Winter Soul Soothe
26 -29 June 2025 - Aio Wira Retreat Centre
Waitakere, Auckland
As the days shorten and the sun sets lower in the sky, it is time to welcome in nourishment, a deeper level of self-care.
An invitation to slow down.
Join Wild Stillness Retreats and retreat to a space where DEEP REST is the top priority.
Our Winter Soul Soothe Retreat this June gives space to pause and truly feel into this moment.
Over 4 days and 3 nights, we cultivate a deeply grounding, nurturing and vibrantly connected space. Every element of our retreat is carefully curated to create a soft landing for deep unfurling. A place for you to settle into your body, connect with yourself, mother nature and other like-minded women.
Connect to the breath and body through breathwork, yoga, dance, music and meditation at a pace that suits your body. Experience the bliss of cacao and the supreme relaxation of guided sauna meditations. Explore creativity with our intuitively guided creative expression workshop and generate a curiosity for your feminine nature, and our relationship to mother nature. Learn wellbeing tools to become familiar with yourself once again, as you take the time to celebrate who you are, as you are. Nourish your body inside and out with our absolutely delicious organic vegetarian food, cooked with love by our incredible retreat chef Toni, from Ubuntu Kai .
Start each day with a flowing yoga class, followed by inspiring workshops, deep relaxation techniques and ample opportunity to wander the beautiful surroundings of our gorgeous retreat space. We limit this retreat to 14 women, creating a safe environment to slow-down, be yourself and feel truly comfortable together.
Beth and Vanessa are your welcoming retreat guides at Wild Stillness Retreats. Together they have decades of experience as teachers and facilitators, in yoga, meditation, workshops, music, ecology and creative expression. Their aim is to create a truly authentic space to be free, honest, deep and joyful.

Yoga, Meditation, Dance & Exploration
Our bodies offer a way to connect to our true nature. To let go of our busy minds and be in the present moment. Our movement and meditation offerings allow you to slow down, feel and trust your body.

Connection to Nature
Repairing the human relationship to the living planet is at the core of our work. The healing power of nature is immeasurable and it flows both ways. We can learn to live within the natural rhythms, giving back to the earth which sustains and nurtures us. The retreat will be held nestled in the lush Waitākere Ranges, near Bethells Beach, Auckland.

Delicious Organic, Vegetarian Food
Food symbolises connection, it is medicine for the body and nourishment for the soul. Our food is lovingly created with intention and crafted to suit each of our retreats. We use delicious organic and locally sourced ingredients (where possible) to create wholesome, scrumptious vegetarian food.

Aio Wira - our Retreat Location
Aio Wira offers a natural sanctuary where you can escape the stresses of modern life for a while. Nestled within the beautiful native bush of the Waitakere ranges, it’s a place to breathe, meditate, heal, relax and learn within a group environment.
Aio Wira Retreat Center offers a 4ha bush-clad sanctuary to heal and relax, to connect and play, and to regain your sense of self and optimal health – In short, to simply take time.
From the main complex, there are two walks down into the valley to the river, which is swimable depending on weather conditions. We will also have the Sauna available for use to cleanse, soothe and refresh your mind, body and soul.
Located only 15mins from Bethell's Beach and Swanson, this gorgeous area offers stunning bushwalks, magical sunsets and a break away from the busy pace of life.
