A Quiet Day of Meditation & Rest

We offer the peaceful space of Te Whenua as a restful time-out to a limited amount of day guests on the 1st of every month. These one-day retreats are held largely in companionable silence.

Taking a pause from the demands of work and family inclines us to calmness, to clarity, to seeing ourselves in a larger frame of reference, giving us the opportunity to make wiser choices moving forward.

These days are open to all (pre-bookings essential) and numbers are limited to preserve the supportive, tranquil nature of the day. Please arrive from 9.45am, and we will be in restful silence from 10am.

There will be two (optional) guided meditation periods, although you are also welcome to just enjoy the quiet, and to tune into nature and your own inner wisdom. Feel free to use the house and gardens in whatever ways support you at this time whilst being mindful and respectful of the other retreatants.

A simple plant-based lunch is included, and we will end the day with an opportunity for connecting and sharing over a cup of tea from 4.30-5pm.

By clicking RSVP and submitting your details, we will be able to respond to any questions you may have, confirm availability, and we will book you in once you are happy with the details and arrangements. We look forward to hearing from you.

If you wish to stay overnight at Te Whenua on the evening of the retreat this may be possible - please enquire for availability.
