Sacred Earth Retreat Office

Unconsented Dwellings, don't pay there tradespeople.Sure the rooms are semi nice but note none of the foundations are legal and there's horrible drafts and unfinished flashings on all roofs.The reasons why they cant get them up to scratch is because they cant / and don't pay tradespeople.Jenny is nice on the phone when she wants your money or something done but plays the Ghost card when its time to pay.

Sacred Earth is an amazing place. It is in the hills above Karekare Beach and from so many vantage points has spectacular views of the Ocean and surrounding pristine Forrest areas.The Sivitri Temple is a spiritual wonder.

They have so much to share.For many People, the Sacred Earth feels more like Home than any Home they have ever had.Wonderful experience

Sacred Earth is now one of my favorite places in nz (north&south). The whole community is amazing. The views, the people, the yoga classes! I ended up there almost by chance, I was planning to stay one night to then keep going with my road trip but ended up staying four (the rest of my holidays)! It is the perfect place to disconnect from your routine and reconnect with yourself. The yoga classes are also open for the community, not just the residents (I strongly recommend Zo's class, it is unique. I can't describe it, you have to experience it). These classes are in a temple with sea views and amazing energy. The sunset light is magic. In the main house there's an old school bath tab and a huge fire place. There's is also a really cool walk with waterfalls and natural pools and a river that connects with the sea. Everything is super clean, the beds are very comfy and there's a full equipped kitchen with anything you might need. If you are into yoga, or nature, or meditation, or simply into reading a nice book by the fire and sleep, Sacred Earth is the place to go.- Thank you so much for such an amazing journey. I will see you again soon!

Living at the Sacred Earth Yoga- and Meditation Retreat Centre has been an enriching experience for me. The unique combination of beautiful nature, a conscious community, and the huge variety of events and classes makes life so special out here. One is surrounded by the beautiful Waitakere Ranges with lots of walking tracks, close to the ocean and yet the commodities of a city are only a short drive away.In the last 9 months on the land I met people from all walks of life and all ages. Among them I found friends and a community of supportive, compassionate individuals with a variety of gifts. Sharing those gifts with each other in form of classes or workshops about all kinds of alternative healing methods from plant medicine to intuitive movement to painting contributes to a diversified life with lots of opportunities to learn and connect. This exchange has not only fostered personal growth but also motivated and supported me on my own path as facilitator.

I only intended on staying at Scared Earth for a couple of weeks, but ended up staying for three months in total! I think that’s testament to the beautiful, healing space that Savitri and Phil have set up here.Set in a tropical paradise, with private access to the top of KareKare waterfall and only a short drive to the beach, Sacred Earth is a true nature lover’s dream! As a volunteer I particularly enjoyed my days out gardening on the land. The hours were beyond fair and you can clearly see that the schedule has been designed in a way to best support you, the individual, with lots of free time in the week to explore.In addition to the powerful, healing energy of the land, one thing that really struck me when I arrived at Scared Earth was just how friendly and welcoming the people were! Everyone is on their own healing journey and ready and willing to support you in yours. I am so grateful to everyone for blessing me with their beautiful light and for holding space for me to be, breathe and shine too!Something I find really special about Sacred Earth is that it both honours and respects the individuals' need for solitude and silence, whilst also promoting coming together as a community to help support and grow alongside one another. I felt so fortunate to have access to such a wide range of workshops and classes hosted at the beautiful temple.To me, Sacred Earth is a true safe haven which I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a supportive, nurturing space to help hold you on your healing journey. Thank you Sacred Earth for all that you do and all that you are. You’ll always have a very dear place in my heart and I am planning to come back already!

Sacred Earth is such a divine place to host retreats and workshops and I love bringing guests here. The Savitri Temple has magnificent views of native forest all the way down to the sea and beyond to the vast horizon of sky, that give a huge sense of spaciousness and expansion, while the whenua itself has a very special energy. Simply entering the Temple space is instantly uplifting and healing. The team at Sacred Earth are wonderful to work with when organising your event – they are very responsive with communications, and great at assisting with catering (they offer delicious well priced plant-based meals) and accommodation options. Highly recommended!

I came to the land in hope of a small two week retreat away from the busy city and what I found was a permanent home more awe inspiring than in my wildest dreams! Each day my heart expands in leaps of quantum healing towards more abundance, compassion, acceptance and more self-love than the day before. This is truely a divine platform custom made by the heavens for each of our healing journeys. I am eternally grateful for this land and it’s people! My life has forever been transformed & blessed.

An amazing place to unwind and reconnect. We had a great Thai Yoga Massage Course over the weekend and we felt very welcome. Thank you Sacred Earth for your generosity, I will be back. :)
