Description
Kia Ora,
**Please note that our place is alcohol, smoking and drug FREE**We are not a business, but a holistic Centre - we are looking for volunteers and not paid workers**
We are Harideva and Dhara, carers of a Yoga and Meditation centre at the beautiful Motueka valley. This is a peaceful healing place, a safe sanctuary managed by the principles of PROUT. We are part of a movement towards sustainability, co-housing and inner growth.
Harideva is a PROUT activist, a seasoned Yogi and an animal and plants whisperer. Dhara is an experienced yoga teacher (eRYT500), specialised in Trauma sensitive yoga and Tantra based female focused practices.
We will be happy to offer personal and gentle spiritual guidance when requested.
Join us to learn Kiirtan (spiritual chanting), Yoga, Meditation, Yogic diet and cooking, Kaoshikii, Yoga philosophy and other spiritual practices. We are right by the beautiful Motueka River where you can swim and chill.
