Are you New Age?

Thank you so much for your question of whether The Life Academy of New Zealand falls under the ‘New Age’ banner – it’s an interesting one and one we’ve debated. If you need a straight answer, it would have to be no. The reason for this is that we not identify ourselves with any particular movement. This does depend on your interpretation of New Age – if we are talking about the movement increasing since the 1980’s which explores individual practices for self-realisation and rejects religious bodies of teachings then we are not. The Life Academy of New Zealand is about life – of finding meaning and connection in our lives, in ourselves and with one another through our relationships, and in business.  

We embrace all practices with high intent that support, inspire, challenge, motivate and help us to be the best people we can be – whether these be religiously structured, personally defined, scientifically proven, or business experienced. We certainly can learn from the wisdom that is represented through ‘new’ age experience, in the same manner as teaching that has been around since the beginning of man, and that which falls in the middle – all of which you might find incorporated into The Life Academy of New Zealand. Perhaps you might call us ‘alternative’ in that we ‘incorporate’ experience rather than define boundaries.

 We hope this answers your question and please be assured that whatever your personal beliefs, passion, or interests we value you as an individual and are here to serve you in the highest possible way.
