Time to come home to the truest version of you.
If you’ve been craving real change — the kind that starts in your body and radiates through your life — this retreat is your invitation.
Let go.
Breathe deep.
Connect in a way that feels real.
Breathe deep.
Because you don’t have to carry it all anymore.

The Landscape is your guide
Its open spaces, its mountains and creeks,
so let it take you on a journey of remembering.
We have become adept at detaching from our surroundings, have learnt to avoid the uncomfortable.
Let us guide you through the meeting of those places, the places in you that have held these values and beliefs.
The stories and memories of the past that are currently shaping you
and the way you see the world around you.
An empowering weekend
This 3 day retreat is designed to refresh your mind, body, and spirit.
Shed old expectations, beliefs, and values, and learn to foster a sense of freedom and a renewed connection with others.
Participating in guided processes throughout the weekend will help you gain awareness of your body & enhance your ability to implement positive change in your life. This newfound awareness and the skills learned can lead to a more harmonious flow in daily life, ultimately leaving you feeling empowered to make meaningful changes in your everyday interactions and environment.
Throughout this immersive experience, Lesley & Jill will guide you through a unique journey of self-discovery and healing.

Discover the Power of Connection through Horses!
Horses are an essential part of "The Space", offering a unique gift that can help us create change by shedding light on what's needed to be seen. They have the power to reveal what we need to see, illuminate our paths, and inspire us to create positive change. Working with them at liberty gives them full autonomy and choice. We give them the right to fully express a reflection of us.
Our team of horses, many of whom have been with us for years, are eager to connect with you. They have so much to offer and a beautiful way of showing up for us.
Horses have gifted me some incredible lessons in life. Lessons that have been instrumental in shaping who I am today. Here at "The Space," I consider myself fortunate to share this extraordinary experience with visitors from all over Australia and help others feel the transformative power of connection-based lessons.
If you have never spent time with horses before and the idea of being with them is brining up some nerves in you please know that you will be introduced in a safe way and supported the whole time.
How you will feel
This is an invitation to reconnect—with your body, your breath, your presence, and your deeper truth.
Leslies integrative approach combines ancient wisdom with modern practices to help you:
Reclaim your natural rhythm through movement and breath
Calm the nervous system and awaken inner vitality
Strengthen self-awareness and intuitive knowing
Restore balance by aligning with the elements and the natural world
Live with clarity, intention, and purpose
Embody your soul self—liberated, grounded, and empowered
Lesley’s work offers more than healing—it is a journey toward authenticity, embodied presence, and heartfelt belonging and we are so excited she is joining us for this very special event.

What to expect
If you're interested in understanding more about yourself & the way you show up in the world, this event is for you.
This unique & life-changing weekend offers a program that is not only fun, but something you will not experience anywhere else in the world.
You will spend 3 days and nights in a nurturing, supportive environment where you will be guided through unique, engaging, heart-centred group sessions to learn about how your thoughts and your beliefs influence your physical presence. How they impact your everyday actions, interactions & the way you engage with the world around you.
Over the weekend you will experience and learn about:
Conscious movement: intentional physical movement connecting body and awareness
Breath work: controlled techniques to observe and influence the autonomic nervous system
Active presence: attentive engagement in the present moment with distraction or distortion
Heart-centered connection: moving away from the analytical mind to the intuitive heart
Deep listening: fully attentive beyond just what we hear without interrupting
Elemental immersion: bond with and embrace the presence of earth, water, fire, air and ether
Sacred practices: rituals, actions, or disciplines carried out with purpose and reverence
Meet Your Guides
This weekend is hosted by Jillian Prince & guest facilitator Lesley Parkes
Jillian Prince
Horsewoman, Coach, Mentor

"I am exited to meet you and share the wonder of "The Space" experience with you". - Jillian Prince
Lesley Parkes
Movement Coach
Apnea Survival Instructor
Bodywork Massage Therapist
Natural energy flow is at the heart of Lesley's work and way of life. A movement coach, AS Breath Instructor, Functional Patterns practitioner, masseuse, and women's circle host, Lesley guides others to remember and reconnect with their innate wisdom. A lover of nature’s wild beauty, she finds empowerment and peace in the great outdoors — and in the greatness within each of us. When she’s not facilitating, you’ll find her surfing, hiking, or planning her next adventure.
Much of Lesley’s work is rooted in her time on Country and rich cultural experiences. Learning from Indigenous Elders, facilitating empowerment programs in remote regions, and supporting communities across Australia, Nepal, India, Vietnam, and Mongolia awakened a profound understanding of what modern society so often forgets: the need to slow down, move with purpose, live with clear intention and integrity, honour the land and animals and act for the greater good of the village.
Through conscious movement, breathwork, active presence, heart-centered connection, deep listening, elemental immersion, and sacred practices, we reconnect with our own authenticity—and with one another. This is the path to liberating and embodying the soul self, and to awakening the true power of community.
Imagine Yourself Here
The Retreat Overview
In the Presence of The Horses: The horses really are the star of The Space Retreat experience.
Horses are highly sensitive to humans emotional states. They can synchronize a human heart rhythm to theirs, in doing this also influence our brains wave lengths. When a horses electromagnetic field will influence a humans and when heart and brain wave length of the horse match incredible healing can occur. The magnificent team of horses are already anticipating your arrival.
Breathwork and Meditation sessions: Lesley brings 15 years of breathwork experience to guide you in discovering the power of your breath and your natural ability to reset your nervous system. Through her sessions, you’ll learn how different breathing techniques directly impact your mental, emotional, and physical state—empowering you to reclaim control, and surrender, from within. This foundational work will prepare you for Jill’s Holotropic Breath Ceremony, deepening your overall transformative journey.
Somatic Practices: "Somatic" means a felt sense in the body. Somatic healing practices allow you to trace, feel and express what your nervous system is biologically wired to do. Weather being led through meditation or movement, being supported to stay connected to your body and breath allows you to process stored traumas and allow your body to release it in a safe and supported way leading to healing, both physical and metaphysical level.
Connected Movement & Fascia Release: Be guided through conscious movement to release and reshape your fascia—the connective tissue that surrounds and supports your muscles, bones, organs, nerves and blood vessels. Fascia not only holds structure, it also holds memory, emotion, and past experiences, which can lead to restriction and altered posture over time. Through targeted release and functional movement, we encourage these patterns to free, supporting emotional healing and restoring a more balanced, fluid way of moving and relating—physically and energetically.
A powerful backdrop that fills the soul: Immerse yourself in this breathtaking ancient landscape.
The landscape at Lachlan Downs is very powerful, a ancient sea shoreline holds the power and presence of ancient times and the lives that have walked upon it. It has story and medicine to share with us.
A weekend to create beautiful friendships: This event will attract souls just like yours. Open and surrounding yourself with like minded women that are committed to creating a safe place for the conversations you are craving.
Come join us this weekend to reconnect with your true self, reignite your passion, and embark on a journey of self-discovery.

What happens during the Equine Experience?
During our retreats we will spend time with the horses.
Our sessions are conducted with horses at liberty, which means at no time will you have control of a horse. This approach encourages both parties to express themselves freely, leading to honest and authentic experiences.
During the session, we will focus on developing our awareness, connection, and expectations. We will also engage in a few fun activities with them and in doing so, they will show us when we are being congruent and honest.
If you feel nervous around horses, please don't worry. We have no expectations for you to achieve anything in particular, and we will work together to create a safe and supportive environment for your experience.
