Where

The retreat will take place at a beautiful private property located at 1004 Plymouth Rd, New Plymouth, View on Google maps. This serene venue offers a stunning forest and a crystal-clear river perfect for the dip, providing the ideal setting for our mini retreat.

Please note that from the start of the activity at 9:00 AM until 11:15 AM, we will be outdoors with no toilet facilities or sheltered places to change. As we are in the forest, you are welcome to use the river for a quick pee or change in the bush if needed. After the cool river dip, face yoga will be held outdoors, allowing you to connect with nature while rejuvenating your face. The partner massage will take place indoors, and you will have 30 minutes to get changed, freshen up, and use the toilet, which includes the time to walk back from the forest to the house before the massage session.

We encourage you to arrive 10 minutes early to settle in and fully enjoy the experience.
