Join us at Cape South which is a stunning luxurious private escape and country-style homestead near Waimarama beach in Hawkes Bay. Even if you live in Hawkes Bay you'll feel you have stepped well away from the pressures of home & work. We have the entire homestead to ourselves to create a container for deep restoration and transformation through the practice of rounding. On site facilities include a purpose-built yoga studio, hot spa, outdoor magnesium mineral pool, infra-red sauna, 16 acres of expansive lawns, stunning decorative gardens, organic herb & vege gardens, underfloor heating throughout the house, log fires, generous verandahs, formal dining area, lounge & sitting room. Each room has it’s own private bathroom.Daily wisdom sessions reset the mind, shifting the way you view life and your role in it. Join like-minded meditators - often people form lasting friendships on retreat and we have had an age range of 21-69 on previous retreats. Nourish, reset and expand the mind, body and consciousness.

Gain prolonged exposure to the underlying state of Being, and inner fulfilment and carry this expansion with you beyond retreat
Gain increased clarity around your purpose and next steps in life
Deeply restore the nervous system, releasing deeply held stresses & accumulated fatigue through industrial strength, immersive meditation

The last few days have been truly potent for me, I feel utterly transformed. Huge stress release and shifts happening. You are a true light-worker Georgia, inspirational, and the most incredible facilitator. It’s like watching the laws of nature in action. I cannot thank you enough.”

Who is the retreat for?
Anyone wishing to deepen their practice, gain a significant reset and rest in a few short days, looking to take some time out from daily routine, be uplifted with knowledge or who would like to connect with other meditators in a blissful setting.
I’ve just learned to meditate, is it too soon to round?
No you can begin rounding/attend a retreat as soon as you’ve learned.
I have dietary requirements, can you cater to those?
We will endeavour to meet most requirements. We cannot cater for vegans as Ayurvedic principles include the use of ghee (most people who can’t eat dairy can tolerate ghee quite well). Meals are all vegetarian (no fish). Email us to enquire.
I have no yoga experience or have an injury, can I participate?
No yoga experience is required. We have modifications for those who have injuries.
If I book twin share, who will I share with?
If you come with a friend you can choose to share a room with them, otherwise Georgia will pair you with someone you’ll get on with. The property is very spacious so you’ll have plenty of time & space to yourself.
What will I be doing in between rounds/program?
The Homestead has plenty of space for time alone - including a lovely pool area, spa, sauna, lounge, snug & gardens. There will be plenty of time outside of rounds for gentle walks, pooltime, spa & sauna sessions, reading, chatting with other medi-mates and delicious meals. The focus of this retreat is deep restoration, and relaxing in whatever way you choose between rounds.
Where is the retreat located?
The Homestead is located 40 minutes drive from Napier airport, 20 minutes from Havelock North and 8 minutes from Waimarama Beach. You can hire a car from the airport - we may be able to coordinate groups to travel together/hire together closer to the time once attendees are confirmed. You can also arrange an airport transfer through Jem at Village Shuttle for $115 each way or self drive.
All participants must have learned Vedic Meditation or TM and the practice of rounding prior to attending the retreat, contact us to arrange to learn prior to attending the retreat. Places are strictly limited, enquire to find out more or to reserve your space. I look forward to facilitating this profound transformation for those who choose to join me.
