Walk One - Sacred Spaces of Wellington

This is the first of 3 Guided Walks through Wellington’s spiritual history.

This walk starts at 2 p.m. at 80 Webb Street at the Beth El Orthodox Synagogue, founded in Wellington in 1843, which also houses the New Zealand Holocaust Centre. Next is the Theosophical Society, Marion Street, which dates from 1875 as an organisation which compares religions.

The final stop will be St Peter's Church, 211 Willis Street, founded in 1847 and built in Gothic style using New Zealand timbers in 1879.

A light meal will be available at St Peter's at 6 p.m. for those wishing to continue discussion.

Those who sign up to the walk will be asked if they want to stay for this meal at a charge of $25.00.
