NATURE TIME
Is your mind and body craving the freedom of being immersed in Nature? It has been proven that there are numerous physical, mental, and emotional benefits from being in nature. It calms your nervous system, reduces stress, and boosts your immune system. Being in nature is a wonderful place to connect to your present moment experience in an expansive mindful way.
Celebrate your connection with the natural world with time in the garden at Nirvana Wellbeing Retreat. Find yourself in our organic garden, with dirt on your hands, wind in your hair, sun and smile in your face. Our kitchen love helpers to harvest hours before serving. Our gardeners love help planting seedlings, mulching with love, weeding and getting beds ready for the next season.
Come and join us for some Nature time on our 70 acres of organic hinterland beauty. ๐ฟ๐ณ Follow the link in our bio for all our retreats for 2026 - yoga, ayurveda, silent meditation, cooking and more.
โNature is autonomous. She lives, moves and grows without us being involved.
Almost everything that happens on our planet can happen without us being involved.
The trees will continue growing.
Animals and plants will continue breathing.
The grass in your garden, the shrubs in your neighbourhood, the mountains, the ocean, the food we eat: everything is and comes from nature.
And this is what ultimately connects us with our core.
Run some earth through your fingers.
Mix some leaves and twigs in the soil.
Think about what went into that branch, that leaf, the soil.
The leaf came off a tree, that needed soil, water to grow.
The wind blows through her connecting branches and her face touched the sun every day.
The tree needs the sun and the wind,
and everything that connects our entire planetary system to live.
Itโs as if you are touching a whole system, feeling it, observing it, understanding it, loving your relationship with nature.โ
