Nourish day retreat

You’re busy. You care about your health. But the endless noise about what you should be eating? Exhausting.
You’re not alone.
Most of us are juggling full lives - trying to do the right thing for our bodies, only to feel more confused, overwhelmed, and disconnected from what we truly need.
Join Rosenda and Elizabeth at Nourish Day Retreat - your invitation to press pause.
To step away from the noise.
To return to simple, delicious food that leaves you feeling nourished, calm, and well.
Because eating doesn’t have to be complicated.
And your body already knows what it needs.
Everything you need for the day is included.
A full day of guided experiences and workshops
Nourishing morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea
Market garden tour and cooking demonstration
Market garden goodie bag to take home
Discount voucher for the market shop
A little more spaciousness and calm than you arrived with
What to expect…
Clear the Confusion Workshop - A Nourishment Reset
In a world full of confusing food messages and marketing noise, how do we come home to what truly nourishes us?
In this session, we’ll explore how diet culture, marketing tools like the Health Star Rating, and modern food trends have pulled us away from the wisdom of nature and from our own inner knowing.
You’ll leave with:
A renewed sense of trust in your body
Practical ways to nourish your gut
A simple guide to choosing food that honours your wellbeing
Because real nourishment isn’t about rules - it’s about remembering.
Nourishing Lunch, Morning & Afternoon Tea
Seasonal, wholesome food enjoyed together.
Space to slow down, savour, and connect - with yourself, with others, and with nature.
Market Garden Tour
Enjoy an enriching guided tour of the farm - exploring regenerative and biodynamic principles, learning from those who tend the land, and deepening your connection to the soil, the food, and the wisdom beneath your feet.
Cooking Demonstration
With the cooler months calling us inward, Elizabeth Marshall - Holistic Master Health Coach and Chef - will guide you through two simple, seasonal recipes designed to ground and replenish.
Using produce from the land beneath your feet, you’ll learn how to build nourishing base recipes that can be easily adapted to suit your mood, needs, and the food you have on hand.
A reminder that real nourishment starts with simplicity, seasonality, and coming home to your body.
Time to Explore the Market Garden Shop
As the day draws to a close, you’ll be invited to collect your Market Garden Goodie Bag, filled with the produce you’ll need to recreate the dishes you tasted today.
As a guest of this retreat, you’ll also receive a special discount voucher to use in the Market Garden Shop - so you can take even more nourishment home with you.
This retreat is a gift to your future self
A chance to step away from the noise, slow down, and reconnect to what truly nourishes your body, mind, and spirit.
Our intention with Nourish Day Retreat is to create a beautiful day of education, connection, and simplicity - where our guests walk away feeling inspired, empowered, and deeply nourished, with clarity about how to bring this into their everyday lives.
No more second-guessing.
No more complicated recipes.
No more overwhelm about what to eat.
Just real, delicious food.
Connected to nature. Connected to you.
This is for you if…
You’re busy - and tired of feeling confused about what to eat
You want food that is simple, delicious, and nourishing - not complicated or time-consuming
You’re craving a deeper connection to the food you eat and where it comes from
You want to understand how to support your gut health and mental wellbeing through what you put on your plate
You want to step out of the hustle for a day - and leave feeling grounded, clear, and inspired
Are you ready to feel clear, grounded, and nourished in body and mind?
Join us for a beautiful day of learning, connection, and simplicity.
Leave with recipes, inspiration, produce, and a renewed trust in your own inner wisdom.

A Restorative Day Retreat
Restore. Nurture. Nourish.
Sunday 31st August 2025 | 10am to 5pm
Woodcote, Mangaroa Farms, Upper Hutt
Investment per person $295
Numbers limited to 10
Join Rosenda of Cultivate You and Melanie from Poet Botanicals for a deeply nurturing and restorative day, with the intention to connect with nature and community, while experiencing some beautiful self-care practices.
A time for reflection, renewal and connection to the natural world.
-
The day will begin in the Mangaroa Farms Yurt where we’ll come together as a group to settle in, and set our intentions for the day.
You’ll then take a sensory journey into the world of natural scent, discovering the beauty of essential oils and their therapeutic qualities. You’ll be guided by Melanie of Poet Botanicals to design your own signature scent, serving as a keepsake of what resonates with you on the day as we reflect on the theme of nurture, rest and restore. You’ll make a beautiful aromatherapy candle scented with your blend to take home.
We’ll then pause to enjoy a nourishing home-made lunch made from Mangaroa Farms produce and other local producers.
After lunch you have the option of going on a nature walk around the beautiful surrounds of Mangaroa Farms, guided by your hosts Rosenda and Melanie - or you can remain at Woodcote and take advantage of the sauna, rest or read - whatever you feel like at the time.
To close our day, we gather in ceremony, a sacred space to come home to self. Guided by Rosenda, you’ll be invited into a heart-opening cacao ritual. This time of year calls us inward to pause, reflect and gently shed what no longer serves us.
Then, surrounded by candlelight and the warmth of community, we’ll sit in circle, allowing cacao’s nourishing qualities to ground us in our bodies and awaken our hearts.
This is a space for reflection, rest and gentle release.
Through breath, journaling and intention, you’ll be supported to:
honour what’s been
release what’s ready to go
and call in what you are ready to embody in this new cycle ahead.
Together we co-create a moment of stillness and soul, a ritual of reconnection that invites you to leave feeling restored, nurtured and deeply nourished.
-
Across time and tradition, women have gathered at seasonal thresholds - to honour not only the turning of the Earth, but the quiet stirrings within.
The final day of winter holds a particular kind of magic.
A moment to pause, to honour the stillness, and to listen deeply.
It reminds us that rest is not a luxury, but a rhythm.
That what we release creates fertile ground for what longs to grow.
That we are nature - cyclical, wise, and ever-becoming.
For women especially, this is a potent invitation.
To awaken what’s been dormant.
To soften into intuition.
To rise into a new season with clarity, courage, and care.
