Our Beings
Every being here
has a story
A cow and her calf, five peacocks, a busy flock of poultry and the wild neighbours who share the land. They're family, and caring for them is part of how the centre heals.

Spend ten minutes with a calf or watch a peacock settle at dusk, and the mind slows down without being asked. Guests and volunteers help feed and care for the animals every day. For many, it's the part of their stay they remember most.
Kamadenu is the gentle heart of the centre, calm, patient and endlessly nurturing. Nandini, her calf, is the opposite: lively, playful and always up to something.
Five peacocks who bring grace to every corner of the grounds, and a surprising amount of noise at dawn. Each has their own temperament; the volunteers can tell them apart at a glance.
Guineafowl, hens, roosters and ducks: playful, chatty and fed three times a day.
Kangaroos, galahs, ringneck parrots, magpies and, if you’re quiet, a shy marsupial in the undergrowth. They aren't ours to keep: the centre protects the bush and river they live in, and guests get to watch them up close.
