SUMMARY:Spring Coming Home To Yourself with the Mana Team
DESCRIPTION:Come Home\nTo Yourself \nThrough daily guided yoga\, qi gong\, meditation\, and gentle practices that invite you inward \nTo A Sense Of Belonging \nThrough shared spaces\, meaningful connection\, and the warmth of a like-hearted community \nTo Nature \nThrough immersion in the beauty\, stillness\, and sacred land of Mana’s walking paths and surroundings \n\nStep away from your daily rhythm and arrive into a long weekend created to support your wellbeing.

The staff are incredibly warm and welcoming\, and the food is both nourishing and delicious. I’ve visited a number of times now and will continue to return. It’s a truly special environment—so thoughtfully cared for\, from the land itself to the food and the practices offered. I felt supported\, at ease\, and able to fully turn my attention inward. The facilitators were present and grounded\, creating space for genuine connection. A deeply restorative and meaningful weekend. \n\nWhat’s Included? \n\nThree nights accommodation\nBreakfast\, lunch\, and dinner – wholesome vegetarian meals\nA daily schedule of sessions suitable for all levels of experience\nTime to relax\, have a sauna\, bush bath or massage\n\nPlease note: the schedule may shift slightly across the weekend.  \nMassage appointments are available at an additional cost and can be booked in advance. \n \n\nIntroducing\n \nYour Teachers \nAmrit Saraswati is a dedicated student and teacher of yoga and meditation.
