Meditation Retreats
Day Retreat
Upwind & Uplift
November 15, 2025
Heart Song Dance Temple, Bethell’s Beach
Join Claire Robbie of SOMM and Raquel & Stu of Kanuka Yoga Space in mid-November as we gather on Auckland's stunning West Coast and immerse ourselves in yogic practices like meditation, asana, pranayama and nature baths and more!
Immerse yourself in the natural surrounds of Bethells Beach; a day filled with yoga, meditation, nature, live sounds, delicious foods and like-minded company.
Mid-November being a perfect time to reflect on the year that has been, and to sew seeds for the warmer, summer months ahead.
Find some freedom in the mind and body during one, or both of the scheduled yoga classes. Take time to reflect and journal beside a cosy fire place within the calming Heart Song Dance Temple space. Enjoy delicious, fresh, and professionally catered food. Enjoy like-minded company, and perhaps connect with some new faces as we explore the dunes and lakes close by. Be swept away with live sounds of acoustic guitar, handpan and other calming live instruments.
