get ready to reset
your recalibration
Jimmy Doo Alpine Farm,
Crackenback, Snowy Mountains NSW
May 15th - 19th 2025
not your average retreat
The very meaning of the word “retreat” is to step backwards, particularly in the face of adversity.
Through the 5 day Rhythms of Nature recalibration, we ascend to a higher level together. A coalescence of the body, mind and spirit.
Of course, you will leave rested and renewed which is what most traditional retreat experiences set out to achieve. We go further and unfold a platform to reset your biorhythms and align you with the flow of nature. It will provide you with the ability to move beyond adversity by reclaiming the power that has always existed within you and within nature, but so often has not been connected. Intense immersion in nature by day, and true peace by night in the luxury of Jimmy Doo’s alpine chalet.

Our intention is to create an experience of harmonisation with the natural world, cultivating lasting simple practices that anyone can continue to re-create at home.
This recalibration draws on our extensive education and lived experience in the field of living well. We have cultivated a vibrant and flourishing life around this program, and you can easily follow the same path.
Location and program
Jimmy Doo is truly a property that is made for our Rhythms of Nature recalibration. With supremely clean air and water, 270 acres of land surrounding the chalet and natural wonders at the doorstep, it sets the benchmark for living in alignment with nature. With an outdoor biostacking zone, multiple chill out zones and fireplaces to warm the chalet at night, no shortcuts have been taken by our friends who created this sanctuary.
We are very excited to bring our good friend Alex Johnson along for us all to experience not only the nourishing food she creates, but the wealth of knowledge and passion she has for sourcing food that supports our body and mind, as well as farmers, communities and our environment.
Any current level of health, wellness, fitness, flexibility and mental state are welcomed.

Our program is unique in that we intertwine our wealth of knowledge in the ancestral elements through both informal short discussions and practical activities which are suitable for almost any human body.
There will be ample time to digest the information, put it into practice, and ask follow up questions over a long meal together. Jimmy Doo is also set up with several communal chill out areas both inside and out, and our schedule allows for downtime where you will be able to find space to let the lessons of nature wash over you in solitude.
We focus on the foundational and ancestral elements of —
LIGHT
Guided by the sun’s patterns, our daily program will honour its rising and setting. We’ll maximize time in beneficial sunlight, exploring the full light spectrum and understanding how light (heliotherapy) shapes our wellbeing and in particular our circadian health.
CLEAN AIR
Breathing the crisp alpine air will have you marvelling at the incredible power that clean air has on the body and mind. We’ll be diving into how to clean up the air supply of your home environments to emulate the virgin air we’ll be breathing in the Snowy Mountains.
GROUNDING
We seek the earth under our feet for as many hours of the day as possible, and in particular ways. There are many tangible benefits to this practice which we will delve deeply into.
WATER
Learn what truly constitutes pure, living water and how to source or create it for yourself—a cornerstone of vitality and longevity.
BREATH
Diving deep into the art of breath, we will begin to discover the many facets of our superhuman tool that has been hiding in plain sight. From the unconscious to the intentional, we’ll explore breathing practices that foster mastery of the human form.
NUTRITION
We will be nourished by organically grown food including ethically farmed meat sourced locally from farmers we know and trust. It will be prepared by an incredibly talented and passionate food creative Alex Johnson, the visionary mind behind Ora Manly.
MOVEMENT
Returning our movement to nature based activities and rewilding ourselves. All levels of movement are welcome as we immerse our bodies in the rugged terrain of the Snowy Mountains.
COLD
Embracing the invigorating power of cold in the alpine landscape, with the possibility of a dashing of snow. You’ll discover how to harness cold exposure for resilience and vitality. We will also draw on ancient hydrotherapy practices and incorporate contrast therapy sessions.
JOY
Rediscover how joy starts to flow into your life through connecting with the rhythms of nature. Discover the passion that sets your soul alight and move towards it with purpose.
REST
An often overlooked part of our day is active daytime rest, which we’ll encourage throughout our time together. Aligning with the patterns of the sun, we’ll also unpack our innate need for deep sleep and how to cultivate it in your life.
Crackenback and particularly Jimmy Doo provide a platform for us to experience the ultimate version of ourselves in as little as 5 days together using these foundational and ancestral elements.
We’ll ensure you know how to easily take these learnings home and adapt them to your home, life, work and family so that your higher level of being continues well into the future.
