The Experience.
Awaken is a three-day immersive workshop for leaders, business owners, and individuals ready to pause, reflect, and reconnect - with themselves, with others, and with what truly matters.
Set in nature, this experience creates the space and stillness needed to regain perspective and rediscover vitality. It’s an opportunity to step outside the constant pace of modern life, breathe again, and remember what’s important.
Through dialogue, reflection, and shared experience, Awaken helps participants see themselves and their work with new eyes.
It’s not about learning more - it’s about noticing more.
Because regeneration begins the moment we notice.
Awaken isn’t a course. It’s a reset - a deep exhale for busy, purposeful people.
What to Expect.
Over three transformative days, you’ll explore the foundations of regenerative leadership through a blend of guided reflection, group dialogue, and nature-based experience.
Each day builds on the last - opening awareness, expanding perspective, and reconnecting energy, purpose, and presence.
You’ll leave with:
-
A renewed sense of clarity and focus.
-
Greater awareness of how you use your time, energy, and attention.
-
Deeper connection to what truly drives you — beyond roles or responsibilities.
-
Practical ways to sustain balance, presence, and renewal in daily life.
Why It Matters.
We live in a world of speed, noise, and relentless activity.
Awaken is an antidote to that.
It’s an invitation to slow down long enough to hear what your own life is trying to tell you - and to rediscover the quiet confidence that comes from being fully present and aligned.
Whether you come on your own, alongside a colleague, or as a small group of leaders and clients, this experience creates a shared language for authenticity, courage, and renewal — qualities that shape the way we live, lead, and relate.
Awaken reconnects performance with purpose, success with stillness, and leadership with life.
Align.
Stage Two of the NyZeal Purpose Pathway
Where awareness meets purpose -
and presence becomes practice
The Experience.
Building on the foundations of Awaken, Align is an immersive wilderness journey - a four-to-five day expedition-style experience that takes the principles of regenerative leadership into the wild.
Here, the mountains, rivers, and elements become both the classroom and the mirror.
This is where the learning deepens - where we move from reflection to application, and from
insight to embodied understanding.
Participants will hike, reflect, and live simply in nature - stepping into a rhythm that balances
physical challenge with stillness, simplicity, and presence.
Align is not about endurance. It’s about awareness. About rediscovering how to lead, live, and relate in tune with the natural systems we are part of.
In Align, nature doesn’t just inspire the learning - it leads it.
What to Expect.
Over four to five days, you’ll journey through wild landscapes, supported by facilitated reflection,
group dialogue, and regenerative practice.
Each day combines time on the trail with guided discussions, solo reflection, and shared insights
around the fire.
Through this rhythm of movement and stillness, challenge and rest, simplicity and depth, Align helps participants re-find coherence between purpose, direction, and presence.
You’ll leave with:
-
A deeper connection to purpose and a lived understanding of regenerative leadership.
-
Renewed energy, vitality, and balance.
-
Clarity around what alignment looks and feels like in your life and work.
-
Tools to sustain connection, focus, and renewal beyond the experience.
It’s not about escaping the world - it’s about returning to it differently.
Why It Matters.
We cannot lead regeneratively if we are disconnected from the living world that sustains us.
Align reawakens that connection — through direct, grounded experience in nature.
It’s a journey of purpose, humility, and perspective; a reminder that we belong to something larger, and that our leadership must reflect that.
For many, this becomes one of the most transformative chapters of the NyZeal journey - a return to simplicity, to self, and to meaning.
When we align with nature, we align with life itself.
Who It’s For.
-
Graduates of Awaken seeking deeper integration of regenerative principles.
-
Leaders, entrepreneurs, and changemakers craving renewal and perspective.
-
Those ready to explore leadership and purpose through experience, not theory.
-
Anyone longing for simplicity, connection, and meaning beyond the everyday.
Core Themes
-
Nature as Teacher – learning directly from natural systems, rhythm, and pattern.
-
Embodied Awareness – translating insight into lived experience.
-
Regenerative Practice – exploring balance, reciprocity, and renewal
. -
Purpose in Action – aligning daily choices with what truly matters.
-
Leadership in Simplicity – discovering how much strength lies in stillness.
The Setting
Set in remote and awe-inspiring landscapes - most often the Norwegian highlands or similar
wilderness environments - Align is lived outdoors.
We travel lightly, eat simply, and live consciously.
