MALU MAI WELLNESS PLACE 

Malu Mai Wellness Consultancy is embarking on a journey to establish a Wellness Place in Queensland, Australia on approximately 5 acres of land. Within this 5 acres, there will be a Wellness Retreat, a Traditional Knowledge Institute, and a Culturally safe space for Community. We are building a Food Forest and an organic community garden where we will grow vegetables, herbs, fruit trees, bush medicines and traditional food crops. Our cafe / community kitchen will provide guests with organic food grown in our garden.  

The establishment of a Wellness Place and Traditional Knowledge Institute has been my vision since commencing grassroots work as a social worker & Grief & Loss Counsellor in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community over 20 years ago. In addition, working at the coalface in the criminal justice system along with my PhD research with former incarcerated First Nations People have instilled in me a passion for change. This passion for change has compelled me to work towards creating healing initiatives in which to address the social, emotional, cultural, spiritual and psychological health and wellbeing of my People. 

Working one on one with First Nations Families and seeing firsthand the social, emotional, and psychological ill-health amongst my people was deeply heartbreaking and opened my eyes about what needed to be done to truly bring healing, wholeness and wellness back into the community. 

My vision is to establish a culturally safe place and to create a community where all the Rainbow coloured People of the World can come together in a spirit of Peace, Love, Respect, Acceptance and Harmony. In light of global violence, hatred and terrorism, it is my firm belief that the good people of the World need to rise up and promote goodness and peace to counteract the evil that exits in society. Therefore a place such as this is much needed for all humanity and in fact, we need these places all over the World; a haven for those who wish to embrace peace, kindness, love and goodness. My vision is to create a place where we can gather together as members of the human family with a spirit of Kindness and Respect for one another and for Mother Earth. 

In order to fulfill this vision, Malu Mai cannot do this alone, we call on the Power of the People to make it happen. We need the support of like-minded people to come and volunteer your time to help us build this place and be a part of this Global Peace Movement. 

Life time membership will be $160 for employed people and $80 for those who are pensioners, students or unemployed. Membership will entitle people to a concessional price for meals and accommodation and for participation at the our community events and initiatives.
