NORTHSTAR creates retreats and expeditions that bring together extraordinary places, expert guidance and real human connection. We help set direction, reset, or rediscover what matters and find your true north.
Every NORTHSTAR experience, for a 12 year old on their first expedition or a leadership team on a retreat, is shaped around the same four points of the compass. They are how we design each day, and what people carry home.
Whether you are a family, a school, someone ready for a reset of your own or a team that wants to grow together, every NORTHSTAR experience is designed and led by NORTHSTAR Facilitators with safety, purpose and growth at its heart.

A seven day, device free rite of passage in the Snowy Mountains, where expeditioners are challenged, mentored and recognised, then welcomed home.

Small group retreats for adults ready to step out of the everyday. Space to reset, reconnect and come home with a clearer sense of direction.

Custom leadership and team experiences for workplaces, clubs and communities. Tell us your goals and we will design the adventure around them.

Seven device free days in the Snowy Mountains, shaped as a modern rite of passage for young people aged 11 to 15. A leaving ceremony, a week of real challenge with a small crew and NORTHSTAR Facilitators, and a homecoming with family that marks who they are becoming.
Small group retreats for adults who are ready to step out of the everyday. Wild places, good company and time to think, built around rest, challenge and honest conversation, so you come home clearer about what matters.


Custom experiences for workplaces, schools, clubs and communities. From a single leadership day to a private multi day expedition, we design around your goals and send you a tailored itinerary and quote.
Every NORTHSTAR experience is led by NORTHSTAR Facilitators and delivered with qualified, trusted outdoor partners. The adventure is real, and so is the planning behind it.




Founded in Sydney, NORTHSTAR brings together experienced NORTHSTAR Facilitators, trusted outdoor partners and purpose driven programs. Whatever path you take, you are held to the same standard of care and the same intent: to come home knowing yourself a little better.

THAT MOMENT WHEN YOU FEEL PROUD OF THE PERSON YOU ARE BECOMING.
