Meghan Markle has been announced as the headline speaker for a three-day women’s retreat in Coogee, where a limited group of attendees will gather for a program centred on wellness sessions, discussion events and social activities.
Retreat Scheduled For Coogee Beach Hotel
The Her Best Life Retreat is scheduled to run from 17 April to 19 April at the InterContinental Sydney Coogee Beach.
The event has been organised by Besties, an events company founded by Jackie O Henderson and Gemma O’Neill.
Organisers have confirmed that Meghan Markle will appear as the retreat’s headline guest and take part in an in-person conversation during the weekend’s gala dinner event.
The retreat has been designed as a limited-capacity gathering with attendance capped at 300 participants.
Ticket Packages And Event Inclusions
Ticket packages were released in two tiers. Early Bird tickets were priced at $2,699 per person, while the VIP Experience was priced at $3,199 per person.
Both packages include two nights of twin-share accommodation, meals, drinks and access to all scheduled speaker sessions and wellness activities.
VIP packages also include front-row seating for the gala dinner with Meghan Markle, a group table photo with the speaker, a premium ocean-view hotel room and a VIP gift bag.
The retreat program includes a gala dinner conversation with Markle, a women’s coaching session with therapist Dr Justine Corry, yoga sessions, sound healing experiences and communal meals.
Organisers have also listed social activities, including a dinner and dance event, alongside scheduled wellness and discussion sessions.
The event listing now states that ticket allocation has been exhausted, with a standby list available for any further availability.
Visit Marks Return To Australia
The Coogee appearance is expected to coincide with a visit to Australia by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. The trip would mark their first visit to the country since 2018.
Prince Harry is also expected to appear in Melbourne at the InterEdge Summit, where he is listed to speak about mental health in the workplace.
Speaking Fee Claim Remains Unconfirmed
One report has claimed Meghan Markle could receive about $1 million for the retreat appearance. The figure has been attributed to an unnamed source and has not been confirmed by event organisers.
Outlook
The Coogee retreat is set to bring together a limited group of attendees for a three-day program combining discussion sessions, wellness activities and social gatherings. With ticket allocations already exhausted, the April event will centre on a headline conversation with Meghan Markle at the Coogee beachfront hotel venue.
