Our vision is to create a healing space wherein people can find their own potential for being well. All our events aim towards well being, self care, education, healing & relaxation. Kawai Purapura offers weekly classes in yoga, dance, drumming and more. Our residential therapists provide a range of treatments that will lift your spirits, relax and revive you. Examples include relaxation massage, reflexology, reiki, Maori healing and bodywork.
Settled among native New Zealand bush, Kawai Purapura also offers myriads of opportunities for ‘self’ time to re-connect with nature, relax or meditate with its bush walks, magical glow worm spots and stream paths. We also offer Raw Food and Juice group retreats several times a year and a new Maori Healing Program beginning in 2016. We also facilitate 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training and 500 Hour Yoga Teacher Training several times a year.
The centre has grown steadily over the past five years, becoming one of New Zealand’s most popular destinations for retreats, conferences and seminars in natural health, environmental awareness and personal development. Our retreat centre is conveniently located an hour from Auckland airport and about a half an hour from Auckland centre – ideal for commuting workshop or seminar participants.
