9th-12th October 2025 | Arete Retreat, Levin | $1799 twin share room or $2299 private room
Join us for a transformative 3-night women’s yoga experience at Arete Eco Retreat - where we will celebrate transitions and personal growth in harmony with the energies of Ganesh. This special gathering will be led by Angela Baker of Holistic Yoga and will culminate in a full moon cacao circle and an inspiring workshop. You’ll experience the magic of the full moon, led by Rosenda Upton of Cultivate You, as we come together to connect, reflect, and embrace the changes in our lives. We’ll also offer a heart-opening experience, encouraging deep connections and shared insights with a workshop led by Kirstie Cleary. Throughout the retreat, you’ll engage in rejuvenating and restorative yoga sessions, guided meditations and group discussions, all designed to support your journey of transformation.
Whether you're seeking clarity, healing, or simply a moment of peace, this retreat offers a nurturing space for personal exploration. Join us for this unique opportunity to align with the energies of the universe and celebrate the beauty of transformation.
We look forward to sharing this sacred space with you.
About Arete
Near the end of a winding gravel road, past green fields and pine forests, nestled in the foothills of the magnificent Tararua Forest Park, Arete Retreat waits patiently to embrace you.
Here you’ll find an oasis that invites you to leave your everyday behind. Off grid, carbon-neutral, discrete, peaceful, calm.
. . .”I remember that nothing is mundane. I honor the power of the transition as a portal to transformation.
Everything is an offering. My life is a sacred ritual."
Householder's Prayer — Tracee Stanley

Claire, Remembering Self retreat 2024
"I recently attended the Remembering Self yoga retreat led by Angela hosted at Arete, and it was a truly transformative experience. Angela has poured incredible care and attention into crafting a safe and welcoming environment, where everyone felt free to be themselves. This level of safety enabled real growth and breakthroughs, both personally and as a group. I left feeling more grounded, connected, and inspired. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a supportive space to deepen their practice and discover new insights!”

“I recently had the privilege to attend Angela’s Remembering Self Retreat. Angela created such a beautiful space, empowering those in attendance to share and connect deeply with their peers and with themselves.
My body and soul were truly nourished at the Retreat and I feel very grateful to have been part of it. I look forward to future Retreats that Angela is facilitating.”
