Bells Beach & OTWAYs: Day Trip: Hike + Picnic, Meditation, Chocolate, Winery

• 🌏 MELBOURNE → BELLS BEACH & OTWAYs 🏙️
• 📅 SUN 22 FEB, DAY TRIP ☀️
• ✨ “Hike gently. Breathe deeply. Live fully.”

----------------------------
Escape the city and join us for a beautifully balanced day where ocean energy meets forest calm. We begin with an easy coastal-and-forest hike, moving between dramatic clifftops, peaceful bush trails, and open viewpoints. Along the way, we pause for a short meditation and grounding — a moment to slow down, breathe, and reconnect.
After the walk, we enjoy a relaxed picnic lunch with a view, featuring a fresh fruit platter and refreshments. The afternoon adds a touch of indulgence with a visit to a chocolate factory, followed by winery stop for scenic views, tastings, and the chance to enjoy wood-fired pizza before our return to Melbourne. A day of good vibes, gentle movement, and shared moments in nature.
