🌿 Reconnect. Release. Renew. 🌿
Step away from the noise and into a day of deep nourishment, healing, and self-connection at Te Whenua Retreat in the breathtaking Gibbston Valley.
This one-day retreat is a heart-led, soul-aligned experience designed to support your nervous system and gently guide you back to yourself. Unlike traditional workshops, this isn’t about theory or overthinking — it’s an embodied, intuitive space to feel, receive, and remember what’s true.
Held within a grounded and nourishing container, the day offers a blend of structure and flow, ritual and rest. You’ll be invited to tune into the energy of the season and your own inner landscape — whether that means meeting your inner child, softening into shadow work, or simply coming home to your body and breath.
We weave together healing practices and transpersonal exploration in a way that’s connective, supported, and sacred — allowing just enough space for the mystery to move.
What to Expect
Sacred Reset is a one-day retreat designed to regulate your nervous system, reconnect you with your deeper self, and gently explore whatever is present for you right now.
This is not a high-energy workshop or a space for pushing through. It’s a restorative, heart-led experience that may include:
- Guided meditation & intention setting
- A personal theme gently woven through the day — such as inner child healing, self-love, purpose, personal power, communication, emotional release, or shadow integration.
- Gentle movement and grounding practices (no yoga experience required)
- Time for reflection, journaling, or rest
- A healing sound journey with Lena Rae
- Therapeutic circle space for safe sharing & heart lead connection
- Plant-based, nourishing food & nourishing tea
- Spaciousness to simply be and receive
You’ll be gently held in a structured but spacious rhythm — with moments of stillness, guidance, connection, and soulful depth.
Who This Is For
This retreat is for you if:
- You’re craving a rest from the noise, pressure, or busyness of life
- You want to feel more connected to yourself — emotionally, spiritually, and energetically
- Your nervous system needs a gentle reset
- You’re drawn to healing, self-exploration, or intuitive/spiritual growth
- You long for a space that feels safe, soft, and sacred — where you can be heard, seen, and held, to gently reconnect with your own inner wisdom.
- You want to be met where you’re at, so that the day isn’t a task to complete. . .
This is not just a retreat from your life, it’s a sacred space to deepen your inner relationship with self.
Through guided practices and immersive modalities, you’ll explore meaningful themes that meet you exactly where you are. The pace is gentle, the experience personal. You’ll leave feeling reset, realigned, and renewed, with insights that ripple through your everyday life.
Think of this day as a creative, embodied therapy session for your whole self, offering space for inner reflection, contemplation, insight, transformation, and integration.
