Shunyata, A New Zealand Based Retreat

It has many private spaces (including our amazing yoga deck) to relax and look out at the gorgeous bay and surrounding hills, lovely wild English gardens as well as a spa bathroom, modern kitchen, private bedrooms, treatment rooms, and lounge. At Shunyata you will find uninterrupted vistas of endless ocean, mood-enhancing aromatherapy, holistic harmonizing rituals aimed at reducing stress, and delicious conscious cuisine cooked with love including healthier versions of your favorite dishes. Most of all, all facets of the mind-body approach are experienced to help rediscover your spark mentally & physically and to recentre yourself from your low-level instincts driven by survival to your higher instincts driven by the power of love. Our homes should be a safe, cozy, intimate space, offering a true home for ourselves and our loved ones. When Paru found Shunyata, she felt it brought her home to her true self. She looks forward to sharing this beautiful place with you, to assist your heart in finding its way home. If you have time to explore, there are many stunning coastal walks around Shunyata as well as three volcanic beaches just 10 minutes away. Paru also offers day excursions if you wish to get out and explore the surrounding areas. In the mornings we do yoga and the sessions and maybe a walk and the afternoons are for you to contemplate, write in your journal, sit on the deck overlooking the ocean or take a walk or sometimes we go to the gorgeous beach close by. In the evenings we do a meditation, have dinner, watch an inspirational video, and/or have a gorgeous hydrotherapy bath – but the days are sublime -A balance between doing and being, masculine and feminine.
