Working in Nature retreat
Giving back to the land
Our working in nature weekends offer an opportunity to engage with the track maintenance on the land at Sudarshanaloka in a playful, meaningful, and effective way. In addition, they offer an enjoyable way to spend time with other like-minded people who enjoy contributing back to the land.
These weekends also contribute to the Suvana (beautiful forest) project launched in 2023 to protect the flora and fauna and strengthen the biodiversity of this little bit of Aotearoa over which we have guardianship.
Food will be provided at a cost of $60 for the three nights. Accommodation is free although a donation to help with keeping the retreat centre running would be much appreciated.
If you have loppers, hedge clippers, shovels, gardening implements or any tools you think could be useful, please bring them along.
Come and spend the weekend in nature working with like-minded people.
