World-class, luxury accommodation in harmony with Mother Nature

Flockhill is one of New Zealand’s most prestigious luxury lodges. Built on a working sheep station of 36,000 acres, hidden in Craigieburn Valley, it is sanctuary of refined elegance set amidst the wild, rugged beauty of New Zealand’s Southern Alps.

For the duration of the Nourish & Bloom experience, we will have exclusive use of the estate - creating stillness, privacy, and a sacred space for something life-changing to unfold.

The luxury villas are meticulously designed to provide ambience, warmth, and a sense of tranquillity that invites you to fully exhale. Every detail has been considered - from pure wool throws and curated natural textures to sweeping alpine views and cosy, glowing fireplaces. The two suites within each villa connect to a sumptuous shared lounge, where you can rest and connect in spaces within the rhythm of the day.

You’ll be nourished by Flockhill’s acclaimed chef, with meals prepared in the award-winning Sugarloaf restaurant - a culinary experience that blends world-class dining with deep seasonal intention.

You’ll also be among the very first to enjoy Flockhill’s new, state-of-the-art spa facilities, including a panoramic 10-person hot spa, cold plunge and alpine sauna. A daily offering to honor integration and renewal - nourishing your mind, body and spirit in a space designed to replenish.

The experience is one of quiet splendour: grounded in nature and deeply attuned to 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.

Sacred land

Flockhill is more than just breathtaking beauty - the land it rests upon is deeply alive. Its energy is potent, and we chose it with intention.

The surrounding limestone rock formations - ancient, sculptural outcrops that rise from the land like sentinels - along with the forested valleys and sweeping alpine plains, create an atmosphere that is deeply transformative and quietly powerful. The energy here doesn’t just hold you - it supports and amplifies everything this retreat is here to awaken and hold.

Just nearby lies Castle Hill (Kura Tāwhiti), known by many as the Stonehenge of the South - a globally recognised energy site the Dalai Lama once named a “spiritual centre of the universe.”

Flockhill sits within that same field - a convergence point where ancient stone, sacred geometry, and untamed wilderness come together. A place of remembering - where something long-held in the body begins to reawaken.

The land is sacred, pristine, and ready.

And so are you.

World-class nourishment

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 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.

You'll also enjoy an exclusive behind-the-scenes kitchen tour, offering a rare glimpse into the artistry, passion, and craftsmanship behind one of New Zealand's most celebrated dining experiences.

