Introducing the Cara Creek Team

Cara Creek began as an idea, built by hand by Rory and Ashley and beginning as a tent in a wild and overgrown forest on the side of the creek. From that small seedling has grown a thriving web of friends, hosts, guests, volunteers and team members. 


As Cara Creek expands, we’re more grateful than ever to be cultivating our incredible support team, helping us handle the day to day rhythms while staying rooted in the vision and intention that we’ve held since first arriving in this space. 


So we’d like to take a moment to introduce some of the key members of our team...

If you’re hosting a retreat in the coming months you’ll already have had contact with Manon, who will be making sure everyone who visits, as a volunteer, host, or guest has a smooth and seamless experience. She brings her calm presence as a yoga teacher, having previously run her own studio, as well as experience leading teams and taking care of visitors. We know you will appreciate Manon’s organisation, attention to detail, timeliness, and capacity to hold the bigger picture while staying calm and present as much as we do.

In the kitchen, Hannah leads the design and planting of our kitchen garden and food forest, as well as reaching out and connecting with farms and growers as we continue to source as much as we can of our food locally. In 2025 she will be joined by Flor in the kitchen to share in the creation of the delicious, nourishing meals that are such a highlight for our guests.


Online, Helen has recently been joined by Madeleine to support us telling our story, spreading the word about our retreats, events and community offerings, and documenting our journey as we go. Her beautiful photographs continue to showcase not only the work that happens, but the energy, heart and natural beauty that radiates from the land.

And of course Rory continues to bring his energy and creativity to developing the space, with a new chillout deck, tipi space, and an expanded living space to accommodate our growing family.


We’d love to welcome you to one of our upcoming retreats, gatherings or events.
