LABYRINTH RETREAT QUEST 2026 – BECOMING THE VESSEL

✨ *What are you carrying, and what are you ready to let go of?*

Join us for a beautiful 3-night journey of self-discovery, connection and renewal at Te Moata Retreat Centre.

Life often asks us to carry so much – roles, responsibilities, emotions, expectations and stories. This retreat offers a sacred invitation to pause, empty, soften and reconnect with what truly matters.

Through the ancient wisdom of the labyrinth, movement and time in nature, create space to listen, release and become a more intentional vessel for life.

🌸 **During the retreat:**
• Sacred dances to awaken and touch the heart
• A cloaked labyrinth walk
• Time in the stunning Te Moata Labyrinth
• Silent solo time in nature
• Delicious vegetarian meals
• Connection, reflection and shared experiences

🌿 **Facilitation Team**

📍 Te Moata Retreat Centre, Coromandel

💚 **Cost: $565**

There are places we come to gather...and then there are places we come to remember.

The Temple of the Quiet Flame is something I’ve been quietly carrying for a long time, inspired by a similar community I was part of in Canada. A space for women to step away from the noise of the world and reconnect with the deeper rhythm within themselves.

A place where we don't need to have the answers, hold everything together, or be anything other than who we are. A place to tend the inner flame. You know the one.

Join us as we launch the first gathering this Sunday, September 27 from 9:30-11:30am at MoonWillow Manor. RSVP is essential.

The Labyrinth Guild of New Zealand has awakened...over the coming months, the Documentary Project will come alive as I wander the pathways of NZ labyrinths to collect their stories to share with the world.
Here's a peek at a few individual reflections that will be included.

02/09/2026

The Labyrinth Guild NZ opens its circle for the very first time. With over 2 decades of Labyrinth work, it is my passion to awaken, connect and support labyrinth enthusiasts in this beautiful country.

Wherever you are in Aotearoa, you're warmly invited to join us online for an evening of connection, story, and a guided labyrinth walk you can experience right from home.

Last Wednesday of the Month - 7:00pm NZT — one hour on Google Meet

We'll share the vision for the Guild, meet one another, and chat labyrinths!
New to labyrinths? You are especially welcome. No experience needed.

Register or request the Gathering link: www.quietmage.co.nz/lgnz Or comment "walking" below and I'll send it to you.

The labyrinth is not a relic of the past, it's a living practice for our times.

THE ROSE & THE FLAME
A day of feminine wisdom, ritual & remembering
Sunday, September 13 | MoonWillow Manor
$188 | 6 spaces remaining

There are seasons in a woman's life when she simply needs to stop.

Not to fix herself.
Not to become more productive.
Not to hold everyone else together.

Just to pause long enough to hear the quiet voice within again.

Rose & the Flame was created as a sacred day of that kind of remembering.

Inspired by the timeless wisdom of Mary Magdalene ~ as a symbol of devotion, courage, intuition and feminine wisdom, we will gather in a small circle of women for a day of reflection, ritual, sisterhood and reconnection.

This is not a religious retreat.

It is a soulful gathering for women who feel drawn to the sacred feminine, to ancient wisdom, to ritual, and to the quiet knowing that lives within us.

A day to put down what you've been carrying.

To breathe.

To listen.

To remember what matters.

To sit beside the flame of your own inner knowing.

And perhaps, underneath all the roles and responsibilities and expectations...

to remember who you are.

Rose & the Flame
Sunday, September 13
MoonWillow Manor
$188
Only 6 places remain.

If something in you softened while reading this, perhaps this is your invitation.
