We would like to acknowledge the terrible situation that is currently taking place in South East Queensland and Northern New South Wales. This rain event is having a catastrophic impact on individuals, businesses, livelihoods, and services.
|
Despite disasters of seemingly epic proportions, we bow to the constant reminders which awaken us to what we are seeing in the universal mirror, not all of which is comfortable or pleasant. Difficulties come and go. Everything changes. Nothing is permanent. Challenges thrust us out of our comfort zone, ultimately unleashing our strengths. They are important tools in shaping and forging our character. Pessimism inevitably leads to weakness because it is linked with the greatest form of betrayal - to ourselves, the universe, and this precious gift, life. Optimism, on the other hand, is uplifting and performance-enhancing.

With the incessant rain, spontaneous waterfalls tumble down the Beechmont mountain slopes (and in the peaceful, tranquil environs of Nirvana Wellbeing Retreat) sometimes with mudslides and rockfalls, closing the road till the Scenic Rim council makes it safe. The electricity and the internet seem to respond in their own way to the heavy rain… But we are all alive and well, with yet another reminder about what's really important in life.
|
|
Please make sure that your personal safety is your first priority before all else. Your life and all lives are more important than your livelihood or your possessions, and money cannot buy forgiveness or buy back your soul.
|
|
We want to thank you for the outpouring of love, concern and offers of support and help. We are safe and all is well. The Southport Centre is not in a flood-prone area, and classes and activities have continued as scheduled, with a few more absentees than usual, as people tend to do what is needed at the homefront.
|
Join our beloved faculty for classes, activities, meals, healing arts experiences, and so much more as you begin your personal transformation.
|
|
Your heart is a powerful source of energy. Come and create a more meaningful relationship with your inner peace. In this caring and supportive environment, nourish yourself and learn to make simple and healthy changes. Slow down, unwind and refresh your wellbeing. Inhale awakened peace. Exhale compassionate calmness. At the Shanti Yoga Centre, and Nirvana Wellbeing Retreat we are here for you.
