New Zealand Adventure Retreat
Drs Jennifer & Simon Floreani
Queenstown, New Zealand
May 29-June 2, 2026
Set in the dramatic alpine landscape of Queenstown, New Zealand, this Wanderlearn retreat is designed for chiropractors who want to step away from routine, reconnect with their work, and deepen their clinical confidence through real-world application. Hosted by Dr. Jen Floreani and Dr. Simon Floreani, the retreat blends intentional adventure with high-quality, hands-on continuing education.
We will stay at the five-star, lakefront The Rees Hotel, offering a quiet, refined home base overlooking Lake Wakatipu and the surrounding mountains. Mornings and select afternoons will be dedicated to 12 hours of continuing education, including philosophy, clinical reasoning, and hands-on technique training that doctors can immediately integrate into practice. Sessions are interactive and practical, with table work, movement-based application, and real clinical context, focused on refining skill, confidence, and intention at the adjusting table.
Between learning sessions, we will experience some of New Zealand’s most iconic outdoor adventures. Activities may include high-speed jet boating through narrow canyons, gondola rides and alpine hikes overlooking Queenstown. Enjoy farm to table meals, global networking, and adventure during this bucket list worthy retreat.
