A Day Devoted to Intelligent Movement, Longevity & the Art of Vitality

Movement is the physical heartbeat of the House of Resilience.

It is the pillar that strengthens the body’s architecture, protects long-term health, and keeps the human system vibrant as we age.

In alignment with WHO guidance, daily movement is one of the most powerful interventions for increasing longevity, improving metabolic health, supporting cognitive function, and reducing the risk of chronic disease.

Yet true movement is far more than exercise. It is a philosophy, one that nurtures strength, elasticity, balance, and confidence in the body that carries us through life.

What to expect

A Movement Experience That Respects the Whole Body

Inspired by the House of Resilience model, the day draws upon the full spectrum of the movement pillar, strength, balance, power, mobility, and everyday functional motion, without overwhelming detail.

Instead, we bring guests into a grounded understanding of how thoughtful, consistent movement forms the cornerstone of lifelong wellbeing.

This is movement refined:

A philosophy that allows the body to remain capable, energetic, and aligned through every chapter of life.

What our guests say

I feel held

I feel great. I feel wholesome, I feel nourished, looked after and most importantly I feel held. I spend a lot of my time looking after other people, and it's really nice to come to a day that enables you to feel looked after.

I'm much more relaxed after today's retreat

It's a really nice thing to do on a Friday before heading into the weekend. The sunshine has helped, but most of all it's been really great just having time to fully relax, learn some new things and meet some new people.

Health, fitness, and longevity are so important for my age

I came to an Avandra retreat because health and fitness, and longevity, are so important for my age. The more I learn, the longer I'll be able to keep up the level I would like in life.

I've been able to think about myself

I've reached that age and stage where my children are starting to leave home and I've started to be able to think about myself and things that I need. It's been great listening to professionals put everything together for you in one place.

I feel a lot more relaxed

I'm a lot more aware of my breathing and hopefully I'll be able to handle my teenage children and husband when I get home!

Reserve Your Place

This is an intimate, beautifully held retreat curated for those who value high-touch expertise, deep support, and a refined approach to wellness.

Step into a day that strengthens the body, uplifts the spirit, and lays the foundation for a lifetime of healthy movement.

Your stronger, more resilient future begins here.
