Creating Your Sacred Life

~ A Retreat For Your Soul ~
6 days - March 1 - 6, 2012

When did you last take sacred time for yourself .... to nourish, nurture, and connect with your deepest passions and sacred feminine gifts?

Imagine:

• Nurturing yourself in absolute beauty, solitude and enchantment
• Connecting with other soulful women to discover, support and celebrate together.
• Experiencing the magic and wisdom of the indigenous New Zealand Maori culture.
• Learning how to create sacred space and connecting to your passions while experiencing the transformation it brings.
• Add and sharpen powerful tools in your intuitive feminine tool-kit.

We invite you to unplug from your day-to-day busyness and immerse yourself in sacred beauty and Soul nourishment.  Rediscover the part of you who has been patiently waiting to be remembered and nurtured as you have cared for and nurtured everyone else. 

Embrace your divine feminine energy and connect with other soulful women, allowing your Self to be seen in a safe and loving environment, surrounded by incredible natural beauty, enchantment and solitude.  Set aside your day-to-day routine and distractions and return “home”.  

Reconnect to your Soul.  Refuel and renew yourself, as you soak in the warmth of the March sun, nourishing your body with healthy food, embracing the beautiful woman that you are in one of the most enchanting and sacred places in the world.

In these six soul-filled days you will:

• Ceremoniously release anything that is not serving you, making room for the new.
• Have fun engaging your creativity while reconnecting to and expressing the calling of your Soul. Use SoulCollage® to bring forth your future self and learn to use the cards to tap into your inner wisdom.
• Experience exciting new ways to release stuck energy and attract the life of your dreams.
• Learn from a beautiful and gifted Maori healer as she reveals and shares her magic and wisdom.
• Dive deeper into your feminine gifts as you explore new tools for connecting with your intuitive wisdom, Source energy, and spiritual guides.
• Learn how to make delicious green smoothies, and eat incredible locally grown food.
• Begin, deepen and/or refresh your meditation and journaling practice.
• Discover what YOU are most passionate about, harnessing the energy of your spirit to propel you to an extraordinary life.
• Feel the magic of this powerful land as you explore one of New Zealand’s many beautiful coastline walks. Raise your resonance, reconnect with mother earth and feel the spirits of the land as you embrace the elements in a new way.

If you are one of those who say: "I've always wanted to visit New Zealand", what could be better than experiencing transformation as you explore your inner and outer Self? And what better time than now?

Be prepared for a transformation. I have shifted the center of my world from a place of just doing the best that I can to a place of having the power to create my life. A world of thanks for helping me make this powerful change, Vicky! ~ Jane Mack, Texas

Before coaching with Cindy I was doing a lot of reading and researching and trying to 'figure out' the way forward in my life. I kept reading about spirituality, but I was intellectualizing it rather than living the things I was reading. And then I'd beat myself up for my life not working out the way I wanted it to! I came up against the same roadblocks over and over again -- relationships not working out, work not being satisfying, etc. -- and I couldn't seem to stop falling into self pity. With Cindy 'holding the space' for me to learn to love and forgive myself, I find it much easier to live in gratitude and to notice all the wonderful parts of my life. Something magical happens then -- even better things seem to take place! ~ Kathy McVey, New Zealand

I came to the retreat to get back in touch with who I really am, without the distraction of everyday stresses. I accomplished that and more. I feel lighter and happier than I have in a very long time. The retreat certainly exceeded my expectations. Connecting with the other women and the synergy we developed was magical. This was definitely one of the top 5 experiences of my life. I'd absolutely recommend a retreat with Vicky to other women. -- Janie Mabe, Virginia

... I had a great first session with Cindy yesterday and already I see my heart opening up so much more for my clients and myself. We laughed, cried (well I cried) and beat the bushes for the truth and reconnected me to my heart and moved me out of my head in a way I could never have expected so quickly. I'm so grateful to be working with Cindy, as she is such a Master of the Heart! ~Nattacia Mantei, Health Crisis Coach, Alberta, Canada

This retreat with Vicky was the best thing I've done for myself, ever! I arrived with a question about whether to stay at or go from my current job. Not only did I receive the answer, I gleaned powerful guidance as to what is next for me career-wise. I am most grateful. Would I recommend this retreat to other women? Absolutely.                  ~Vickie Sargent, California

Retreat Location

Creating A Sacred Life ~ A Retreat For Your Soul, takes place just outside the city of Gisborne, on the magical East Coast of the North Island of New Zealand.  This magical coastline is best known for its beautiful beaches, world-class surfing, fresh local produce, fish and wine, spirituality and tranquility.  It is the birthplace of the sun, making it the first city in the world to see the new day.  Add to this the rich Maori heritage, experiencing a spiritual essence and magic you will not find anywhere else in the world. 

