A Grown Up’s Gap Year Retreat – The Whitsundays 2026

THE WHITSUNDAYS 2026 | Expressions of Interest Now Open

Reinvigoration. Real-life escape. And a three-day/four-night circuit breaker for women ready to put themselves back in the picture.

Join Monique van Tulder – bestselling author, nutritionist, health and wellness coach, and creator of A Grown Up’s Gap Year – for a wellbeing retreat in one of Australia’s most breathtaking natural playgrounds: The Whitsundays.

This is not a yoga camp or a silent detox – although selected wellbeing professionals will facilitate sessions.
It’s a practical reset. A beautiful pause
A place to rethink the second (or third) act of your life – with salt in your hair, clarity in your mind, and a warm, smart circle of women by your side. Oh, and it’s FUN!

✧ SAMPLE RETREAT PROGRAM ✧

THE PRACTICAL:

THE FUN + CHALLENGING:

Nature-led reset

• Eat real food, fresh air, and space to think again. Plenty of time to rest!

“Travelling with Monique was inspiring. Her sense of adventure gently took me out of my comfort zone. I now have excitement and purpose for my mid-life.
