A Weekend Just For You
Because your well-being is worth prioritising. This retreat offers more than just time away – it’s a reset for your body, mind, and nervous system.
Over three days, you’ll be guided through practices that ease stress, restore balance, and reconnect you with yourself. You’ll leave not only deeply rested, but with tools and insights to support lasting calm, clarity, and resilience in your everyday life.
Arrive, Exhale, and Let Go
Step into a weekend of deep restoration at Sudima Christchurch City, where everything is thoughtfully taken care of – from nourishing plant-based meals to soothing yoga, meditation, and gentle guidance.
A highlight of your stay includes our Immersive Gong Bath, a powerful sound healing experience, and a rejuvenating treatment at Moss Spa, the hotel’s serene in-house sanctuary. This is your space to rest, reset, and reconnect with yourself.
Why This Retreat
Because it’s thoughtfully designed to support true, lasting rest. The Art of Deep Rest retreat blends science-backed nervous system practices with soulful, sensory experiences to help you release tension and restore balance.
With nourishing meals, expert guidance, and calming surroundings, this isn’t just a retreat – it’s a full-body reset. Gentle, grounding, and deeply restorative.
An Invitation to Slow Down
Pause. Breathe. Come back to yourself.
This is the time to step away from the noise, to rest your body, calm your mind, and reconnect with what truly matters. To honour your well-being, nourish your nervous system, and make space for stillness.
You don’t need to do more – you just need to allow.
This is your invitation to slow down. This is the time to begin again.
