Swap the usual office party for something fresh and festive!

Join us at Āio Wīra for a Plant-Based Christmas Lunch that’s part cooking show, part team experience, and all delicious fun.

Led by Maja Moors — an intentional chef and MSc of Molecular Gastronomy with over 100 masterclasses and cooking workshops to her name — this is more than just lunch; it’s a creative, hands-on culinary adventure.

Get involved (or simply sit back and taste!) as we create a vibrant, locally inspired menu featuring Hibiscus, Kawakawa & Mint Spritzer, Smoky Jackfruit Wellington with Kūmara Mash, and Strawberry & Coconut Panna Cotta.
A vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free option is also available on request.

Afterwards, relax and rejuvenate — the spa and sauna experience are included, so your team can unwind in nature and celebrate the end of the year in style.

Suitable for up to 15 people.
Limited spaces available — contact mail@aiowira.org.nz

Priestess Retreat is a 6-day journey into the Feminine Mysteries of the Priestess Archetype.

Sia´s body of work is deeply rooted in the path of Love,
cultivating wholeness as a way to heal, transform and awaken the deepest essence of who we are.

This retreat focuses on the Priestess archetype, which embodies the ability to alchemize polarities within herself, integrating the feminine and masculine, the dark and light, the upper and lower, and the spirit and body.
This archetype fosters a state of wholeness and balance that emerges from the union of opposites.
