"Mantras On Tahiti" And Yummy Vego / Vegan Dinner

Welcome 

To our new event. The first one will be on Thursday May 1st. Hope to see you then. For more details on "Mantras On Tahiti" keep reading. 
Greetings to those who already know about the DEVINE benefits of singing meditations (traditionally known as Kirtan) AND welcome also to new comers who would like to learn about and take part in this beautiful, ancient, scientifically based process.
This timeless practice is the perfect antidote for modern day society which sadly appears to be synonymous with struggle, stress, chaos and toxic living conditions.
This is an amazing gift passed to us by past and present self realised yoga masters, free of charge. A brilliant technique to help us uncover our spiritual essence and connect us with the Supreme. Authentic mantras also come with attractive side benefits. They help bring us into balance, help us to relax, refocus, find our center and simply let go of anxiety and life's challenges.
We invite you to come reconnect spiritually, nourish your inner being, experience heartfelt joy, harmony and happiness. Sit, or dance, breathe and listen carefully, whilst becoming deeply absorbed in the powerful transcendent sound of liberating, ancient, soulful mantras. You then have the opportunity to sing in response. Repeating meditations that uncover your pure spiritual essence, naturally.
There is nothing to join. This is a totally non-sectarian way of uniting all sentient beings, on a journey of self discovery, a pathway paved with beautiful mystical mantras.
No special skills required, no previous experience needed, this practice is suitable for everyone.
Om Hari Om
Peace to all living beings

Mouth Melties - No baking, no fuss, delicious

Mouth Melties
Peanut Butter Cacao Fudge

A Fast Silky Delish Treat. No baking. No fuss. Just blend, chill, slice and serve.

Creamy peanut butter ripple with rich coconut oil peanut butter fudge. Hints of banana, maple and cinnamon too. Crunchy raw cacao nibs on top and a thin layer of soft hemp seeds as the crust.

Makes about 9 squares

  • 1 cup + 1 Tbsp unrefined coconut oil, virgin organic cold-pressed (measure at room temperature state - fluffy form, not melted)
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter, organic salted at room temperature (or warm to soften)
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 banana
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp salt (dash)

Crust: 1/4 - 1/2 cup organic hemp seeds (available health food shops) OR combine the hemp with ground almonds if you want a thicker more solid crust.

Topping:

  • 1-2 heaped Tbsp creamy peanut butter, add a little water and mix into a liquidy drizzle-able state
  • 1-2 tbsp raw cacao nibs

Directions:

1. Add all the ingredients to a blender (high speed works best.)
2. Blend until smooth and creamy.
3. Spread (crust) hemp seeds over bottom of a deep square glass dish ( approx,. 18cm or a bit bigger).
4. Pour the blended mixture over the top of the hemp seeds.
5. Drizzle the peanut butter topping over the mixture. Swirl it with a toothpick to make a pretty design if you want. Sprinkle the cacao nibs over top.
6. Place dish in freezer for about 15-20 minutes - or until the center of the mixture has firmed - enough to slice into bars. This may take longer or shorter depending on how thick your bars are. If you are not serving the bars for a few hours you can just store the bars in the fridge.
