Empowering Experience
May 2 - 7, 2026
ESPIRITU SANTO ISLAND, VANUATU
Just 2.5 hours from Brisbane
An Empowering Experience event is more than just a getaway….
It’s a complete reset of your mind, body, & soul.
It’s an immersion into an ancient South Pacific culture where you’ll rediscover the value of time, connection & community.
It’s an adventure into a stunning natural paradise where you’ll learn to push past your limiting beliefs.
It’s an escape from the outside world and a chance to slow down, let go, and reconnect with your inner self.
It’s an opportunity to redefine your perception of the world.
And finally it’s a roadmap to mastering your disasters, conquering your adversity and ensuring you never let a good disaster go to waste again!
Best of all…
You’ll be guided along your journey by the remarkable Kat Finnerty, expert mentor and nutritionist, best-selling author, international speaker, yoga/pilates instructor, and Master of Disaster!

But remember, this event has strictly limited numbers (12 max). So while it guarantees an intimate, personal experience for the lucky few, it also means many will miss out.

Meet Your Guide/Mentor
Hi, I’m Kat Finnerty
I’m a best-selling author, a yoga, health and wellness instructor, an expert nutritionist, motivational speaker, MS advocate and mum of three. I regularly work as a retreat facilitator/motivator for the Food Matters/Gaia Network, the largest transformational network in the world (2 million+ followers).
When I was 24, I began experiencing the devastating symptoms of multiple sclerosis. I was told I’d probably end up in a wheelchair by the time I was 40. But despite enduring years of debilitating attacks, I managed to reverse nearly all my symptoms and go into long-term remission.
I attribute a large part of this journey to a radical change in mindset. I call it a counterintuitive approach to happiness. Instead of constantly pursuing my wants and desires, I focused on mastering my disasters. This allowed me to shortcut my way back to happiness and break out of my cycle of suffering.
And the good news is, you can do this too, given the right guidance & tools.
My retreats are where the magic happens - they offer you a chance to break free from the daily grind and learn life hacks to reset your brain, bringing more peace, joy, and contentment into your life.
And it all starts with my 12 Principles to become a ‘Master of Disaster’.
“Your past pain is your greatest strength waiting to be unlocked.” — Kat Finnerty
