Hosted by Sarita Blankenburg and her Ayurveda New Zealand team at Parohe on Kawau Island from 27–30 March 2025, this retreat is an opportunity to escape the hectic pace of daily life and embrace the rejuvenating practices of authentic Ayurveda in a stunning natural setting.
Why Cleanse in Autumn?
As summer fades and the crisp, cooler air of autumn settles in, our bodies naturally seek balance and renewal. This seasonal transition is the perfect time to cleanse, letting go of the heat and dryness of summer to prepare for the grounding energy of autumn.
The Location – An Island Sanctuary
Parohe is just an hour’s drive north of Auckland and a 20-minute ferry ride from Matakana. Surrounded by native bush and pristine waters, this peaceful haven allows you to leave behind accumulated stress and reconnect with nature.
Accommodations to Suit Your Needs
Choose from a variety of boutique accommodations, including private rooms or twin-share options, each designed to provide comfort and relaxation.
Ayurvedic Consultation and Treatments
As part of the package, each guest will have an Ayurvedic consultation with Sarita prior to the retreat which provides an opportunity to address any health concerns and select your Ayurvedic treatments for the retreat.
A Nourishing Culinary Experience
Delicious Ayurvedic plant-based meals are prepared by renowned Little Bird chef Gawain Cowley. The menu is designed to support your cleanse and balance your doshas. An Ayurvedic cooking class will inspire you to incorporate dosha-specific recipes into your daily life.
Daily Yoga Practices and Activities
Start and end each day with restorative yoga sessions in a tranquil setting overlooking the sea or surrounded by native bush. During your free time, explore the island’s walking trails, paddle boarding, kayaking or take a refreshing swim. For deeper relaxation, unwind in the Swedish sauna or enjoy an outdoor bath.
A Guest’s Perspective
Adam Harris, director and entrepreneur from Taranaki, shared his experience: “I had the pleasure of joining Sarita’s Ayurveda Spring Cleanse Retreat in November 2024 together with my wife to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The care, diligence and attention to each person’s needs were evident even before we arrived. Once there, I was able to relax, recharge and rejuvenate through the wonderful treatments, nourishing food and practical sessions on incorporating Ayurveda into daily life. This mini adventure has left me excited for more. It’s not a question of ‘if’ but ‘when’ I will book another retreat.”
