Sacred Sites

The Sacred Sites of Te Moata have been lovingly created by volunteers over many years and offer contemplative spaces to deepen our connection with ourselves and with nature.

Green Tara Circle

We honour the teachings of the Buddhist tradition and the profound essence of Green Tara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion. This sacred circle serves as a reminder of our shared humanity and the importance of extending kindness to ourselves and others.

The Labyrinth

Nestled by a serene stream, this enchanting space is uniquely positioned along a potent energy line that flows through the land, creating an atmosphere ripe for reflection and renewal.

Lavendar Circle

This enchanting area, located near the Centre, is a tranquil oasis surrounded by vibrant lavender bushes and lush tree-ferns.

Puja Point

A sacred haven nestled along the gentle flow of our stream, where nature embraces you in a warm and tranquil embrace. This serene site is designed for those seeking solace and reflection, offering a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Rimu Circle

The Rimu Circle is nestled in the bush and is encircled by the lush foliage of rimu trees, tree ferns and kauri.
