Why come?

Whether your life is hectic and you are craving space or you maybe you are bored, uninspired and needing some new energy?

Retreating is a gift to ourselves. Our lives - just like our houseplants, get stunted when we aren’t attended to and don’t have room to grow. The idea that we are houseplants with emotions, means that like our plant friends we regularly need ‘repotting’. 

We need to create space for what’s next, we need to remove our life debris and give ourselves the opportunity to expand. Life can be depleting and if we are not careful we become shrivelled and bound. Repotted is three days to 'be'. To spend time with new people. To be nourished by incredible food and noticed by others. 

Taking yourself away is brave. It is bold to say to everyone around you - I need some space. I want something else. And I am going to step away from my doing to explore how I might BE!

“If you feel stuck in your current situation I would fully recommend taking the time out of your every day life and investing in yourself. Repotted made a huge difference to my life. I left with a plan and made some massive changes.”

What will I get?

Stunning food and shared accommodation (some individual rooms are available) is all included as well as three days with Lisa. Over 6 sessions Lisa will give share her tools and teachings that will change the way you see your life and give you the inspiration to move forward with whatever you want next. 

Nestled in the bush in the Coromandel, you can enjoy 3 days & 2 nights being nourished, rested and reset.

Post "Repotting" people have more clarity, more conviction and more energy to move forward. They have a plan. A plan that they have created. 

“I have spent years designing processes that help people to get clarity, to change their beliefs and step into action. Repotted is my favourite ‘work’. Watching people shift and grow is an incredible privilege”

“I had several epiphanies and am on my way to getting my mojo back. Everything about the retreat was perfect- the laughter, the tears, the quiet and the total honesty - Amazing”. -Tracey

FAQ's

I have been going to mana for many years for rest and retreats. It is on privately own landed and run by a passionate group of trustees. There are bush walks and a quiet reading room and gorgeous gardens and bush to explore.

Where is Mana Retreat?
Mana is situated 20 minutes south of Coromandel Town, a two-hour drive from Auckland or Hamilton. Please enquire about a return shuttle service from Auckland airport - we can book this if there is enough interest.

Whats the accommodation like?
Mana is a simple, beautiful & tranquil space. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The rooms are twin share and two of them have four single beds in them. There are shared bathroom facilities in each of the accommodation areas. 1 - 4 sharing each area. Please stipulate who you would like to room with.

What do I need to bring?
Comfort is key - wear soft casual clothes that you can lie around in, do walking in or sit on the floor in. As well as toiletries and personal belongings we suggest that you might like to bring a torch, walking shoes and warm socks/slippers. There are no shoes worn inside.

When do I need to arrive? And when will we finish?
Day 1 of repotted kicks off with lunch at Mana. We ask that you arrive between 11am and 12.30pm to settle into your rooms before we begin with lunch as a group. We will finish on the last day at 2.30pm. If you are requiring transport to and from Auckland, please make sure you can meet the shuttle by 9.30am, and allow for a flight after 6pm on the last day. Many of our attendees will stay an extra night in Auckland and depart the next morning.

How much is the shuttle service?
We can organise transport to and from the retreat from Auckland Airport. The cost is dependant on the number of people and ranges from $100 - $200per person each way.

What’s the food like?
The food is very nourishing, the kitchen team create both delicious and nutritious menus, all cooked with love from scratch for breakfast, lunch and dinner. For those with special needs we can cater for gluten free, dairy free, wheat free and vegan. Mana is an alcohol and drug free venue. 24 hour tea and coffee is available.
