Stillness, Together

STILLNESS, TOGETHER Saturday 12 December 2026 | Mangaroa Farms When was the last time you set aside a whole day to simply be together? To slow down, step away from the everyday and share an experience centred around rest, connection and care. Stillness, Together is a one-day retreat created for mothers and daughters, caregivers and daughters, or women who share a special connection. Born from a personal desire to make more intentional time for the people we love, we're creating a space to pause, reconnect and enjoy the experience of being cared for - together. Held within the natural surrounds of Mangaroa Farms, the day brings together restorative guided experiences alongside opportunities to rest and reconnect with nature alongside your loved one. Bring your mum, daughter or someone who has played a meaningful role in your life. THE EXPERIENCE Throughout the day, you'll be invited to move between guided practices, moments of rest and opportunities to connect. Meditation Begin by settling into the space with a grounding meditation and a chance to set your intention for the day. Guided breathwork Explore conscious breathing and gentle somatic practices to reconnect with your body and create space to slow down. Journalling and Reflection Enjoy a guided journalling session with Charmaine, with further time in the day to wander the gardens and continue your journalling reflections. Nourishment & connection Enjoy a thoughtfully prepared morning tea and lunch with Cacao and refreshments. Sauna and River Plunge Make space for warmth, restoration and relaxation, with the opportunity to enjoy the natural surroundings and an optional river plunge. Soundbath Journey & Integration Close the day with a restorative sound experience and time to reflect on what you'd like to carry with you.
