What to expect..
Several times a year, Aro Ha proudly partners with engaging educators to accompany our award-winning retreats.
Deep Winter is a seasonal return to your body that incorporates unique wellness sessions with Zara, an experienced and intuitive sound healer and breathwork instructor. Guests will immerse in structured breathwork, gong resonance and vibrational sound sessions designed to support nervous system regulation, deeper sleep and embodied restoration.
Nestled in the Southern Alps, Aro Ha offers evidence-based wellness experiences where longevity research guides the body and insight traditions guide the heart. This retreat combines Camilla and Azra’s expertise and insights with Aro Ha’s signature wellness experiences to help you unlock your best self and future.
Winter is not a time to perform, it is a time to repair. This is an opportunity to surrender to deep restoration in one of the most breathtaking locations in the world.

Where Science Meets Spirit
Zara is the founder of Mellow Habits, a refined wellness concept centred on nervous system regulation, sensory restoration and sleep support.
Her work blends structured breathwork, somatic fascia practices and immersive sound experiences to create environments where the body can shift out of stress and into recovery. Known for her grounded, quietly luxurious approach, Zara designs multi-sensory experiences that support deep rest without force.
She collaborates with private clients, luxury retreats and hospitality properties across Australia and internationally, curating programmes that honour both physiology and atmosphere.
Her work is rooted in the belief that rest is a skill and in winter especially, a biological necessity.
