The Sound Garden is a free community gathering at various locations around Mount Maunganui and Papamoa — a welcoming morning by nature with live sound performance, Māori ancient medicine, and a nature bath experience.

We’ll share a live sound performance using acoustic healing instruments, surrounded by the natural soundscape of the bay — waves moving gently, birds in the distance, fresh morning air, and the calm rhythm of nature around us.

We’ll also be sharing traditional Māori medicinal herbs, bringing their grounding and restorative presence through aroma, energy, and connection to the land.

This experience is really about stepping away from the noise for a little while — the overstimulation, the constant thinking, the pressure to always be “on.”

You’re invited to simply listen, rest, and receive.

Please bring whatever helps you feel comfortable:

Camping chair

Yoga mat or something to lie on

Blanket or warm layers

Water bottle

Comfortable clothing

You don’t need any experience with meditation, breathwork, or sound healing.

We’re looking forward to having you with us, sharing the simple medicine of sound and nature.
