Te Moata Retreat Centre Seeks Assistant Managers for Off-Grid Lifestyle

Te Moata Retreat Centre, located in the beautiful Coromandel region of New Zealand, is seeking Assistant Managers to live on its sacred land and contribute to its daily operations. The role requires a mature independent couple, or a handy person, with a deep sense of mindfulness, love for the environment and a desire to serve humanity.

The Assistant Managers will work closely with the current managers in a conscious and heartfelt way to create a sanctuary for all beings to flourish. The role encompasses three aspects of service: Land, People, and Infrastructure.

The Land aspect requires passion and energy to recreate a natural sanctuary for all beings to flourish. The land, flora, and fauna have undergone a brutal upheaval in the last 200 years and require love and attention. The goal is to live off-grid as much as possible and in harmony with nature.

The Infrastructure aspect consists of complex buildings and systems in an off-grid system that requires attention and constant maintenance to create a balanced flow. A natural problem-solving mind and experienced hands in this area are an essential asset. Kitchen work is an important part of this role, so a passion for the kitchen and a love of the garden would be ideal, as these are key aspects to fulfil.

The People aspect demands an open heart and a community-minded dedication to harmony. Te Moata Retreat Centre has a diverse community of like-minded souls who share a vision of creating a cradle for retreats and all beings who embrace this land. This includes managers, wwoofers, retreatants, and Sangha (connected community).

In exchange for their service, the couple will receive a small stipend, accommodation in a self-contained solar-powered cottage, and free wifi and food necessities. The couple will have 12 weeks of non-retreat time per year as potential shared leave time.

Te Moata Retreat Centre is a QEII-covenanted nature sanctuary that offers a heartfelt lifestyle choice immersed in silent meditation retreats and getting to know a diverse community. It’s an opportunity to serve the land, people, and infrastructure while living in a stunning environment.

Interested applicants are encouraged to visit the Te Moata website to read more about the retreat centre and its values. Suitable applicants will be invited to visit as a service team member on one of their retreats to experience the heartbeat of Te Moata first-hand and work alongside the current managers. 

These Assistant Manager positions are available now.
