What to Expect

Facilitation Frequency is a 4-night immersive training retreat designed to help you become the kind of facilitator people remember and return to.

You’ll learn how to confidently structure workshops, retreats, and transformational experiences while integrating powerful modalities such as breathwork, sound, and ceremony.

By the end of the retreat, you’ll not only deepen your personal practice… you’ll leave with the skills, structure, and confidence to guide meaningful group experiences of your own.

❋ Learn How to Structure Powerful Experiences

Discover how to design workshops, circles, and retreats that feel intentional, engaging, and transformational from beginning to end.

❋ Develop True Facilitation Confidence

Learn how to hold space, guide a room, and respond to group energy so participants feel safe, supported, and fully engaged.

❋ Integrate Multiple Modalities

Instead of needing separate trainings, learn how to confidently guide experiences that weave together breathwork, sound, and ceremony.

❋ Leave Ready to Facilitate

Walk away with practical tools, structure, and real experience so you feel ready to begin guiding your own workshops, circles, or retreats.

By the end of this retreat, you won’t just understand facilitation... you’ll feel it.

You’ll walk away with the confidence to guide workshops, circles, and retreats that feel powerful, natural, and deeply impactful.

Instead of second-guessing yourself when leading a group, you’ll know how to read the room, structure meaningful experiences, and hold space in a way that people genuinely feel.

Many facilitators spend years collecting separate trainings in different modalities.

Facilitation Frequency brings the core elements together, helping you integrate breathwork, sound, ceremony, and group guidance into one cohesive experience.

So when you return home, you won’t just have memories from a retreat.

You’ll have the skills, structure, and confidence to begin facilitating your own transformational spaces.

I would definitely recommend Veyda Academy to anyone wanting to extend their skills as a facilitator

Frequently Asked Questions

  • No prior facilitation experience is required. Many participants join because they feel called to guide workshops, circles, or retreats but want more confidence and structure before beginning.

    Others already facilitate and want to refine their skills and deepen the impact of their events.

    Facilitation Frequency is designed to support both emerging and experienced facilitators.

  • The retreat is located in the peaceful Sunshine Coast Hinterland at 216 Jorgensen Road, Ridgewood QLD, surrounded by nature yet still easily accessible from major airports.

    From Sunshine Coast Airport (recommended)

    Sunshine Coast Airport is the closest airport and is approximately 50–55 minutes drive from the retreat property.
    From the airport you can hire a car, organise a taxi or rideshare, or coordinate a lift with other retreat participants.

    From Brisbane Airport

    Brisbane Airport is around 1 hour 30 minutes drive (approx. 140 km) from the retreat location.
    Many participants choose to fly into Brisbane and either hire a car or travel up the Bruce Highway to the Sunshine Coast Hinterland.

    Driving Yourself

    If you are travelling by car, the property is located just outside Cooroy, about 30 minutes inland from Noosa in the beautiful hinterland countryside.

    Closer to the retreat date we will help connect participants who may wish to carpool or share airport transfers.

  • Arrival and check-in will be on the afternoon of the first day, with the retreat officially beginning that evening.

    The retreat concludes mid-morning on the final day to allow time for travel.

    Exact times will be shared with all participants closer to the retreat.

  • Yes. To make the retreat more accessible, we offer a few payment options.

    You can secure your place with a pay-in-full option (which includes a $600 early commitment saving until April 14th.

    Or choose a four-month automatic payment plan.

    Or reserve your spot with a $400 non-refundable deposit and pay the remaining balance before August 31st.

    Full details of each option are available when you click View Registration Options.

  • Yes. All meals during the retreat are included and prepared by one of Australia’s most respected retreat catering teams. Many guests say the food alone is worth coming back for.

    Meals are vegetarian, mostly organic, and thoughtfully prepared to support energy and wellbeing throughout the retreat.

    We also cater for gluten-free and dairy-free diets. After booking, you’ll receive a registration form where you can let us know about any additional dietary requirements or intolerances so we can ensure you’re well looked after during your stay.

  • This retreat is designed as a shared accommodation experience, with 2–3 participants per room. This helps keep the retreat accessible and affordable for everyone, as venues offering large numbers of private rooms can significantly increase the overall cost.

    If you're attending with a friend, we’re very happy to place you in the same room together — just let us know when you complete your registration form.

    A common concern people mention before retreats is snoring. After running retreats for many years, we can confidently say it comes up on almost every retreat — and it rarely ends up being an issue. We provide earplugs for anyone who would like them, and most participants sleep surprisingly well after full days of learning, connection, and relaxation.

    One of the beautiful things about retreat life is the sense of connection that forms quickly. By the end of the retreat, many participants feel like family, and it’s not uncommon for friendships formed while sharing a room to last long after the retreat ends.

  • To preserve the immersive nature of the retreat, all participants stay onsite at the retreat property for the full duration of the experience.

    One of the most powerful aspects of a retreat is the container that’s created when everyone shares the space together. Being immersed in the same environment allows participants to fully step away from daily life and into a focused, supportive learning experience.

    Over the years we’ve found that staying onsite is a key part of what makes retreats so impactful. It creates a sense of connection, presence, and shared experience that simply isn’t the same when people come and go.

    For this reason, offsite accommodation isn’t available, even for those who live locally.

  • Closer to the retreat you’ll receive a full preparation guide and packing list. In general we recommend comfortable clothing for movement, a journal, and anything that helps you feel relaxed and supported during your stay.

    All workshop materials, your workbook, and retreat resources are provided.

  • Due to the nature of retreats and the advance planning required, the following cancellation terms apply:

    • Deposits are non-refundable.

    • If you have paid in full, you may receive a 90% refund if you cancel more than 60 days before the retreat.

    • If you cancel within 60 days of the retreat, a 50% refund will be provided.

    • Within 14 days of the retreat start date, payments are non-refundable.

    If you are unable to attend, your ticket may be transferred to another person, allowing someone else to take your place.

    Tickets cannot be transferred to a future retreat, as retreat planning and accommodation are secured well in advance and last-minute places can be difficult to refill.

    Full terms and conditions are provided in the retreat registration form after booking.
