Come to a CHECK UP Weekend on the last weekend of each MONTH.
Choose the day that best suits you.
For our free monthly CHECK UP Weekends we will have the same format as the 2024 CHECK INN Weekends, it’s just the metaphor has changed!
Each month Te Wahi Ora Women’s Retreat will have a weekend for women keen to explore and develop women’s experience of wholeness with all its potential for our resilience and happiness.
Why use the image of the Ocean?
In every age and every culture, the Ocean has been an image, a metaphor, of the Divine. What better imagery could we use for our own experience and learnings of the Ultimate Mystery in our Lives, than the Ocean!
Ever felt stuck in a shallow, disappointing pond?
Sometimes life feels stagnant, going no where?
Ever felt tossed around, no sense of meaning, no direction, nor support or comfort?
And ever experienced connection with
That which seems to have endless resources
That which seems to deeply care for your wellbeing
That which seems to have compassion not criticism for your ‘stuckness’, fears and anxiety.
We need to hear and be inspired by all these stories.
The 2025 CHECK UP Weekends are a place to tell your story, to hear the experiences of others and to connect again with The Ocean.
Even in this enlightened age 80% of the Oceans depths remain unexplored, how much of our lives are yet to be discovered, explored and reclaimed by us?
Join us for another year of inspiring CHECK UP Weekends!
The ‘Listeners’ and Bev are looking forward to seeing you at the end of each month, starting from the 29th and 30th of March 2025.
CHECK UP Weekend Timetable:
10.00am
Arrive at Te Wahi Ora Women’s Retreat. ‘Meet & Greet’ while enjoying Morning Tea and Coffee
10.30am
Meet in the lounge to set the ‘Theme for the Day’ and meet the ‘Listeners’.
11.00am Your choice:
Give yourself one hour in the outdoors and then spend the other precious hour talking with a trained ‘Listener’. Tell them of your experience connecting with the ‘Ocean’s’ resources or of where in your life you have feelings of a lack of support, purpose or comfort.
OR
Take 1-2 hours for just being in the outdoors.
(Bring appropriate clothing & shoes)

There is a magic that happens while sharing a meal. While you are here join us for a light lunch, stay on for the afternoon or when you are ready, head back home.
Please RSVP to help our catering team – but if you make a last minute decision to just pop in, you’ll be most welcome. Scroll down to find out how to RSVP.
Attend one or both days of a CHECK UP Weekend. Totally your choice!
There is no cost for CHECK UPS!*

We are not teaching spirituality or beliefs.
You are exploring yours. We would like to assist in the constructing and languaging of your own beliefs.
In fact, beliefs around anything in your life that feel heavy, overwhelming, or fun, heartwarming and inspirational. Leave with a different view of your issue and available resources
