Meditation Tour’s ultimate purpose is to support people of all nations and ethnicities to experience a more peaceful and deeper connection with themselves, with each other, and with nature and the earth – to be global Earth Citizens. The Earth Village is the vision of Ilchi Lee, a South Korean educator, author and founder of the Earth Citizen movement. This 156ha of pine forest and native New Zealand bush on the edge of Puketi Forest near Kerikeri, will soon become an educational hub for the internationally connected Earth Citizens Organisation NZ, a charitable trust dedicated to developing world youth (and others) to become leaders who create healthier communities for a more sustainable world.

The Earth Village is an ancient forest of natural beauty which will help you restore your body’s natural healing power. On the Meditation Tours you will walk and breathe and just be you. Special platforms provide wonderful meditation spaces. De-stress and feel the freedom of breath that comes from being in such a beautiful environment. Rejuvenate your life-force in awe-inspiring surroundings.

Additional features of the Earth Village include the 120 Steps Journey – reflect back on your life as you walk the steps, then find purpose and meaning as you plan for your next 60+ years! The Bird of the Soul Garden provides scents to arouse your senses, calm your mind, invigorate your body. Sit, breathe, let go, and smile. Ancient rocks hint at lives lived long ago when the world was simpler, yet grander, untouched by modern concerns of technology and economics. Take time out to feel the grandeur of the earth around you.
