The Lotus-Heart is a sanctuary of nourishment and tranquility in the heart of Christchurch, a place where conscious dining, community, and care come together in genuine harmony.
Throughout the Wellness Festival, The Lotus-Heart will be serving a carefully prepared selection of vegetarian and vegan meals. Come and enjoy house-roasted organic coffee, nourishing peace bowls, flavourful curries with dosa or rice, hearty burgers, antipasto platters, and daily specials, all made with fresh, wholesome ingredients, and crafted with real love and care.
The outdoor deck provides a relaxed and welcoming dining space, and the Artisan Market in the outdoor area brings additional food offerings including stone-baked pizza, fresh juices, chai, vegan housemade ice cream, and sweet treats.
Beyond dining, The Lotus-Heart is also home to a health store stocked with organic products and natural health essentials, a gift shop offering handcrafted treasures, and the Gandharva Loka World Music Store, a unique collection of world instruments for exploration and joy.
Whether you are arriving for a talk, resting between sessions, or simply dropping in to breathe for a moment, The Lotus-Heart is your warm home base for the festival week.
The Lotus-Heart exists for one reason: to serve.
