Heart Opening Community Weekend & Working Bee

Open your heart with Serve, Love, Give with Swami Karma Karuna & the Anahata Community

Join Us for a Heart-Opening Community Working Bee!

This Valentine’s Day weekend let’s come together to “Serve, Love, Give, Purify, Meditate, and Realize,” inspired by the wise words of Yogi Swami Sivananda Saraswati. These principles guide us to awaken to the higher consciousness within and around us, and what better way to embody them than by gathering as a community at Anahata?

We invite you to be present with us to create a positive energy during the Anahata transition to attract the next caretakers of this amazing land. Receive practice and inspiration whilst contributing to meaningful projects and reconnecting with our vibrant local tribe. Whether you’re tending the grounds, nurturing the gardens, or assisting with maintenance, your skills and enthusiasm will make a difference. Please bring any tools that align with your expertise.

Enjoy a variety of offerings

• Sauna
• Yoga and Meditation Classes
• Yoga Nidra Relaxation
• Morning Mantras
• Havan and Kirtan
• Ecstatic Dance
• Seva-selfless service

Experience the joy of seva, the Sanskrit term for selfless service, where helping others also helps you discover joy and meaning. Through seva, we transform action into heart opening liberation and personal growth. Together, we can cultivate the precious qualities of purity, patience, and humility.

Please share the love by bringing a plate or ingredients to add to the meals.

Join for the whole or part weekend or Saturday only.
Please RSVP and let us know when you plan to be here on: yoga@anahata-retreat.org.nz
