Uruti, Taranaki,

Meditation dome
 Savita is a Living Retreat center and offers an environment to those wishing to experience living a spiritual lifestyle that combines selfless service with meditation practice. Located in a beautiful setting on the west coast of Taranaki and overlooking ocean the center offers refuge from worldly demands. The peaceful scrub land and native bush provide a sense of beauty and calm. It is a Place to explore personal growth for those who require solitude and the simplicity of nature. The center is fully sustainable with regard to energy and water and supports all utilities needed in the modern times in an environment friendly way.
Savita is a non-profit organization and has been set up to open a vision beyond personal ownership. It provides an opportunity to practice meditation and also to practice applying selflessness by learning to serve and deal with others with compassion and humility. During your stay we ask that you respect the values of non-harming and to abstain from all intoxicants including alcohol and tobacco.
