Deep Dive and Thrive - Matariki Retreat

Collectively, we have emerged from a trying couple of years and a very unsettling start to the year here in Auckland.

It has taken a toll on all of us in one way or another. 

Have you been feeling fatigued and stuck recently? Or overwhelmed and exhausted? Like you are languishing in survival mode, with no energy to rise and shine? Like there is no time to focus on you or what matters in your life? Like you are just running in circles, going nowhere?

When was the last time you felt radiantly happy, healthy, and fulfilled?

Matariki is the beginning of a new life cycle in Te Ao Maori. It is an auspicious time to press pause, let go of the old, celebrate the present and welcome in the new beginnings.

It’s the time to deep dive, rest, reset, restore and thrive. You will and regain your mojo and leave energised to engage with your life wholeheartedly.

Join Maya Nova and Wendy Douglas for this weekend of holistic, deep self-awareness and self-care designed to restore your wellbeing - the experience of abundant vitality, contentment and joy and a clear sense of purpose.

We will engage in the mind and body vitality restoring practices:

• Self-awareness, self-love and self-compassion
• Meditation
• Mindfulness in nature
• Yoga (flow-based ashtanga and yin)
• Time to reflect and set intentions

Aiowira centre is a safe, beautiful place located in the lush tranquillity of the Waitakere ranges, only a 30-minute drive from Auckland City.

Delicious, organic, vegetarian food will be served. There is a sauna and spa on-site and warm fires in the common rooms. Once you register, we will be in touch with more information.
