WISEROOTS Holistic Temple Retreat

Lets get this straight before you visit!

we are a relaxed venue with a humble eco space

What does the word retreat actually mean?

RETREAT noun

1. The act of moving back or away from something unpleasant

2. Withdrawal from a position or attack

3. The process of receding from a position

Wiseroots is a simple 'Retreat and Collective' space for conscious people to gather, create and be together. We are a 'collective' and NOT a community

We are a Retreat Space built on the concept and

NEW foundations of Sacred Economics
