Held Together – A Couple’s Retreat for Rest & Connection
Kia ora neighbours 💛
I’d love to share something very close to my heart.
On Saturday 27th September, my friend Claudia and I are hosting a special retreat for couples at the beautiful Kohimarama Boat Club, right by the sea.
✨ This retreat is for every couple – whether you’ve just started dating, have been together for years, are engaged, or married. What matters most is your wish to spend meaningful time together.
The afternoon will be gentle, relaxing, and completely beginner-friendly. No experience is needed — just an open heart and a willingness to reconnect.
💑 What’s Included:
• A warm welcome with ceremonial cacao
• Gentle couple yoga with essential oils
• Simple connection practices (mindful, loving, and fun)
• Guided couple meditation
• A live sunset sound journey with violin & cello (an original symphony composed just for this retreat!)
• A nourishing shared dinner by the sea 🌅
This retreat is about slowing down, letting go of life’s busyness, and coming back to what really matters — the love you share. 💞
📍 Kohimarama Boat Club, 80 Tamaki Drive, Mission Bay, Auckland
🕑 2–8 PM | Early bird tickets available until 7th of September.
If this speaks to you, or if you know a couple who would love this experience, we’d be so grateful if you shared it with them.

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲
The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

A riddle to start the festive season 🌲🎁🌟
I'm a fruit. If you take away my first letter, I'm a crime. If you take away my first two letters, I'm an animal. If you take away my first and last letter, I'm a form of music. What am I?

Auckland, why are we so excited about a new store? 🚗🛒
I think we’ve all seen the traffic notices and headlines about the new IKEA by now!
So here’s the question: why do we get so excited when a new store opens? Convenience? Curiosity? A reason for a weekend outing? We’d love to hear your thoughts!
