WHY YOU NEED TO BE AT ONE OF OUR
URBAN POP-UP RETREATS
Take a pause. Find some space.
JUST BE!
As busy-ness, change and complexity increase, so too, do feelings of hopelessness, dis-engagement, apathy, anxiety and overwhelm- a correlation supported by global research.
At Equinox Journey, we are passionate about providing as many opportunities as possible, for as many people as possible, to experience magical a-ha moments that bring hope, energy, creativity, calm and joy into their lives again.
It's really as simple as stepping off the treadmill for just one day, to re-connect with ourselves, to spend joyful, quality time, to re-charge and ignite that spark again.
If you want to show up in the best way...
...for your family, friends, colleagues, community – and most of all for yourself, you need to intentionally recharge.
No-one else is going to do it for you.
We have made it our mission to create the spaces, steps and support to enable you to do just this.

Your space to retreat needs to be calming, relaxing, informal, beautiful and inviting to all – and that is what we work hard to ensure!

EXPERT SUPPORT
Your hosts, Paula Brown and Leigh Johnson are, between them: certified Integral Life Coaches, mindfulness and meditation practitioners, a yoga teacher, expert process facilitators, a Masters student, moms, wives, friends, dog-lovers, entrepreneurs, wine connoisseurs (or is that just ‘drinkers!), change-makers, passionate learners…and two human beings who are absolutely whole-heartedly committed to catalising a-ha moments that help others (YOU!) live your life on purpose and with all you have to offer to this world.
Learning and Leadership Specialist, Integral Coach, Learning Designer, Facilitator & Writer
Leigh Johnson
What would it be like to live and work in a way that honoured everyone and the planet? In a way that would make each moment, for everybody, everywhere be filled with awe and shivers of joy?
Pretty amazing, right? Completely impossible? Probably! But I'm tired of seeing the opposite and so I'm determined to bring more hope and happiness into my tiny orbit. Starting with YOU!
Integral Life, Business, Executive and
Transformation Coach
Paula Brown
I am an entrepreneur by nature, an ex-CEO, and an integral life and business coach by trade. For 30 years my focus was on leading and working with great thinkers, dreamers and creators. Today my work is less about financial targets and deadlines and more about human beings and what can help them thrive. As a coach and mindfulness practitioner, I work with everyday people, leaders and entrepreneurs, supporting them in making wise decisions, being kind, navigating discomfort and, ultimately, living their best lives. This is how we change the world, one AHA moment at a time, from the inside out.
We keep our groups small to make sure that you have a restful, focused and personal experience – so book your monthly retreats NOW to avoid disappointment!
