YOGA & WELLNESS RETREAT
Connect to the Goddess

Now on 18-22 March 2026

Braemar Lodge, Hanmer Springs, New Zealand

You’ve Done “Fine.” Now It’s Time to Feel Fully Alive.

You know your life looks good from the outside—but feels empty on the inside.

You’re done going through the motions. You want passion, vitality, and joy. You want your life to light you up again. And you’re finally ready to stop tolerating what no longer serves you.

Over four transformational days in Hanmer Springs, you’ll reconnect with the real you—the woman who is radiant, wise, creative, and powerful. Guided by the feminine energies of the yoga goddesses Kali, Saraswati, and Lakshmi, you’ll move through a journey of release, remembrance, and receiving.

Kali will help you let go of the roles, beliefs, and patterns that are keeping you stuck.

Saraswati will reconnect you with your voice, your clarity, and your truth.

And Lakshmi will remind you how to receive joy, ease, pleasure, and beauty—right now, not later.

You’ll walk away from this retreat with your sparkle back.

Because you will be aligned with and anchored into what’s true for you.

You’ll return home clear, confident, and creatively alive—with a new map for living the the next stage of your life with passion, purpose, and pleasure.

This is more than a reset.
This is your time to create a life that turns you on.

Set in the healing landscape of Hanmer Springs, surrounded by thermal waters, mountain air, and ancient forest, this retreat offers the space and support you need to rediscover yourself—without distraction, guilt, or pressure.

Join us 18–22 March 2026 in Hanmer Springs.
This is your turning point.
Let go of what no longer fits.
And design a life you can’t wait to wake up to.
