ESTABLISHED IN 1988
For more than 30 years we have been holding space for group retreats, workshops and professional development trainings. During this time, thousands of people have visited our Retreat Centre on the Coromandel. To experience mind-body education, spiritual exploration and renewal.
We look forward to welcoming you.

Our
INITIATIVES
Mana Retreat Centre is an eco friendly environment where we try to consider the whole ecology of life. We work with the awareness that everything is connected and interdependent, so caring for the environment is a given.
We are dedicated in finding more ways to offset our carbon footprint at Mana, together.
Here are some of our ideas:
Educate – help everyone to understand how travelling to Mana impacts on our environment
Plant a Tree – offset CO2 & rejenerate the land
Donate – in support of Mana’s sustainable practices
Join us in helping to sustain this precious planet of ours. See below for some facts about your footprint and some ways to off set them.
Educate
By Plane = tonnes CO2
LAX – AKL = 2.4 t
MEL – AKL = 0.5 t
FRA – AKL = 4.2t
By car = tonnes CO2
Auckland – Mana =0.7t
Try out our Carbon Footprint Calculator below for more interesting figures.
Plant a Tree
Offset Your Travel
1 tonne CO2 = 1 tree
MEL – AKL = 1 tree
FRA – AKL = 5 trees
LAX – AKL = 2.5 trees
Donate
General money donations of $25 for each tonne of CO2 will go towards Mana’s sustainability initiatives – creating more organic gardens & orchards, solar panels & water heating.
We are always interested to hear your ideas on Living Green!
