Sadly a long time friend of the centre, Ness Mack, passed away peacefully on Thursday 20 February.
Many of you will remember Ness for her skills as a Shiatsu masseuse often helping people with her skill and kindness as well as her knowledge of alternative therapies and remedies.
She regularly attended courses at the centre, volunteered and joined many a working bee here planting trees, gardening and helping the centre.
Following her request for "prayers not tears", the centre performed a Medicine Buddha Puja and extensive prayers for her on Sunday afternoon.
We'll miss her.
Please remember her in your prayers.
Thanks Nangsel.

Spring Shiatsu Retreat: Awaken Your Energy.

Experience the renewal of spring with our two-day Spring Shiatsu Massage Retreat, designed to help you connect with the Wood element in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Spring is a time of growth, movement, and new beginnings, governed by the Liver and Gallbladder meridians. Through focused bodywork and hands-on learning, you’ll explore the qualities of the Wood element—flexibility, creativity, and forward action—and learn how to harmonize these energies within yourself and others.

During this retreat, you’ll be guided to understand the seasonal shift and how it influences our physical and emotional well-being. You’ll gain practical experience in giving Shiatsu treatments aligned with spring energy, learning how to release tension and encourage the free flow of energy. By the end of the weekend, you’ll be able to share a 45-minute spring-inspired Shiatsu treatment with friends and family, supporting their renewal and growth, too. Join us and awaken your energy in harmony with the season!
