Free Time Exploration:
While our program is rich with transformative activities, we recognize the value of solitude and personal exploration. During your free time, we encourage you to wander and explore. Whether it's the scenic trails surrounding our retreat, the calming shores of a nearby lake, or the intricate patterns of nature right on our grounds, there's beauty and peace awaiting your discovery. Perhaps you'll find a quiet spot to meditate, read, or simply soak in the natural beauty.
Beyond exploring the surroundings, use this free time to connect. With yourself, with nature, and with fellow sojourners. Share stories, exchange insights, or simply enjoy the collective energy of like-minded individuals.
Remember, every moment here, whether structured or free, is a step in your journey towards renewal and balance. Whether you're in a guided session or wandering freely, we hope each experience enriches your soul.
If there's anything you'd like to know about the local surroundings or if you need recommendations on places to visit during your free time, our team is here to guide you.
Walking trails:
Sanctuary Hill is surrounded by the lush greenery of the Taranaki region. During this Retreat you can walk around the property to enjoy the views of Mt. Taranaki, listen to the birds of the region, walk through the orchard and visit the different areas around our property. If you are feeling more invited to rest back and enjoy the view, you can relax in our various outdoor areas to bask in nature.

Nourishing Culinary Delights:
Begin each day with a self-serve breakfast, offering a range of nutritious options to kickstart your morning. For lunch, relish a spread of healthy, fresh dishes crafted with locally-sourced ingredients. As the day winds down, gather for a home-cooked dinner, serving comfort on a plate in a communal setting.

What YOGA means to us
Yoga is at the heart of our retreats, and we offer the real deal. From the physical practice, the environment where you move, the food you eat, is all part of the philosophy of an integrative way of living. The goal of the physical practice is to challenge you physically but most importantly to quiet the mind. That’s what yoga is all about – calming the mind. And that’s what we teach on our yoga retreats. You will feel re-energized and restored both physically and mentally.
We are truly looking forward to welcome you to join us on an amazing adventure. Have a question we've not yet answered? Please don't hesitate on contacting us.
