Ananda Marga holds the annual Ananda Mela festival at its Ananda Palli property in Severnlea. The festival promotes health and wellbeing by celebrating cultural diversity and providing space for local health practitioners, artists and activists to present their work.

Examples include Permaculture and organic gardening workshops, writers workshops, promotion of co-operative and social enterprise, de-tox retreats...

Started in early 2014, we welcome anyone interested in Permaculture and its 3 core ethics - Earth Care, People Care, and Fair Share - along with the 12 Design Principles about how to do this.
