About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

Founded by Barbara and Michael O'Neill, Misty Mountain Lifestyle Retreat has been changing lives through natural health since 2001. We believe that the body was designed to heal itself and will do so given the right conditions. We have a large focus on the Eight Laws of Health (Fresh Air, Sunshine, Pure Water, Exercise, Temperance, Good Diet, Rest and Trust in Divine Power). Our naturopaths are trained in Barbara's principles and carry her passion for natural, holistic healing into every consultation. Our mission is to equip every guest with all the tools they need to leave Misty Mountain living a healthy life through natural means. Misty Mountain is Barbara's home and guests are occasionally lucky enough to meet her in person.
Whether you are managing a chronic illness, experiencing stress, seeking a complete detox, or simply ready for a reset, our structured residential programs give you the environment, education, and expert support to change your health - and keep it changed at home.

Programs run weekly (Sunday to Sunday) with both 8-day and 15-day options throughout the year.

All meals are vegan, gluten-free and refined sugar-free. We can cater for other dietary requirements. Our chef specialises in creating healthy, nourishing, delicious meals which are designed to support detox and healing.

Our on-site Misty Mountain Spa offers over 40 treatments.

Misty Mountain is a non-discriminatory environment - all are welcome regardless of race, religion, sexuality, vaccine status or gender.

Please note we are not a medical facility and do not offer palliative or 24-hour care.

Accommodation

At your Misty Mountain accommodation, the only noise you will hear will be the calls of abundant bird-life during the day, and at night, curl up in your warm and comfortable bed with the soft murmur of the mountain-fed streams running over the creek bed.

Reset & Recharge
Ray & I went to Misty Mountain Retreat not knowing what to expect. We desired to live the remainder of our senior years with good mobility and healthy bodies and minds.
Misty Mountain Retreat provided us with a brilliant template for a healthy life.

We loved every moment of our 8 days while enjoying so many new experiences.
Our programme was full to overflowing every day - from early mornings to evening.
Amazing lectures, great exercise regime
(especially if you stay in the Hilltop), exhilarating cold plunge & hot steam bath, wonderful refreshing treatments, massage, facial, dry body brush, alkaline wrap to name a few. And nutrition, the food was so fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented, so healthy.
We loved how the 8 pillars of health were embedded throughout the whole programme.
We have been challenged to adopt new learning and lifestyle changes that we are sure will enable us to achieve our goals. .

Amazing!!!
I've been following Barbara on FB for some time & hoped that one day I would get there. Due to a few too many small health issues, I decided it was time! A long drive home was a time for reflection for me. Soooo.... I don't think I have ever, in my life, been surrounded by such love & care. A humbling experience for which I will always be grateful. The staff are truly awesome with their knowledge, encouragement, patience & care. They are an absolute credit to the Misty Mountain team. The setting is peaceful, the accommodation is beautiful, the food is AMAZING! The bonuses are the treatments, the education, the sharing of knowledge, the fellow guests who were so supportive while dealing with their own health issues. Some of the teas and/or juices were not fun, but I understand the benefits. I have returned home & cleaned out my entire pantry cupboard & started again with more healthier choices. I'm also working my way through the recipe book...favourites first! Shopping now includes the health food shops. Slowly working on the exercise regime. Thank you so very much. M 😊

Misty Mountaineering
I came to Misty Mountain to support a friend and ended up getting 100fold out of the 8days. Much of the information I had been putting into practice until about 5 years ago when I allowed these practices to slide. Even though I was aware of much of the information, I still learnt such amazing little nuggets that have a huge impact on our health. I have come home and my feet have hit the floor running, with amazing energy, amazing zest and an amazing recalibration of what I know to be truth.
8 days surrounded by the most nurturing, caring, joyful and humorous staff. 8 days of the most delicious juices and food.
8 days of the most amazing therapies. 8 days in the most beautiful accommodation surrounded by pristine mountainous views and wildlife. It only took 8 days to see a difference in myself, and it heartens me to say I witnessed a vast difference in each and every one of the beautiful participants. If this change can happen in 8 days... imagine what a difference it will make if we follow the principles from here on in!!!! Love love loved it!! Keep shining your brilliant light.... Wendi Guy
