Join Billy Lewis and Mangaroa Farms for an evening of restorative yin yoga & sound, in the beautiful Mangaroa Yurt. Yin Yoga is a “yin” approach to yoga, which means it is slow, calm & gentle. Contrary to popular fast & energetic forms of yoga, yin is specifically designed to relax the body and release tension and stress from the muscles and mind. It is potentially the most simple form of yoga, available for every body, regardless of age, experience or flexibility. Billy’s journeys are focused on rest and introspection, mixed with soothing soundscapes to facilitate an experience of deep nervous system relaxation. jus

A guided imagery and music journey offers a restorative and introspective experience where participants are guided to explore their inner world, allowing the body to relax and inviting the mind to expand and explore the depths of consciousness. This restorative journey will give you an opportunity to experience a 'moment out of time', and to journey within yourself with live improvised music by multi-instrumentalist artist and registered music therapist Carlos Riegel.

Join Tamsin of Urth Apothecary for a guided foraging walk through the land of Mangaroa Farms and learn about the medicinal seasonal plants growing around us.

Bring a notebook and writing devices.

It’s that time of year again — we’re hosting our Mangaroa Farms Open Farm Day 🎪

As our biggest event yet, we’re excited to offer this awesome experience to our community. Earlier this year we had around 800 people turn up, and this November, we’re looking to break that record. Our signature garden tour tickets sell out quickly, so be sure to book through our website to not miss out.

Show up for lunch and a tour, or just pop in to see the stalls, do a little shop, and enjoy some live music with the whānau.

📍 Hosted at the Mangaroa Farm Shop / Kete Kai 98 Whitemans Valley Road

Join Mandi Lynn and Mangaroa Farms to learn the meditative art of needle felting. We will make a dryer ball holiday ornament, and a three-dimensional sculpture broach. Needle felting enables you to sculpt with wool. It is relaxing and keeps you focused (so you don't stab your finger). Bandaids are provided for the inevitable rtes-of-passage misfire with the needle. Be warned: It is highly addictive. Available to all ages. All wool and supplies are provided thanks to Creative Communities Upper Hutt. Take home needle felting kits will be available for purchase at the venue if you get hooked. 

Somatic Breathwork™ is a full embodiment experience designed to help you release stress, trauma, emotions and stuck energy from the body. This is a modality that utilizes your own breath to help shed the layers of yourself that no longer serve, making room for you to call in what will help facilitate change within your life. Somatic Breathwork™ uses a consciously connected breath pattern to help you tap into your body's innate inner intelligence and find the areas that need clearing. Coupling the breath with immersive music may result in different forms of cathartic emotional releases such as laughing, moving, crying, yelling, and shaking. All forms of expression are encouraged as it allows the body to move any pent up energy and create space for the second half of the breathwork journey. A gentler breathing technique is used in the second half of the session to help you connect with who you truly are. Together we can use the breath to call in how you want to show up in the world, the changes you want to make, and allow you to see clearly what it would be like to live your best life.
