What is a Meditation Tour?
What makes a meditation tour unique is the purpose of travel. Most people travel to sightsee, take photos, make memories, and eat delicious food. While you will do all that in a meditation tour, the difference is an added element of purifying the mind, body, and spirit in nature and practicing deep self-care in a new setting to refresh your brain.
Often when that component of reflection and self-care is missing in travel, you might come back home and experience travel fatigue. We all need to refresh and recharge from time to time, and sometimes that’s easier when you’re in a new environment. Take a deep breath, feel yourself one with Nature, and be inspired to a life of greater purpose.
This meditation tour will help you return home refreshed and newly inspired as you experience Nature purifying your mind, body, and spirit.

What People Say About the Tour
Kaylene G.
“I am very grateful my husband and I were able to participate in the first New Zealand Earth Meditation Tour following the Covid pandemic. Even before we arrived in New Zealand I felt supported through the NZ chat room where all questions were answered and valuable information was shared. My physical needs were accommodated as I was still rehabbing after a hip replacement. Everyone was there to support me and help me participate in all the wonderful experiences planned. I truly enjoyed hiking the trails and visiting Earth Village. Kayaking at Haruru falls brought back childhood memories. The 120 steps were by far the most memorable time for me, not because it was so challenging but because of the support and positive energy I experienced from everyone. The incredible feeling of inclusion in this community, which included humans, plants and animals truly defined GongSaeng, coexistence, for me. I will cherish the memories of this experience for the rest of my life.”
Allan J.
“I had a truly amazing time, from the dining, care of the staff, and cultural experiences to Earth Farm, Earth Village, Athena trees, forest walks, Qigong and meditations, wishing rock, kayaking, and much more. I felt strong Earth energy, and a personal connection with Earth and Earth Management vision. I began an awakening of preconceptions I have held that limit my joy, belonging, and vision. These awakenings continue. I am deeply grateful for this experience. Thank you. Much love.”
Eddy B.
“The earth village energy is a must experience along with the waterfall. Connection to energy seems easier after the trip. I have a new tendency to connect with random people's energy in my day-to-day life now, which is new and a bit intimidating. Thanks again for the experience.”

Hear about the tour from Brain Education TV's Linda:
"You've been on tours, but have you been on a MEDITATION TOUR? This is an idea unique to our Body & Brain centers, where you remove yourself from your usual environment to go connect with your inner self in nature. My absolute favorite place on Earth to do that has to be New Zealand because of it's lush greenery, blue skies, warm sunshine, blue waters, clean air... just everything about New Zealand is just SO HEALING and rejuvenating. Check out this video that details my experience there and where we went to in New Zealand that are places relevant to our Brain Education community. "
