The Art of Self-Care Ayurveda Retreat, NZ 

12 September – 15 September 2024

Hosts: Kirstie Cleary and The Yoga Travel Co.

Venue: Cape South Wellness Retreat, Waimarama, Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand (See map)

 
 

This 3-night women’s-only retreat is inspired by the wisdom of a holistic mind/body system of health called Ayurveda.

Cocooned in a stunning French colonial-style homestead surrounded by fragrant gardens, you’ll explore the timeless wisdom of the multi-dimensional health system called Ayurveda. This practical offering includes daily yoga, and Ayurveda workshops addressing foundational Ayurvedic principles, daily routine, self-massage, and spices as kitchen medicine. Woven throughout the weekend are spacious times for you to relax and enjoy the magnesium pool, sauna, and hot tub.

This retreat is for women who want to learn about a preventative system of self-care that will serve them well over their entire life span. You’ll discover your unique mind/body type, tendencies towards imbalance, and ways to help restore balance. This includes everyday nutrition and lifestyle guidance, and a nourishing daily routine to optimise gut health, reduce stress, and amplify rejuvenation.

We provide an authentic Ayurvedic experience in synch with nature’s rhythms – a harmonious way of doing and being that will immediately begin the healing process of restoring balance. You’ll experience the innate goodness and common sense of Ayurvedic protocols, and how to apply Ayurveda’s simple but powerful principles to every aspect of your life.

 

This is for you if:

  • You want a system of preventative medicine and self-care that allows you to take more responsibility for your health and wellbeing.

  • You want to learn how to eliminate/reduce gut issues that currently cause discomfort and to protect your digestive strength moving forward.

  • You want a range of practical, cost-effective self-care protocols that can easily be woven into your current life.

  • You feel overwhelmed by conflicting health advice, and want a holistic and effective self-care framework to address current imbalances.

  • You feel disconnected from your inner wisdom and want support to reawaken this deep level of knowledge and intuition in yourself.

  • You want to establish a deeper and more harmonious relationship with yourself and your environment.

‘Offering yourself moments of self-care doesn’t mean that you care less for others. Someone who nourishes their body, mind, and spirit is tending to The Whole. This goodness ripples out like a gift to be shared with loved ones, community, and world.’

— Kirstie Cleary

 
 

Amazing retreat, my first one and it fulfilled all my expectations. I came away feeling nourished, balanced, and ready to action things that I have learnt from the weekend into my life.

Kirstie and Bridget were brilliant hosts / facilitators. They were both very knowledgeable and skilled in their areas.
