Relax & Unwind ~ dates to be confirmed for 2021 at Maruia Hot Springs Luxury spa, Lewis Pass, West Coast, New Zealand.
This long-awaited retreat has a focus on cleansing the body, slowing down and gathering energy. We have all been through an unprecedented time of uncertainty and stress due to the Covid-19 outbreak. Now is the perfect opportunity to take time for ourselves to replenish our bodies, minds and spirits. And what better place to do this than the serene and nurturing environment of Maruia Hot Springs, a luxury spa set in the mountainous landscape of the Lewis Pass National Reserve. In the quiet of this setting we will connect with Nature, still our busy minds and unwind.
Deep rest is of great benefit to the body. On this retreat we will nourish our bodies with delicious, healthy food and ease our minds with gentle meditative practices. Reflecting on our journey through the year and all we have learned, we will gain a deeper understanding of our needs and where we want to go from here. Safety and a feeling of ease will be a priority on this retreat – and we will be following government guidelines with respect to Covid-19. Scrupulous hygiene practices and limited numbers will ensure that we can come together safely, keeping an appropriate distance, while enjoying the community that such retreats offer.
The foundation of our days will be gentle yoga sessions that connect body and mind and restore a sense of balance. As part of the retreat we will explore new mindful practices to lead us into a place of stillness and inner peace. These include creative journalling and mindful colouring-in, where no artistic ability is necessary! We will also practice a 'walking meditation' technique, taking a morning forest walk among the beauty and soothing presence of the trees. Checkout the Itinerary.
As with all my retreats, there will be plenty of space for reflection, relaxation and rest. Maruia Hot Springs is set in the Lewis Pass Scenic Reserve, an area of outstanding natural beauty, where the beauty of Nature is close at hand. Accommodation at Maruia Hot Springs is designed with privacy and comfort in mind. Classic and Deluxe rooms are situated along private terraces with pleasant views. New cosy 'glamping pods' offer a lower cost treat of being up-close to Nature in comfort. As well as our program of activities, guests have full access to the spa's relaxing hot thermal pools and cold plunge pools. Spa beauty treatments are also available for an additional charge on request.
