Zen Institute of New Zealand

Nestled in the heart of Auckland, Zen Institute of New Zealand stands as a sanctuary for those seeking tranquility, harmony, and balance in their lives. Established with a vision to bring the timeless wisdom of Zen to modern-day seekers, our institute has been a beacon of peace and transformation since its inception. Our journey begins not just on the day we opened our doors but decades ago, when our founders embarked on their personal quest for inner peace. They ventured through the serene landscapes of Asia, immersing themselves in ancient meditation techniques, energy balancing practices, and wisdom teachings from various Zen traditions. Their experiences culminated in the creation of a unique methodology that resonates deeply with our Kiwi culture and lifestyle. At Zen Institute of New Zealand, we believe that everyone has an innate capacity for peace, creativity, and love within them. Our mission is to help you tap into this potential through meditation, workshops, retreats, and energy balancing sessions tailored to your unique needs. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or a curious beginner, our warm and welcoming community offers an environment conducive to growth, learning, and self-discovery. Our spaces are designed with flexibility in mind, reflecting the fluidity of energy and the adaptability of the Zen philosophy. From our spacious meditation halls bathed in soft, ambient light to our intimate workshop rooms filled with natural light, each space invites you to embrace the present moment with openness and curiosity. At Zen Institute of New Zealand, we celebrate the harmony that exists within us and around us. We invite you to join us on this journey of self-discovery, growth, and transformation. Together, let's cultivate a more peaceful, balanced, and harmonious life - one breath, one step at a time. Namaste.
