From 2–12 January 2026, Nissarana Vihara New Zealand will be hosting a 10-day residential mindfulness camp in Auckland for 60 participants. Our vision is to offer this experience free of charge (or at a significantly subsidised cost), so that anyone regardless of financial background can access the profound benefits of mindfulness and meditation.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀?

In our fast-paced world, stress, anxiety and burnout are common struggles. Our mindfulness programs are designed to help individuals from all walks of life integrate awareness and calm into their daily routines.

The total cost to host this 10-day residential camp is $35,000, which covers accommodation, meals, teaching materials, and logistical expenses for all participants. Every dollar raised brings us closer to offering this unique opportunity as a gift to the community—a true expression of compassion and generosity.
