Sunday

Satsang means “gathering in truth.” These monthly sessions involve chanting, shared inquiry, and spiritual teachings inspired by lived experience and other spiritual traditions including Advaita Vedanta.

​🌱 Working Bee – Saturday, May 10th
Bring your gloves, tools (if you have them), and willing spirit. We’ll be working together in the gardens, around the temple spaces, and on small repairs—sharing stories, snacks, and songs as we go. Whether you stay for an hour or the whole day, your presence makes a difference. The land responds to love in action, and these gatherings are at the heart of community life at Flourish.
 
🧙‍♀️ The Grail Retreat – May 23rd to 26th
This special retreat explores the archetype of the Green Man—. Over four days, participants will journey inward through ritual and sacred circle work. Held in the tranquil spaces of the Compassion Temple and surrounded by the forests of Flourish, the retreat invites a deep remembrance of inner sovereignty and the sacred feminine and masculine within.
 
🙏 Thanks to our people
We thank Bodhi and our crew of incredible WWOOFers: Miyo from Osaka, Jasmin from Germany, and Elena and Miranda from California. Their joyful energy brings life to the gardens and the hearth. If you're interested in WWOOFing with us, we’d love to hear from you—there’s always space for helping hands and open hearts.
 
Safe travels to GuruDev as he takes a brief journey to New Zealand and shares his wisdom. We wish you safe and healing travels.
 
Big thanks and farewells to Lucia, whose presence blessed us all – we hope you’ll return. And warm thanks to Raff, Angus, and Alana who visited us from Victoria—your presence was a gift.
 
Congratulations to our dear friend Robin, completed a ten-day Vipassana retreat - an extraordinary feat of spiritual growth, silent meditation and inner observation. May the insights he gained ripple through his life and ours.
 
Finally, Jagad is back on the airwaves with his radio show on NimFM every Monday from 7:30 to 9:00 AM. Tune in for stories, music, and spiritual reflections from the hilltops of Nimbin.

To date, we have proudly not taken any government grants or corporate money and are totally independently funded. Everybody who works on the property is an unpaid volunteer apart from our cleaner, but they do get to live on this sacred land. Black Sheep Farm and Compassion Temple are operated by volunteers of Flourish Sanctuary. Our purpose is people, not profits.

We believe this world is for everyone regardless of spiritual beliefs, gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnicity or species. ​We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we gather, the Bundjalung people, and pay our respects to their Elders past, present, and emerging. We recognise their continuing connection to land, water, and community, and we support their ongoing efforts towards self-determination and sovereignty.
