From Scratch Retreat Weekend in Hunua 🌱

A weekend to slow down, reconnect, create and make space for what’s next.

Saturday 28 to Sunday 29 November in Hunua.

We're getting out of the city for a day and evening together in Hunua, hosted at our own member Emily Melhuish's beautiful home and surrounded by nature.

Starting something from scratch can be exciting, but it can also feel like a lot to carry on your own.

So we're creating a little space to step away from the noise, put the to-do list down, and spend some unhurried time with women who are also building, changing, figuring things out and finding their way.

Expect good food, movement, creativity, honest conversations, a campfire and plenty of time to simply be.

Come as you are. You don't need to have anything figured out.

Saturday 28 November

Arrive & Opening Circle
Settle in, meet the group and begin the day together.

Movement
Get outside, move our bodies and ease into the day.

Long Lunch
We’ll prepare lunch together, enjoy good food and conversation, and take our time connecting with one another.

Art & Creative Session
A chance to get out of our heads and into our hands. No artistic experience required just come ready to play and experiment.

Long Dinner
Let’s cook and share a delicious dinner together, lovely conversation and plenty of time to connect as we ease into the evening.

A Space to Connect
An open and lightly facilitated space to slow down, share, reflect and have the kinds of conversations we don't always make time for. Bring a question, a challenge, something you're navigating or simply come and listen. We'll see where the conversation takes us.

Campfire
Wind down around the fire with drinks, stories, laughter and the kind of conversations that happen when there's nowhere else you need to be.

Stay overnight or head home

The overnight is completely optional. You’re welcome to head home after the evening, or stay and make a full retreat of it.

If you’d like to stay, please bring your own sleeping bag and mattress/camping mat. There will be space to sleep at the house, but this will be a cosy, informal communal setup rather than hotel-style accommodation.

Whether you stay overnight or head home the overnight is simply an option for those who'd like to stay a little longer and join us for brunch the next morning.

Sunday 29 November

Slow Brunch & Farewell
Wake up slowly, grab a coffee, share one last meal together and head home feeling a little more rested and connected.

Brunch is optional for those staying overnight.

What is From Scratch?

A supportive community of women who are interested in helping one another tackle the journey of starting something new.

Carving a new path all on your own is not an easy feat. It's so much easier (and more fun!) when you're surrounded by a lovely community that's there to help you throughout your journey.

We'll pull you out of the low lows, support you when you need help, and celebrate the big wins together.

You don't need to be a founder — we welcome anyone who is ambitious, creative, and interested in making a difference. Whether you're freelancing, building something big, pivoting careers, or just craving real, inspiring and encouraging conversation, this is your space.

If you know someone starting from scratch who would benefit from joining our community, please share this invite with them :)

Who's behind From Scratch?

Hi :) We're A-Chau and Katharina. We both found ourselves starting again from scratch and wanted to create the kind of community we wished we'd had along the way.

We're excited to bring a small group of women together for this special weekend and create a little space to slow down, connect and enjoy the journey together.

Looking forward to spending the weekend with you!
