*(subject to change, like everything else in life)

YOGA/BREATHWORK/MEDITATION - We will enjoy yoga in nature on a wooden deck surrounded by a lush garden during our time in Waiheke and at the Waitakeres we’ll have a spacious studio for our practices. Each day we’ll offer a mix of yoga styles from a more active vinyasa-style yang practice to start our day to a relaxing and deep yin practice as the sun sets.

We may pretend otherwise but everything will revolve around food.

In Waiheke we will have two delicious, vegetarian meals per day and you’ll have your lunch break free to explore the local culinary scene, from cafes to wineries.

In the Waitakere Ranges we’ll have three vegetarian meals a day (and some sweet treats), made with locally sourced ingredients from plant-based chef and cookbook author @TheRecklessFoodie.

This is what her delicious and nourishing food looks like.

FACILITIES - In Waiheke we’ll enjoy contrast therapy, alternating time in the sauna with time in an ice bath. Not a fan of the cold? This is your time. All activities are optional.

In the Waitakere Ranges we’ll have a sauna and a spa pool under the stars. We can also take nature dips in the river that runs through the grounds.

DAILY ‘ME’ TIME - Take a walk. Read and relax in the garden. Swim at the beach or in the river.

For those who want to get out and about, there is so much to do on Waiheke - from hikes to vineyard tours, or you can stroll the cute nearby main street exploring cafes and art galleries. In the Waitakere Ranges there are an abundance of hikes ranging from ten minutes to 90 minutes (Cascade Kauri Park) all accessible from our private sanctuary.

Self-nurturing is also universally encouraged, with holistic treatments and massages.

Or do nothing at all.

The choice is yours.

Getting to the Retreat Location

  • The nearest airport is Auckland International Airport. The ferry to Waiheke Island is from downtown Auckland, about 30-45 minutes from the airport. Karryn can answer any questions about transfers to the ferry terminal and can help arrange transport from the Waitakere’s to the airport

“Even though Karryn has lived abroad for a million years, New Zealand is her homeland. We are so lucky to see the best her native land has to offer with her.”

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 fill from an empty cup. Trying to do so makes us more tired and resentful and definitely not the sparkly 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.
