Flow Floatation and Sensory Retreat

Flow Retreat is in Bendigo, the heart of Victoria. A beautiful and vibrant regional centre .. recently recognised as a UNESCO Creative City and Region of Gastronomy!

We offer a boutique and welcoming environment for you to immerse yourself in the deep and restorative flow practices of Sensory Immersion, Float Therapy and Fire & Ice (Sauna and Ice Bath Contrast Therapy).

At Flow Retreat we curate sensory immersive experiences .. as a pathway to relaxation and mindfulness. These unique experiences have been designed to quiet the chatter of the mind, bring you back to the present moment and put your body in a state of calm … flow.


I realised how much I benefited from the experiences of flow in my life ... painting, meditating and in particular float therapy. How healing, calming and joyful it felt.
I wanted to share that feeling ... and that’s how Flow Retreat began. It’s about creating experiences that are a pathway for a calmer and happier mind and body.

“My friend and I did the (Finding Flow) Half Day Retreat and left feeling amazing!

All the different treatments are unique and lovely, but when you get to do them all one after the other it is really an out of body experience. Will definitely be back.”
