Rewild Retreat: An Expedition of Self Discovery - Waitata Bay / Pelorus Sound 27th Feb to 3rd March 2025

This will be an expedition that helps you cultivate self awareness, explore areas of self development, connect with like minded individuals, reinvigorate your zest for life, experience challenging & fun outdoor adventures, express yourself creatively, and drop into mindful practices that can reset the mind, body & spirit. Think of it like Outward Bound meets a more creative & feminine twist.

The ethos behind Rewild Retreats is one of connection, empowerment and embodiment. The intention that drives Rewild is to help you get started on this journey, continue this path or to help you find your way back to your own self discovery. Bringing together different modalities, practices, adventures, creative expression, community, and connection to wild nature, we are able to bring about powerful transformation and really flip the script on how we perceive ourselves and what we are truly capable of.

Rediscover and reclaim parts of you that you had forgotten about or never knew you had. Explore your relationship with the wild around you and the wild within. See yourself through another person's eyes and witness the vitality & fierceness that you hold. Share your stories and hear others as we hold space for each other & connect on a deeper level. Explore your emotional landscape and start to unpack the layers of you. Dive deep as we explore techniques and tools to feel more confident, more self aware, &  understanding of our self worth. Rediscovering our passions, our intentions and reconnecting to our bodies. Reigniting or stoking the flames that keep us living a more meaningful life aligned with the values that mean most to us. 

Waitata Bay Lodge in the Pelorus Sound, is our home for this journey and it really is a special place! A 5 day/ 4 night immersion adventure into what it is to Rewild, to embody your essence and explore the power of transformation and self discovery. We will get a chance to completely disconnect with our everyday world, and really reconnect with ourselves, each other, and some of the most remote & wild parts of Aotearoa. 

However, your journey does not start in Waitata Bay. We have put a long lead in to this event because we want to get you started on this journey now, in your current environment where we all need this help most. Over the course of the next few months we will have 2 x zoom sessions where you get to experience customised coaching & counselling to suit your needs. We will dive into some somatic practices & guided meditations, share what's coming up for us and discuss what we'd like to achieve on this journey. A place to start diving in and setting our intentions. This powerful prep work will culminate into our rewilding adventures in Pelorus Sound in Feb/March 2025.
