We suggest considering booking your flight to Auckland International Airport (AKL), and later departing from Christchurch International Airport (CHC).

From our research, it appears that there are direct flights to Auckland from Los Angeles (LAX), San Francisco (SFO), Houston (IAH), New York and Honolulu.

In your confirmation email we will also provide the name of a travel concierge who can help you plan your travel, and also assist with travel insurance. Spherical Luminosity does not make any money from this recommendation. It's provided simply to create ease for your travel.

Flights and transportation arriving to and departing from the retreat, meaning outside of the retreat start and finish.

All lunches and most dinners are not included (All breakfasts, welcome, Aoraki and final celebration dinner are included). A daily budget of $65- $100 NZD (or roughly $43-$65) USD should be plenty (unless you eat only at fine dining establishments).

Any hotel stays before or after the nights of Sept 28 through October 9th. 

Please note that we're beginning in Auckland in the North Island and you would be departing from Christchurch on the South Island on October 10 or later.

Once you register, in your confirmation email you'll receive more detailed information on where to arrive, how the arrival logistics work, etc. At the event you'll receive restaurant recommendations, too, for any meals that are not included!

You will probably not be required to obtain an actual entry visa. See the official NZ site to determine your country's status.

You're required to have a passport that's valid for at least 3 months beyond your departure date.

You’re also required to have a NZeTA (New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority), which you will need to be able to board your plane to NZ. This must be acquired online, BEFORE traveling. It can take up to 72 hours to process.

We'll provide a link in your confirmation email for you to purchase it directly online. It's currently $117 NZD for the visa (which at the time of writing this page is roughly $78 USD).

We suggest arriving at least 1 day prior to the retreat start date of September 28, to allow yourself to rest and to start to adapt to the time difference.

Two days prior would be even better.

One thing to be aware of, if you're flying from North America, the UK or the EU, please remember that New Zealand is ahead in time so you'll lose a day when you fly (meaning you'll arrive a day later than just the flight time).

For example if you leave on Friday evening from the West Coast of the US or Canada, you'll likely arrive on the Sunday local time.

Registration opens at 1:30pm on Monday, September 28. The event begins Monday at 2pm (local time).

Any time from October 10th onwards.

All hotels will be either 4-star or 5-star, with the exception of Aoraki (Mt. Cook) where lodging is extremely limited. At Aoraki we'll be staying in a nice motel (which are more common in NZ than in most other places) for 2 nights.

New Zealand is in the southern hemisphere so their seasons are opposite to the northern hemisphere.

When we’re there at the end of September/beginning of October, they’ll just be exiting their Winter and moving into Spring.

In the North Island, it will be warmer than the South Island.

Daytime temperatures are typically between 14 C - 18 C (for Americans that's between approx 57 F to 65 F).  But nighttime temperature will feel chilly at 7 C - 11 C (45 F – 52 F).

In the South Island, it’s colder.

Daytime temperatures are typically between 10 C - 18 C (50 F to 65 F).  But nighttime will feel cold, probably 4 C - 7 C (39 F - 45 F).

A budget of $65-$100 NZD (roughly $43-$65 USD) per day per person should be ample, unless you're determined to eat only at fine dining establishments.

Yes it's easy to find vegan options in New Zealand!

Yes! Karen will be giving an Emergence: The Accelerated Mastermind Experience® for a limited number of people.

The registration link for the Emergence Experience will be in your confirmation email.

As always, it is first come, first served.

Our suggestion is not to, because it likely will not be that fun for them! They won't be participating in any part of the retreat including any of the GFCs, the bus we're on, the internal flight, nor any of the private tours that we'll be on and they'll need to make their own accommodation reservations.

Yes, but please note that a retreat like this can be a pretty intense experience. There is a tremendous amount of acceleration, and depending on who you are, you may experience heavier detox as a result.

The amount of change that people experience with frequency work at this level of resonance is typically quite high, and not necessarily in a predictable way. Most people are looking for that, but for some, that may be challenging. 

No. There are too many places where the the connectivity is unreliable, the timing is unknown and there's too big of a time difference.

Unpolished replays — assuming the technology cooperates — will be provided exclusively to live retreat participants. We're not going to be selling them after-the-fact.
