SATORI
Retreats | Workshops | Trainings
Satori is a direct, wordless knowing of reality as it is.
Often translated as awakening, its essence reaches far beyond language.
It is a lived experience; a state of clarity, spaciousness, and deep remembering. Satori is not about becoming something new, but returning to what has always been here: the present moment, before the mind begins to name or grasp it.
It is not the final destination, but a doorway; dissolving the illusion of separation and inviting a life aligned with truth.
Vision
Satori offers transformative wellness and spiritual retreats at sacred places around the world. Designed to help you learn, grow, and reconnect through culture, movement, and mindfulness - Experience adventure, community, and deep healing as you rediscover your true nature. We invite you to awaken to the remembering of your authentic self and walk the path from karma to dharma; towards a simpler, more meaningful, fulfilled and integrated way of living.
Our 3 pillars of experience!
Adventure
Our retreats always encourage a deep sense of connection with the culture we’re immersed in. Whether it’s exploring the ancient architecture of old Kyoto in Japan, fishing & snorkeling in Fiji, or hiking through breathtaking landscapes in New Zealand — we believe the truest way to experience a place is by living its culture, not just observing it.
Through these experiences, we open ourselves to new ways of thinking, moving, living and being.
Education
Each retreat is anchored in education — not just of the mind, but of the whole self. We will dive into philosophy, meditation, yoga, and movement practices designed to help you grow into a stronger, more confident & resilient individuals from the inside out.
Beyond the internal work, we also embrace external education — learning directly from the local culture and traditions of the places we visit. Whether it’s ancient wisdom, traditional crafts, or unique ways of living, every retreat becomes an opportunity to learn through experience.
Connection
Small At their core, our retreats are about connection — to yourself, to others, and to the world around you. Through shared experiences, play, cultural immersion, and meaningful conversations, we move beyond surface-level interactions into something deeper and more meaningful & authentic.
Our aim is to rebuild a sense of community, where we remember that growth isn’t just for the I, but for the All. Together, we create space for genuine connection, belonging, and purpose — the essence of being human.

Who is Satori?
Meet Jake Norton
Jake Norton is a holistic health coach, CHEK Practitioner, and integrative therapist based in Sydney, working with clients both in person and online around the world.
Jake focuses on rebuilding the foundations of health from the inside out — using a unique blend of modalities such as Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilisation (DNS), visceral and organ manipulation, postural therapy, and holistic lifestyle coaching.

Meet Justine Sydenham
For nearly two decades, Justine Sydenham has been immersed in the study and practice of Integrative Healing Arts.
She is a Reiki Master, 500-hour ERYT Yoga and Meditation Teacher, Bodyworker, Integrative Energy Healer, Retreat Facilitator, and the founder of Sangha Yoga Studio.
At the heart of her work is a deeply embodied, trauma-informed approach that gently invites people home to themselves. Her favorite yoga quote, “We use asana to get into our bodies, not our bodies to get into asana,” beautifully reflects her philosophy: that these sacred practices are not about performance, but about presence—a soft re-wilding that guides us back to who we truly are.
