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.

💡 A Little Brain Buzz for You⚡
I have two faces, but show you only one.
I once had guests, but now have none.
I’m rarely bloody and seldom blue.
I’m often promised and sometimes new

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Auckland has a thriving cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures across the country, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
