A Grounded Community Project for Nature-based Living, Creativity & Mindfulness
We offer a local connection and support online and though our events in Melbourne and the Surf Coast. We are a democratic community dedicated to slowing down, embodying presence and creativity, and weaving a nature-based vision into a powerful, collective groundswell. We believe that true growth happens when inner clarity (eco-consciousness) is paired with wise, outer action (community and land-based principles). The KNRD community is a collaborative network opening itself up to emerging ideas, creativity in all its expressions, thought leadership, spirituality and culture-making.
We acknowledge the indigenous ancestors of the Kulin nations, our own ancestral lineage and the wise elder teachers and Buddha's teachings and philosophy, along with the western philosophies and spiritual practices that have nurtured us and helped us be here today. We are creating a diverse community for the common purpose and generous sharing of skills, intelligence and support on common ground in Wurundjeri Country (Melbourne) and the Gadubanud Country (Surf Coast).
