Autumn Restorative Retreat ~ April 29 – May 2, 2021, at Taupo Luxury Holiday Retreat, Acacia Bay, Taupo.
|
Just moments away from the tranquil waters of Acacia Bay, this retreat venue is perfectly situated for relaxation and rest. Autumn is a time to draw inwards, restore balance and reflect on our journey through the year. Take some time to enjoy the turning colours of the trees and nurture your body with the space, nutrition and pampering it craves. In this stunningly beautiful setting we will connect with Nature, practice gentle, restorative yoga, bathe in hot pools and learn self-care habits that will sustain us through the winter and beyond.

Taupo Retreat villa is in a magical location of Acacia Bay. As you approach the homestead you soon become aware of the quiet - the lack of traffic noise and neighbours. It is the perfect setting for a yoga retreat where you will be able to focus on exquisite self-care. The villa has been designed with luxury in mind - with modern furnishings, understated style and the utmost comfort. Whatever the weather presents, you will be comfortable - with an open fire and gas fire for chilly days and air conditioning if the days are unseasonably warm. Participants will be able to make use of all the facilities, including the luxuriously appointed bedrooms and spacious, manicured grounds. We will gather for our yoga sessions and communal plant-based meals.
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 Itinerary. With Taupo on our doorstep there will be opportunity to explore the region and its stunning scenery.
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.
