    Vedic Meditation Teacher Gary Gorrow on Designing Sacred Spaces

    In this transformative episode of our Sacred Spaces series, sponsored by King Living, we delve into the story of Gary Gorrow—renowned meditation teacher, Vedic master, and the visionary co-creator of Soma, a wellness retreat nestled in the Byron Bay hinterland. Soma is a sanctuary for healing and transformation, set across nine hectares of lush tropical countryside. Its design, a stunning collaboration between Gary, his brother and designer George Gorrow, and Balinese architect Rieky Sunur, seamlessly blends modern minimalism with Balinese influences. From the iconic geodesic yoga dome to the serene bamboo garden and lotus pond, Soma’s beauty serves as a perfect backdrop for mindfulness and connection. Gary’s own home, located on the Soma property, reflects the same ethos, with floor-to-ceiling windows that invite nature inside and create a deep sense of tranquility. It was in this space, with the rain falling outside and Gary’s cat Leopold purring nearby, that we sat down for this heartfelt conversation. Gary shares his journey from growing up on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, struggling with depression and burnout in his early career in film and TV production, to discovering meditation as a tool to heal his nervous system and change his mindset. He speaks about his “calling” to become a meditation teacher, working with A-list stars and CEOs, and the profound lessons he’s learned along the way. In this episode, Gary also provides practical insights into building a meaningful meditation practice and creating spaces that foster inner peace—lessons I’ve been applying in my own life with transformative results. With gratitude to our Season Three sponsor King Living, who share our belief that home is a sanctuary. Their innovative furniture designs and Sleep Collection prioritize wellness and adaptability, making your sacred spaces even more inviting. Don’t miss upcoming episodes where I share my own experience with King Living’s customisable mattresses in my Sleep Diary.

    Nagnata Founder Laura May Gibbs on Sustainability, Style, and Self-Care

    In today’s episode from our Sacred Spaces Series, sponsored by King Living, I sit down with the extraordinary Laura May Gibbs, the founder and creative visionary behind Nagnata, a Byron Bay-based sustainable fashion brand redefining the industry. We recorded this conversation in Nagnata’s flagship store in Byron Bay, a space that feels more like an art gallery than a retail shop. Designed in collaboration with the Pattern Studio, the store is a dreamscape of hand-carved timber pillars and curvaceous forms inspired by global architecture. It’s serene and soothing by day, but with LED lighting, it can transform into a vibrant and energetic space. In this intimate chat, Laura May opens up about her rebellious youth, her journey into yoga and bodywork, and the personal healing that shaped her career. We explore how she balances creativity with sustainability, the emotional challenges of running a purpose-led business, and the lessons she’s learned from staying true to her values in an ever-changing industry. Get ready for a conversation filled with inspiration, honesty, and a glimpse into the world of one of fashion’s most authentic innovators. With special thanks to our Season Three Sponsors⁠ King Living⁠. Like us at Beauticate, King Living believe that our home is our haven and they design furniture that is designed to change and flex as we do. Their sleep collection is a true example of innovation in the wellness space, and I’ve been lucky enough to do a road test of one of King Living’s beds and customisable mattress in my Sleep Diary.
