🌕 'It Is Only a Phase' Yoga Retreat
🌙 Full Moon - May 1st – 3rd, 2026
Emotions are like the moon phases of our inner world. The moon teaches us that nothing in us is static — we wax and wane, flourish and retreat, reveal and renew. Each phase of your journey is sacred.
This Full Moon Retreat is an invitation to embrace every part of yourself, to honor the wholeness that exists within you.
In your moments of stillness, feel the magic within you rise gently as the moonlight spills over Lake Taupo, illuminating the shadowed places within and around you. Let yourself surrender to the rhythm of your own becoming, trusting that every phase — even the quiet, unseen ones — carries meaning, power, and sacred purpose. Honor the cycles that shape your heart and soul, allowing the wisdom you have gathered to flow outward.
🏞️ The Setting
Welcome to a retreat where the noise softens, the breath deepens, and the body remembers its own wisdom.
The natural stillness of Tuahara Retreat Centre—its silent temple perched high on the hill, capturing breathtaking views of Lake Taupo—wraps you in tranquility. Generous rooms and open spaces, balanced perfectly with cozy reading nooks and fireplaces, create a sanctuary of safety and comfort.
🌀 Your Journey
Over three transformative days, you will move and rest, surrendering to the gentle rhythm of your own breath. Here, time slows, and the weight of the world drifts quietly away.
Soft music caresses the air, mingling with the warm, nourishing aromas of meals crafted with love. Every corner of this serene haven invites you to sink deeper into comfort and ease.
Settle in, breathe deeply, and allow this space to hold you. Your journey inward begins here...
