The Monastery opens its heart to Canterbury
A national charity is opening the doors of its wellness retreat for a whole year, providing retreats free of charge to people directly affected by Canterbury’s 22 February earthquake.
The Wise Group is a family of charitable organisations, which aims to create fresh possibilities for the wellbeing of people, organisations and communities. The Wise Group owns and runs The Monastery, a wellness retreat in the heart of the Waikato.
The Wise Group will provide free wellness retreats from April 2011 for a year, on arrangement. The overall aim is for people directly affected by the February 2011 earthquake in Canterbury, to rest and rejuvenate and think about their futures. Guests will include people who have lost loved ones, those who have been displaced and carers who have given so much to helping others. Read more.
