What to expect...
Nestled in the Southern Alps of New Zealand, Aro Ha offers evidence-based wellness intensives that transform your state of wellbeing. Here the best of longevity research guides our bodies, and insight traditions guide our hearts. Our days will harness the power of nature, nutrition, mindfulness, and much more. Your legs will climb mountains, your knots will be soothed, and your nights will be restorative.
Several times a year, Aro Ha proudly partners with engaging educators to accompany our award-winning retreats. This special retreat, we welcome Lyndall Mitchell, an Australian wellness pioneer, entrepreneur and founder of Aurora Spa & Bathhouse and ASPAR. Lyndall's sessions are about bringing the spirit of retreat home with you. Drawing on her experience across global wellness traditions, spa and bathing rituals, and contemporary approaches to wellbeing, she offers a grounded, practical take on creating space for restoration, even when life is full.
Guests will be introduced to the four pillars of Eat. Sleep. Move. Restore., and explore how nourishment, rest, movement and restoration work together to support a more considered way of living.
You’ll leave with a clearer sense of what wellbeing means to you, practical ideas to take home, and a renewed understanding of how small, intentional choices can make restoration part of your everyday life.
