I’ve been coming and going, to and from the Wangapeka retreat centre, for over thirty years.
It is a place of refuge for me, somewhere where I can walk slowly and softly on the well-trodden pathways. Somewhere I can sit and be in an all pervading stillness of mind and body.
I’ve been gardening and orcharding and composting and mushrooming and eating and using a wide variety of plants and plant parts for health and medicine for a long time. I’ve been sharing all of this with countless beings, teaching and offering this abundance of knowledge and sustenance.
Realizing that the Wangapeka centre has grown through the Dana of countless beings, I too can offer conscious Dana, of the natural wisdom that is all pervading and will benefit the Centre and countless beings.
I would love to share with others, in this place of refuge, how we can live simply while deepening our awareness of the wonder and the mystery of the livingness of the world we share with countless other beings.
