23 - 26 June 2022: Bodhi Khaya Women's Retreat

‘Reconnect to all aspects of your being and you’ll find wholeness within.’

Join us for Bodhi Khaya’s Women’s Retreat on 23 - 26 June 2022 in the exquisite natural sanctuary of Bodhi Khaya and experience the profound insights, magic and healing that happens when women come together with the aligned intention to reconnect to all parts of themselves.

The last few years have left so many of us feeling stressed, overwhelmed and physically unwell. Being in a continuously elevated stress response wreaks havoc on our nervous system, causing us to shut down and disconnect from our own innate feminine wisdom.

This 3-day retreat is an invitation to reconnect to all parts of yourself and restore your being, held and facilitated by certified Eco Nutritionist, Herbalist and Yoga Teacher, Kate Arnott, Holistic Wellness Coach, Conscious Breathwork Facilitator and Yoga Teacher, Olivia Moon and Intuitive Healing Dance Journey Facilitator, Karen Christian.

We cannot heal and expand from a place of dis-regulation. Using a holistic approach through mind, body and soul-based modalities, this retreat is an opportunity to empower yourself with the tools you need to live a full and vibrant life as your most joyful and authentic self.

Over the 3 days you will be guided through practices that have been formulated to regulate your nervous system, inspire your mind, elevate your soul and promote optimal wellbeing. Learn about the benefits of herbs, medicinal mushroom and adaptogens, autonomic nervous system regulation, breath work practices, gut health, yogic wisdom, how to set soul-led goals, the power of conscious dance and movement and so much more.

Reconnect to nature, nurture your body, expand with your breath and learn to access your intuition so that you can embody your best self and shine your light more brightly into the world.

Your Facilitators:

Kate Arnott

Kate is an Integrative nutritionist who specialised in gut health and stress management. She is an advanced yoga teacher and herbalist, currently furthering her studies in Kinesiology and polyvagal theory. Kate draws on elements of energetic medicine, traditional Ayurvedic and Chinese healing arts to integrate with her scientific understanding of the human body and spirit.

Kate believes in the transformational power of regulating our autonomic nervous systems (especially in this day and age) using tools such as breath, mindfulness, yoga & somatics.

The benefits of shifting our bodies into a ‘ventral vagal state’ (regulated ANS) extend to hormone balance, immune modulation, social engagement and a general sense of well-being.

Olivia Moon

Olivia is a Holistic Wellness Coach, Breathwork facilitator and Resident Yoga teacherat Bodhi Khaya Nature Retreat. She is committed to helping women step into their fullest potential, connect to their purpose, break through self limiting beliefs and align with their highest self.

Olivia believes yoga is about finding the essential balance between yin and yang, sun and moon, masculine and feminine that so easily gets lost in our modern world. By finding balance on our mat, we are able to step into the world more whole, centered and present, and this is the gift that yoga gives us.

Olivia believes that our breath is our connection to the universe, it is the bridge between the spiritual and physical. When we cross this bridge using the breath, we are able to access our true essence, waiting to be expressed.

Karen Christian

Karen is an intuitive Healing Dance Journey Facilitator. She felt the call to her passion, the first time she heard music & set foot on a dancefloor. Many years later, after years in the film, tv, banking & events industries (& a hip replacement!), she decided to actively follow her heart, & went to her first Secret Sunrise Retreat and found her path amongst the majestic mountains of the Drakensburg - and has literally not looked back!

Weaving various healing modalities and wellness practices to a personally curated playlist, bringing you an experiential journey, she holds space for transmutation of stale energy, followed by calling in, integrating, fresh new positive flow.

Karen is a blessed and deeply grateful woman, surrounded by a strong siSTARhood, that is continually feeding her skillset with learning and growing from the journeys we are all on. She loves to move, she loves music, and believes the medicine we seek comes from within.
