Our Story
Bringing mindfulness and meditation to New Zealand communities
Our Philosophy
Guiding principles that shape our approach to meditation
Compassion First
We believe that meditation begins with self-compassion and extends outward to all living beings. Our practices foster kindness and understanding.
Present Awareness
Our techniques center on cultivating awareness of the present moment, helping practitioners move beyond past regrets and future anxieties.
Continuous Growth
We view meditation as a lifelong journey of growth and discovery, with each session offering new insights and opportunities for development.
The purgettdetoxify Journey
From humble beginnings to a thriving meditation community
purgettdetoxify began in 2018 as a small gathering of meditation enthusiasts in Petone, New Zealand. Our founder, drawn to the transformative power of mindfulness practices, started hosting weekly meditation circles in local community spaces.
As interest grew, we expanded our offerings to include guided meditation sessions, workshops, and carefully selected meditation tools. Our name, purgettdetoxify, derives from ancient roots meaning "peaceful solution" — reflecting our belief that meditation offers a path to inner peace amid life's challenges.
Today, we're proud to serve the wider New Zealand community with both in-person experiences and thoughtfully crafted meditation products that enhance home practice.
