Aroha Health & Breath By Choice presents
Women.Returning Home Retreat
March 14-16 2025 | Sunshine Coast, Queensland
It's time to make yourself the main character in your story
"I don't know who I am anymore". We've heard it countless times and felt it many more.
You want to live a life that is fulfilling, connected and authentic to all that you're meant to be.
But right now, you're feeling:
- Overwhelmed with countless "to do" lists that leave your needs & desires at the bottom
- Focused on helping everyone else get to where they need to be
- Too time poor to make any kind of real change in your life
- Afraid that if you step back, the tower of cards will all come tumbling down
We've been there... and we've moved through it. The good news is, you can too.
100% of our retreat guests would recommend Women.Returning Home to their best friends, based on feedback forms.
Let us help guide you home to your true essence.
Empowered.
Clear in self identity.
Connected with yourself & with others.
Stronger than ever before.
The Women.Returning Home retreat will lovingly support you as you:
- Rediscover who you are at your core
- Reconnect with your purpose
- Shut down the inside imposter voice
- Claim you worth and your strength
- Redefine your role in the family
- Find your voice in your own values and boundaries
- Reclaim your power and gifts to the world
- Release control and allow yourself to be taken care of.
- Speak your mind without fear of judgement
- Be courageous enough to claim space, for you, to be seen, to be heard, to be cared for.
Are you ready to step into the next chapter? It's your time.
"By far one of the best retreats I've been too, you will be in the safest loving arms I know and will definitely come home a different version of yourself!"
