A Conversation with Lucy and Claudia: Behind the Scenes of Our Upcoming Retreat

A Conversation with Lucy and Claudia: Behind the Scenes of Our Upcoming Retreat

At State of Salt, we believe in creating luxury wellness experiences, and this retreat is no exception. I’m teaming up with Lucy, the founder of Bless Inc, to bring you an unforgettable retreat Jan 16-19, 2025, at one of Byrons most prestigious getaways.

Today, we’re sitting down for a little chat about the inspiration behind the retreat, what to expect, and why this experience is not to be missed.

 

Claudia: Luc, it's so exciting to be working together on this retreat. What inspired you to create Bless, and how does that align with what we're planning?

Lucy: I know, I am so excited! What inspired us to create and launch Bless was the connection we wanted to create with others. At first this was created through our products and our daily rituals that we shared and now this has evolved into hosting retreats.

We have been lucky enough to attend many retreats all over the world over the last 6 or so years and we find that coming together and sharing these special memories with each other is so powerful and profound and has so many amazing benefits.

Claudia: Definitely! I feel like we’ve designed something really special. What’s one part of the retreat that you're most excited about?

Lucy: I think it has to be our sunrise kundalini sessions. There’s just something about starting the day early, connecting with nature, and really tuning into your breath. It’s going to be such a peaceful, grounding way to kick off each day. How about you? What are you looking forward to?

Claudia: I cant wait for our sunrise sessions, I think another favourite part is the tea ceremonies with Cloud Hidden Tea. I have been to a ceremony with them before but we have never ran one on retreat so really looking forward to our guests experiencing this whilst overlooking the Byron Bay hinterland. That golden hour Byron glow—there's nothing like it. It’s the perfect way to wind down after a fulfilling day.

Lucy: It sounds dreamy already! What do you hope guests take away from this experience?

Claudia: I hope they leave feeling like they’ve taken the time for themselves to recharge on every level. Whether it’s through being inspired by movement, reassesing their goals and having clarity and motivation to go for them, deep relaxation, or just taking a break from the daily grind. I want them to feel inspired, refreshed, and ready to take these practices and rituals into their lives afterward.

Lucy: Yes, exactly! And for anyone still on the fence about joining, what would you say to them?

Claudia: I’d say don’t hesitate! This retreat is a once off opportunity to run at Damia. For anyone who’s ready to prioritise themselves, step away from the everyday, and experience something totally uplifting. It’s a chance to reset, meet lifelong friendships, and have a lot of fun with an amazing community.

 


We can't wait to welcome you to this transformative experience. The collaboration will be curated to bring rituals and wellness techniques into your daily life. Take time away with other inspiring women, ground and be creative so you can revisit what's most inspiring to you. 

If you’re looking to step out of the everyday and into something extraordinary, this retreat is for you. Only 4 remaining rooms, so book now to secure your place!
