**Big news from Te Moata 🌿**

After four years since our last confirmed kiwi sighting, we finally have a new reason to celebrate. A kiwi has been photographed on one of our monitoring cameras! 🎉

With cameras positioned across different areas of the bush, it was an exciting moment to discover this special visitor on film.

Over the coming week, TeMoata Retreat Centre will be taking part in a wider kiwi survey across the Coromandel, with acoustic recorders being placed in the far hills. We hope to record the same kiwi pair we heard calling last year, along with any other kiwi in the area.

We have also been finding kiwi probe holes around the property, another encouraging sign that these treasured birds may be becoming more active on the land.

It's heartening to think that kiwi numbers could be slowly increasing, supported by ongoing predator control efforts and habitat connections throughout the wider landscape.

A huge thank you to everyone who has contributed to this work over the years. Moments like this remind us of the importance of caring for and protecting this beautiful sanctuary.

Here's to more kiwi calls, footprints, and sightings in the years ahead.🌿

TeMoata Retreat Centre

This April (17–19 April), join Stephen Archer for a Weekend Mindfulness Retreat at Te Moata.

This silent retreat offers a rare opportunity to step away from noise, deadlines and everyday pressures and settle into the quiet that’s already within you.

Through a series of guided sessions, you’ll explore practical mindfulness approaches including focused attention, self-compassion, and awareness, and how these can support greater clarity, emotional balance, and wellbeing in everyday life.

Set in the peaceful surroundings of Te Moata in the Coromandel, the retreat provides a simple, structured, and supportive environment suitable for both beginners and those with an existing practice.

Women's Silent Retreat - Relax and Unwind In Gentle Silence
April 9-12th

This retreat is lightly held, with permission to follow your heart. Attend all the wonderful offerings, or take time out reading, walking or resting, while sharing the silence in a group of women. Woven into the weekend is meditation, sacred chanting, movement, poetry, walking the labyrinth, time in nature connecting with the trees, water and land of Te Moata, and more. The delicious Te Moata meals taste even better in silence, with time to appreciate every mouthful. There is time at the first evening meal and the final lunch to socialise. This is a special opportunity for you to rest deeply, to remember who you are and to emerge refreshed and nurtured. Facilitated by Beccy, Kibriya and Suni and supported by Marnie’s presence who has led this reatreat for 25 years.
