Meditate in Tauranga

19/07/2026

On Saturday we were lucky enough to spend half a day in meditation retreat at beautiful Summerhill. Local teacher Mat guided us skilfully through three practical and profound meditations, learning to watch our mind and let go of the turbulence of distracting thoughts. What a great way to spend the morning! Thanks to everyone that came along and helped out.
Everyone is welcome to join our weekly drop-in meditation classes at Brain Watkins House, on Thursdays with Mat. 😊

✨ Clear Sky Mind - Half day retreat
👉 Papamoa • Sat 18 Jul

Learn the secret of inner peace. Explore the nature of your own mind and discover something extraordinary — your own potential for deep lasting peace and real happiness. By dissolving our cloud-like thoughts and mental busyness within the inner space of our sky-like mind, we can experience a deep inner peace.

A guided retreat is an unequalled opportunity to become aware of the peaceful nature of our mind. Join us on this half day retreat and give yourself time to develop your meditation practice. By cultivating mental stillness through formal meditation, you’ll begin to experience how this inner peace can extend beyond the meditation session, supporting a sense of ease and contentment in daily life.

✨Death and Dying: a Buddhist perspective
👉Tauranga • Sun 29 March

Although we often avoid thinking about death, it is an inescapable part of life. Each of us will face the loss of loved ones, as well as our own mortality. The Buddhist understanding of death and dying offers profound and practical guidance, helping us to acknowledge impermanence and transform the truth of death into a powerful, life-enhancing force.

Drawing on Buddha’s teachings, this course explores the process and meaning of death and dying, special ways of thinking about mortality, and how to prepare for death with grace, faith, and fearlessness.

When things go wrong in our life and we encounter difficult situations we tend to regard the situation itself as the problem. But if we learn to maintain a peaceful mind, we can be happy all the time regardless of our circumstances.
