Venue, Accommodation and Food

Venue

We offer four different workshop spaces varying in size, character and charm.  The spaces provide an ideal environment for retreat participants to pursue self-exploration, growth and re-discover personal peace and wellbeing. Our smallest space seats 1-10 and our largest up to 150.

The Glade provides a unique spiritual setting surrounded by trees and a gentle flowing stream for your special outdoor sacred activities, such as circle dancing, ceremonies, weddings and celebrations.

For visitors in need of a special outdoor sacred space for activities such as circle dancing, ceremonies and celebrations, there is the Glade. Up the path from the main centre,  the Glade offers a unique and spiritual location for our community. Criss-crossed by walkways, Kawai Purapura is connected to the adjacent Council Reserve land with streams and mature native trees, including the magnificent Kahikatea. If you take a walk at dusk, you can enjoy an extraordinary display by the glow worms as the evening begins.

You can unwind or exercise in the 25-metre, non-chlorinated, solar-heated pool during the summer season.

Accommodation

There are shared rooms available during the festival, however these will quickly become booked up.  As a suitbale alternative, we have a lot of space for camping in tents and caravans, which some may prefer.   Whatever you decide, the opportunity to fully emmerse yourself in the like-minded community for the weekend is definitely one you should take.  For those who cannot be without internet over the course of the weekend; there is WiFi available, or a desktop computer available for use. To make sure you are here to embrace the complete range of activities and celebrations, book your accommodation as soon as you can.

Take this weekend off to rest, rejuvenate and deepen your  practice of yoga. Be part of the international community of yoga.

Food

Daniel, Audrey and their two sons, all residents of Kawai Purapura, will be cooking wholefood meals throughout the weekend. They are gourmet cooks with years of experience. A preview of what will be available will be up soon.
