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.

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.
