Wangapeka Educational Trust

Nestled in the serene town of Wakefield, since 1975, Wangapeka Educational Trust has been a haven for those seeking solace, growth, and transformation through the ancient art of meditation. Our tranquil surroundings, deeply rooted in the rich tapestry of New Zealand's landscapes, provide an idyllic setting for individuals to delve into the depths of their minds and souls. Over the decades, we have welcomed thousands of visitors who have come to engage in our retreats, group activities, and personalized healing sessions. Our approach is guided by Vipassana meditation – a practice that invites one to observe their thoughts and emotions mindfully, leading to profound self-understanding and inner peace. At Wangapeka Educational Trust, we believe in the transformative power of meditation and mindfulness. We offer an immersive experience for those seeking a deeper connection with themselves and the world around them. Whether you're a novice or an experienced practitioner, our welcoming environment encourages growth at your own pace. Our offerings extend beyond the traditional retreat. We provide comprehensive study programs that delve into the philosophy and techniques of meditation, allowing you to deepen your understanding and practice. Our group activities foster community and companionship among like-minded individuals on their spiritual journeys. But Wangapeka is more than just a place for practice; it's a sanctuary for healing. We offer personalized healing sessions tailored to address each individual's unique needs, providing the necessary support for personal growth and transformation.
