Thank you for visiting our site.
The Retreat is on 'pause mode' for a little time over the Christmas and New Year period while we do some maintenance work and prepare to welcome new whānau to the Retreat. We are very very keen to hear from you and will be back from the morning of the 10th January.
Please do return to this page on or around the 10th, and reach out to us here (we'll explain the process; it's simple).
In the meantime, please check out the following supports which are available over this time.
Aroha to you and yours from the Retreat Team; we are proud of you for coming here.
