Whetū, Raglan Notes from the field Derived from the Indigenous peoples Te reo Maori name for the stars which guided and navigated the people of Tainui Waka for centuries, Whetū can be seen on clear nights from Whaingaroa Te Moana all the way to Karioi Te Maunga. A symbol of the relationship between the people and the land, Whetū has always been part of our journey, wherever we are.
“An ancient remedy for modern times. We provide 9-5ers, creatives and dreamers a place to define yourselves beyond your desks... Aside from the elegant simplicity of these retreats, the ethos behind them is equally as engaging. Some text from their website encapsulates it all, “An ancient remedy for modern times. We provide 9-5ers, creatives and dreamers a place to define yourselves beyond your desks. Our unique locations give easy access to the wild, so that getting lost in nature becomes as natural as getting stuck on your feed.” Company spokesman Julian Rapattoni, Head of Global Operations, expanded on that statement explaining Unyoked’s core purpose. “Nowadays we all lead increasingly busy lives. We get so caught up in the day-to-day of juggling work commitments that we lose perspective. We forget to live. It’s commonly known that modern day living comes hand-in hand with mental fatigue and low productivity. Numerous scientific studies have shown spending an extended period of time in nature is the perfect antidote. “Unyoked was created to help us all understand how nature can make us better and allow us to weave it into our lives easily, and regularly. The cabins came second; nature was first. Everything we do is to help our people kickstart a nature habit, one built on understanding how- and whenit can help them personally.” To that end, Unyoked have curated a super select range of high-quality nature experiences to help people relax, rest and release. So selective are they that they have reportedly said no to many more locations than they have said yes to. Julian elaborated on this statement. “We search until the most unique and unyoked landscapes have been found. We want our guests to truly relax. Most of us have a busy, noisy, always-on life in the city. So, we aim to get people out into nature where there’s no interruptions. We want to provide an environment where our guests can reset their expectations and get some regular perspective thanks to the vastness of the outdoors and ‘release’ by way of giving them a change of scenery. Nobody ever comes up with great ideas staring at the same four walls. So, we get them out there, so they can be inspired and finally get the space to start that big creative project, whether it’s work, relationship or personal.” Wise words indeed, in fact the Unyoked website reaffirms the science behind this approach. 71 / #55 / <strong>SB</strong>
