Soul Awakening: Mini Retreat

Saturday 28th March • 10am • Hawea Flat

An autumn gathering of balance, release, and inner harvest.

Ladies, as the wheel of the year turns and we pass through the autumn equinox, you are invited into a gentle pause.

Soul Journey is a half-day mini retreat created to help you slow down, soften inward, and honour this powerful threshold. Mabon is a time of balance between light and dark, a moment to reflect on what has grown over the past months, what you are ready to harvest, and what you are gently preparing to release as we move towards the full moon.

This is a deeply nourishing morning to come home to yourself. To ground into your body, steady your nervous system, and listen to the quiet wisdom beneath the noise of everyday life.

We will begin by sharing a heart-opening cup of ceremonial cacao, a sacred plant medicine that supports reflection, gratitude, and embodied presence. Cacao invites us to drop out of the mind and into the heart, creating a beautiful foundation for the practices that follow.

From here, you’ll be guided through grounding breathwork, slow and spacious yin yoga, and a guided meditation attuned to the energy of autumn. These practices are designed to support release, integration, and recalibration, helping you align with the seasonal shift and the fullness that the approaching full moon illuminates.

This Soul Journey Retreat is for you if you’re feeling a little stretched, seeking clarity, or simply craving time to be held in a calm, intentional space. You’ll leave feeling more centred, connected, and resourced from within.

What to expect:

✨ A nourishing cup of ceremonial cacao
✨ Grounding breathwork to settle the nervous system
✨ A deeply restorative yin yoga practice
✨ Guided meditation aligned with the autumn equinox and full moon energy
✨ Space to reflect, integrate, and reconnect with your inner wisdom

All you need to bring is your open heart, journal and a water bottle, everything else is provided.

Ready to journey inward and close your year with intention? Claim your space and join us for this soul-nourishing morning. I can’t wait to share this sacred space with you.

FAQs

  • Ceremonial cacao is a 100% pure cacao-bean paste that has been used in sacred ceremonies for centuries. Known for its heart-opening properties, cacao helps deepen meditation, enhances clarity, and brings a sense of calm, allowing you to connect more fully with your inner self.

    We'll mix it with coconut milk, spices & a little maple syrup to sweeten the deal. (Please let me know if any of these ingredients aren't suitable for you.)

    Ceremonial cacao is generally safe, but it does contain a small amount of caffeine, which is why I'm sharing it with you in the morning. If you have any concerns, feel free to reach out to me.

  • Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes that allow for easy movement. All props (mats, bolsters, blankets) will be provided, so you just need to bring your favourite pen & journal, and you may wish to bring a water bottle.

  • No previous experience is required. This gathering is for all levels. I will guide you through the breathwork and meditation practices, making sure you feel supported throughout.

  • Soul Journey will run for approximately 2.5 hours. Please arrive 5-10 minutes early to have time to settle in to our space.

    If finances are holding you back from the full investment at this time, please reach out as I do have a limited number of spaces available at a discounted rate.

  • Soul Journey is being held in the serene DOME Yoga nestled in Hawea Flat. This peaceful geodesic dome, set in a tranquil rural landscape just 20 minutes from Wanaka, offers the perfect sanctuary to switch off and reconnect. Your experience will begin the moment you step onto the grounds, as the beauty and calm of the surroundings invite you into stillness before you even step through the door.

  • Yin yoga and meditation are generally safe during pregnancy, but please consult with your healthcare provider before joining the event. Please let me know in advance so I can offer any necessary modifications.

  • Danielle created a lovely, welcoming and calming space. The retreat was very restorative and a great way to meet and feel connected to like-minded people. Her meditation and restorative yoga style was very calming and had a lovely relaxed pace.

  • Danielle is a beautiful soul. I was lucky to attend one of her Woman’s Circles while visiting Wanaka. It was a carefully curated, nurturing and healing space where she guided and supported us in sharing our stories. If you have the opportunity to go one of her events, do. You won’t regret it 🙌
