Te Whenua Retreat — Local services in South Island

I had the most wonderful experience at Te Whenua Retreat. Jenny was absolutely fabulous – warm, caring, and so genuine in the way she held space for everyone. I truly enjoyed our time together, from the deeply nourishing spiritual conversations to the fun and inspiring cooking classes.
