Such a magical, highly transformational place. Highly recommend going for the weekly Saturday fire ceremony Havan, to volunteer or attend a training or retreat. Highly qualified teachers, beautiful bush around as well as incredible ocean view. Such a gem in New-Zealand! Support it 🕉🙏🏼 Om

Awesome experience. My partner and I spent 4 days there and it passed super quick. The people there have beautiful souls and the community projects are deeply connected with nature. Highly recommended! We would love to come back :)

Anahata is a wonderful place with wonderful people. The unique atmosphere, that you are presented with, invites you to receive and grow. I personally did not know anything about Yoga when I got there. The aspect of autonomous, off-the-grid living invites you to think about consumption behaviour in the developed world. The absence of outside factors gives you the opportunity to experience a world of peacefulness and calmness. Meditation practices let you explore your inner realm and connect to your desires growing awareness of mind, body, health and environment. I was very impressed by the opportunities that were given to me by the practices and the teachers. I was able to connect to my body as I have never connected with it before. The experiences at Anahata not only changed my relationship with myself, but also my relationship towards work and community. The place consists of a set of beautiful little huts on a hill with a stunning ocean view. There's beautiful nature walks around and all the small homes feel cozy and inviting. The residents are loving and welcoming. My stay felt like home ❤️ I'm very glad I came here :) big thank you to everyone involved

Stayed here for a week as a complete beginner for a "Explore Your Self" course. I can say it might have changed my life in some way. The teachers are the real deal, no-nonsense approach, clear communication (which starts even before your arrival), great insights... Learned a lot about breathwork and meditation and got some tools to take home with me to further progress. Thank you for everything.

Appreciate the peace and quietness, simple, basic, living and routine. I highly recommend for a spiritual retreat.
