Nature, the whole of it , is a continous ceremony, a marriage, a feast. Guests go on changing, but the feast continues; the feast never stops for a single moment. Singers change, but the song remains. Except for man nature is always in ecstasy.

Sandesh Heinicke & Anando Kirsch
Mana Soulfood is like one more child that we birthed and care for. It is our participation in the active care for the earth and our community. We walk our talk together- with evermore vitality ,wonder, gratefulness and joy.
We bring the shared essence of what we have learnt through our life journeys into Mana Soulfood – the soul work and the healing. Food as medicine, intimate connection to plants and herbal studies, Osho’s guidance and love and his meditations, sweat lodges and medicine wheels as well as the creative Arts . This creates our unique blend of offerings.With our work and our products we contribute to the global paradigm shift and invite in the REVOLUTION OF THE HEART.
We feel connected to the peaceful Waitaha Tribe, which lived here for a thousand years. They were a tribe of people from all skin colours who gathered as a ‘rainbow’ from all around the earth.
We believe a circle completes again and is calling for the gathering of the rainbow tribe today , fulfilling the prophesies in entering the foreseen golden time, leaving the patriarchic times behind and starting to live in nature with nature as caretakers again .
To us it feels like our medicine came in with a clear purpose for these times when it is needed so much. Our Chakra Spray Range was developed late 2019 and with a synergy of hydrosol and our own flower essences supports in realigning emotionally and mentally instantaneously , bringing the light in these very challenging times.
Alongside our practice and market stalls, we offer meditation classes and workshops at our home, at festivals and in community centres.

,About Anando:
Anando is a pipe-carrier for sweat lodge ceremonies which he holds around New Zealand.
He developed Tree Workshops in Germany, introducing people to a number of ancient trees which he clearly perceived as ‘standing people’, each with certain roles and characters.
Anando has gained a deep understanding about the laws of nature and the language embedded in it. He calls it healing with the Archetypes (a different definition which has similarities to but is not to be equated to the Jungian understanding.)
Anando explains Archetypes as parts of, or symbolic manifestations, in nature which are deeply interlinked with our ancient cell memory as humans. In this use of the word sheep wool is an archetype, as is an open fire.
These archetypes can counteract the confusion and disconnectedness of modern life.
Anando offers Soul Health Coaching, Maya Tarot Sessions, Drum Journeys and Sweat Lodges.
