Find Your Inner Peace in New Zealand's Natural Sanctuary

Each day begins with an optional sunrise meditation, followed by a nourishing breakfast. Morning sessions typically include guided meditation and mindfulness practices. Afternoons offer a mix of personal reflection time, nature walks, and specialized workshops. Evenings include gentle relaxation practices and group sharing circles. All activities are optional, allowing you to create a retreat experience that serves your needs.

Our retreat center offers comfortable, mindfully designed accommodations that blend with the natural surroundings. Options range from private rooms to shared cottages, all with views of either the mountains or the bay. Amenities include organic linens, eco-friendly toiletries, meditation cushions, yoga mats, and access to our library of wellness resources. All meals are prepared using fresh, locally sourced ingredients, with options for various dietary needs.

We recommend bringing comfortable clothing suitable for meditation and outdoor activities, a water bottle, sun protection, a journal, any personal meditation items, and any necessary medications. Weather in Golden Bay can vary, so layers are recommended. We provide all meditation cushions, blankets, and yoga mats, though you're welcome to bring your own if preferred.

No prior meditation or mindfulness experience is necessary. Our retreats welcome participants of all levels, from complete beginners to experienced practitioners. Our skilled facilitators provide appropriate guidance for everyone. The Weekend Serenity Escape and Nature Immersion Week are particularly suitable for beginners, while the Transformative Journey retreat can accommodate more advanced practices for experienced meditators.

Our retreat center is located in Golden Bay, accessible via Nelson Airport, which has regular connections to major New Zealand cities. From Nelson, it's approximately a 2.5-hour scenic drive. We offer a shuttle service from Nelson on retreat start dates (additional fee applies) or can provide detailed directions for those driving themselves. The journey itself is part of the retreat experience, as you travel through some of New Zealand's most beautiful landscapes.
