Soul Awakening Retreat

Recalibrate your nervous system on this heart-centred journey to discovering your highest self.

Tutukaka, Whangārei, New Zealand
17th - 20th October 2024

Soul Awakening:

Join our transformational 4-day women’s retreat packed with self-discovery & spiritual healing tools:

  • Learn how to feel more resilient in this busy world by recalibrating your nervous system.

  • Discover community & connection with like-minded women supporting, empowering & uplifting each other.

  • Holistic well-being: practice daily yoga, meditation & nourish yourself from the inside with nutritious meals.

  • Spending time connecting with nature away from the hustle & bustle of the city.

  • Ceremonial Cacao

    Daily ceremonial cacao awakens the senses, opens the heart and allows us to enter a deeper state of meditation. We combine this with pranayama (breathwork) to discover new stages of our healing journey.

  • Daily Yoga Practices

    Morning yoga asana will provide the body with mindful movement to allow the energy to move and emotions to be processed. Afternoon yoga nidra will give the mind a chance to rest & recharge.

  • Dharma Circles

    Group coaching & dharma circles offer a supportive & empowering place for growth. While we do have overall topics specific to Soul Awakening, all circles vary by retreat groups, depending on the healing needed.

  • Fire Ceremony

    Finishing our retreat weekend with a fire ceremony allows us to feel a sense of completeness within our transformation of the weekend. A powerful way to make commitment to yourself.
