Shunyata, A New Zealand Based Retreat
Shunyata mean emptiness – and when the mind is empty, clarity is found and the heart leads, and the power of love can heal
Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion
– Rumi

About Shunyata
Shunyata was opened in 2005 as part of Paru’s commitment to assisting people to open their hearts and care for themselves (self-love) so that they can be present in their daily lives. She wished she had a place like this when she was going through her own journey in Byron Bay, so getting together with colleagues brainstorming – came up with a unique retreat that truly works!!!!!
17 years on this retreat has deepened in both herself and her therapies and she has continued traveling the world updating with world-class wellness & products to help you on your journey.
Finding this untouched paradise has been the best thing that has ever happened as I have traveled the world and found so many places ruined and overtaken. Even 17 years on it has just become more beautiful, as everyone comments when they come.

Understand mindfulness & beyond – the truth of the body & soul
Testimonials from Happy Shunyata Retreat and Day Spa clients
What a beautiful experience I had with Paru, my host. For a start, the location is in a really quiet, stop-in-time spot with a view of the ocean and boats and the garden, peaceful idyllic surroundings for a retreat.
This was the most wonderful, healing, soul-soothing retreat I’ve ever experienced! It was truly nourishing and life-changing!
