RELATIONSHIP RETREATS
After six years of taking men into nature to do the work on our Men’s Wellbeing Retreats, we’re inviting in the women to join us men, for a series of new gatherings.
Alongside any strong Tāne - is an equally strong Wāhine.
How is your relationship?
Is it time to check in and and do some work?
In conjunction with Flow with Tia, we’re doing our first Relationship Retreat, in Tairua, this October 2024. We then have retreats planned in some other amazing locations through 2025.
Why are we doing this?
We’ve noticed, in the work we do with men, that relationships are getting tested.
In this age of busyness, screens and rushing around everywhere, we can end up on autopilot, each in our own worlds. When is the last time you looked deeply into the eyes of your partner, smiled and felt that same buzz as when you first met?
When there is a storm going on outside, you want your house to be built strong. That strong you don’t even know there is a storm outside.
The aim of these relationship retreats, is to strengthen the whare, that holds the masculine and feminine together.
We will honour the unique needs of the man and the woman, each going off on our own adventures, and then bringing it altogether.
In a relationship it is important both the man and the woman are doing the work.
Chances are, each of you have been doing that, especially if you’ve been on a Men’s Wellbeing Retreat. This is a chance to bring that work together, in a facilitated environment.
It is also a chance to meet other like minded couples and find out what is and isn’t working in their relationships and do some work as a village, helping each other out.
The best place to do this work, to get a new perspective, is away from your usual environment, in a safe space held by others, and surrounded by nature.
Who is Facilitating this Retreat?
Carl & Tia each had a lifetime of experience and their own children, when they met six years ago. They have navigated a new blended family life, over some of the most challenging times our country has experienced.
If you’ve been around Carl and Tia, you know the spark and energy that they have together, and they want to share that essence of unity with you.
Carl and Tia are both PreKure qualified health coaches, each working with their own clients, Carl with men being the best versions of themselves, and Tia doing the same with women.
Now it is time to bring this work together.
