24 Hour Winter Solstice Nature Experience in Nature on Kangaroo Island

24 Hour Winter Solstice Nature Experience in Nature on Kangaroo Island

Saturday June 24th 1pm - Sunday 25th 1pm 2023

Winter Solstice ~ A magical time to pause, breathe and tune the 5 senses into the natural world. Take this opportunity and gift yourself a winter re-boot to invigorate your body and stimulate your mind - learning about the Wim Hof Method in nature’s paradise on Kangaroo Island. The location, nestled alongside Pelican Lagoon Conservation Park, is a healing and magical place.

Experience the Wim Hof Method in nature where the natural elements heighten the experience. Feel a reconnection to the natural world and deep within yourself…

This June long weekend, feel the power of the Wim Hof Method immersed in a native pine forest; with feet in the moss, pristine ocean air in your lungs and the warmth of a roaring fire to embrace you. Come for the Wim Hof Fundamental workshop on the Saturday 10am-3pm where you will learn the theory, science and practical application of the 3 pillars, then spend quality time relaxing, socialising and exploring the property and its surrounds.

Set on a private property adjacent to Pelican Lagoon Conservation Park, Island Alive offers you a one-off opportunity to see a hidden part of Kangaroo Island. Meet local wildlife up close, wake to the sound of birdsong and disconnect from the distractions of the outside world. Relax on a hammock, go birdwatching, pick fresh produce from the garden, bushwalk through the conservation park… the choice is yours. Your central nervous system gets a complete re-set, your body will be re-charged and your heart will be full from making special connections with the environment and the people around you.

Celebrate one of the shortest days and longest nights (not quite the exact solstice date but pretty close!) with star gazing at crystal clear heavens above (no street lights or light pollution) and a sunrise swim at the nearby beach. A completely unique location for a unique moment in the astronomical calendar.

This 24 hour experience is all inclusive and caters for all levels of physical fitness and Wim Hof experience.
