Day Retreat 2026

SACRED TRANSFORMATION

Join us for a one-day urban retreat to pause, listen inward, and allow the next version of you to emerge.

With Paula and Nicole

30th May, 2026

9.00am - 4.30pm

Your Sanctuary

THE LIFE CENTRE in Ponsonby — a calm, light-filled haven in the heart of Auckland.

Pause. Transform. Emerge into Your Next Chapter.

This retreat is an invitation to step out of the noise, reconnect with your body and mind, and learn how to intentionally create the life you want — grounded in neuroscience, not wishful thinking.

Whether you're navigating a transition, craving clarity, or simply need a day that's entirely for you — this is your sanctuary.

Manifestation Meets Neuroscience

This isn't about magical thinking. Inspired by the work of Dr. Tara Swart — a neuroscientist — our approach is rooted in how your brain actually works.

According to Dr. Swart manifestation is powered by real neural mechanisms: selective attention and neuroplasticity. Your brain constantly filters the millions of data points it receives, prioritising what you've tagged as important.

During this retreat, you'll learn to harness these mechanisms through a creative practice: a vision board that activates your brain's visual processing to look out for the opportunities that align with your goals.

Words from previous participants …

How wonderful to give yourself permission to rest and focus on yourself for a whole day. Thank you Paula and Nicole for creating such a cozy nurturing environment. I loved being so well looked after! Learning to slow down is a skill, so how great to take a day to focus on that, on the natural rhythms of the seasons and on what winter is asking of us. Thank you thank you thank you!
