✺ Your mind rarely switches off
✺ You don't remember the last time you truly relaxed
✺ Even when you stop, you're thinking about what needs doing next
✺ You're running on empty, but keep pushing through
✺ You're so used to being busy that you feel guilty when you rest
Every day, you show up for everyone else.
Prana Rise is an opportunity to show up for yourself.
A day to step out of the noise.
A day to slow down.
A day to replenish your energy, clear your mind, and reconnect with yourself.
Prana Rise :~ Kula Muriwai
Saturday | 22nd Aug 2026 | 9:30am to 4:00pm
Imagine leaving behind the constant mental load. The endless decisions. The pressure to keep going. The feeling that you're always "on."
Prana Rise is a nourishing and immersive day designed to bring your system back into balance, physically, mentally, and energetically. A space where you can step away from the demands of everyday life and give yourself permission to slow down.
To breathe more deeply. To rest more fully. To reconnect with yourself.
Through carefully curated practices, spacious integration time, and nourishing support throughout the day, you'll be guided from depletion and overwhelm towards greater clarity, calm, and vitality.
When the body softens and the nervous system settles, energy begins to return, naturally .
You leave feeling:
✺ Clearer in your mind
✺ Lighter in your body
✺ More grounded and present
✺ Deeply nourished and restored
✺ Reconnected to yourself
✺ Resourced for the weeks ahead
“I’d never been on a retreat before and Purnima’s choice of location and the programme was right on point- a perfect antidote to the hectic pace of the day to day. A tranquil and energising place to re-set, nourishment for body and soul, laughter, warmth and connection. I left feeling grateful for the experience and highly recommend to anyone looking to get a bit of balance into your busy life.”

Retreat Guests Reviews
“The retreat weekend was the perfect combination of relax, connecting to others as well as connecting to myself through the yoga and meditation and nourishing moments of saunas, sleeps and massage. I was calm, relaxed, rejuvenated and energised for the rest of the week at work ..... and I'm sure i was much calmer with my family and work colleagues. It has really motivated me and given me a better understanding of how embodiment (through yoga, meditation, walking and movement) really helps with a deeper and more fulfilling relationship with myself.”
— Gemma Dickinson“The retreat with Purnima was everything I wished for. A real treat to learn more yoga and meditation but also discover other holistic practices that benefit mind, body and soul. Purnima was truly a fantastic host with her brilliant knowledge of yoga but also in her natural ability to create a wonderfully relaxed and easy going environment. Thank you for a very special weekend.”
— Olivia Riggal“Loved everything about it. Great range of yoga practice to the meditation ceremony and information about cacao and then the sound bowl journey. Incredibly relaxing and transformative. It feels like the sound bowls calibrate me.”
— Rebecca Davidson“Within you, there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time.”

YOUR RETREAT HOST
Purnima Trasi
Purnima Trasi is a yoga teacher and Ayurvedic wellness coach. Since 2014, she has taught yoga to hundreds of women across India and New Zealand. Over the last six years, her work has deepened into Ayurveda-based support for women through perimenopause and midlife transition.
She has designed the Prana Rise immersive retreat experience to step away from the noise and return to what is essential. Through meaningful connection, spacious reflection, laughter, and honest conversation, women are supported to reconnect with themselves in a grounded and expansive way.
After hosting two sold-out retreats at Kula Muriwai, Purnima brings together her experience in women’s wellbeing to hold a space that is intentional, restorative, and free from performance or pressure.
Prana Rise is a return to clarity, vitality, and presence.
SOUND SCAPE
Cheryl Farthing
With over 20yrs + of yoga teaching and 13yrs immersed in sound healing, Cheryl creates deeply restorative sound journeys using traditional Tibetan bowls, alchemy crystal singing bowls, flute, drums, chimes and other vibrational instruments. Her work blends ancient healing practices with intuitive soundscapes designed to calm the nervous system, restore balance and guide participants into deep rest and presence. Her passion lies in creating immersive experiences that leave people feeling grounded, transformed and deeply connected to themselves.
In our world of constant stimulation, noise, and distraction, the true miracle of sound healing is not what it adds, but what it removes. Sacred sound carries us inward, dissolving the mental clutter and energetic noise until we arrive at what the Yogic sages called inner silence—a space of pure presence, clarity, and deep rest.

Karrin of Ruru Pantry will be our personal chef for the day.
