Did you know that spending just 10 minutes in nature can help reduce stress, calm the mind, improve mood, and support overall wellbeing? 🌿

Nature has an incredible ability to restore balance. The sound of birdsong, the fresh air, the feeling of bare feet on the earth, and the gentle rhythm of the natural world all help our bodies and minds return to a more relaxed and harmonious state.

At Earth Village, we witness this every day.

There is something special about walking through the forest at Earth Village. 🌿

The beautiful ngahere embraces you like a warm hug, and you can't help but feel instantly at ease. As the sunlight filters through the trees and the sounds of nature surround you, the busyness of everyday life begins to melt away.

Time in nature is proven to reduce stress, calm the nervous system, and restore balance to the mind, body, and spirit. But beyond the science, there is a feeling that can only be experienced for yourself.

Have you walked these paths before?
How did it make you feel?

🍃 Relaxed 🍃 Peaceful 🍃 Joyful 🍃 Grounded 🍃 Connected

🌿 Finding True Self Retreat | This Winter 🌿

July 24-26, 2026 | Haruru Falls Retreat

Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to truly know yourself?

To move beyond the constant chatter of the mind and reconnect with the deeper essence of who you are?

Do you often find yourself overwhelmed, caught in cycles of overthinking, self-doubt, or feeling disconnected from your purpose?

Many of us spend our lives shaped by unconscious beliefs, conditioning, and stories about who we think we should be. Over time, these layers can obscure our true nature and leave us feeling lost, disconnected, or unfulfilled.

The Finding True Self Retreat is an immersive journey of self-discovery, offering a safe and supportive space to explore the layers beneath the surface. Through guided practices, reflection, and deep inner work, you will have the opportunity to uncover limiting beliefs, reconnect with your authentic self, and cultivate a greater sense of clarity, presence, and self-worth.

Held by the powerful falls of Haruru Falls Retreat this retreat invites you to slow down, turn inward, and remember the wisdom that has always existed within you.

Join us this winter for a transformative journey home to yourself.

🌿 Spaces are limited.

🌿 It takes many hands to create something beautiful. 🌿

Over the past few weeks, our incredible volunteers have been pouring their time, energy, and love into the Earth Village gardens, helping to create welcoming spaces for all who visit.

Every w**d pulled, every seed planted, and every garden bed tended is an act of care for the land and for our community.

We are deeply grateful for the generosity, dedication, and heart that our volunteers bring to Earth Village. Together, we're not just growing gardens - we're growing connection, belonging, and a shared vision for a more harmonious future.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed. 💚

Finding Your True Self Retreat
24-26 July, 2026 🌿

Are You Ready to Meet Yourself?

Not the version of yourself shaped by expectations, conditioning, responsibilities, and life experiences.

Your true self.

The essence of who you were before the world told you who you should be.

When you entered this world, you arrived as a pure soul - whole, authentic, and connected. As the years pass, we gather layers of beliefs, patterns, wounds, and identities that can take us further away from our true nature.

Real transformation doesn't come from becoming someone new.

It comes from peeling back the layers and remembering who you have always been.

Join us for a deeply nourishing 3-day, 2-night Finding Your True Self Retreat, a journey of self-discovery, self-awareness, and self-love.

Held within the peaceful surroundings of our sister venue, Haruru Falls Retreat, this experience offers a sacred space to slow down, reconnect, and listen deeply to yourself.

Through daily practices, reflection, and guided experiences, you'll begin to recognise the thoughts, patterns, and stories that no longer serve you, creating space for greater clarity, authenticity, and inner peace.

Enjoy nourishing, wholesome meals, supportive community, and the opportunity to reconnect with the pure soul that exists beneath it all.
Leave feeling lighter, more present, and more deeply connected to yourself.

Your journey home to yourself begins here.

Secure your place today.

It's amazing what can be achieved with kind hearts and helping hands. ❤️

This weekend, we were blessed to have a beautiful group of volunteers join us for a working bee at the Forest Healing Forest Healing Festival village site. Together, we w**ded, planted native trees, and helped bring new life to the land.

A heartfelt thank you to Maria Drum and Alice for sharing uplifting Qi Gong sessions, Ngaru and Nick for preparing the sauna, and all of our volunteers for your generosity, sincere hearts, and hard mahi.

We would also like to extend our gratitude to Master Choi from Body and Brain Northland Centre for hosting our volunteers for a powerful Qi Gong session that helped reset and recharge both mind and body.

Seeing what can be accomplished when people come together in service, connection, and care for the earth is truly inspiring. Thank you all for being part of this journey. 🌿🙏
