Full Circle Waiheke

Full Circle was created from a love of yurts but also from a deep love and appreciation of nature and connection. 🌱 A circle has no end, we envisage Full Circle to be ever evolving so if you choose please follow along to see what the next cycle brings. Blessings, Sarah

NEWS! ✨As a family we are moving from Waiheke island for new adventures out of Auckland.✨
We manifested our long held vision of having yurts 6 years ago. Living in our yurts was an enriching experience for our family, and the memories made will be treasured and to share the yurts with guests has been a joy. Our wish was for our guests to feel nurtured by the round shape of the yurts and to experience a slowing down and grounding by connecting with nature - back to nature back to self.

The appreciation we have received from guests has cemented that our wish was granted. We are grateful to all those that came to stay, we loved having you. 💕

Change is on the horizon for Full Circle.. 🌈

Reminder: Be true to yourself. Even Though sometimes it's hard, take time to be true to yourself. Give it time, open up. Never apologize for being true to yourself 💕

We have a new and improved pizza oven and we love it. 🙃🍕Of Course we had to try it. Woodfired pizza is good anytime of the year and in the cooler months the fire keeps you warm and toasty whilst your pizza cooks. 🙃🍕

Matariki Mystery..✨ In Maori, Matariki means 'tiny eyes' or 'eyes of God'. The children of the earth mother Papatuanuku and sky father, Ranginui, were divided over whether to separate them and bring light and life to the earth. ✨

Matariki is a time of renewal and an opportunity to reflect on who we are at this moment in time, and build connections with our whanau. ☀

This is so special! 💕 At the end of this month we are more than grateful to receive our 3rd time guests in our yurts. It feels good to welcome regulars to our yurts, welcome home Emily and family!💕

In a few weeks it will be school holidays! What have you planned with your family?🧐
Waiheke Island is known for its vineyards, but it's a great place to visit with the whole family! Here are a few tips:

🎯Play archery at Wild On Waiheke
🎭Check what's on at the theatre Artworks Community Theatre
🔥Make your way down to The HEKE where the fire is burning and the games are ready to play
🎬Enjoy a movie at the local cinema
🌊 There so many beaches to enjoy! You might be lucky and see dolphins!

With many things in life ostensibly out of our control, it is easy to consider our fate as being determined by external factors 🧐

However, consider times when instead of being driven by extraneous forces, you have felt in complete control of your actions – the master of your destiny!⚡

The positive emotions that accompany such experiences can create such a sense of escapism, exhilaration, and enjoyment that it becomes a marker for how life can be.💛

This is what is meant by optimal experience or flow state – the subjective state in which a person functions at his or her fullest capacity with their attention so focused on a task, that factors such as fatigue and boredom do not interfere; the experience itself is so enjoyable that people will participate for the sheer sake of doing it (Csikszentmihalyi, 1990).

We are grateful to say we hosted our first gathering in our yurts at Full Circle. ✨

When we host a retreat inside the yurts we take all the furniture out and it becomes a beautiful round open space. The space created is very suitable for gatherings of all kinds. Please get in touch with Sarah for more information! We'd love to see you here. 🙏

Stepping away into another oasis. Matapouri Glamping experience at the Tutukaka coast. Thank you for having us, Guy and Sandra Bowden. It was truly a beautiful stay, we couldn't ask for more.

We are always evolving and like the enso circle used in our logo this flow of evolution is continuous.. We are now at a new stage of this evolution at Full Circle.
💫
We’ve come from the yurts being a home to a unique destination to stay to a place to gather. The knowledge of our evolution can often be overlooked in the speed of our lives so we need to slow down to acknowledge it.

📍📸 Villas Waiheke

It is such a gift to be in nature. 💚

Nature asks you to come to stillness and to consciously gather your senses so that you may witness the energy of precious life taking place around you, this life that you are connected to and a part of. Nature will hold you and we need to hold it in return. ✨

Staying in a yurt has you merging with nature as only canvas separates you. Listen at night to the ruru call and the Tui, always the last to bed and first up. 🌱 Light the outdoor fire for the evening and on a clear night enjoy an incredible starry sky.
Take time to wander the bush below the yurts and experience being in the presence of some majestic old trees.

Enjoy peace and quiet in the olive grove, watch the sunset over the vines or take yourself down to Onetangi Beach (a 5 minute drive) to enjoy an ocean swim or just to stand with sand between your toes.💙 🌊

Venture by bike or by foot and discover the many beautiful places of Waiheke Island. Get in touch to learn more about staying at Full Circle. 🙌

How good would it feel to have the time and space to connect? ✨🌱

Reconnect with your friends or family and enjoy magical golden sunsets over the vines. Escape for the weekend to the Onetangi Valley: Slow down, you’re here! 😘

Create memories forever. 🙌

A women's circle is a gathering where a container of safety and acceptance is facilitated. 💛
It is co creation by all present, a holding of space where women can open to their inner voice, speak their wisdom, to feel seen, heard and held. ✨
