Upcoming Events

Monday

10:45 - 12:00 PM     Meditation Class
Ease into your week with a guided group meditation held in the peaceful surrounds of the Compassion Temple. These sessions offer a mix of stillness, breath awareness, and occasional short readings from spiritual texts. We offer lifts from outside Nimbin, making it accessible to all. Please call Jagad to organise a lift.​

Wednesday

9:00 - 11:00 AM        Practical Permaculture lessons
Come and get your hands in the soil with Bodhi, our resident permaculture mentor and earth whisperer. These mornings are an open invitation to learn practical skills in food growing, composting, plant propagation, and regenerative design—all while immersed in the beauty of the Flourish gardens.

Thursday

9:30 - 10:30 AM    Sound healing with Michael
Join sound therapist Michael in a gentle hour of vibrational realignment using crystal bowls, digeridoo, voice, and silence. This is a nurturing, deeply restorative space, allowing your body and nervous system to release tension and find harmony. Mats, bolsters, and blankets are provided—just come as you are.

Friday

10:30 - 11:30 AM     Yogic Philosophy (bookings essential 0433 173 508)

Saturday

This signature Saturday session is a rich blend of gentle yoga, devotional singing (kirtan), and deep group meditation. It’s an uplifting, heart-centred experience that brings together physical movement, emotional expression, and sacred silence.

First Saturday of the Month - 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM – Kirtan (entry by donation)

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. They are welcoming spaces to ask the big questions, rest in the unknown, and experience spiritual community.
​May 11th (second Sunday)
1:00 - 3:00 PM Satsang with Jagad at Swami Parabodhi's in Mullumbimby place followed by a potluck meal.

May 18th (third Sunday)
1:00 - 3:00 PM Satsang with Jagad at Flourish in Nimbin followed by a potluck meal.

​🌱 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.

  • ​Get involved with Wwoofing

Flourish Sanctuary exists primarily to serve the people of our community. 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. If you can make a donation to support our purpose then please click here.

Picture
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.
