Give women in need a life changing break

“I was so broken when I came here, I had no idea how to deal with everything. I can now walk away with strength and forgiveness." (anonymous participant)

Life a Plenty Charitable Trust offers FREE, five-day facilitated retreats for women within the wider Bay of Plenty. When women are referred to us from GP's, counsellors and social services, they’re stressed, exhausted, lack any hope or skills to change their lives and are often struggling financially. Our recuperative retreats provide women in distress a "circuit breaker"; an opportunity to rest, recuperate and attend workshops to gain life-skills, self-care strategies and tools for change.

The demand for our recuperative retreats is growing and we need your help to continue our valuable mahi. Please donate today to help us raise $2,000 towards our next retreat for 8 women and continue to offer our Bay of Plenty wāhine this life changing service.

“In the supportive and peaceful space I could put my life in perspective and refocus. As it is time to leave, the fog is lifting. I am ready to return to the real world with the strength to face my challenges and make changes and say “No”. My soul is nourished and at peace with the world.” (anonymous participant)
