Autumn Restorative Retreat ~ April 29 – May 2, 2021, at Taupo Luxury Holiday Retreat, was a time of rest and reflection
|
In the quiet and the beauty of Lake Taupo and its surrounds, we took some time to pamper our bodies and restore our energy. The foundation of our days was gentle yoga sessions that connected body and mind and restored a sense of balance. As part of the retreat explored new mindful practices to led us into a place of stillness and inner peace. These included creative journalling and mindful colouring-in. We will practiced a 'walking meditation' technique, taking a walk among the beauty of Acacia Bay.

Participants had full use of Taupo Retreat villa and its beautifully manicured grounds where we could 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 was very comfortable and relaxing. As rest is perhaps one of the more important elements of a retreat, participants were able to get a a good night's sleep in the luxuriously appointed bedrooms.
Social time is part of every retreat and we gathered daily for yoga sessions and communal plant-based meals.
Hot pool bathing
The volcanic region of Taupo is famous for its thermal pools and participants enjoyed 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. Additional spa treatments were available for participants at extra cost.
As with all Amanda's retreats, there was 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 always be a priority on my retreats – and we follow government guidelines with respect to Covid-19. Scrupulous hygiene practices and limited numbers ensure that we can come together safely, keeping an appropriate distance, while enjoying the community that such retreats offer.
