Are you interested in what an average day at Aro Ha looks like? Here’s a sneak peek of how you might spend a spacious 6-days ...

🌅 Sunrise Yoga: Start the day in an award winning eco Yoga Shala, gazing out over Lake Wakatipu.

🍲 Energising breakfast: Friendly chefs share their holistic health secrets through absolutely delicious and nourishing meals.

🏔️Guided Hike: A highlight. Explore the terrain around Aro Ha with professional guides who will help you climb mountains! So good for the body. Incredible for the soul.

🫛Nutrient-rich lunch: Gather at the communal dining table for a delicious, satisfying meal.

🧖🏼‍♀️ Rejuvenation and spa time: Utilise the sauna and cold plunge, journal against a stunning backdrop, rest.

💆🏼‍♂️ Therapeutic massage: Daily massages are seen as essential to counteracting sore muscles working hard on the hikes.

💡My session: Learn my strategies for taking all this goodness home with you in the form of good habits. At Aro Ha, I share my private coaching techniques to help you create a life filled with all the things you care about, in a way that’s entirely achieveable.

🫘 Dinner: Gather to close the day with a beautiful meal.

🧘Yin Yoga or spa time: Finish the day in a way that works for you.

🦚I’ve always said that the magic of Aro Ha is not about the 6-days you spend there, but the seeds you plant for a life-well lived. The benefits of this program go far beyond the retreat itself. Without exaggeration, I can tell you this will be life-changing.

As we get closer to our stunning retreat at in early May, I’ve been thinking about what makes it so wonderful.

If I could choose one thing to capture the magic, I would say this:

At Aro Ha, all the hard things around health become effortless.

What do I mean by this?

Well, at a base level, we all know what we need to do, but good habits are hard to cultivate in the assault of modern life (think sedentary lifestyle, convenience food).

At Aro Ha, it’s easy to give “good” a red hot go, because all the heavy lifting is done for you through amazing healthy meals, guided movement, immersive workshops.

It’s the closest I’ve come to feeling total and vibrant health - and honestly, the benefits last well beyond our 6-days at Aro Ha.

Even now, almost a year on from our last retreat, I can tell you that life looks different in all the right ways and I’m excited to deepen those learnings this time round too.

Hope that helps explain it 🦚

With only four weeks to go until our , I want to talk about what makes it so good!

Catching up with two friends yesterday, who have both been to Aro Ha previously, I can share these reflections from the group:

🤩 Total health: In a relatively short space of time, you capture an embodied sense of what it means to be truly and vibrantly health.

😎 Effortlessly good: At a base level, we all know what we need to do, but good habits are hard to cultivate in the assault of modern life (think sedentary lifestyle, convenience food). At Aro Ha, it’s easy to give “good” a red hot go, because all the heavy lifting is done for you - think amazing meals, guided movement, immersive workshops.

💪🏽 Hard: This one’s important. Aro Ha is not (necessarily) a place for being idle. If you jump into everything that’s on offer (and that’s totally up to you) the days are full. I like this element because it is not a place where they baby you. Our hikes are challenging, our approach is adult, we are accountable for what we get out of it. A good characteristic to cultivate, don’t you think?

🦚 Spacious: It’s not often you get the headspace to reflect on what you want out of life. The combination of clean food, consistent movement, rest and nature are incredibly conducive to positive thinking and inspired change.

🦋 Long term benefits: A year on from our last retreat and everyone still feels the positive changes in their lives. The investment is not in the 6-days you spend there, but the life you cultivate beyond.

“You are your home, and if you’re happy in your home everything else will be okay,”
I’m paraphrasing but Alicia from said words to that effect around the importance of nurturing the inner self when on the entrepreneurial path.
It’s a new perspective around that critical act of being content with who you are; and the importance of creating an inner world (your home) that you like and feel safe and grounded in.
A great message to take home, along with many others from this breakfast.

An annual tradition by ~ a gathering of great humans, always with an interesting speaker.

In two weeks we’ll be gathering for lunch at a gorgeous local home to acknowledge the great work of regionally based midwives (including Torie) and to raise awareness and support for the expansion of the Special Care Nursery at Orange Base Hospital.

It’s going to be a wonderful day, in memory of Torie and in honour of such important work and facilities.

🏔️ This could be you in May.

I can’t wait to return to in May with a group of guests. Now, having experienced the retreat centre IRL I can say it is everything the pictures portray and more … the guides are warm, down to earth and wonderful; the food is out of this world (and makes you feel like a million bucks), the setting is breathtaking and inspiring, the Yoga is grounding and 5 straight days really shifts things in the mind / body / spirit.

For anyone wanting to put their health front & centre, this one is for you. It’s not just about the week spent there; it’s about the lessons learned for lasting change.

The universe gently places her hands upon your shoulders, pulls you close, and whispers in your ear:⁠
⁠
"I’m not screwing around. All of this pretending and performing—these coping mechanisms that you’ve developed to protect yourself from feeling inadequate and getting hurt—has to go. Your armor is preventing you from growing into your gifts. I understand that you needed these protections when you were small. I understand that you believed your armor could help you secure all of the things you needed to feel worthy and lovable, but you’re still searching and you’re more lost than ever. Time is growing short. There are unexplored adventures ahead of you. You can’t live the rest of your life worried about what other people think. You were born worthy of love and belonging. Courage and daring are coursing through your veins. You were made to live and love with your whole heart. It’s time to show up and be seen."⁠
