The Lotus Centre,
initially created by Meranda Squires, encourages personal practice and
spiritual community. The Lotus Centre provides services in yoga,
meditation, chanting, mind clearing communication techniques, Thai
Massage, Yoga Teacher Training and Yoga Enlightenment Studies programs, Natural Health and Vegetarian Cleansing Diets and state-of-the-art Enlightenment Intensive Retreats.
The Lotus Centre is expanding and now has embraced The Tree Of Life Retreat Centre owned by Ian Goudie, which is under development in Salmonier, St.
Mary’s Bay, Newfoundland.
Ian
has
been manifesting a centre based on sacred geometry of the mystical
Kabbalah. In alignment with the shifting planetary consciousness, the
objective is to provide a sacred place in Nature for participants to
experience sustainable, and self- sufficient lifestyles while
deepening their spiritual practice. The Centre is now open to
community participants to help build the Tree of Life Retreat and groom
the surrounding grounds.
Meranda Squires grew up in the
Ferryland lighthouse on the East Coast
of Newfoundland, Canada. Meditation, dance and creativity were
naturally
inspired by the surroundings of the open and spacious habitat, and her
artistic parents, Gerald and Gail Squires. In 1983, Meranda traveled to
India and stayed for seventeen years to pursue an in depth study of
Meditation, Yoga and Vedant philosophy. She returned in 2000 to
establish her spiritual centre. The Lotus Centre and The Gerald Squires
Fine Art Gallery are located at 52 Prescott Street in St.
John’s, Newfoundland. Meranda is certified
as a teacher of Advanced Studies in Yog Sciences, Vedant Philosophy and
the Theory and Practice of Meditation, a SomaYoga Instructor, a
Thai-yoga bodywork practitioner, an Enlightenment Master, a Mind
Clearer and
Counselor.
Ian Goudie,
Ph.D. is a musician, sound therapist and an environmental
scientist. He is a native Newfoundlander with a thorough knowledge
