05. December 2025, Full moon in Gemini - cleansing and clarity - being clear on what you want to leave behind and call in for yourself

Happy Full moon my lovely community,

I don’t often give “behind the scenes” glimpses, but the retreat was so powerful that I feel called to share this one.
But this blog isn’t just a story about a retreat, it’s a glimpse into what can happen when we truly prioritize ourselves. My hope is that by sharing these moments, you can feel what’s possible for yourself and your own journey.

Last Saturday, a group of women and I gathered at the most beautiful location in Upper Moutere to give themselves a true day just for them (“A Day for YOU”).
The pool glistened in the sun, the lavender was flowering all around us and the views over the Moutere down to the blue ocean were something out of a travel magazine - I am not kidding you - here are some images from Saturday:

The theme of this retreat was in line with Spring and the New Year: becoming clear on your dreams, visions and the practices that help you bring them to life.
Sometimes the hardest part is giving ourselves permission to pause and tune in. Other times, we need to “clear the clutter” first emotionally, mentally, energetically. On Saturday, we did both.
The emotional intention was to rest, to return to self and to reconnect with the integral parts of our individual lives.
We came together as mostly strangers and left feeling connected and uplifted by the community.
We shared beautiful moments, meals, tears and laughter and most of all space to just be.

The day flowed between movement, guided meditation, sharing rounds, intention setting practices, visualisation, creativity, and deep personal reflections, and nourishing wellness experiences (Sauna with aromatherapy - oh so lush!, cold pool plunge, and Spa dips).

The general sense was “ I am leaving feeling inspired, uplifted and reconnected with myself.”

And there was a moment after lunch when I could feel the entire room soften, everyone had finally really arrived in the space and within themselves and that’s when I knew things had started to shift for each woman there.
This retreat was hard evidence for me that pausing, connecting, and giving yourself permission to rest is not a luxury; it’s a profound act of self-care that opens space for insight and growth. And ultimately allows you to shape the life that you desire because you can become clear on what it is that you want for yourself.
We also remembered as a group that healing is not always loud, painful and wild, sometimes healing can be joy, stillness, shared laughter and rest.

While this was my last retreat of that kind for now - I’m already toying with the idea of a different version of this amazing experience.
