat Living: Silence & Communal Help

On Retreat, we invite you to practice Silence from the moment you wake until Breakfast. We also invite Silence from 9pm.

We ask that you wash your own cutlery and crockery after every meal. Please always be mindful of how you use and leave any shared communal spaces, such as living areas, kitchens and bathrooms.

Unplug

You’re invited to unplug during the entire duration of the retreat to get the most out of the experience. If you would like to hand in your electronics at the start of the retreat, you are welcome to do so. The Cove Hosts Susan and Illya will be our emergency contact, should your family or friends need to reach you. You are also welcome to self manage how you unplug. No judgments will be made. If you choose not to unplug, please keep your phone use to a minimum during group meals and during practice.

The Weather

Late February welcomes warm weather during the day but you can still expect cooler nights. Denmark has an Average Daily High of 25C and an Average Daily Low of 17C. As we are on the Southern Coast there is always a chance for rain, so be prepared!

Your Teacher

Mars Gossi is your Retreat Leader, and the Director and Founder of Shala Yoga Collective and Shala Yoga Bunbury. Her first experience of yoga retreats was in 2014 when she spent 6 months volunteering at two world famous retreat centers in Italy and Thailand. Falling in love with their transformative nature, she began guiding them in 2017 during a three year position at another world famous retreat centre in Portugal. Since returning to Australia in 2020, Mars has shared yoga retreats in Bali and locally, however she spends most of her time running and teaching at her Bunbury studio.

Mars is inspired by nature, Eastern philosophy, ancient culture and the human experience. Mars’ personal yoga and spiritual journey began some 20 years ago, empowering her to shift away the clouds of depression and anxiety to build a more positive compassionate relationship with herself. The practice has allowed her to move through life with greater presence, confidence and trust. Mars began her journey with Ashtanga Vinyasa, before exploring the vast ocean of yoga, movement, mindful and holistic practices. She’s completed over 500hrs of yoga teacher trainings and has spent many years studying in India and abroad. Mars is passionate about sharing her unique gifts with the world and serving her soul purpose.

She lives between Bunbury and Cowaramup with her partner and dog.
