samaya ashram

Dissolve...

"Walk, with awareness. Eat, with awareness. Breathe, with awareness."

Discover harmony

"Happiness is a shadow of harmony; it follows harmony. There is no other way to be happy."

Find the path

"The feminine is more powerful than the masculine, the soft is more powerful than the hard, the water is more powerful than the rock."

Meditation

"The modern mind has lost all capacity to wonder, to look into the mysterious, into the miraculous - because it thinks it knows."

Let go...

"All that is great cannot be possessed - and that is one of the most foolish things man goes on doing. We want to possess.."

Awareness...

"Awareness is the greatest alchemy there is. Just go on becoming more and more aware, and you will find great fulfillment."

Grounds & Nature

Skyline at Samaya AshramWe situated high in the hills, with 100 acres of sub-tropical forest leading to a creek and swimming hole. The variety of flora and fauna is stunning, the air pure.

At breakfast, wallabies chew casually just a few feet from us, kookaburras cry - there's even a rogue peacock who comes to spend the summer months here! At night the cicadas, crickets and frogs fill the air with song and the stars are smeared thick across the sky.

In tandem with the naturally occuring beauty of this place are the myriad ways in which people have expressed their creativity over the years. This includes a mandala garden, sacred laybrinth walk, awesome treehouse...

A short drive from the Ashram we can (and do!) enjoy the spectacular Minyon Falls and the Night Cap National Park with many kilometres of bush walks and fascinating wildlife. The famous Byron Bay beaches are only 40mins drive from the Ashram, while this region is also one of the world's pre-eminent centres of sustainable living.

But those are words. Here are pictures...
