Monday 29 June - Thursday 2nd July 2026
Flockhill Lodge, Southern Alps - New Zealand
A sacred invitation
Throughout Nourish & Bloom, you will be deeply nourished, divinely held, and gently reawakened. More anchored in your body, clearer in your truth, and reconnected to your feminine essence.
This is the start of sacred passage back to who you are - not the version shaped by survival, but the self you were always meant to bloom into.
Held within the wild, crystalline expanse of Flockhill, nestled in the majestic Southern Alps of New Zealand, this retreat unfolds on land that is both sanctuary and portal. Every moment has been intentionally woven as a loving passage; one that honours your pace, your process, and your unique unfolding. From the moment you arrive, you are held.
Throughout the retreat journey, you’ll begin to acknowledge and release what no longer serves - old programming, inherited stories, and unprocessed emotions and trauma.
Over time, from the clarity of this new space, you can begin to express from a place of sovereignty, truth, and authenticity. As life continues to unfold, you’ll experience what it feels like to make choices from - and live through - embodied alignment.
You will be met by women who have walked this path before - who understand the sacred tenderness of transformation, and who hold the wisdom to illuminate your way. The space is created with reverence, compassion, and presence - so you can feel safe to unravel, remember, and rise.
Every layer - from the practices, to the wisdom shared, to the nourishment, connection through sisterhood, and the moments of stillness - has been crafted to support your journey of healing, awakening, reclamation, and empowerment.
The benefits of this experience will feel tangible, lasting, and real.
We are excited to walk this path with you, hand in hand.

The Nourish & Bloom experience
When these modalities are woven together inside one immersive experience, the benefits become more amplified and enhanced.
The depth, release and transformation available within this intentionally-curated retreat is far greater than what you’d experience doing each practice on its own, because the body, mind and energetic field stay receptive, supported and continually held through a complete arc of healing and awakening. This is part of what makes Nourish & Bloom retreats so extraordinary.
Food as ceremony
Every meal served at Nourish & Bloom is prepared with reverence by Flockhill’s award-winning head chef, Taylor Cullen of the acclaimed Sugarloaf restaurant. 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.
Think slow-cooked meats, foods cooked over fire, healing broths, seasonal vegetables, warming spices, luscious preserved fruits, and rich seasonal flavours designed to replenish you from within. (And plenty of dessert, naturally). The food served carries sacred intention, masterfully elevated by refined culinary artistry.
You’ll also be enchanted by ceremonial cacao, restorative herbal teas, matcha rituals, elixirs, and other indulgent offerings designed to awaken, delight and surprise.
This is ancestral nourishment. Each meal reconnects you to your body’s ancient intelligence - food not just as sustenance, but as medicine for vitality, clarity, and soul restoration.
This level of devotion and care is part of what allows you to soften. You deserve to be deeply nourished in every sense; and this extraordinary venue is a celebration of that receiving.

Chelsea Winter
Nourish & Bloom Co-Creator | Sacred Space Holder + Guide
Chelsea is one of New Zealand’s most loved and trusted public figures – her connection with people built through food, but rooted in something far deeper.
For over a decade, she has built a bond of loyalty and authenticity through her recipes, her honesty, and her grounded, down-to-earth way of being. Many have grown alongside her and walked their own personal evolutions in parallel.
While much of her journey has unfolded in public, her most profound transformations have been deeply personal. She has moved through seasons of deep loss – of self, of meaning, of inner light. Through it all, she has rebuilt herself time and again, integrating every fall, every rise and every lesson. In that process, something was awakened – a spark of feminine remembrance that now calls her to help other women rise. Her wisdom is lived, not learned, and what she offers now flows from embodiment.
With humour as medicine, an easeful, welcoming presence, and a gift for truly seeing others (with compassion, beyond the surface) Chelsea creates spaces where women feel safe to soften, unravel, and return to themselves.
After 13 years of nourishing others through food, this retreat marks a new kind of nourishment – one that feeds the soul.
