Shine Your Light

Coming home to self

December 5th – 14th, 2025 | Aotearoa, New Zealand

A once-in-a-lifetime journey through breathtaking landscapes…
and into the deepest connection with yourself.

This is more than a retreat.
This is a homecoming.

The Journey

We begin as travelers, exploring the soul-stirring beauty of New Zealand’s South Island - majestic mountains, turquoise lakes, and fields of blooming lupins. 

Our days flow with laughter, mindful adventures, and the magic of sisterhood.


Every stop is intentional…

✨ Mindful walks and exploration to soak in the beauty of New Zealand
✨ Nourishing meals shared with beautiful souls
✨ Yoga, meditation, and sound healing to reconnect with your body and spirit
✨ Mindful movement and creative workshops to awaken your inner expression
✨ Dreamwork and reflection to clarify your deepest desires
✨ Stargazing and singing under southern skies
✨ Every evening, tuning back into yourself

Together……

We weave presence and mindfulness into each experience,
learning how to carry these practices into everyday life,
so that each moment becomes a step closer to your most authentic self.

The transformation

When the road brings us into retreat, the journey deepens.
In a safe and sacred container, we explore embodiment practices, breathwork, sound healing, and manifestation.

You will…


🌙 Release what no longer serves you

🌙 Rewire your inner world with empowering beliefs

🌙 Connect deeply with your body, heart, and soul

🌙 Manifest your vision for 2026 and beyond

🌙 Feel the beauty of being seen, held, and celebrated in sisterhood

This is a journey of connection, healing, and remembrance of who you truly are.

The Vibe…

Imagine yourself here…

✨ Waking up to yoga and soft morning light
✨ Laughing with sisters who feel like family, who are on the same path like you.
✨ Sharing nourishing meals made with love (and learning how to cook them for your body’s needs)
✨ Breathing under starlit skies
✨ Journaling by a turquoise lake, heart open to inspiration
✨ Feeling safe, loved, expanded, joyful, supported, inspired


This is the essence of the retreat.

This is how you will feel.

This is what you’ll carry home with you.

Sarah - a Naturopath, Energy Healer, Yin Yoga facilitator and lifelong learner.

Throughout her life, she has tuned into her intuition with, at times, huge trust falls that have aligned her with the greatest vision that she wouldn't have believed possible without her undying trust in the universe.

As a 5/1 Manifester, Sarah is able to see the truth of your power and has made it her life mission to help you see it, too.

Sarah was raised in an environment that praised rigidity, masculinity and suppression and has worked incredibly hard to make her way into a life of flow, femininity and freedom.

This is why she is able to help you make the big life shifts. 

In a world where you're told it's not possible, Sarah knows this for you too.
