Exploring Tiwaiwaka and the Whenua o Wangapeka

A Community Retreat.

Friday 7th (5pm) – Sunday 9th (3pm) March 2025

On this weekend you are invited to step into the beautiful surroundings of the Wangapeka, where the land invites you into a space of deep connection and mindful presence. This weekend is a journey of exploration, where we practice walking gently with the earth, observing and listening to the land with compassionate awareness. Through meditation and reflective practice, we’ll cultivate a deeper understanding of the whenua and the Tiwaiwaka principles. Join us in this space of mindful attention, cultivating peace and healing for the land and ourselves.

“All we need to do is go into the forest and it will teach us everything we need to know”
