Spring Day Retreat

20th September | 10.30am-4.30pm

Investment: $150pp ($130 early bird until 6th Sept)

Spring is a transition between the darker and lighter seasons, and this day retreat helps us honour that. The day blends ceremony, yoga, breathwork, seasonal, Ayurvedic and energy alignment practices and tools to help us integrate and transition smoothly.

As we come out of hibernation and reconnect with community, this day acts as a space of shared wisdom, to hear the way the earth and elements flow, and to gain insight into the seeds planted for the next season.

Kate is here to guide, share and support you as an experienced retreat holder and yoga teacher. Allow Greenstone Retreat to be the space to celebrate the passing of seasons and the new increased light.

10.30am to 4.30pm. Please arrive 10 mins early to settle in.

Early bird rate is $130 if booked and paid before 6th September. Full rate from 7th September until the event will be $150. Cancellation within 24 hours of the event incurs the full fee.

Why not make a weekend of it? Stay over and join us for a Saturday yin yoga class before settling into your spring day retreat on Sunday.

Included: a nutritious, fresh and seasonal vegetarian lunch, along with all materials and props. Please notify Kate in advance of any food allergies.

Please bring something sacred and natural for the altar that reminds you of spring, which you are welcome to leave or take home at the end, along with a journal and pen, a water bottle, and comfortable clothing.

All welcome, all practices are fully adaptable.

SHAMANIC BREATHWORK

3rd October 2-5pm

Investment: $45pp

A time for ceremony, conscious connected breathing, music & healing, for a small intimate group with limited spaces.

Breathwork is one of the most powerful and accessible tools for healing available to us. Using a conscious connected breathing technique combined with ceremony for protection, evocative, chakra-attuned music and gentle bodywork, you are guided on a journey inward to the unconscious. Bypassing the thinking mind and tapping into the body’s own innate wisdom and capacity to heal.
No experience is necessary. You are your own healer. This process simply creates the conditions for that healing to unfold.

What you might experience:
Regulation of your nervous system,
Release of stored stress, tension, and emotion
Increased energy and a boost to your immune system
Reduced anxiety and a deeper sense of calm
Improved sleep and mental clarity
A somatic release of held trauma and fear
Greater self-awareness, presence, and joy
A felt sense of connection — to yourself, to others, to something greater

What to expect on the day:
We’ll open with a welcome circle and a gentle introduction to the breathwork process. You’ll then be guided through a one-hour+ breathing journey to specially selected music, with hands-on support available throughout. We close with an art process, sharing circle and quiet integration time.

What to bring: eye mask, water bottle, journal and pen. Wear comfortable clothing with layers as your temperature can change during the process.

Chakra Tune up, Breathwork and Meditation

11th & 25th Sept 6-7.15pm

$15pp – Cash preferred. NZ bank transfer available. Cards can be charged for an additional $5 fee.

Join Steve for a rejuvenating breathwork and meditation class that blends the energizing principles of the Wim Hof Method with the vibrational power of chakra-focused vowel sounds. You’ll be guided through rhythmic breathing cycles designed to activate the nervous system, deepen oxygenation, and create a sense of clarity and vitality. These techniques are accessible to all levels and help reduce stress, enhance focus, and support emotional balance.

You’ll then move into a meditative journey using specific vowel tones associated with each of the seven chakras. These resonant sounds help open and harmonize the body’s energy centres, allowing for deeper relaxation and inner alignment. Whether you’re seeking improved well-being, energetic grounding, or simply a peaceful reset, this class offers a powerful combination of breath, sound, and mindfulness to leave you refreshed and cantered.

Please avoid eating for at least 2 hours before this session.

The session will end with a deep and peaceful meditation to help you drop into your inner stillness. Message/call to book. Bulk yoga class passes are not available to be used for these sessions.

Steve has been using these tools with many in his capacity as a mental health nurse and daily personal practice for over 7 years.

Text 0221522559 or let the retreat team know if you would like to attend.
