Going Further literally will take you further as we go offshore mainland New Zealand to Great Barrier Island. (90kms from Auckland) Great Barrier is Aotea, the historic “gateway” to Aotearoa. Getting there is part of the journey you are on, a pilgrimage and a week living in community, away from the world's distractions.
