Following a fantastic retreat at Mana this past January, Rachel and Renee are excited to return and share their inspiring teachings during Waitangi weekend 2026. They would be delighted to have you join us. Here’s what they have to say about the upcoming retreat.
Your Inner Retreat
Come with us to Mana Retreat Centre, located in the beautiful Coromandel, New Zealand. We curated this 4 day Journey as a time for you to come home, slow down, listen, and remember the essence of being.
Enjoy daily morning Meditation, Yoga and Breathwork and Journeys, Workshops, Nature walks, and optional Yin/Meditation sessions to close the day.
We look forward to seeing you there.
