We offer two types of Retreat Experiences - one residential and the other a non-residentialweekend retreat
Residential
The 5-day semi-silent residential retreat at a retreat center (Te Moata Retreat Center), thereby allowing you to let go of daily concerns; allowing yourself to be nurtured, and supported as you learn to be your best friend.
Attending the retreat allows you to rejuvenate in a supportive environment and leave behind the stress and cares of day-to-day life while taking the time required to reflect, rest, and recuperate. You get the space and time to think about yourself, who you are to other people, and what makes you happy. The retreat focuses on letting go of our negative thinking, critical mind and embrace our wholeness.
By incorporating proven psychological, embodiment and mindfulness strategies, you will feel a deeper connection to your body heart and being. While still working on deeply held negative beliefs and trauma, there is a feeling of lightness and ease in this retreat.

In the first weekend, we will explore mindfulness of the mind (how does our thinking keep us feeling distressed, in fight/flight survival mode). And how to change these.

Testimonial
I attended the EIT ACE Mindfulness and Self-Love Retreat recently and it was absolutely life changing for me. Bhavna Nagar helped me to finally start my journey to letting go, finding inner peace and most importantly, to forgive myself, love myself and believe in my own self-worth.If you are feeling stuck and feeling like things are never going to get better, and you're struggling with a broken nervous system, I recommend you have a go at attending this course because everyone needs to learn these practices to get them on their journey to Mindfulness and Self-Love - Charlotte
Attending Bhavna’s EIT ACE mindfulness retreat has truly been life changing for me. I never fully understood what it meant to “welcome home to yourself” or your a masterpiece and a work in progress. These lessons have stayed with me and helped me feel more self-love, peace and confidence in who I am.Bhavna has a gentle, wise and caring spirit. She explains everything clearly, in a way that is easy to follow, even for someone like me who sometimes struggles with English. Her teaching is calm, practical and full of heart. - Hinemoa
