Te Moata is a purpose-built retreat centre sitting on 344 hectares of pristine native bush in the Coromandel Peninsula of the North Island of New Zealand.
Te Moata hosts a variety of community events and a programme of retreats and residential courses. Over the last 30 years this has included a range of meditation retreats, yoga, Gi Gong and dance retreats, traditional contemplative retreats, Breath-work conferences, Dances of Universal Peace gatherings, Permaculture Design Certificate courses,  Search and Rescue training courses, seasonal celebrations, women’s and men’s gatherings, and personal and professional development groups.
Te Moata is a flourishing sanctuary where we celebrate life, nurture the human spirit and encourage personal responsibility through stewardship of the natural environment.
We provide opportunities for the deepening of well-being through connection with self, community and nature, and a safe haven for native flora and fauna.
We offer this sanctuary for the benefit of generations to come.

I have travelled to many retreat centres around the world and Te Moata is a priceless jewel. When I teach here, I often feel that the true teacher is the land with its lush beauty – the native bush and birds with their melodious songs; the maze of paths, stairs and ropes that lead to mysterious spaces and faraway huts; the ever running lively stream deep in the valley; the sacred labyrinth that calls for our prayers. I love the simplicity of the lifestyle and how Te Moata invites me to slow down and breathe. It is truly a place of retreat, inviting each of us who goes there to listen to something deep within our being that we are all longing to hear.
