Amir Yaffa (Gopala), Mullumbimby Creek
As Founders and Director of Rainbow Yoga, a family-run business training yoga teachers in kids, partner and community yoga, I’m writing here to support Mark Franklyn’s endeavour to build a vegan camping ground, spa, and yoga and meditation retreat in Mullumbimby.
Both Mark Franklyn and us share a vision of making this world a better place by bringing conscious living and relating to as many people as we can. We have seen the wonderful effects that our unique social, interactive and playful yoga has on people and communities, and especially on the future generation, and its power to connect people and bring us all closer together with kindness and love.
We, Mark Franklyn and us, want to share our passion for this transformation of the world from the inside out with as many people as we can, and we believe that creating a physical space for it in Mullumbimby, one of the leading hubs for personal and social transformation in Australia, will be a great aid in this.
I have visited Mark’s property and have listened, read and viewed the plans he proposes and I can see many benefits in them for our community, bringing even more life and prosperity to our beautiful town.
As a company that runs over 100 teacher trainings and retreats a year and have trained over 20,000 yoga teachers all around the world, I find it hard to find locations big enough and affordable enough in our area to run them. Mark’s vision is to create a space that will comfortably accommodate groups such as mine and will have a variety of budget options for those seeking transformation and evolution.
Mark’s plans to have ample parking at the retreat, and the proximity of the location to Mullum center, five minutes’ walk, will help to make the town bustle with life without having more cars in town. Mark told me he also plans to have bicycles available for the retreat guests for this purpose.
We are here to make Mullumbimby better and brighter than ever, and we hope you can be a part of this vision with us by supporting Mark Franklyn project.
