The Self Love Retreat is a wonderful way to get away for a few days and also use the time meaningfully, in a way that nurtures, and offers healing for mind and spirit and body.
Held in a stunning and peaceful location at Lake Okareka in the Bay of Plenty, it combines the best of personal development, mindfulness meditation and relaxation over a Friday, Saturday and Sunday (home on Monday). Each day includes a mix of workshop sessions, mindfulness meditation and free time to walk beside the lake or in the bush, to soak in the spa, to read a book or to just sleep (when did you last do THAT?!) Just lots of de-stressing, nurturing and exquisite workshop sessions carefully designed to gently move you past your inner barriers towards loving and accepting yourself. |

At the retreat you will become one of those who have personally experienced the timeless wisdom of Louise Hay, internationally – renowned creator of “You Can Heal Your Life” under the guidance of a skilled teacher. The intention for you is that you have a proper break from everyday life and go home knowing that it was time really well spent… feeling nurtured, having become better friends with yourself, and without some of the unconscious patterns that were making you stressed out, sick, sad or stuck.
The Retreat sessions include:
If you’ve never been part of a small group retreat before, you are in for a treat! Personal development in the energy of a group is easier, more fun and gives you loads more insight into yourself and your life – and often friends for life. If you are already familiar with Louise Hay and self – awareness, you’ll get just the boost that you’ve been looking for and go even deeper with loving yourself!
We don’t want you to have to rush to get to or from the retreat, which is why it begins in the late afternoon (and ends in the morning). We want your journey to and from the venue to be as much a part of your time out, as the retreat itself and we want you to have energy to enjoy yourself and get the most out of every session!
What's included: All accommodation (3 nights, shared rooms) retreat sessions, meditations, a light dinner on Friday; breakfast, lunch, morning and afternoon tea on Saturday and Sunday, Monday breakfast, a handbook and lots of TLC!
What's not included: Saturday and Sunday dinner. However, there is a vast array of wonderful eating options to suit all budgets in Rotorua, just a ten minute drive away (or you can bring your own food for dinner and use the onsite gourmet kitchen to store and prepare it!)
Travel to and from the venue isn't included, however we may be able to assist with airport pickups, or shuttle from Rotorua to Lake Okareka.
The Retreat sessions include:
- Learning about the silent saboteurs - our subtle barriers to self-love
- Exploring what’s standing between us and our happiness?
- Reflecting on the love that is already there
- How to implement and integrate self-love into our daily life
- Meeting our feelings - the true path to awareness
- identifying a vision for our self

What participants have had to say:
"The weekend seemed to answer questions I've been trying to put together for such a long, long time. I've tried counselling and art therapy and I think they were the wrong process for me. I'm just trusting the change in me now" JM Wanganui
"Liz helped me to identify my blocks. She gave me alternative ways to think and behave and this has certainly helped me heal old hurts. She has such a loving and trusting manner that I felt completely at ease. I give thanks that I had the privilege to meet Liz and work with her." DB Wellington
"I felt so welcome and safe and able to be myself. The exercises were very powerful... I learnt a lot and they help me to be the best version of myself. Thank you, Liz for your wonderful teaching." CD Hamilton
"Liz is extremely patient and supportive, kind and at times really funny. As simple as this may sound, this has been life changing for me. Being a rather private person, the weekend was an immense challenge for me, but the supportive way it was run meant I was able to relax and get the full benefits from it." CA Waikato
"I am changed- more positive and freer, more forgiving of myself and of others. It was a weekend I will always remember" JM Auckland

“The weekend was practical yet raw. I feel more confident, accepting and empowered." DZ Auckland

"Liz is such an incredible woman with so much life experience, so many skills and so much knowledge and a holistic practitioner who is down to earth, easy to talk to, non-judgmental and is really interested in you. The tools and strategies I learned has greatly reduced my anxiety and helped to bring so much peace. s taught me so much about all. Mostly she enabled me to let a lot go of what was never mine to carry and to focus on what is truly important to my true authentic self. EB Auckland
"Thank you Liz for this opportunity for me to open the doors to my life that seemed so firmly shut! You held a loving and supremely safe and supportive space for all of us in the group to explore our inner and outer selves. My 'little girl' had been hoping for a long time that she and I would find the key to integrate our life experiences and continue on our journey walking side by side in confidence. The group was wonderful... and contributed to a wonderful healing weekend filled with loving affirmations." DL Auckland
"After the workshop I feel free and light, ready for my journey, ready to dance with life. It was reflective, dynamic and fun. You are sweet and caring and always made me feel safe. You grounded me to take another perspective of life and people. Thank you!" NA Adelaide

"I feel I have acknowledged aspects of myself and my past I was not aware of and I have moved important blocks, hurts and emotions from the past. I have new ideas for approaching daily life.
