Our venue is a very important part of our Retreat space. It needs to be warm, cosy, welcoming and as chemical free as we possible. 🌞

We love how our Napier venue Kiwiesque Luxury Vineyard Accommodation, Hawkes Bay support a local company PURE BLEND LTD who have been making natural & organic body & home care products for over 20yrs. All made with love, not chemicals, in mostly glass bottles. 🌿

🧡 Our Personal favourites that all smelt divine from our last retreat were -
*shampoos
*hand wash
*dishwashing liquid (of which we used a lot!!)
Purchase from their Hastings store, online or from a stockist in your area.

Thanks to everyone who came to our offices to share with us the amazing work they do in our community within the cancer care space. We are so fortunate to have these services nearby. 🧡

What a special morning it was connecting with our Rotorua cancer support community 💜

The timing worked beautifully for so many of us, creating a genuine opportunity to come together, share resources, and strengthen the way we support people impacted by cancer across our community.

It was enlightening, collaborative, and deeply connecting. A reminder of the power of working alongside one another.

We’re incredibly grateful to the organisations who joined us, and we also acknowledge those who continue to do such important mahi in the community but weren’t able to be there on the day.

A big shout out as well to those working quietly behind the scenes. Your care and commitment does not go unnoticed.

Together, we are stronger.
Together, we are connecting care.
