It’s about getting closer - to your body, to nature, to the kind of company that makes you feel whole again.

Three days of movement, stillness, creative play, nourishing connection, eating real food, and sleeping well.

A small gathering of women, with a river outside the door, and space to breathe.

Waihōanga is the best kind of summer camp for grown-ups — native woodland, a babbling stream, a yurt in the garden, long communal tables, and a fire pit under the stars.

Our focus is on activating your own self-healing, that spontaneous sense of wholeness that happens in the embrace of nature.

Awaken (Sat and Sun)
Gather for morning practice with Bridget. Slow flow, intuitive movement and conscious breath. Soft and gentle.

Create Insight
A guided creative visualisation offering with Heather, to help you hear what you already know about what your body and spirit are calling out for.

Self-Tending with food
A self-healing cooking demonstration and tasting. Watch, taste, help, ask questions, and leave with the knowledge to recreate it at home.

Self-Tending with Scent
A slow, sensory experience of deliberate befriending of ourselves, using a bespoke healing flower oil created for our Retreat by Sarah Till.

Sweet Surrender (Fri and Sat)
Gather for an evening rest nest - gentle movement, restorative shapes, and guided rest, to surrender into stillness.

What’s included
All options include all meals (including plentiful snacks, tea and coffee and juices), your accommodation, all elements of the programme, and full retreat facilitation. All linen and towels included.

Shared Accommodation in the Lodge
Comfy bunks (bottom bunks only!) in shared rooms - clean, well set-up, and the full communal experience. Maximum affordability at $660 earlybird (deposit of $220 secures your spot).

Twin Accommodation in a Hut
Ideal for friends who want to Retreat together. These will go quickly so get in quick, and book together. ($800 earlybird, 30% deposit secures your spot.)

Solo Accommodation
Your own private pod in the grounds - characterful, simple and entirely your own. Same full experience, with a little more solitude. Book early - there are only a maximum of three so we expect these to sell out first. ($960 earlybird, $320 deposit secures your spot)
