Held Together – A Couple’s Retreat for Rest & Connection
Kia ora neighbours 💛
I’d love to share something very close to my heart.
On Saturday 27th September, my friend Claudia and I are hosting a special retreat for couples at the beautiful Kohimarama Boat Club, right by the sea.
✨ This retreat is for every couple – whether you’ve just started dating, have been together for years, are engaged, or married. What matters most is your wish to spend meaningful time together.
The afternoon will be gentle, relaxing, and completely beginner-friendly. No experience is needed — just an open heart and a willingness to reconnect.
💑 What’s Included:
• A warm welcome with ceremonial cacao
• Gentle couple yoga with essential oils
• Simple connection practices (mindful, loving, and fun)
• Guided couple meditation
• A live sunset sound journey with violin & cello (an original symphony composed just for this retreat!)
• A nourishing shared dinner by the sea 🌅
This retreat is about slowing down, letting go of life’s busyness, and coming back to what really matters — the love you share. 💞
📍 Kohimarama Boat Club, 80 Tamaki Drive, Mission Bay, Auckland
🕑 2–8 PM | Early bird tickets available until 7th of September.
If this speaks to you, or if you know a couple who would love this experience, we’d be so grateful if you shared it with them.

Aucklanders, we want to know: How are you feeling about the current property market?
New Zealand homeowners are now more likely to sell at a loss than at any time since 2013, and if you’re in Auckland or Wellington, the odds are even higher.
But there is a silver lining: buyers are still in a strong position when it comes to negotiating prices.
So we’re curious…
How are you feeling about the current property market?