RESERVE MY SPACE

What women are saying about Nourish & Bloom

"It was an absolute privilege to attend such a life-changing few days, and one of the best investments of my time I have ever made. I have never been surrounded by such a loving and supportive group of women, and never felt so emotionally safe and held. That safety allowed me to be truly vulnerable, making every session incredibly impactful. The Four Pillars gave me such deep insight and self-awareness which I needed and the sacred fire ceremony led by Heliena were the most transformative parts for me. Both challenged me to be completely honest with myself about what I had been accepting for so long and gave me the courage to finally let it go. I walked away believing in myself, my choices, and my ability to create a different future. I am taking home clarity, self-love, and the confidence to speak my truth. I still carry my reflection journal with me every day and return to my intentions whenever I need a reminder of the woman I am becoming. The greatest gift of all is the lifelong friendships I have found and the unconditional love and support of Chelsea and Heliena." - Tracey
"I gained such deep appreciation for my lineage and breaking through intergenerational family trauma and patterns. I gained so much more openness to love, joy, and authentic self-expression, and experienced significant breakthroughs throughout my time at Nourish & Bloom. I loved all of the offerings and every element of the retreat. I'll be taking so much of the wisdom and the modalities home with me, including dancing, meditation, breathwork, and a deeper commitment to feminine embodiment. I would highly recommend Nourish & Bloom to any woman who feels called to do this work." - Amy
"What impacted me most throughout my time at Nourish & Bloom was experiencing such pure love - from all of the facilitators, the strength and grounding of the mountains and surrounding landscape, and the beautiful connection with the incredible women who attended. What became so clear and I was able to release was just how guarded my heart had become. I also realised how much I truly enjoy the company of other women. I was able to clear stagnant energy, patterns and released things I had been holding onto for many, many years. I am leaving feeling lighter, more open, and deeply grateful for this beautiful experience." - Niki
"I had wonderful experience. I felt completely safe, supported, and held. The communication, support, and guidance leading up to the retreat was 10/10. The facilities and accommodation were incredible, and I could feel how thoughtful and intentional every detail was. I experienced such a deep sense of calm and peace, while gaining a much greater trust in myself and a deeper connection to my intuition. I found the breathwork, meditation, and sound healing beyond incredible, and these are practices I will continue to integrate into my everyday life. I loved all of the facilitators and would highly recommend Nourish & Bloom to any woman who feels called to this experience." - Ali
Everything was so thoughtfully considered from start to finish. It felt like a story unfolding, crafted and held with such care, intention, and devotion. Every layer felt intuitive to exactly where I was in my journey. Throughout the retreat, I was able to reconnect with every version of myself—facing confronting fears, releasing anger I had carried for so long, and creating space for love to fill what remained. Through the music, breathwork, and meditation, I received messages with such clarity and experienced beautiful activations. I walked away feeling stronger, more whole, and deeply connected to myself. The greatest gift I am taking home is the practice of embodied love. I am slowing down, listening to my body, and choosing what feels genuinely aligned rather than automatically saying yes or apologising for my needs. I want to continue nurturing this through time in nature, loving boundaries, and remembering that every version of me is welcome to walk forward together." - Andrea
"If you feel the call, trust it. And if you're interested but have reservations, talk to Heliena or Chelsea. I truly believe there is no woman who would be better off for not doing this experience. From beginning to end, you are held, supported, and deeply cared for. You open your heart and soul to a beautiful sisterhood, to deep nourishment, and to incredible personal growth. It's honestly beyond words. Every single nuance of the retreat has been thoughtfully and intentionally designed to awaken your truth in the most graceful way. The planning was impeccable, and everything flowed in perfect succession. I couldn't recommend Nourish & Bloom more highly." - Anna
If you're considering attending Nourish & Bloom, I would simply say, go for it! You won't regret the decision, but don't overthink it. The love of the sisterhood was amazing. I have never experienced anything like that before. I felt so blessed to be part of the whole experience. Thank you to Chelsea and Heliena for bringing this retreat to life and for giving so much of yourselves personally before, during, and after the retreat. What became really clear for me was that I need to use my voice and listen to my body. I feel like I already know the answers, I just need to tune into my body more for the truth. I also gained the ability to forgive and let go, and I will carry that with me long after the retreat." - Sharlene
"I gained SO much and released years of hurt. I was able to forgive everyone in my life who has ever hurt me, and for me, that is huge. Historically, I've been a grudge holder... well, not anymore! Growth and clearing out is how I would summarise my experience. I also left feeling more in control, lighter, and happier. The feeling that I can truly forgive and let go of the emotional connections to people from my past is something I never imagined possible. I loved every offering and every element of the retreat. The biggest things I'm taking home are self-care, knowing that I matter, self-soothing, self-belief, and creating space to truly nurture myself. And of course... the oils, the Blue Lotus, and yes... the matcha!" - Selina
These beautiful few days will fill your heart and soul with happiness. The retreat was so well paced, beautifully coordinated, and shared with the most incredible group of like-minded women. I learned so much by listening to my own spirit and felt deeply nurtured and supported by the presenters throughout the entire experience. What became really clear for me was a supercharged sense of freedom to explore my emotions in such a safe and supportive environment. I gained a much greater awareness of the inner blocks, limiting beliefs, and unresolved trauma that had been keeping me stuck. Being surrounded by a group of women all learning the art of empowerment was incredibly special. I am taking home a deep sense of harmony, bravery amongst women, and trust. I honestly want to relive every second of our journey and would highly rate every part of this phenomenal retreat." - Lizzie
"The most impactful and nourishing parts of the retreat for me were connecting with the other women, my one-on-one session with Heliena, and the beautiful connection I shared with my room companion. I also loved the talking circles, the sacred fire ceremony, journaling, and the meditation and breathwork. The three guest facilitators were incredible, and I really enjoyed the variety each of them brought to the retreat. What became really clear for me was an increased awareness of the inner blocks, limiting beliefs, and unresolved trauma that had been keeping me stuck. I loved how deeply connected everyone was. There were so many synchronicities woven throughout the retreat, and I found it fascinating how everything tied together so beautifully. The venue itself was incredible—so nourishing, beautifully organised, and spiritually aligned. It created the perfect environment to connect more deeply with my higher self. I am continuing to reflect on the things I need to shed and the things I want to integrate into my life. I feel like the answers I need, and the changes I am making, are slowly revealing themselves, and I continue to make subtle shifts every day. It was an amazing experience, and I would highly recommend it to others." - Jenna
I recommend Nourish & Bloom wholeheartedly. From the incredible food, surroundings, nature, the sessions, the music—everything felt so nourishing for me. What became really clear was a much deeper connection to myself and a more settled nervous system. I left with tools to cultivate self-sourced safety, peace, love, and emotional regulation in my everyday life. I especially loved the sound healings with Taylor Sol. I am continuing to integrate sound healing, meditation, breathwork, being gentle with myself, and allowing myself to rest more as I continue to honour everything that was uncovered during the retreat." - Jessica

A world of natural opulence

The extraordinary Nourish & Bloom experience…

Daily ceremonies

Woven throughout the retreat are beautiful cacao ceremonies, where we work intentionally with this revered master plant teacher to cultivate deeper states of presence, self-connection, and inner awareness.
Our cacao ceremonies are a very sacred offering throughout the retreat, gently supporting the deeper work of each day.
Immersive sound healings

Weaving together multi-instrumental, deeply immersive sound healing journeys, Taylor creates a space where sound becomes a bridge between worlds. These powerful immersions support the release of stored emotions, awaken, and gently re-attune the body's natural frequency to greater harmony and vitality. Often deeply activating, they bring to the surface what the body is ready to acknowledge, process, and release, all within a very safe, grounded, and supportive space.
Luxury at Flockhill

Nestled in the heart of New Zealand's South Island, Flockhill spans 36,000 acres of breathtaking alpine wilderness, where towering mountains and expansive landscape exist in perfect harmony.

Feminine wisdom teachings

Through immersive teachings with Sarsha and Heliena, you'll reconnect with the wisdom that has guided women for millennia - honouring your cyclical body, intuition, innate power, and the profound intelligence that exists within.
Together, we'll explore the patriarchal narratives and protective adaptations that continue to shape the lives of many women today.
Heliena will guide you through our signature Four Pillars Workshop - the foundation of Nourish & Bloom. Together, these four pillars shape how we relate to ourselves and others, direct our energy, influence our choices, and ultimately create our lives. Through guided reflection and self-inquiry, you'll begin to recognise patterns such as people-pleasing, self-abandonment, difficulty setting and honouring boundaries, over-responsibility, codependency, and seeking external validation .
Potent healing sessions

Immersive sound healings, somatic breathwork, EFT, guided meditation, transformational energy healing and a powerful fire ceremony support the release of stored tension, unprocessed emotions, old stories, weight of the past, limiting beliefs, and stagnant energy held within the body and subconscious. Women feel significantly lighter, more grounded, and connected to themselves, cultivating greater safety within their body and nervous system, deeper self-trust, and a profound sense of peace, clarity, and inner freedom.
