About Soraya


Soraya tampuraI was born in Brisbane Australia in 1960, and as a child grew up in rural Queensland and the Northern Territory. Perhaps this is why I developed an awe and drawing toward nature, the ocean and the bush have always been places of communion for my soul. I was spared any formal religion as a child, being in the forest was how I felt close to my God. At the age of 21 disillusioned with the responsibilities and stress of the world I left it in the formal sense, donned orange robes and spent 8 years living a yogic lifestyle and teaching yoga & meditation in Satyananda Ashrams. This is where I developed my love for the tonal sanskrit language, mantra and chant.  This time instilled in me great self discipline and dedication to a balanced lifestyle, and higher purpose, however with the desire for a family and the understanding that I now needed to experience what I had learned in the Big Wide World I  left ashram life. Since then I have continued exploring  the quest of humanity for happiness, health and mental peace. My exploration has led me to travel and to study naturopathy, nutrition, reiki and spiritual healing and holistic living. I now put all these skills together and offer a balanced holistic and Intuitive approach to health, healing and the quest to attain moksha - liberation from all that keeps us bound to pain on any level of our being.
Music is the universal language of the soul and I encourage others to set their inhibitions aside and sing with an open heart. With regular Kirtan gatherings here at Mandala we sing together with an open heart sharing time with like minded friends.
It has been my great privilage  in recent years to work with Terry my husband and dearest friend who’s musical ability is both profound and inspiring. Through private consultations, yoga classes, workshops and retreats we offer our tools for transformation.
