New Zealand Beach Womens Mothers Retreat

NEW ZEALAND

Dear  Mama Bird,

Looking to rediscover your wild? Interested in connecting with your authentic self, that part of you that may have gotten a little lost between your kids' sports practice and bedtime routines?

Maybe you're looking for connection and community, a chance to relax, re-energize, and re-emerge a slightly sparklier version of yourself. 

At Mother Wild’s first retreat Down Under, expect deep belly laughter and cleansing tears, realizations and inspiration, as we move through yoga practices, journaling, workshops, meditations, breathwork, sauna sessions, icy dips, deep conversations and even deeper rest. 

Designed with local and international guests in mind, the retreat is offered in two parts:

- A three-night stay on Auckland’s Waiheke Island, famous for its vineyards (we love a bit of de-tox and re-tox), golden sandy beaches and laid-back pace. 

Followed by:

- A two-night weekend getaway surrounded by nature in the Waitakere Ranges, a rugged mountain range west of Auckland famous for its dramatic coastline and lush native forest. 

Participants can opt for the full five-day retreat, making the most of New Zealand’s natural beauty with a bush and beach experience; or they can take a two-night reset in the heart of the 16,000 hectares of regenerating native forest that make up the Waitakeres.

Come soothe your nervous system, awaken your inner vitality, and nourish your well-being.

Q&As

  • Inspiring sheroes in need of some vitamin R: to rest, refresh, recharge, rejuvenate, recalibrate, reassess, revitalize, reprioritize, and retreat.

  • Because the food will be delicious, the nature divine, and the post retreat effects are better than napping.

  • Taking time for yourself is not selfish. We all need time to rest and recharge and to reconnect with ourselves. We can’t full from an empty cup. Trying to do so makes us more tired and resentful and definitely not the version of ourselves that we want to be. Take time for you. You deserve it and nobody is going to give you permission to do so until you give yourself permission.
