SLOW UNFOLDING
Cultivating presence, aliveness and belonging
A two-day immersive, residential experience on Waiheke Island | 1–3 May, 2026
About the experience
Slow Unfolding is a small, in-person experience for those feeling called to soften, regulate, and inhabit their whole Self through nature, ceremony, self-inquiry, and embodied presence.
The intention is not to add more, to fix, or to strive.
Why this experience
It is an invitation to unsaturate, to move at the pace of the nervous system, and to allow what is already alive within you to emerge without force.
Each gathering is held in relationship with the natural world and the elements.
We connect. We listen. We tend.
Held across Friday afternoon to Sunday, this immersive experience invites you to step out of everyday life and into a slower, more embodied rhythm.
The work unfolds through shared time, food, guided practice, time in nature, ceremony, and simple rituals that support presence, integration, and connection.
Why this work, now
Many people arrive here not because something is “wrong,” but because something is missing. Life can feel full, demanding, and like we are always on, yet internally there is often a sense of saturation, dullness, or disconnection.
This experience is for those who are tired of managing themselves, pushing through, or seeking another solution, and are instead longing for a contained pause that restores clarity, vitality, and inner harmony.
Why Waiheke Island
Waiheke Island offers physical and psychological distance from the pace of everyday life. The journey to the island, combined with its natural environment, quieter rhythm, and reduced stimulation, creates the conditions for attention to settle and for the body to slow down.
This experience is shaped in relationship with place, season, and the elements, allowing nature to actively support the work alongside guided embodied practice.
