120 Steps
The 120 Steps walking track experience is an opportunity to meditate, reflect on your past, slowly and deeply clear the unimportant thoughts from your mind, recover balance to the zero point and empower you to begin your journey towards creating your new future.
Bird of Soul Garden – Get in Touch with your Soul
Our Bird of Soul Garden which is a small herb garden that surrounds a circular g platform is based on the book and essential oil called “Bird of the Soul”. This picture book was written by Ilchi Lee to teach children about the ‘human soul’.
The essential oil blends 17 different plants that help make it easier for beginners to focus on meditation.
Chun Hwa Falls and River Walks – Awaken your Inner Wisdom
There are three waterfalls and three meditation platforms on this walk. They were designed by people who span the youth, mature and older age life stages. Each of the three waterfalls has a different sound.
The healing sound of water symbolizes a stage of life – passion, maturity, personal, and perfection. Chun Hwa Falls is a place to purify your energy and listen to the sound of the water release emotions and recharge new energy.
The Way of New Life – Where new Dreams Begin
There’s a place in the forest where you can breathe the forest. Be fed by and discover yourself on this walking trail through native forest. It is a perfect place to listen to the voices of the birds; follow the gentle contours of the land till you feel the release of old emotions and energy.
Let the natural harmony within your body become one with nature. There are ten species of trees, the most phytoncide-producing trees on the planet, are found in large colonies here.
The Earth Village vision is to deliver youth leadership and development programs with a focus on Brain Education training.
We have a strong desire to work with government agencies, schools, community groups and not-for-profit organisations to deliver more programs. We have been working with a local Maori school and look forward to their students visiting Earth Village in the very near future.
