Finding, Rest, Strength, and New Direction

Gracepoint programmes are structured wellbeing programmes that include professional guidance and support to help you work through challenges such as burnout, stress, or caring fatigue. They follow a set rhythm and are designed to give you practical tools and a safe environment for recovery.

Orama retreats, on the other hand, are more flexible and self-directed. They offer a peaceful setting where you can rest, unplug, and recharge at your own pace without the structure of a guided programme. Retreats are ideal for people who simply need space, quiet, and a supportive environment rather than focused therapeutic input.

We never want finances to be the reason someone misses out on the support they need. For those wanting to attend a Gracepoint programme, there is a Gracepoint Fund available that may be able to provide financial assistance. This fund exists to help people access structured wellbeing programmes when cost is a barrier.

Orama is a not-for-profit organisation, and our heart is always to help where we can. While we can’t meet every need, we do our best to find options or support for guests who are struggling. If cost is a concern, please get in touch with us. We’d love to talk with you and explore what might be possible.

Yes, absolutely. Each retreat includes planned activities that you’re welcome to join, but how you spend your time is completely up to you. Many guests enjoy having a balance of guided moments and personal space, while others prefer to explore, rest, or reflect on their own. There’s as much freedom as you need to shape the retreat in a way that supports you best.

Guests have access to a range of activities during their stay, including paddle boarding, kayaking, surfing, sailing, and hiking. We also have equipment available such as paddle boards, kayaks, surfboards, swim gear, and basic hiking gear. Most items are free to use, although in some situations there may be a small cost or booking requirement depending on availability and maintenance needs. If there’s something you’d like to use, just ask our team and we’ll be happy to help.
