1. How does nature improve my well-being?

Spending time in nature significantly lowers cortisol levels, the hormone responsible for stress. Research cited in The Nature Fix shows that even short exposure to natural environments reduces anxiety, improves mood, and boosts overall health. Our retreats are specifically designed to immerse you in these restorative environments, where every element—from birdsong to clean air—works together to help you reset and recharge.

2. Can a retreat enhance my creativity?

Yes! Studies show that nature immersion improves creative problem-solving by up to 50% after just three days. This happens because natural environments reduce cognitive fatigue and stimulate the brain’s default mode network, which fosters idea generation and insight. Our retreats create the ideal conditions for this by combining inspiring landscapes with purposeful activities like guided mindfulness and creative workshops.

3. Why are retreats set in remote locations?

The remoteness of our retreats amplifies the restorative power of nature by minimising distractions like noise, light pollution, and digital interruptions. Research highlights that distance from urban environments enhances mental clarity and promotes a sense of peace. Our locations, such as Bellingen and the Byron hinterlands, are carefully chosen to provide optimal tranquility while still being accessible.

4. How do the nature fix retreats provide mental clarity?

Nature helps the brain recover from information overload by providing “soft fascination”—stimuli like flowing water or rustling leaves that gently engage the mind. This reduces overthinking and allows for mental clarity. Activities like forest bathing and mindful walks at TMPL retreats are designed to maximize this effect, leaving you feeling focused and refreshed.

5. What makes nature retreats scientifically effective?

Our retreats are grounded in the principles explored in The Nature Fix. From the calming effect of birdsong to the mood-boosting impact of natural light, every aspect of your stay is informed by research into nature’s psychological and physiological benefits. Our curated activities, such as meditation in scenic locations, are tailored to deliver measurable improvements in well-being.

6. Do short retreats really make a difference?

Absolutely. Research shows that even 20 minutes in nature can reduce stress hormones by 21%. While longer stays deepen the benefits, short retreats are effective in improving mood, focus, and resilience. Our micro retreats are designed to give you immediate access to nature’s restorative power, no matter how busy your schedule.
