Dear friends, you’re invited to attend an upcoming retreat weekend at the beautiful Aio Wira Retreat Centre in the Waitakere Ranges. It’s a lovely, quiet space surrounded by native forest and located only 10 minutes from Bethells Beach and the coastline trails. The overnight weekend stay will cover a wide range of lifestyle positives: meditation skills; music and mantras to still the mind; vegan and vegetarian food; fitness guidelines from our health pros; trail walks and jogs on the Te Henga trail and around Lake Wainamu; and time out on the nearby beaches.

The course itself is free, however the venue needs to charge for and cover accommodation costs and veg meals, both of which are relatively inexpensive. Accommodation is in very comfortable bunk rooms (4 people) and smaller units for one, two or three persons. We will confirm accommodation and food costs once we have final numbers, but it’s a very inexpensive and popular weekend.This retreat requires that you have first attended one of our introductory courses also listed here, as it assumes some familiarity with our various meditation guidelines. The Aio Wira retreat is also a stage 2 level, especially suited to those wanting to advance further and explore a spiritual lifestyle. For all enquiries, call/text Jogyata: 0221 887 432, or email: jogyata@slingshot.co.nz.

Hoping to see you at one of the upcoming courses!
