Nourish & Bloom will be held 29 June – 2 July 2026 at Flockhill Lodge in New Zealand’s Southern Alps - just over an hour from Christchurch International Airport. For three and a half days, we will have exclusive use of this world-renowned estate, creating privacy, stillness, and a sacred container for something truly life-changing to unfold.
-
We are curating an intimate group of 19 women, plus the guides. This smaller circle allows for deeper connection, individual support, and a true sisterhood to form.
-
Your investment includes luxurious accommodation, transfers to and from Christchurch airport (if required) all meals prepared by an award-winning chef, guided healing sessions and ceremonies, spa access, nature immersions, and a bespoke luxury gift bag to support your integration after the retreat. Flights are not included.
-
Not at all. Everything is guided and supported by our facilitators. Whether you are brand-new or deeply experienced, the retreat will meet you exactly where you are.
-
Every meal is prepared with reverence by Flockhill’s award-winning head chef, Taylor Cullen. Each dish has been carefully curated in collaboration between the chef and Chelsea Winter, and selected with purpose - not only for its flavour, but for how it will support your body, your energy, and your unfolding throughout the retreat. Every meal is designed as a form of ancestral nourishment - whole, seasonal, and deeply restorative. Meat, eggs, and dairy will feature. Our chef prepares dishes that are both exquisite and grounding, created to support your body, mind, and spirit.
Dietary needs can be catered for - please just let us know in advance. -
To support the depth and sensitivity of the journey, we gently remove stimulants and substances that can cloud the body’s signals or numb emotional release. That means no coffee or alcohol is served during the retreat.
This creates a clearer energetic field - allowing your nervous system to recalibrate, your intuition to strengthen, and your body to receive the full nourishment of the experience.
You’ll be supported with beautiful alternatives — grounding herbal teas, ceremonial cacao, warm tonics, and deeply nourishing food — all designed to leave you feeling clear, calm, and replenished on every level.
-
Many women arrive not knowing anyone else — and leave with friendships that last a lifetime. You will be warmly welcomed and fully held in the sisterhood that forms.
-
The twin share suites are very much part of the design of Nourish & Bloom. Sharing a room creates a sense of companionship that deepens the retreat experience - many women find their roommate becomes a key part of their journey. It also allows us to keep the group intimate while opening the space for the right number of women to be held in circle together.
-
If you are attending with a friend, we will of course place you together if possible. If you are coming on your own, we will carefully and intuitively pair you with another woman we feel is aligned.
-
We’ll send you a detailed packing list closer to the date, but essentials include comfortable clothing for movement and nature time, swimwear for the spa, and a few pieces you feel beautiful in for ceremonial moments.
-
The sessions are designed to guide you into deeper connection with yourself. Some practices are gentle and nourishing, while others may stir energy that brings emotional or physical release. This is a natural part of clearing what no longer serves you. At every step, you will be safely held by experienced facilitators who know how to create and support this process. What matters most is that you move at your own pace, and trust your body’s wisdom.
-
All that’s really asked of you is to arrive exactly as you are, with an open heart and a willingness to receive. There is no pressure to perform, impress, or be anyone other than yourself.
In terms of how you contribute to the group, you are free to share as much or as little as feels comfortable. Some women feel called to speak openly, while others prefer to listen quietly and let the experience move through them. Both are equally powerful, and both are welcomed. Nothing will ever be forced — you are always in choice, and your presence alone enriches the circle.
-
Because this retreat includes deep energetic and somatic practices — including guided breathwork and emotional release work — it may not be suitable for everyone.
If you have a pre-existing physical or mental health condition (such as severe anxiety, psychosis, epilepsy, or other conditions where intense breathwork or altered states are not advised), we ask that you reach out to us before booking. We want to make sure you will be safely and fully supported.
-
The nearest airport is Christchurch. From there, it is approximately a one hour drive to Flockhill Lodge. We’ll provide a transfer option if required.
If you would prefer to make your own way there, this is welcomed. -
There are two booking options:
Twin share suite
Private suite – (only 2 available)
To make things easeful, the investment is divided into three payments:
A deposit to secure your place
A second instalment in December 2025
A final instalment in March 2026
This way, your place is secured now, and the rest is taken care of in a simple, spacious flow.
-
This retreat has been designed to give you the very best of everything. For the duration of Nourish & Bloom, we will have exclusive use of Flockhill Lodge — one of New Zealand’s most prestigious luxury estates. This level of access is a rare experience very few people will ever have.
Every meal is crafted by an award-winning chef and team, with exclusive access to their acclaimed restaurant. You’ll also enjoy the brand-new spa facilities, architecturally designed villas, and the extraordinary alpine landscape that holds it all.
Alongside this luxury, the retreat is guided by a team of highly skilled facilitators who bring mastery, presence, and care to every session.
And yet, Nourish & Bloom is not just about luxury or rest. It is a passage of real transformation. You will leave differently than when you arrived — with inner shifts that are lasting, embodied, and deeply life-affirming.
-
You don’t need any prior experience. Every practice will be guided with care and clarity. All you need to bring is an open heart and willingness to receive.
-
Once you’ve secured your place by paying your deposit, you’ll receive a confirmation/welcome email and a receipt. Later, you will receive another email with all the information you need — including what to bring, transfer/travel details, and a gentle preparation guide so you arrive feeling grounded and ready.
If you have any questions at any time, we are here to help.
