Mandala Integrative Health Centre - the Story

In March 2024, a new healing space was birthed in Sedgefield called Mandala Integrative Health Centre. It's a dream Anuska Viljoen has had that's been more than two decades in the making. 

25 years ago, when she was living and working in the UK, she happened to visit Findhorn in Scotland. It had a dramatic and long-lasting effect on her because it challenged her conventional mind-set and opened her up to viewing life in a completely different way that deeply resonated within her and made perfect sense. It was a place that felt like home! Everything was integrated and viewed as a whole, so everything, be it animals, plants, people or the environment at large, ALL was treated with love and respect, because no matter what, all was sentient and connected, including all things seen and unseen.

Being a highly sensitive empath in a challenging world, Anuska found dealing with serious animal injuries and abuse took its toll on her. She also discovered how much the animal she was treating, and their human were connected. Few people could explain this, but at Findhorn she came to understand the connections. She then incubated the idea of creating a healing centre herself for people, animals and the earth when she returned to South Africa.

However, after returning to South Africa, Anuska faced many obstacles in trying to implement her vision. It has taken two decades to bring it to fruition, to find people willing to collaborate with her, to share the dream and make it a reality. Only now, almost 20 years after she came back to South Africa with this plan, is her idea finally in the process of materialising.

The Mandala Integrative Health Centre Logo

The Mandala Logo has been thoughtfully and creatively designed to embody everything the centre wants to represent. For people to live and work in harmony with their natural environment and, by all means available to them, learn and aspire to dwell in the vibratory resonance of love, joy, peace, compassion, healing, and gratitude. To allow and accept all spiritual paths and to tend the garden, collectively  and constructively, instead of wrecking destruction, pain and suffering by fighting over the turf.

The sun's golden light radiating from the centre of the lotus heart is a symbol of spiritual awakening. The 16 dark petals and 16 light petals are sacred numbers tapping into source energy and transmuting it to healing through the resilient crystal.

The eight-sided amethyst crystal introduces sacred geometry into the mandala. Its crystalline form resonates with our spiritual being and has the power to detoxify and spiritually awaken masses of people to a higher level of consciousness.

 The aqua-blue tear-drop is the symbol of pure water. Structured, energised water is the basis of all health and energy medicines such as homeopathy, which is a whole system modality. All medicine of the future will be in the form of high vibrational energy.

Ever-changing flowing forms of yin and yang envelope the amethyst and water in colours of higher realms ranging from blue to purple. They also encompass the colours of cyan, indigo, magenta and violet in-between them to draw in healing rays of light.

The butterfly-like wings at the base enfold the essence of the mandala in a gentle flow of ever-changing capacity to experience profound aspects of growth, co-creation, integration and harmony.

New at Mandala Integrative Health, Jean Paul is excited to be offering Chi Nei Tsang abdominal detox massages and Ayurveda consultations from there!

Gut health is key to our wellbeing at every level,  and when it is poor, disease manifests. The key function of the microbiome in maintaining good health is at the core of Ayurveda, while Chi Nei Tsang (CNT) helps to unfold the process of self healing. Ayurveda works primarily with changes in lifestyle, diet and habits, while CNT is a deep form of somatic release. Both of these holistic modalities are therefore complimentary while being non-toxic and non-invasive.

First designated as UN-Habitat Best Practice model for holistic and sustainable living in 1998, the Findhorn Ecovillage was re-designated 20 years later in 2018 featuring in the UN database as a synthesis of some of the very best of current thinking on sustainable human settlements.

The Findhorn Foundation, embedded in the ecovillage site, is a constantly evolving model, being used as a learning environment by a number of university and school groups, as well as by professional organisations and municipalities worldwide. Through various educational programmes and activities, including the Ecovillage Experience Week, the Permaculture Design Course and Ecovillage Design, the Findhorn Foundation is actively supporting the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Thousands of learners over the years have been inspired by experiencing firsthand how to create and nurture community through song, dance and communal activities – from welcoming conflict as an invitation to intimacy, consensus decision-making, skillful and compassionate communication, to celebrating phases of life aligned to natural cycles.

A myriad of ecological design-related programmes offered over the years includes Listening to Nature in the redesign of our human presence on the planet; Building Schools prototyping the first green building techniques in the UK; Permaculture Design Certificates offered in the verdant Cullerne Gardens and associated growing sites. Visitors have also come to learn how to develop thriving local economies within planetary boundaries.

All programmes are deeply rooted in the unique philosophy encapsulated in the community’s guiding practices: Inner Listening, Co-creation with the Intelligence of Nature, and Work as Love in Action.

BEMER stands for Bio-Electro-Magnetic-Regulation. Damaged organisms experience a decrease in micro- circulation causing atrophy, scar tissue and decreased function in the area.
The painless, non-invasive action of the BEMER improves nutrient and oxygen absorption to a damaged organism, while at the same time, promoting the excretion of metabolic waste whereby  damaged functions are normalised and self-healing powers are activated.
The application of the BEMER counteracts injuries  and also helps to prevent injuries due to imprudent strains, lack of exercise and environmental stress. A lot of chronic disease  and degeneration can be attributed to poor microcirculation to some areas of the body .