Tuamotu Retreat Centre

Surrounded by green rolling hillsides, sitting high on a ridgeline overlooking the blue Pacific Ocean, Tuamotu Retreat Centre beckons inner peace and tranquillity.  Named for a small distant island in the native Maori language, it is an island of serenity and beauty.  Powered by the sun and wind with clear rainwater collected for drinking, Tuamotu harnesses the elements creating a fully independent, “off-the-grid” environment.  Organic vegetables and fruit grown on site nourish our body as the setting nourishes our spirit.

Choose to relax by the reflection pond or sit in one of the many private nooks around the centre as you deepen your connection within.  Or, take a leisurely stroll along the winding pathways on the property taking in the beautiful sights and natural beauty surrounding this sacred area.

In this often busy and chaotic life of ours, come share in the peace and clarity of what is the essence of life at Tuamotu, New Zealand.  First to see the sunrise of a new day and first to reflect back on all the good things that tomorrow brings.

Here's where you'll be staying!

We have negotiated a great room rate at the local spa hotel - The Emerald. Right in the heart of Gisborne, you'll be close to restaurants, shops and everything you need. We will provide transportation each day to Cindy's home, your retreat location.

You can share a room at The Emerald, or talk to us about other options when you register.

Gisborne is off the beaten track, so you'll be experiencing a magical energy here that many tourists never get to experience. Some New Zealanders too!

Vicky helped me see who I needed TO BE to have the life I want. For the last 5 years I have relentlessly read almost every book, watched the videos, and listened to the tapes on how to manifest your desired life. These tools were helpful in manifesting the small stuff. But I didn't have the fundamentals of who I needed to BE to connect it all together. Vicky has enabled me to become more clear about what I want, who I need TO BE, and have the tools to manifest my desires. Without Vicky's coaching, it would have taken me another 3 to 5 years to manifest my intentions. ~ Laurie Wilk, CA

Cindy's approach is quite different than anything else I've tried. She has helped me get to the core so I could heal myself from within. She has given me tools and information to heal my wounds, forgive my past, learn from my experiences, reclaim myself and powerfully move forward in my life. Today, I stand in my power, taking full authority for my life. I have created boundaries where necessary and can say "no" and mean it when it's the best choice for me. Because I have a new and healthier respect for myself, my family now looks to me for leadership. I am far stronger and more confident. My relationship with my partner has shifted too. I feel empowered, in charge and excited about the future! ~Diane Robertson - Hospitality Training and Consulting

Frequently Asked Questions

What is your refund policy? Your deposit ($297.00 NZ) is non-refundable, sorry. We do this because there are only 14 spots available for participants in this retreat and we want to know you are committed to attending. The remainder of your payment is refundable until December 30, 2011. After that, it will be refundable if we fill your spot.

New Zealand is a long way to come for one week - what else can I do there? New Zealand is an amazing country with an enormous variety in a small space. We are happy to give you recommendations - from the Art Deco Festival in Napier in mid February which we'd both highly recommend if you're here then, to the spectacular beauty of the Milford area. From tramping (called 'hiking' in Nth America) to kayaking, exciting train journeys, the cafe scene in Wellington or exploring hundreds of miles of pristine coastline, you'll have an unforgettable experience in New Zealand with this retreat and the warm welcome you'll undoubtably receive from New Zealanders. You won't want to leave!

What is the weather like in March in New Zealand? Remember March is still summer in New Zealand - the days are still warm and long. March is like September in North America. Gisborne is in the North Island of NZ so is warmer than further south. Check out the temperatures in NZ here.

How do I register? Just email Vicky or Cindy and we'll connect. Our intention is to create an amazing experience for a small group of women. We've put a lot of thought and energy into planning the perfect retreat and would like to talk with you first to answer any questions and to make sure this is the right fit for you. Please contact us and you'll be on your way.

This could be you!
