It’s amazing what a difference just one night away can make.
The right kind of reset can feel more like a week and be just the break you need without breaking the bank or if you can’t get away for longer.
A one-day retreat on Waikeke Island with Terra & Tide recently provided me some much-needed mind and body nourishment.
The short distance that separates Auckland city from the island creates the perfect disconnect physically as well as mentally, and feelings of stress began to ebb the moment the ferry pulled away from the wharf.
It’s here on the island that Gabrielle Young of Terra & Tide runs retreats in various forms depending on demand – from one-on-ones and groups to forest bathing experiences.
With a background working in the corporate sector to improve workplace wellbeing, she has the toolkit to help people explore ‘where they are now, how we are wired, and the power of positive emotions and wellbeing practices we can use in our daily lives’.
Young also explores the power of self-compassion and self-connection through her retreats.
For me, I needed some time out to just focus on me away from the everyday busyness, as well as to help with prioritising some health goals to take better care of myself.
Time to hold your own hand
I came away
