Women's Retreat, 8 - 11 March 2023

Burn Support Group wishes to sincerely thank Castaways Resort staff for the wonderful, continued support offered to this invaluable event.
2023 was a tremendous success with 70% new ladies attending mixing and mingling creating a wonderful environment for all.

This inspiring group of ladies laughed, cried, chatted and shared their individual journeys.

With the amazing support of many who provided workshops, activities and pampering, everyone absolutely enjoyed the company creating strong foundations for lifelong relationships.

It was a pleasure to host Trina Blazely who made the trip from Tasmania to connect with the Kiwis over four days.

Retreat will be available again for March 2024.  As the popularity 
of this event has increased, we do advise returning registration forms as soon as possible.
