Mangalam Earth Care Sunshine Coast
Mangalam Meditation Retreat is a little piece of paradise tucked away in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland between Montville and Palmwoods. Only 1 hour from Brisbane city Mangalam surrounded by lush subtropical gardens. We have been reforesting this land with natives, flowers and fruit to create a food forest with syntropic and permaculture design principles. We grow herbs, veggies, bananas and subtropical fruit here. Join us for an Earth Care Wednesday for a grass roots approach. Working with our food forest, organic veggie or herb garden is grounding, healing and soothing to the nervous system. So why not come and join us for a day and enjoy a garden feast.

Yoga Nidra – Rejuvenating Meditation
Yoga Nidra is a modern Panacea
An important part of our holistic healing program is yoga nidra, which can support the body-mind to relax and heal. by anyone. Yoga Nidra as a classical meditation or relaxation practiced either lying supine comfortably in shavasana, or sitting while traveling or even from your hospital bed. Deeply relaxing and rejuvenating for body, mind and spirit, yoga nidra is the perfect antidote for life’s everyday stresses. In fact it is a modern day panacea which can be incorporated with any healing modality to enhance rejuvenation. It develops awareness, mindfulness and boosts energy levels. Being deeply calming it is perfect for many forms of anxiety, trauma or periods of rehabilitation after illness. It can be practiced in hospital, while traveling for jet-lag and in bed for insomnia.

Cleaning the mirror of our mind requires absolute aware-presence in every NOW moment.
This started as a dream to share the beautiful garden we’ve created here at Mangalam and inspire people to grow both food and community.
At this time growing food and getting back to grass roots living as a community seems more important than ever. The garden offers us so much back with birdsong and beauty. Thus this invitation for yogi’s & earth lovers to join us in a hands-on way.
As we produce food we’ll share the abundance around with those who come. bring gardening gloves, suitable clothing and your gardening secateurs if you have them. Bring any old cardboard or paper to recycle in the garden.
Join us at Mangalam 32 Country Road Palmwoods on Fridays from 9am. Bring food for a shared lunch... no charge.
Hope you can join us. with Love Soraya
Shining Through From Grief To Gratitude
by Soraya Saraswati
A journey with grief that led to profound Awakening
Soraya Saraswati’s memoir ‘Shining Through From Grief to Gratitude’ is a parents rite of passage, of coming shining through the traumas of suicide, secrets and spirituality. From Outback Australia to Indian Ashrams, Greek temples and American Indian Sweat Lodges this is a journey a soul yearning for freedom from the pain of grief.
This book is a priceless gift
“This book is a priceless gift from a courageous, beautiful soul and a shining beacon for our troubled modern world. If you have ever tried to find comfort and healing through spiritual paths when in deep pain and grief, then here is a guide who can assist your out of the darkness into a new dawn of forgiveness and freedom.” Sally Oldfield – Musician
From the readers…
I just finished your book and I’m about to lend it to Vedanta who’s keen to read it.
It was a strong read …..I could relate to so much of it….the naivety of youthfulness, spiritual utopian ideals, the intensity and journey of motherhood (and single motherhood) and the angst we go through as mothers, the wisdom and equilibrium we acquire as we get older and so on.
Thank you for writing the book (I was nervous about reading it), it has inspired me to stay strong in my own journey and to practice gratitude and loving kindness. Also a reminder to stay present. (I need constant reminding).