Nature is no longer a backdrop - it’s the guide, the metaphor, and the measure.
Each day unfolds in rhythm with the land and weather — an invitation to slow down, listen, and let nature’s intelligence reshape our own.
In simplicity, we find clarity. In wildness, we find wisdom.
The Journey Ahead
Align is the second step of the NyZeal Purpose Pathway — following Awaken and paving the way for Arise, the culminating expedition and integration experience in New Zealand.
Dates and details for Align will be released soon.
Spaces will be intentionally limited to preserve depth, intimacy, and shared experience

Align - where reflection becomes movement, awareness becomes action, and nature becomes the guide.
Arise.
Stage Three of the NyZeal Purpose Pathway
Where purpose meets adventure
- and renewal becomes a way of life.
The Experience.
Arise is the culmination of the NyZeal Purpose Pathway — an extraordinary seven to ten day
wilderness experience set in Aotearoa New Zealand, the homeland that inspired it all.
This is more than a retreat. It’s a return - to self, to nature, and to the spirit of adventure that gave birth to both NewZeal and NyZeal.
Hosted and guided personally by Paul Nicholson and Calum Revfem, Arise weaves together reflection, movement, and adventure into a once-in-a-lifetime journey through some of the most breathtaking landscapes on earth.
It’s a regenerative adventure that blends the beauty of nature, the power of challenge, and the clarity of purpose into a single, unforgettable experience.
Arise is where the journey comes full circle -home to where it all began.
What to Expect.
Over seven to ten transformative days, you’ll live, move, and learn immersed in the heart of New
Zealand’s wilderness - surrounded by mountains, rivers, and forests that mirror the essence of the NyZeal philosophy.
The experience combines:
-
Guided adventure – hiking, rafting, and journeying through pristine wilderness.
-
Reflection and dialogue – daily regenerative conversations around purpose, presence, and leadership.
-
Immersion in stillness – quiet moments by the fire, morning reflections, and the sound of the river.
-
Shared community – deep connection with like-minded people walking a similar path.
This is not about pushing limits for the sake of achievement. It’s about rediscovering strength through stillness, purpose through simplicity, and connection through shared experience.
Adventure becomes the teacher. Nature becomes the guide. You become the lesson.
Why It Matters.
Arise is a journey for those ready to bring everything together - awareness, alignment, and action - and to live fully from that place.
It’s for those who sense that leadership and life are not separate, and that purpose is something to be lived, not spoken.
This experience will change the way you see yourself, others, and the world.
It will challenge you, inspire you, and reconnect you with what it means to feel truly alive.
Because regeneration begins within - and ripples outward into everything we touch.
Who It’s For.
-
Graduates of Awaken and Align ready for full immersion and integration.
-
Leaders, adventurers, and seekers of meaning and vitality.
-
Individuals wanting a transformative experience of nature, challenge, and reflection.
-
Those ready to reawaken their courage, clarity, and connection.
The Learning
Throughout Arise, the principles of regenerative leadership are lived, not taught.
You’ll explore:
-
Resilience and Presence – how stillness strengthens action.
-
Connection and Trust – with self, others, and the environment.
-
Courage and Authenticity – finding truth in vulnerability and challenge.
-
Purpose in Motion – leading from clarity, not control.
-
Regenerative Living – bringing renewal and awareness into daily life.
Arise is where awareness becomes embodiment - and embodiment becomes transformation.
The Setting
Arise is hosted in the South Island of New Zealand - based initially on Paul’s riverside property in Hawea, where participants glamp in beautiful Nordic tipis overlooking the Hawea River.
From there, the journey moves into a multi-day wilderness expedition - a blend of rafting, hiking, and exploration through ancient rainforest and wild river valleys.
Days are spent moving lightly through extraordinary landscapes; nights are spent in conversation, reflection, and rest beneath the stars.
All safety and logistics are managed through Paul’s New Zealand adventure business, ensuring the highest standards of care and professionalism.
You will be held by nature, guided by experience, and inspired by a landscape that changes people.
The Journey Ahead
Arise is the final stage of the NyZeal Purpose Pathway - where everything learned and lived across Awaken and Align converges into full expression.
Dates and registrations open soon for the first Arise experiences in Aotearoa New Zealand – 2026.
Spaces will be intentionally limited to maintain depth, connection, and safety.
