Create your own mala
Creating your own mala and embedding your mantra into it is a deeply personal and spiritual process, turning the mala into a powerful sacred talisman.
In essence, your mala becomes a tool of transformation—infused with your energy, intentions, blessed in the sacred waters of the land and energised with fire.
Soak up the magic of Sharda Centre
There are places of natural power upon the Earth. Sacred places. Places so full of energy that the moment you step onto them you can feel the magic. Natural power places are good for us, healing for us. They mirror the power within us, giving us a glimpse of our true nature.
Sharda Centre is such a place. Hidden at the end of an unassuming residential road in Tuakau, South Auckland it is a surprise to find such a place. The land is protected by wise ancient trees, cleansed by a sacred stream and the blessed by the guardians of the land.
It truly is a special place for Soul Tree Retreats!
