WHANGAMATA LABOUR WEEKEND 2025 YOGA KIRTAN RETREAT
Meditation New Zealand runs this retreat in association with Mount Maunganui Meditation and Waikato Meditation.
7pm Friday 24th Oct - 12pm Monday 27th Oct 2025
Whangamata War Memorial Hall, 328 Port Road, Whangamata 3620
All are welcome to participate in another of our popular Yoga Kirtan retreats, an inspirational non-profit event, in the beautiful beachside township of Whangamata over Labour Weekend!
Begin your mornings with japa mala meditation, yoga for all levels, short inspirational yoga wisdom talks by Jagad Guru, mellow kirtan music meditation, and refreshments.
Your afternoons are free to enjoy bush walks, nature hikes to waterfalls, beaches, by yourself, or join a group of us as we go on a walk to one of these places (weather dependent).
The late afternoon sessions on the weekend include a 'Bring Your Own Instrument' Kirtan & Music Drumming Circle, Deep Peace relaxation and nourishing plant-based meals.
The evenings offer the experience of blissful, mellow music and the fun of upbeat kirtan music meditation - a chance to dance the night away, concluding with refreshments and an opportunity to connect with others.
Relax, rejuvenate and have fun! Bring friends / make friends, or recharge yourself. Please note: All dinners & refreshments provided at the retreat are vegetarian, plant-based & egg-free (with vegan and GF options available whenever possible).
