Our Aotearoa – New Zealand Retreats
Sacred Intensives for Soul Liberation
Our gatherings are not typical retreats. They are guided transformational intensives—sacred containers held at powerful sites around New Zealand, where Mother Nature herself becomes our co-facilitator and healer.
You are invited into something profound: a journey of deep realisation, inner freedom, and the release of long-held suffering. This is for those who feel called to go beneath the surface.
We are guided by beloved masters—Aaman and Almora—and a collective soul council from the light, who work through us and with us. Between us, we carry over 60 years of experience across shamanic traditions, Buddhism, Indian lineages, and the living wisdom of enlightened transmission.
What we will do together:
We weave together teachings, healing sessions, meditation, and silent integration periods. We work with both hemispheres of the brain—intuition and logic, passive and active—to restore balance. We include creative expression, sacred stones, music, colour, and always, time outdoors in nature's cathedral.
There will be moments of profound peace. And there may also be moments where old wounds, past-life imprints, or deep-held patterns rise to the surface. This is not a sign that anything is wrong—it is a sign that the healing is working. We hold a safe, compassionate container for whatever emerges.
What we offer you:
What we ask of you:
Is this for you?
If you feel the call to liberation—to freedom from inner suffering, to deeper realisation, to connection with your soul's purpose—you may be ready. This is not always an easy path, but it is a true one.
Take time out of your busy life. Gather with us in sacred places. Give yourself an experience that will not just refresh you—but transform you.
How do I know if I'm ready?
If you feel drawn to deeper realisation, to freedom from suffering, and to connection with your soul's purpose—and if you are willing to show up fully for yourself and the group—you are welcome.
What kind of experience is this?
Our retreats are guided transformational intensives. They combine light-based healing processes, meditation, silent integration, teachings, and group sharing. This is not a passive holiday—it is active inner work.
Will it always feel comfortable?
Not always. Deep healing sometimes brings discomfort as old patterns, memories, or past-life imprints rise to be released. This is a natural and valuable part of the process. Our facilitators are trained to hold space for whatever emerges with compassion and skill.
What is expected of me?
We ask that you:
Why no refund if I leave early?
Our retreats are carefully woven journeys. Each session builds on the last. If a participant leaves early, it affects their own process and the group container. We honour the commitment made by all who attend. If you are unsure whether you can stay for the full duration, we invite you to wait until you feel ready.
