Theme Rains, the founder of skincare brand Synthesis Organics, will host a seven-day retreat at the Aro Hā Wellness Retreat in New Zealand.

Running between 24 and 30 May, the Revive and Thrive programme will see Rains teaching practices such as somatic awareness, energetic coherence exercises and aromatic journeys.

The different activities have been curated to quiet internal mental noise and strengthen the mind-body connection for realignment. They draw on Rains’ experience in holistic health, psychotherapy, aromatherapy and bioenergetic skincare.

Aro Hā, which is known for its comprehensive rejuvenation programmes, will provide plant-based cuisine, mountain hikes, mindful movement and the setting for deep relaxation. There will also be breathwork, contrast hydrotherapy and guests will have a massage on each full day of the retreat.

Rains told Spa Business: “Long before Synthesis Organics, I was a facilitator – leading retreats, holding space and learning from the land. Being invited back into that world, at Aro-Hā of all places, feels like coming full circle. 

“I was fortunate to experience Aro-Hā last year and it's such an honour to be invited back to contribute to this upcoming retreat,” added Rains. “Together we'll be exploring ways to reconnect with the intelligence of our body and heart and deepen the embodiment of our true essence in one of the most breathtaking and nature-nourishing locations in the world.”

The six-night retreat will accommodate a maximum of 20 guests and cost NZ$8,495 (US$5,100, €4,700, £4,000) per person in an eco single room or NZ$9,475 (US$5,700, €5,200, £4,500) per person for an eco king room.

Each booking includes a Synthesis Organics Skincare Longevity Essentials gift bag, which is valued at AUS$299 (US$194, €179, £153).
