Winter Rest & Reconnect Retreat
July 25th - 27th, 2025
Curraweena House, Kurrajong Blue Mountains, NSW
A whole weekend of slowing down, switching off and deeply resting.
In the fast pace and hustle of day to day - we have come to lose our connection to natures rhythm and slowing down enough to actually hear our own inner self.
Winter is a time to turn inwards, to rest deeply, reconnect to our bodies and begin to lay down fertile soil to plant new intentions and dreams.
This weekend retreat away is an intentional pause button on all the life things we "have" to do, leaving the to do lists, the mundane tasks & giving outwards to others so you can truly give back to your yourself. An invitation to truly honour the woman underneath all the hats and roles and feel safe to let her soften and allow her to be taken care of, tended to, soothed, cooked for and lovingly held.
Allow me to whisk you away to the beautiful Blue Mountains where you can completely soak in the magic and healing of mama nature and let your hair down, take off all the hats and find JOY in the simple things again.
1/1
A whole weekend of no cooking, cleaning, to do lists or obligations to another...
What's the vibes of this weekend retreat?
Relaxing. Intentional. Slow. Joyful. Transformative.
Every part of this Retreat experience is intentionally curated to gently allow you to reconnect to your body so you can honour its' needs all weekend. This will be two nights and three days of wholesome "you" time.
No obligation to anyone else.
Nowhere else to be.
Nothing else to do.
This is a weekend where the only obligation there is the one to yourself. A whole weekend where you only have to think of you and... YOU.
There will be a beautiful blend of creating space for you to deeply rest, intentionally move, belly laugh, release so you can melt even deeper in to your body and enjoy spaciousness to give energy to what you desire.
This weekend isn't about how much you can DO but inviting you to ponder how much can you BE this weekend...
Be held...
Be seen...
Be where your feet are..
Be in the conversations..
Be in the stillness and quiet..
Be in nature..
Be in your body..
Be human...

Let's answer some questions you might be wondering..
Are there payment plan options?
Yes! You can use the payment options at checkout of Afterpay, Klarna or Zip pay. You can also opt for the option to pay the deposit and then pay the remining amount by date confirmed in your confirmation email.
I am coming alone, is that okay?
Absolutely! Majority of our guests come alone and within minutes of arriving they feel the nerves melt away because the women who come along are truly YOUR people. These experiences are also small and intimate and so you don't get overwhelmed with a large group. We also have a group chat created before retreat with all the guests to connect and get to know each other beforehand. The beauty of coming alone is you truly get to be immersed in only thinking of yourself and your own needs.
Is food & drinks included?
Definitely! All meals, snacks, drinks, wines, teas & nibblies are included in your retreat experience and included in the price. We absolutely love food & so you will not go hungry! Feel free to bring anything in particular if you would like, otherwise come ready to enjoy. There is meat served at these retreats while also catering to vegetarian options. Please advise of any allergies upon booking so we can note this down.
Will I get a refund if I can't attend last minute?
There are no refunds. I know sometimes life just happens and so you are able to transfer your spot to someone else and if so must let Florence know with as much time as possible.
Did you have any other questions?
Please email Florence at katoacollection@gmail.com
About your host
Mumma. Wife. Yoga & Meditation Teacher. Deep Rest Facilitator. Sound healing. Space holder.
And above all, human.
My name is Florence
& yes, my middle name is actually Nightingale..
Over ten years ago I walked into the forest of self discovery and have been wandering in there ever since. I have found many trails that have led me to so many beautiful experiences. Some of favourite and most potent ones being Yoga, Meditation & Psychology.
After years of going to countless classes, workshops & retreats - I noticed I never saw another Tongan woman in them let alone teaching the classes - and so I decided to become the first.
These Retreats have been created to blend all these worlds together and share them with women & mothers so the benefits that I have experienced can ripple into their families and homes. A welcoming and down to earth space for women to feel safe to come as they are & receive deep rest, connection & pause.
