Sanctuary in Uncertainty
Insight Meditation Retreat with Roger Wilde and Jeremy Logan

​ at Wangapeka Retreat Centre

Tuesday 22 – Sunday 27 September, 2026

Please note: there has been a change of dates

In these unprecedented times of profound change and uncertainty, a new world is emerging. Steady, compassionate presence helps us meet the chaos and pain rather than turn away. With clarity and determination, we can move forward together to build a world grounded in justice, kindness, and shared resources, rather than in greed, hatred, and delusion.

Insight Meditation nurtures our natural capacity to awaken to wisdom and open-heartedness. By tending to our own suffering, we begin to see that our personal welfare and happiness are inseparable from the well-being of all life.

COST: REGISTRATION plus DANA

Wangapeka Members:
Hut or Unit $630
Camping $525

Non-Members:
Hut or Unit $680
Camping $540

This covers comfortable accommodation and delicious vegetarian meals, as well as teachers’ travel.  ​A deposit is required to complete your booking, the remainder due ten days before the retreat.

Dana for the teachers
In keeping with ancient Buddhist tradition, the Dharma teachings are given freely, in the spirit of dana. Dana is a Pali word that means generosity, and this is the foundation attitude for practice. In our modern world, dana may take the form of monetary offering. Participants have an opportunity to offer dana to the teachers at the end of the retreat.

Sangha Support Fund
We keep the retreat registration cost as low as possible, aiming to break even. However, we know that even this basic cost may be unaffordable for people with limited income.  We now have a Sangha Support Fund, which allows some retreatants to pay a subsidized rate. If you need support with costs, please email us, briefly explaining your situation.

Registrations from Overseas
Our intention in offering this retreat is primarily to support the Nelson Insight Meditation community, however we welcome registrations from those living throughout the motu (Aotearoa-New Zealand).

If you live outside Aotearoa, please email us at: insightnelson@gmail.com before filling out this form, as we are not set up to take international payments.
