Let’s face it, the events of the last two years have been anything but pleasant. Many have fallen into the depths of emotional despair, weighed down with self doubt, uncertainty and forgotten self worth. While others have been able to claw their way out, often times on their hands and knees to the place of freedom, joy and love that they stand in today. And then there are those who breezed through this entire period with ease, flow, dignity, grace and poise.

Where do you sit in all of this? What has been your experience? How would you like to grow?

No longer can we be talking only about post traumatic stress. It’s time we also talk about post traumatic healing and post traumatic growth.

Imagine a world where you can heal without losing who you are.

If you are ready to finally gain clarity with an in depth understanding of how to cultivate self love. If you are ready to live a courageous life where low self esteem is replaced by knowing your true self worth. If you are ready to hit your transformation goals and create lasting change in your life and reignite your personal power, then, we invite you to join us for the Ziva Life Collective Retreat in February and October 2022.

The Ziva Life Collective Retreat is a space for transformational change to actualise your highest and best self. The women-only experience is a space as much for unlearning as learning; a unique opportunity for a deep personal encounter with yourself, removed from the stress and concerns of everyday life.

An intimate, boutique experience, the Ziva Life Collective Retreat gathers 16 ‘Zivas’ at the beautiful Bundarra Farm in Berry, just two hours drive from Sydney. The nourishing weekend brims with sumptuous food, gorgeous wine, powerful activations, breathwork, practical learnings and collective embodiment, all a stone’s throw from the stunning Seven Mile Beach.

Facilitated by Pauline Nguyen and Dr Maria Zuschmann, the retreat combines science and spirituality, drawing on ancient modalities as well as the most recent neuroscience and research. The Ziva Life Collective Retreat has been honed and refined over the last six years to facilitate rapid change and self-actualisation, enabling each woman to slash her limiting beliefs and unleash latent genius, stepping into a life of design and power.

A large percentage of ‘Zivas’ are repeat participants; an alumni of women who have joined Pauline and Dr M’s orbit and continue to relish the transformation it has brought to their lives.
