Step away from the busyness of everyday life and gift yourself an afternoon of calm, connection and healing. Set in the peaceful surrounds of “Moyvane” farm in rural Southland, this retreat is a special chance to slow down, breathe deeply and re-centre in the beauty of nature. Together, we’ll explore simple yet powerful practices including meditation, mindful movement, quiet reflection, and time in silence. We’ll also use nature as a healing resource, tuning into its stillness and grounding energy. This time is experiential – no pressure, no expectations – just gentle guidance and space to be. Perfect for wāhine looking for tools to support anxiety, stress, pain, sleep troubles or a busy mind, this retreat will leave you feeling nourished and more in tune with your own inner wisdom.
