Welcome Home Retreat

11-13 October // Wanaka //

WITH SARAH MENLOVE & KATE WATKINSON

Heart, Soul, Shine

Welcome Home. This women’s retreat is for women who have a soul longing for home. Your home of innate wisdom, intuition, power and truth. Your home of feeling safe and empowered to be you.

ARE YOU READY TO BE WELCOMED HOME?

Join us for a transformative journey at our WELCOME HOME Women’s Retreat. During our time together we explore what ‘Welcome Home’ means:

Our inner compass, wisdom, love, soul
A place of safety where you can embrace your vulnerability and self-worth
It’s the place where you feel like you belong, where you are loved for who you are
Building your home inside yourself
Tools to overcome inner homelessness
Remembering who we are at our essence – a divine being
When do we feel ‘at home’?
What takes us away from ‘home’?

Immerse yourself in the sublime energies of cacao, breathwork, Yoga, meditation, embodied dance and the femnine art of Qoya, all while indulging in delectable, superhero-inspired wholefoods.

Walk away remembering your home, your deep wise woman power, feeling refreshed, and carrying the radiant energy of this experience as you go forth with your life!

If your heart echoes a resounding ‘HECK YES!’ to this experience, then this retreat is tailor-made for you.
