UNLIMITED Retreat 2026
From 26th October through to 6th November, 8 SCI athletes came together at NZCIS, in Aotearoa, for 10 days of movement, connection, mindset work and a spiritual top up. Let’s have a look back at what happened, in our photos and in their words.

“Crawling! Didn't know I could do that. ”

"They know exactly where the margins are, so they can press towards the margins. And press you maybe a little over the margin, confidently.”

“I’ve loved being around motivated professionals passionate and capable of changing lives. Especially with likeminded wheelies who are just as determined to improve themselves.”
Catriona Williams, SCI Athlete, on her favourite part of connecting with the UNLIMITED community
“Being around other people with spinal cord injuries has reminded me i’m not alone on this journey and there are lots of people who know what it’s like.”
SCI Athlete
“We had a fortnight of firsts for our athletes; everyone experienced an exercise, movement or feeling they hadn't known since their spinal cord injuries. It was truly incredible to witness the growth and progress of each person over the duration of the retreat, and I think it reinforced the idea for me that a programme like this is needed in Aotearoa.”

“The whānau coaching session was powerful for me. A space created for us as parents and partners to share our experiences, have honest, unfiltered conversations and feel truly understood. No judgement, no explanations needed. Just people who got it.”
