Enjoy the Spectacular Beauty of the Auckland Area

The Blissful Life Programme℠ is housed at the Maharishi Spiritual Centre of New Zealand located in Silverdale, about 25 miles north of downtown Auckland on the north island. Time is given to visit the beautiful white sand beaches of the Pacific ocean on the east, and dramatic, spectacular black sand beaches of the west coast on the Tasman sea.

These images give you a taste of the spectacular beauty of the Auckland area. Each of these locations offers beaches and hiking trails through the native bush and is within 2 hours by car—most are closer. Orewa is only about 10 minutes drive from the Spiritual Centre and also offers a beautiful white sand beach, native bush, shopping, restaurants, medical offices, banking, and post office. You can also catch a bus to Orewa from a stop that is about a 15 minute walk from the Mother Divine℠ campus.
