Soul Awakening Retreat
Stop Surviving, Start Thriving:
Women’s Retreat in Central Otago, NZ
A 5-day, 4-night seasonal reset for women ready to release burnout, reconnect with Earth, and honour the divine feminine within.
Step Away From Burnout. Step Into Balance.
Wednesday 29 April – Sunday 3 May, 2026
Are you tired of running on empty, pushing through, and feeling like no matter how much you do, it’s never enough?
This women’s retreat in Central Otago is your invitation to pause. To step away from survival mode, and immerse yourself in the grounding beauty of nature, yoga, meditation, and sisterhood.
Over 5 nourishing days together, you’ll receive daily grounding practices like:
Mindful & restorative yoga
Daily yoga nidra, meditation and guided breathwork
Women’s circles and group coaching
Ceremonial cacao and fire rituals
Seasonal workshops on herbs, cycles, and living in rhythm with the earth
All held in our purpose-built retreat venue surrounded by the raw beauty of Central Otago.
From Masculine Doing → to Feminine Flow
Most women today live stuck in the masculine: constant doing, striving, planning, and achieving.
Over time, this leads to burnout, disconnection from the body, and a slow erosion of joy.
This retreat guides you back into feminine flow; the art of being, receiving, softening, and thriving.
Through ritual, rest, earth connection, and sisterhood, you’ll:
Release the belief that your worth is tied to productivity
Discover how to flow with the cycles of the seasons, moon, and your body
Honour the divine feminine through practices that cultivate intuition and presence
Reconnect with your cyclical nature
Experience the nourishment of community, slowness, and ancient wisdom
This is where you stop pushing and start living in alignment with your true rhythm.
This isn’t just time away — it’s a reset that will change how you live.
You may be booking this retreat because you currently feel frazzled, burnt out, foggy-brained.
When you leave, you’ll feel calm, confident, and equipped with tools that support you long after the retreat ends.
You'll leave with:
A simple daily routine you can realistically maintain in this busy world
Daily meditation & breathwork practices to calm your nervous system anytime
Confidence to set boundaries and protect your energy without guilt
A personalised reset plan for continuing your new rhythm at home
Take-home audio practices: grounding meditation, breathwork, yoga nidra
Clarity around your cycles and how to work with your natural rhythms
A follow-up coaching call to support your integration post-retreat
These are the tools that continue supporting you every day — not just during the retreat.

Our Retreat Venue:
Imrama, Central Otago
Just 30 minutes from Wānaka and 1 hour from Queenstown, Imrama is your peaceful, grounding retreat home - a place where your soul’s journey can gently unfold. The name comes from a Celtic term meaning “The Journey of the Soul,” and also carries the essence of Ra (light, sun) and Ma (heart, within), honouring the light within.
Set across 21 hectares of rolling hills, a serene creek, and lush gardens, Imrama is a sanctuary held by nature itself. Surrounded by mountains and open skies, it offers the perfect environment to soften, reconnect, and return to yourself.
Warm, earthy, and deeply nurturing, Imrama Retreat provides space to rest, journal, move, share nourishing meals, and gather in circle under the stars - a true homecoming for the woman ready to remember who she is.
Accommodation Options
We have 3 room types available for our retreat:
Private room with ensuite
Twin share room (sharing with one other lady)
Quad share room (sharing with up to 3 other ladies)
The quad & twin share rooms have use of share bathrooms.
