Rewild Self Discovery Expedition - Waitata Bay / Pelorus Sound (5th to 10th March 2026)

🌿 EARLY BIRD TICKETS NOW AVAILABLE! 🌿

This is your invitation to embark on a transformative journey that will awaken the wild within. A chance to reconnect with the parts of you that have been buried or forgotten, and rediscover the essence of who you truly are. Picture yourself in one of the most stunning corners of Aotearoa, Pelorus Sound—a place that will inspire you, challenge you, and hold space for your growth.

This isn’t just a retreat; this is an expedition into the heart of nature—and into yourself.

Over 6 unforgettable days, you will:
🌱 Cultivate Self-Awareness – Reconnect with your truest self, dive into your emotional landscape, and explore the areas of self-discovery and growth that are ready to unfold.
🌿 Push Boundaries – Challenge yourself with thrilling outdoor adventures that test your limits, awaken your courage, and leave you feeling more alive than ever before.
🎨 Express Creatively – Use the wild beauty around you to fuel your creativity. Whether through art, movement, photography or writing, you’ll express what’s deep inside and bring your unique wildness to life.
💫 Reset Mind, Body & Spirit – With guided meditations, somatic practices, and mindfulness, you’ll drop into a space of deep inner peace, healing, and rejuvenation.

Think of it as an adventure that blends the wild spirit of Outward Bound with creative expression, deep reflection, and soul inspiring connection. Rewild is not just about pushing your physical limits—it’s about exploring what’s possible when we reconnect with our most authentic selves.

The Ethos of Rewild is rooted in connection, empowerment, and embodiment. Our aim is to help you start, continue, or return to your journey of self-discovery, with nature as your guide and the community around you as your support. Through creative expression, adventure, and connection to wild nature, we’ll break down old stories, step into new possibilities, and radically change how we view ourselves—and what we are truly capable of.

🌿 What’s Waiting for You:

✨ Reconnect with the Wild – Both the wild around you and the wild within. Feel the earth beneath your feet, dive into crystal-clear waters, and open yourself to the wisdom nature has to offer.
✨ Witness Your Vitality & Fierceness – Through deep connection with others, you’ll see yourself through fresh eyes. Celebrate the strength, beauty, and power that have always been within you.
✨ Explore and Unpack Your Layers – Delve into the emotional landscape you’ve been carrying, and discover the techniques and tools to feel more confident, self-aware, and connected to your sense of self-worth.
✨ Reignite Your Passion & Purpose – Tap into your deepest passions & desires, set new intentions, and reconnect to your body in ways that will bring a deeper sense of fulfilment and alignment.

Waitata Bay Lodge is the magical setting for this immersive 5-day, 4-night adventure. This remote, wild, and sacred location in Pelorus Sound is the perfect backdrop to disconnect from the noise of the world and reconnect with your truest self, nature, and like-minded souls.

But your journey doesn’t start when you arrive in Waitata Bay—it starts now. We’re bringing the journey to you, even before you step foot on the land. Over the next few months, we’ll have 2 live Zoom sessions to help you prepare—customised coaching, somatic practices, guided meditations, and an opportunity to set your intentions for what lies ahead. This prep work will get you ready for the full Rewild immersion in February 2026.
