RISE UP: HEAL with MELLY ROSE and SAMANTHA MAY
5 DAYS • 4 NIGHTS • MANA RETREAT CENTRE
27–31 JANUARY 2027
YOU ASKED. WE DELIVERED.
More time. More depth. More space to unravel, receive, reconnect… and HEAL.
Mana offered us our first ever summer dates!
We said yes. Because there is something that has been nudging us lately and it’s only getting louder.
It’s time to heal.
Not to fix yourself, not to become someone new. But to lay down what you’ve been carrying long enough to remember who you were underneath it.
In a world that keeps asking for more of you, this is your invitation to step out of the noise.
To exhale. To soften. To be held. To nourish your body, quieten your mind, open your heart and let your spirit come back online.
Bring your weary bones. We’ll take it from there.
WELCOME TO HEAL
For five delicious days and four nights, we’re returning to one of the most powerful places we’ve ever been — Mana Retreat Centre in the Coromandel.
And this time, we’re going deeper.
Activations • Group Healings • Sacred Ceremony • Transformational Workshops • Sound Medicine • Movement • Connection • Rest • Laughter • Integration
And of course….Light Language!
Sammy will bathe the space in her signature blend of sacred sound medicine, while Melly and Sammy bring through the teachings, activations and experiences that are asking to meet this group, at this time.
Because we don’t arrive at Mana with every moment mapped out (despite our best efforts!).
We listen to the land. We listen to the room, to spirit, to you.
To whatever wants to emerge when a group of humans becomes brave enough to step into the unknown together.
And after multiple sold-out Rise Up retreats, we’ve learned something…
The magic is always bigger than the plan!
“MANA FELT LIKE MY HEART CRACKED OPEN EVEN WIDER THAN I THOUGHT POSSIBLE.”
“The unconditional love from everyone and nature had me in tears. I have also felt a sense of liberation… after such an intense transmission at the sanctuary.”
— Rise Up Retreat Attendee
THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT MANA…
Maybe it’s the land, maybe it’s the mountains. Maybe it’s the sanctuary. Maybe it’s the moment you realise there is absolutely nowhere else you need to be.
Or maybe it’s all of it.
Mana has a way of pulling you out of the ordinary and into something else entirely. Long conversations, bare feet, big laughs, unexpected tears. Ridiculously delicious vegetarian and vegan food. Moments of absolute stillness. Moments you couldn’t explain if you tried.
And somewhere amongst it all…you begin to hear yourself again. Then we add Rise Up. The sound, the activations, the healing. The weird and wonderful. The unseen. The people.
And that’s when things get interesting.
YOU MIGHT JUST FIND YOUR PEOPLE HERE.
One of the greatest things we’ve created through Rise Up was never actually part of the plan.
A tribe.
People arrive at Mana as strangers and somehow leave feeling like they’ve known each other for years. The masks come off, the armour softens, the conversations get real. And you realise just how hungry you’ve been for connection that doesn’t require you to make yourself smaller.
Every retreat attendee is also invited into our free Rise Up WhatsApp community, where the conversations, friendships and beautiful weirdness continue long after everyone drives back down the Mana hill.
Because we’re not just creating retreats anymore, we’re building a community.
“I DON’T THINK I’VE EVER EXPERIENCED A GROUP OF 30+ PEOPLE SO AUTHENTIC, OPEN AND VULNERABLE.”
“Everyone was so supportive and willing to truly show up as themselves. It was incredibly beautiful and powerful to witness.”
— Rise Up Retreat Attendee
MAYBE THIS IS FOR YOU.
For the ones who have always known there is more, for the ones who can feel something changing but don’t quite have language for it yet. For the ones craving deeper connection. For the ones who have spent years looking for their people. For the ones exhausted from being strong. For the ones ready to receive. For the ones who want more intimacy with life, more abundance, more truth, more aliveness. For the curious, the courageous, the slightly weird, the deeply feeling. The ones who are ready.
And maybe you don’t even know what you’re ready for yet. That’s okay. Sometimes the body knows before the mind catches up.
“THIS RETREAT WAS OUTSTANDING, EXTRAORDINARY, MAGNIFICENT AND MAGICAL.”
“Thank you for holding me, seeing me, allowing me and accepting me for who I am. Thank you for the guidance, the safety and the love.”
— Rise Up Retreat Attendee
YOU WANTED LONGER. SO WE MADE IT LONGER.
Our community kept asking us for more time. This time, you’re getting it! We’ve added an entire extra night, giving us five days and four nights together at Mana. But we’ve decided to keep our Rise Up tuition the same.
You’ll simply cover the additional night of accommodation and meals directly with Mana. And we’ve made the payment structure easier too. You can secure and pay Mana directly for your accommodation and food, while spreading your Rise Up tuition across the months leading up to January.
More time to land, more time to open, more time to integrate, more time together.
Without us adding another night to our tuition.
WE FLY ACROSS THE WORLD FOR THIS.
These days, both of us fly in from overseas to hold our retreats at Mana and we keep doing it for a reason. Because every time we gather there, amazing things happen. People soften, people remember. People finally say the thing they’ve been holding inside. Friendships ignite. Beliefs crack open. There are tears. There is ridiculous laughter. There are moments of profound beauty. There are moments where we all wonder what the hell just happened.
And somehow, every single time…we leave different from how we arrived.
We’re not standing outside of this experience teaching it to you. We’re in it with you.
“I HAVE STRUGGLED WITH SELF-BELIEF ALL MY LIFE.”
“My intention was to shift that, and I feel like this was granted to me. I have a little more belief in myself, and that is already showing in my sessions and in general. I feel so grateful to have been part of such a Unicorn group.”
— Rise Up Retreat Attendee
LEAVE IT AT THE END OF THE DRIVE.
The judgement, the criticism, the expectations. The person you think you’re supposed to be.
Leave it all there.
And come up the hill curious. Come messy. Come excited. Come exhausted. Come nervous. Come completely unsure what you’re walking into.
Just come as you are.
You do not need to be healed to come to HEAL. You don’t need to be spiritual enough, experienced enough, brave enough, awakened enough…anything enough.
You just need to be willing.
FIND OUT WHY PEOPLE DON’T STOP TALKING ABOUT THESE RETREATS.
If you’ve been watching from the sidelines…If you’ve heard the stories, if someone you know came home from Mana glowing and you wondered what on earth happened up there…maybe it’s time to listen. Come dance with us, come laugh with us, come unravel with us, come grow with us, come rest with us. Come heal with us.
