Autumn Restorative Retreat ~ April 29 – May 2, 2021, at Taupo Luxury Holiday Retreat, Acacia Bay, Taupo
In the quiet and the beauty of Lake Taupo and its surrounds, take some time to pamper your body and restore your energy. 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 walk among the beauty of Acacia Bay (weather permitting!). Checkout the full Itinerary. With Taupo on our doorstep there will be opportunity to explore the region and its stunning scenery.

Participants have full use of Taupo Retreat villa and its beautifully manicured grounds. Stroll among the herbs and shrubs, sit and drink a relaxing cup of herbal tea on the patio - or jump in the hot tub. It's all there for your comfort. As rest is perhaps one of the more important elements of a retreat, participants can look forward to a good night's sleep in the luxuriously appointed bedrooms.
We will gather for our yoga sessions and communal plant-based meals.
Hot pool bathing
The volcanic region of Taupo is famous for its thermal pools and participants on the retreat will have a VIP service to DeBretts hot springs. The springs are kept at a temperature range of 38 to 41 °C (100.4 to 105.8 °F). The warmth of the water along with its mineral components is known to induce a feeling of deep relaxation. We will travel together to enjoy a dip in the waters. There may be the opportunity to enjoy spa treatments (as an addition to the retreat).
As with all my retreats, there will be plenty of space for reflection, relaxation and deep rest. Lake Taupo is set in an area of outstanding natural beauty, where the peace and tranquility of Nature is close at hand. Just a 5 minute walk from the villa and you are on the shores of Acacia Bay.
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.

If you can't make it to this retreat, I'm planning others – sign up to my email list and you will be first to know about them. I'm currently taking bookings for a Cape South Spring Rejuvenate Retreat in spring 2021. The 2020 retreat was wonderful - read what people said about it here.
