Step Away to Grow

Sometimes the best way to grow — both professionally and personally — is to step away from the day-to-day and immerse yourself in something new. Our Women in Business.World Retreats are intentional escapes designed to help you reconnect with yourself, build deeper bonds with other women, and return home with renewed energy, ideas, and purpose. These are not just holidays. They are experiences that combine connection, learning, and rejuvenation in some of the most inspiring settings.

Weekend Retreats – NZ and Local Getaways

Our local retreats offer a short yet powerful reset. Over one weekend, you will enjoy a carefully balanced mix of relaxation, adventure, and meaningful conversation, including:

Inspiring conversations with like-minded women

Adventure activities such as rafting, mountain hikes, or sunrise swims

Evening fireside chats filled with laughter and connection

These getaways give you the space to recharge and the freedom to simply be yourself — away from roles, responsibilities, and business demands.

Overseas Retreats – One-Week Adventures

Our overseas retreats combine deep connection, cultural experiences, and unforgettable adventures. Designed for professional women, they offer a break that is both enriching and fun. Each trip includes:

Morning yoga and guided mindfulness

Leisure time with cocktails by the pool

Spa treatments to unwind and recharge

Bucket-list adventures such as mountain climbs, boat trips and cultural excursions

Downtime to relax, read, journal or enjoy the pool

Opportunities to build lifelong friendships with inspiring women from our community

Otaki 4th - 6th September 2026

Fully Booked

 Grace Whenua Chalets | Limited to 10 women

Step away from the noise, reconnect with yourself, and immerse in a weekend designed to nourish your mind, body, creativity and calm. Our Ōtaki Retreat is an intimate, restorative experience crafted exclusively for women who give so much to their work, families, communities – and are ready to refill their own cup.

Hosted at the beautiful Grace Whenua Chalets, this retreat blends wellness, creativity, connection and spaciousness. Every woman has her own private bedroom, and meals are thoughtfully prepared ahead of time so you can relax — with one special twist. Part of the experience is coming together in the gorgeous indoor or large outdoor kitchen to add the final touches, like cooking the meat and sharing the joy of creating a meal as a group.

Future-Focused: Working Retreats with Purpose

As we grow, we are developing working retreats where members can use their skills to make a positive impact. These experiences will involve travelling to communities where women face cultural or systemic barriers to independence or entrepreneurship. Participants may:

Run local workshops

Offer mentorship and confidence-building support

Introduce practical small business tools

Share stories and learn from the women in these regions

Our goal is to use our collective knowledge and privilege to empower and uplift women while fostering mutual learning and cultural exchange.
