Maitreya ishwara is a visionary author and spiritual teacher who has shared Satsang with thousands of seekers around the world.

Maitreya has created a vibrant meditation community in New Zealand near the idyllic Marlborough Sounds. A magical place where you can discover the love and bliss that you really are. A tranquil place where the journey is the goal, and where your fellow travellers share your passion for truth and freedom.

With the fragrant pine and native forest of the magical Wakamarina Valley, private swimming and twenty acres of verdant land, the Maitreya Meditation Centre enjoys one of the most beautiful and healing settings in New Zealand.

We offer the rare opportunity to dissolve in the heart of Beingness in a friendly and transformative atmosphere.

Everyone is free to ask questions or share in a context of spiritual friends. Beginners and seasoned seekers are equally welcome, and everyone can enjoy the nondual teaching and conscious, loving energy that is shared.

We offer a flexible programme of varied meditations and activities to complement the morning and evening Satsangs. Individual sessions are available, and workshops including the Mystic Rose, Awareness in Action, and the work of Byron Katie are scheduled during the summer.

Visitors can also enjoy swimming, reading, walking, sharing with fellow travellers, or exploring the idyllic Marlborough Sounds. And those wishing to experience a silent meditation retreat are fully supported.

In this atmosphere of enlightened energy, personal breakthroughs are common. Many guests extend their stay and live at the centre for several months. We invite you to visit us as a drop-in guest or as a long-stay resident, and look forward to sharing the journey home with you in the Garden of the Beloved.
