SUMMER PARKLAND MEDITATIONS - Sundays in the Auckland Domain
Whether you’re a newcomer to meditation or seeking the company of others and a group to practice with, you’re warmly invited to our drop-in, free weekend park meetings. We’re currently offering meditation courses in our peaceful Auckland parklands on Sunday mornings at 10am.
Informal and interesting, the sessions share a range of different meditation skills and guided exercises along with the ABC’s of meditation, helping you to establish your own ongoing practice. A popular aspect is the use of simple mantras along with harmonium accompaniment.
If you’re keen on joining in, call or text to: 0221887432, or leave your details on our contact page below and we’ll be in touch to confirm each Sunday’s upcoming session.
Weather permitting, we meet at the Auckland Domain at 10:00am by the band rotunda off Domain Drive. Bring a mat to sit on the grass, or a meditation stool. We usually have some refreshments afterwards. No charge, all welcome.
There’s a helpful online guide as well, taking you on a familiarization journey. Visit: nz.srichinmoycentre.org...

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
