Your Private Sanctuary: The Sacred Vessel for Inner Work

 

A stay at the Mahamudra Centre is more than just a break—it is a rare opportunity for profound inner reconnection and the accumulation of lasting merit. Nestled amidst the breathtaking natural beauty of the Colville Valley on the Coromandel Peninsula, our Centre is a sanctified space where the pure energy of the Dharma and the tranquility of nature converge.

This environment, rich with abundant birdlife, vibrant rainbows, and clear, star-filled skies, acts as a supportive catalyst for your practice. Here, the work of mind transformation continues uninterrupted, making your accommodation the perfect vessel for inner peace.

 

The Invitation to Inner Refuge

 

We warmly welcome all visitors, whether you are traveling from across New Zealand or around the world. You do not need to be Buddhist to stay here; many guests seek this haven simply to rest, reflect, or recover from the demands of everyday life.

We do, however, ask all guests to commit to the spiritual integrity of this Centre by observing the five lay precepts during their stay—a powerful foundation for personal clarity and social harmony. This means refraining from killing, stealing, lying, sexual misconduct, and the use of intoxicants.

We offer a range of mindful options designed to support varying levels of practice and immersion, ensuring you find the ideal inner refuge for your journey.
