Day Retreat

An entire day of Chakana – created for one.

$1,500 

There is nowhere else to be.

The Full-Day Retreat is Chakana’s most expansive, private experience – unhurried hours in which bodywork, skin, bathing, heat, nourishment and sound unfold across the day.

Dry brushing and Himalayan salt exfoliation prepare the skin before layers of botanical oils and creams are worked over the body. Warmth, wrapping, bathing and long flowing massage turn what would ordinarily be separate spa treatments into one extended piece of bodywork.

From there, time in the infrared sauna creates a natural interval in the day – heat, privacy and stillness before lunch.

A seasonal lunch is served with time to eat slowly and privately before returning to the treatment room.

The afternoon moves to the face with Chakana’s deluxe facial: deep cleansing, bioactive skincare and extended sculpting massage through the face, jaw, scalp, neck and shoulders.

And finally, sound. The treatment room becomes a private sound immersion. Tibetan and crystal bowls, tuning forks, percussion, voice and Mardi Ritchie’s original compositions are performed around and through the body, bringing together the musical work that sits at the heart of Chakana.

There is time to bathe. Time to eat. Time to lie still. Time to receive.

An entire day, given over to you.

BOOK NOW

The Reveal + Cocoon

A full-body exfoliation & body wrap + body massage + bathing.

Designed to shed what is heavy and reveal the radiance beneath.

Beginning with a full body dry brush, the skin is awakened and pathways for renewal are cleared. A purifying polish of pure Himalayan salts follows – releasing stagnant layers while infusing the body with trace minerals that restore vitality and tone. Botanical actives and vitamin C crystals refine the face and décolletage, restoring brightness and softness to the skin.

The body is then anointed with aromatic oils and enveloped in a mineral-rich clay mask. The clay is sealed and gently insulated with steam-infused linens, creating a therapeutic heat that softens, and invites profound surrender.

An aroma-infused bath invites you to pause, immerse and surrender into stillness – dissolving what is no longer needed.

A flowing body massage completes the journey. Intuitive, artful touch designed to reveal skin that feels genuinely new.

INFRARED SAUNA

A grounding pause in radiant heat – soothing and deeply restorative.

The Chakana Signature Facial

One of our most loved classical essentials. A high touch facial that sits within the true alchemy of beauty therapy.

A ritual of care that far surpasses the face. Grounding massage of the feet and attendance to all your facial needs with a decadent double facial cleanse, exfoliation, steam and hydrating face mask. Vitamins + peptides from Chakana Skincare Collection brighten, replenish and leave skin feeling beautifully cared for.

But the best bit – Chakana’s signature face and scalp massage flowing through the arms all the way down to the feet.

Pure Hedonism. Simply

The Chakana Ascend

Created for those standing at life’s thresholds: in transition, burnout, or seeking profound renewal.

A space to stop, listen and be carried by music – allowing the mind to quieten, the body to rest and something deeper to come into view.

You simply lie down and receive, while the magic of sound moves through you.

Chakana Ascend brings Mardi’s music off the recording and into the room, as six original songs – Surrender, You’re Beautiful, Keep Breathing, Hypnotic, Slow and Temple – merge into one continuous stream of song and sound.

Performed live within an evolving soundscape of voice, guitar, piano,  crystal and Tibetan bowls, gong, percussion and atmospheric sound.

Mardi moves between live voice, instruments, song and silence. She leads you through a guided meditation as sound surrounds the body, scent accompanies the music and song opens different emotional landscapes as the experience moves through the six worlds of Ascend.
Experience the restorative effect of a whole body tuning fork balancing, where tuning forks are used on acupressure points as a form of vibrational accupuncture.

One person. One private performance.

Chakana Ascend was written and created for this experience and produced by Sean Carey at Church St Studios, Sydney.

“Having tried many beauty treatments throughout my career, the encounter with Mardi’s Ascend sound healing was an entirely new experience. What unfolds is beyond anticipation. It’s an amazing treatment. Mardi customises it for each client and it’s very different from anything out there.”
