Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The Silent Insight Awareness Meditation Retreat I attended at Tushita Mystery School was a life changing event. I was apprehensive about attending a silent retreat but soon felt at home guided by the friendly and experienced facilitators. I experienced peace and joy that I did not think possible. The Mystery School is a stunning place with large grounds to walk in, beautiful trees and flowers. The accommodation was comfortable and the vegetarian meals outstanding.

I have been an avid follower of Tushita Mystery School programs and sessions for the last 2 or 3 years. I love them because they are amazing value for money, empowering, liberating, instant results experience that you'd struggle to find anywhere else. I have done many retreats and programs in other parts of nz and the world, and Tushita Mystery School is one of my top picks. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is welcoming, friendly and unassuming, the instructors or knowledgable and helpful, the place itself is otherworldly and instantly takes you to a state of mind where you can relax and enjoy the bliss of being in a beautiful environment.

Take time out to focus on yourself and maybe step into some unknown territory- like an the ice bath, or the art of silenct appreciation.
The crew are great, setting peaceful and calming, food delicious and nurturing.
My only comment would be to teach the deep tummy breath - don’t assume people know how to do it correctly.
Other than that it’s a great experience that warrants a drive north, or better, book a weekend away. I’d definitely be up for a repeat

My wife and i spent a week here for an intensive silent meditation program. - I AM program. I found this very refreshing, although it took my mind a day or two to get used to the discipline of the meditation regimen. The loving and food arrangements were simple and adequate. The location of their School is out in the rural countryside, which was great!

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! The mind sure does like to put up a fight when you suddenly find yourself in silence with nothing you have to do :) We're glad to hear you had a refreshing time at Tushita Mystery School - it was a pleasure to host you and your wife.

Absolutely lovely ladies who held the space for the day. Beautiful warm presence for us all. For me (only me), I felt like I needed some sort of 'grounding' exercise before the day and after each break. Especially because this type of meditation didn't provide anything to focus on (not even the breath) so for me I needed something to at least ground me into the sitting meditation each time (i.e. at minimum, a focus on the breath and mindfulness around the breath before beginning) :-) I also feel that I prefer at least one thing to focus on in meditation practice (like I'd mentioned about the breath), otherwise it feels a little pointless for me as I spend the whole time lost in mindless (not mindful) thought. I wonder if this type of practice may be more suitable for someone who has less overpowering thoughts than I do ! ha ha. I'm only assuming. Sometimes I can sit in complete silence with nothing to focus on but that space before my thoughts, however that's usually after I have done a meditation practice already. Thank you so much to the lovely people who took this and looked after us all so well

Hi there, thank you for your honest review. This was our 1st one day Silent IAM Meditation Retreat (they usually run for 2-7 days), so it's really helpful for us to hear about your experience. Grasping the practise of Insight Awareness Meditation can take some time, especially when many meditation techniques offer an area of focus, like the breath, for example. IAM on the other hand, is a process of non-trying, to become the impartial observer of one's mind (and all the thoughts that come and go!). However we did encourage everyone to use the breath as an anchor point in order to regain awareness that is seperate from the thoughts. It was a pleasure having you join us, and if you're keen to delve deeper into the practise, we'd love to see you at one of our longer retreats. Only Love, the Tushita team.

This time proved to be an experience of slowly getting back to the Truth.. The quiet contentment of just being in a peaceful circumstance and nourished by good food and caring service.
