A Restorative Day Retreat
Sunday 31st August 2025 | 10am to 5pm
Held at the beautiful nature sanctuary of Woodcote, Mangaroa Farms in Whitemans Valley (just 40 minutes from Wellington CBD)
Join Melanie from Poet Botanicals and Rosenda of Cultivate You for a deeply nurturing and restorative day, with the intention to connect with nature and community, while experiencing some beautiful self-care practices.
What to expect...
The day will begin in the cosy lounge of Woodcote at Mangaroa Farms, where we’ll come together as a group to settle in, and set our intentions for the day.
You’ll then take a sensory journey into the world of natural scent, discovering the beauty of essential oils and their therapeutic qualities. You’ll be guided by Melanie of Poet Botanicals to design your own signature scent, serving as a keepsake of what resonates with you on the day as we reflect on the theme of nurture, rest and restore. You’ll make a beautiful aromatherapy candle scented with your blend to take home.
We’ll then pause to enjoy a nourishing home-made lunch made from Mangaroa Farms produce and other local producers.
After lunch you have the option of going on a nature walk around the beautiful surrounds of Mangaroa Farms, guided by your hosts Rosenda and Melanie - or you can remain at Woodcote and take advantage of the sauna, rest or read - whatever you feel like at the time.
To close our day, we gather in ceremony, a sacred space to come home to self. Guided by Rosenda, you’ll be invited into a heart-opening cacao ritual. This time of year calls us inward to pause, reflect and gently shed what no longer serves us.
Then, surrounded by candlelight and the warmth of community, we’ll sit in circle, allowing cacao’s nourishing qualities to ground us in our bodies and awaken our hearts.
Together we co-create a moment of stillness and soul, a ritual of reconnection that invites you to leave feeling restored, nurtured and deeply nourished.
