Kia ora from the Contemplative Network Aotearoa

Based in Aotearoa New Zealand, the Contemplative Network (CN) is a virtual network linking people in Australasia to a range of contemplative and Wisdom offerings. The website supports people to make connections, join others in contemplative practice, and find community on their spiritual journey.

We function like an online noticeboard, providing information on retreats, wisdom schools, practice groups, individual spiritual companioning, and visiting teachers. These offerings can be regional or national and in person or online. The CN coordinators respond to queries and send out a newsletter via email about twice a year updating subscribers about future offerings.

Nondual knowing is learning how to live satisfied
in the naked now, which some called “the sacrament of the present moment.” This consciousness will teach us how to actually experience our experiences, whether good, bad, or ugly, and how to let them transform us.
Words by themselves divide and judge the moment; pure presence lets it be what it is, as it is.
