These two courses are guided meditation groups that will cover a range of meditation techniques that aim to help manage our stress patterns, unclutter, calm, clear and relax the mind so that we begin to find inner peace and contentment. Quiet observation and increased awareness creates a balanced & clear mind. Learn tools that help you to ride the waves of life and relieve mental suffering. These powerful tools for change begin to become a daily habit with enormous benefits for your well being.

KIRTAN AND DEVOTIONAL CHANTING- chanting brings forth the ancient yogic tradition of transcendental sound as a healing path towards self-discovery.

Every Sunday night @ 6 - 8pm Includes chai & cake $10

An evening of sacred mantras and devotional chants (kirtan) performed in a call and response style. A musical tapestry that invokes the heart and lifts the spirit, a sound piercing journey into the sublime. A great stress releaser. Come and sing. Bring an instrument.

May we be granted with happiness.

Namaste and blessings to all.

Daily I have been sending love and healing to our Japanese friends. I have a few friends over there who are fine and my son was just about to go with the school for a holiday in April, cancelled now. And the the unrest in Libya. The world is in Chaos however the chinese say out of chaos comes a new order. The Hopi indians say that the earth is crying and that we have to re-evaluate our lifestyle.
The recent earthquakes and tsunami and left our planet's axis with a shift of 10 cms. Big hey. So if in the last few weeks you have been experiencing, weird stomach upsets, head colds, more mental activity that is your mind going ape, and even emotional outbursts well this is our bodies and psyche having to adjust. We are all connected, we are all vibration so we in some way do get affected.
I had an email from a friend of a friend who has been living in Japan for 22 years. She was in the affected area and her house has been destroyed and she is living with another family. Everyone is bunking in and helping each other she said, small shop owners in alleyways are opening up and helping the people to buy food of which she stood in the line for 2 hours. She said people in the shelters are sitting in circles, holding hands, some crying silently but all saying that they must move on. They gather firewood from the debris to make a fire to cook and keep warm with. So love and blessings to them all.
