New Zealand Meditation Groups
Regional Directory

Meditation groups are the heart and soul of our community. Meditating with others on a regular basis provides companionship, connection and support. Being part of a group helps to establish or deepen your personal meditation practice and share in the fruits of it with others.

Groups meet weekly in every region throughout Aotearoa, New Zealand. Find a meditation group near you in the directory below, or participate in an online meditation group.

NZCCM Meditation Groups follow a set structure. This way of being together unites us with people from around the world who practice Christian meditation

Meditation Creates Community

  • “ Membership of a weekly group keeps me anchored in my own meditation practice. The loyalty and commitment of my small group constantly re-inspire me."

    — Damian Robertson

  • "I often wonder if I would still be meditating if I didn’t have a group. The greatest gifts are encouragement, being understood and being accepted ."

    — Jane Hole

  • "Having regular contact with other meditators has enriched my practice. Group meetings - face to face as well as online - really help to ground me and guide me."

    — Kathy Egan
