2026 Youth Mentor Business Retreat
transport yourself to Kingscliff…
You’ve done the training.
Your business is up and running OR you’re ready to dive in and get this happening.
Let’s get together to plan, brainstorm, solve problems, celebrate + play!
In an inspiring, relaxing place of course. 🙂
See how much magic can happen in person.
Join us for 4 days and 3 nights of masterminding, learning and connection with your fellow Shine From Within Youth Mentors in beautiful Kingscliff, northern NSW, Australia.
Leave the distractions behind and focus ON your business, rather than the day-to-day running or ‘side-hustle’ of it. This will include mastermind sessions and workshops to help you gain clarity, focus and connect with like-minded souls who believe in you. All while immersing in nature. #bliss #alsoyoucanclaimitontax
You’ll leave with an action plan for your project (whatever you want to focus on), inspired and energised to keep moving forward once you get back home.

DATES:

VENUE:
Peppers Salt Resort & Spa Kingscliff, NSW
Approximately 15 minutes south of the Gold Coast Airport and 30 minutes drive from Byron Bay. It’s about 1 hour and 30 mins south of Brisbane airport.
the location
Every Youth Mentor Retreat has a different vibe. Sometimes we’re in the mountains with acres of space. This retreat is a beautiful beach-side retreat – a leisurely coastal resort in Salt Village with a breezy seaside atmosphere – just the place to restore balance and focus on business growth.
Think: walks along the beach before we start the day, booking in for a massage at the spa and maybe a sneaky stroll for gelato in the evenings.
We’ll have a larger apartment to meet in each day, and in the evenings you get your own space in your own private apartment within the resort. No sharing (unless you decide to have sleepovers and hang out together – it’s been known to happen!).
To ensure intimate vibes with loads of personalised support, places are limited to a maximum of 7 people.
your hotel room
Modern and stylishly designed Hotel Rooms either overlook the manicured resort gardens or have views of the hinterlands. You’ll have a private balcony or patio, quality furnishings and fittings and the luxury of a spacious shower in the ensuite. For entertainment there is broadband or WiFi access is available. The bedding configuration consists of one king zip-bed or twin single beds.
- King bed or two singles
- Private balcony
- Air conditioning
- WiFi access included
- Cable television
- Docking station
- Foxtel
- Tea & coffee facilities
- Ironing facilities
- Hairdryer
- Non-smoking only

oh the fun we’ll have….
Training
Dedicated sessions to up-skill, mastermind and, most importantly, work ON your business.
Wellness
Beach-side retreat, plant-based lunches and snacks (anything we organise will be vegan and cater to any additional dietary requirements) and a gentle pace.
Connection
The highlight is always the connections. A villa full of people who get what you’re trying to do and are cheering you on.
“I cannot speak highly enough of the impact the Youth Mentor retreats have provided. Both for my personal mindset and specific business growth.
The environment outside of the home office walls has allowed inspiration for new ideas to form and grow and old ideas to be fleshed out and troubleshot.
What Amanda organises within the retreat have provided great opportunities for upskilling.
However amongst all the educational and business value I have received from attending the retreats, the most beneficial aspect, and the reason I return, is the opportunity to be surrounded with other mentors. It allows the new ideas to be discussed with others who “get it” and more importantly for purposeful action plans to be formed, whilst providing that like minded connection for endless laughs and shared inspiration!
The retreats truly are the perfect opportunity to work on the business instead of in it, with many fresh pair of enthusiastic eyes willing to help get it just right!“

Vaccination:
This feels a bit outdated BUT you never know when things can change I suppose! So I’ve left it in – We respect the rights of each individual to decide whether to get vaccinated against COVID-19 or anything else. At this time, we do not require guests to be vaccinated to attend. All legal requirements will be enforced but nothing beyond what is legally mandated at the time of the retreat (at this time there are no mandates in place in NSW). If you are unsure of this or need further clarification, please email info@shinefromwithin.com.au. NOTE: It is likely that there will be unvaccinated people on this retreat; by booking in you agree that you are comfortable with this and take full responsibility for your own health and wellbeing.
Refund Policy:
Please read the terms and condition before proceeding. We have quite a strict cancellation policy so it’s a requirement that you organise travel insurance to ensure that if you, or we, need to cancel the retreat that you’re not left out of pocket. We also recommend flexible flights if you are flying in and strongly recommend holding off on booking flights until you receive an email from us confirming that we’re definitely going ahead.
By proceeding, you agree to these terms.

“I had been looking forward to the Shine From Within Youth Mentor Retreat for absolutely months, and I am so happy to say that it was even more nourishing, fun, connective and worthwhile than I had hoped.
Every detail had been taken care of, from the stunning setting, divine catering, materials, and treats, not to mention the incredible line up of guests we had visit throughout the weekend. I particularly loved connecting with my Youth Mentor community and forming lovely friendships that continue across the Tasman. If you have the opportunity to attend a SFW retreat, jump at it!
Amanda, Leah & their gorgeous community will ensure you have a completely delicious time and leave fully inspired to keep doing our super important work in the world! “
Warning… we will have fun!
Each retreat we have different workshops and events depending on what we think is going to be most useful for the mentors who book in (that’s part of the reason we have a pre-retreat check-in with you!). Over the years we’ve had Melissa Ambrosini, Michael Maidens, Nina Tovey, Kim Morrison, Stacey Nelson, Jo Parker, etc (most of which are guest experts in our training) all come and share their wisdom and answer our questions. We’ve had alumni panels, we’ve done art therapy, we’ve learned how to incorporate partner yoga and playfulness into our teen workshops, we’ve told stories around the fire and learned the impact of story telling… and we’ve had time to work through whatever is needed to take your business to the next level (or get it going).
This year we’re stripping it back and making sure there’s LOTS of time for personalised support to work through your business challenges so it’s more spacious and personalised.

FAQs - CLICK TO OPEN
1. What will I need to bring?
Comfortable clothes including warmer clothes (even though we’re in northern NSW the nights can be cold in winter), swimmers, laptop/tablet and or notebook and pens, walking shoes, etc. We’ll provide a more detailed list as we get closer and confirm the details with you.
2. Which airport and how to get from the airport to the resort?
Gold Coast Airport is the closest option, around 15-20 minutes away, but Brisbane airport (BNE) can sometimes be more convenient with many more flights in service, around 1.5hrs away. There are public transport options, ride-share services and Private transfer services, such as Salt Transfers, which will transfer you from Gold Coast Airport to the resort for around $35 one-way. Or you can hire a car – there is free undercover parking at the resort.
3. What if I want to stay elsewhere?
No worries – we can organise a different booking form for you. The cost with your own accommodation is $1950.
4. What if I want to extend my trip?
We encourage you to make the most of this and extend your trip either before or after the retreat. This is completely up to you to organise and is not included in the price of this retreat.
5. When will you know if it’s definitely going ahead?
We’ve already booked the venue but will make sure we have enough bookings by the end of March 2026 before we confirm with you.
