Daniel & Jyoti became caretakers of Divine Nature Sanctuary on April 1st, 2015. Inspired by many spiritual paths and the unconditional love and universal wisdom of Sri Sakthi Amma, we are dedicating this land to uplifting and transforming collective consciousness through devotion to Mother Nature and the Divine in all its forms and formlessness.
We do this by recognising the original ancestors, embodying the eternal wisdom of the Vedas, Bhakti Yoga practices and much more, so each of us can experience more peace, love and joy in life.
Through our time spent with Amma, we learn about the precious gift of life and the practice of devotion: bhakti yoga. We experience how devotion opens us up inside to an eternal stream of unconditional love. By connecting with this love in the depths of our hearts, a wish naturally arises to want to share it with the world. More about Sri Sakthi Amma please click below.
Daniel Rawson (B.Arts in Writing) is a Bhakti yogi and published author. His interest in spirituality began in his teens while studying a Physiotherapy degree. Through journeys in meditation, Zen, Yoga and Eastern mysticism, Daniel’s heart and mind have been awakened to the joy that spirituality offers in the many paths to Divine connection. Meeting Sri Shakti Amma in 2004, Daniel was inspired by the greatness and goodness of the Vedic path, loves to offer puja rituals for more world peace and joy. He helps run the Beloved Narayani charity and loves the potency of chanting in community.
ABOUT DIVINE NATURE SANCTUARY
Divine Nature Sanctuary is a spiritual centre set in some of Byron Shire hinterland’s most luscious Mother Nature. With rainforests, a stream with swimming holes, lush gardens, a yurt temple space and a healing room, Divine Nature is abundantly nourished by the land and all that is on offer.

The 17 acres of nature with its tranquil streams and niches for solitude and quiet contemplation, offer that soothing connection.
Divine Nature Sanctuary aligns itself with the vision that Nature is Divine, and that all beings have an inherent Divine Nature, as we immerse ourselves in nature we awaken to this consciousness, and so does all of humanity and our Mother Earth.
