Nestled in the heart of Tairua, Coromandel, in Aotearoa, New Zealand, the Centre for Communion is a sacred space for those longing to step out of the noise and into the stillness of God’s presence. Here, surrounded by the beauty of creation, we invite you to rest, pray, and rediscover the peace that comes from deep communion with God.

At the Centre, we believe that God’s love is the heartbeat of the church— alive, active, and yearning for her flourishing in our time. We are passionate about nurturing this love through practices of prayer, renewal, and spiritual nourishment. Whether you’re seeking a moment of stillness or a season of transformation, this is a place to breathe deeply, listen closely, and encounter God’s gentle whisper.

Our work is simple: to foster a life of intimacy with God. Through in-person prayer schools, retreats, conversations, and resources, we walk alongside those who desire to deepen their communion with God. These offerings are spaces to explore the richness of prayer, the beauty of rest, and the healing power of peace in the midst of life’s complexities.

More than just a place, the Centre for Communion is a community— a gathering of hearts united by the longing to encounter God afresh, together. Connection and seenness are a central part of our gatherings and spaces as we cultivate rhythms of prayer and renewal that ripple out into our families, churches, and world.

We acknowledge Te Tiriti o Waitangi, honoring the partnership between Māori and non-Māori as foundational to life in Aotearoa. Rooted in Christian spirituality, we embrace and seek to live out key Māori themes such as whanaungatanga (relationship), manaakitanga (hospitality), and kaitiakitanga (stewardship) as invitations to deepen our life of communion. These values guide us in fostering a spirit of unity, care, and connection—with God, one another, and creation—through rhythms of prayer and communion.

Whether you’re a weary soul searching for peace or a curious seeker hungry for more of God, we welcome you. Come and drink deeply of the love that transforms, renews, and sustains.

Let us journey together into the mystery of divine communion.
