Dharma Gaia welcomes retreatants in many capacities.
Some come for Spiritual sanctuary, to rest and rejuvenate.
Some come for specific retreats and practice periods to enjoy developing the Art of Mindful Living.
All who come drink deeply from the tranquillity, the profound peace and beauty that emanates from this gentle oasis of aliveness.
Accomodation
The accommodation is simple, clean and comfortable. There are possibilities
for single room chalets or to share in one of the single sex dormitories.
Food is vegetarian, locally grown and organic as much as possible.
It is our commitment to keep the basic cost of staying as low as possible
so that all who wish to come can do so. Cost for accommodation per night
is presently set at $30.00. Plus $15 a day for food. It is possible for
visitors to provide their own food to keep their costs low.
Work Exchange
Dharma Gaia offers Work Exchange to reduce the cost of a stay.
We are also able to offer partial Support Scholarships to genuine cases
of financial challenge.
Dharma Gaia Garden is located on State Highway 25, just 38 km
north of Thames on the Coromandel Peninsula and 3 km south of Manaia village.
Look out for the Dharma Gaia Garden and Mana Retreat Centre sign (on the
right if travelling from Thames).
The InterCity Coachlines service from Thames to Coromandel township runs past Dharma Gaia. The bus drivers are usually more than happy to drop people off at our gate.
