Give yourself a gift, an immersion retreat just for yourself
Retreats NZ is led by Susan Allen and offers meditation and yoga retreats around New Zealand. Susan has been teaching for over 20 years and running retreats for over 10 years. We would love to have you join us for one of our magical retreat immersions.
From the bushclad hills of the Coromandel to the wild mountains and the Southern lakes, we have the perfect retreat experience for you. A retreat should be just that – a chance to have time for yourself, away from your responsibilities, away from the routine and to-do list. Our meditation and yoga retreats are an opportunity to deepen your practice and to feel inspired, walking a path that feels meaningful and fulfilling.
Retreats NZ runs meditation retreats as well as yoga retreats across NZ. If you are looking to deepen your practice or your intention is simply to have some quiet time to yourself, we’d love to have you join us.

The environment, facilities and food were all terrific. But the meditation and yoga were even better. Our meditation teacher, Susan Allen, was superb. The teachings we received were of the highest quality and they were delivered in an exceptionally precise and clear manner. Our yoga teacher, Kate from Dome Yoga in Hawea, was also excellent.
