✨ WINTER WISDOM ✨
Women’s Day Retreat | Black Swamp Dojo, Mangawhai
Sunday 28th June | 10AM–4PM

Winter invites us to slow down.
To soften and to turn inward.

Often the most transformative growth happens quietly beneath the surface — in the moments of rest, stillness and the inner work.

In a world that constantly asks women to keep pushing and doing more, this retreat is an invitation to slow down and honour the season — because not every season is for blooming; some are for nourishing the roots 🌿

Join me for a nourishing mid-winter day retreat designed to support your nervous system and help you reconnect with yourself through rest, reflection and gentle practices you can take home into everyday life.

Together we’ll explore:
• Gentle embodied yoga
• Nervous system workshop + practical tools
• Journaling + reflection
• Guided meditation + breathwork
• Sound Journey with Body of light
• Sauna
• Nourishing lunch by Mexikana, snacks + herbal teas
• Space to slow down, breathe and simply be

This day is for the woman craving softness, grounding, connection and a deep exhale this winter 🤍

Limited Early Bird $180 | Standard $220
Payment plans available.

Limited spaces available.

You can be doing all the “right” things. Eating nourishing food, taking supplements, and moving your body.

And still feel completely exhausted.

Why? Because it isn’t just what you do for your health that matters.

It’s the state your body is in while you’re doing it.

If your nervous system is constantly stuck in fight-or-flight mode (which so many of us are, just trying to keep up with daily life), your body simply cannot absorb the good things you’re giving it.

Food isn’t digested as easily.
Sleep isn’t as deep.
Energy becomes a rollercoaster.

Here’s what we know..

Your body needs to feel safe to heal.

This is why our retreats are built the way they are.

We don’t just offer a beautiful location.

Through nourishing food, restorative sleep, gentle movement, connecting with nature, restorative sessions, and intentional stillness, we help your body remember how to return to calm.

Not to push harder. To finally, deeply rest.

Because when your body feels safe enough to rest, that’s when the real healing begins. 🌿

Sleep isn’t a luxury... it’s a foundation 💤 As women, our bodies are deeply sensitive and cyclical, and sleep is where the real healing happens.

Hormones regulate
Nervous system resets
Energy, mood and skin restore

When we’re undersleep, we often stay stuck in fight or flight mode, feeling wired, overwhelmed, and disconnected from ourselves.

Most women need 8 to 9 hours of sleep, not the 6 to 7 we’ve been told is “normal.

Ask yourself honestly, are you getting enough sleep?

If you know sleep is an area you need to prioritise, start with small steps:

Wind down earlier (even 10 minutes helps)
Dim lights in the evening
Swap scrolling and screens for something calming like reading
Go to bed 30 minutes earlier
Try a warm herbal tea before bed

At our retreats, sleep and intentional rest are a core pillar. Because true wellness begins when your body feels safe enough to rest 💛
