Our first weekend off after what feels like forever, and what a fantastic way to spend it! ☀️🎶

A huge thank you to Summer Streets Festival for an incredible day. From the atmosphere to the music, everything was absolutely on point.

It was my first time watching SWINDLED perform, and you were brilliant! Ruth Lyon, your performance was beautiful—I absolutely loved your music. The brass band was perfect. And thank you to for continuing to champion such outstanding talent. Every act we watched was exceptional.

Despite the windy conditions, the main stage kept the crowds entertained all day, creating an atmosphere full of energy, laughter and great music.

Thank you to everyone who made today so memorable. If you haven’t been yet, tomorrow is the final day, so don’t miss the chance to experience it for yourself. Go along and enjoy every moment! ✨🎉🎶☀️🎺

It’s already a week since our first Summer Solstice event ✨

☀️ Celebrating the Summer Solstice with NamasteNima ☀️

The longest day of the year called for something special, and what better way to welcome the sunrise than with a freshly prepared Indian breakfast by the sea!

Our Summer Solstice breakfast menu featured:
🥔 Traditional Maharashtrian-Poha
🌯 Fresh omelette wraps made to order
☕ Authentic Masala Chai
🌿 Fresh herbs, spices, and vibrant flavours that nourish both body and soul

As the sun rose over the coastline, we shared warm food, good conversation, and a taste of India with our local community. There is something magical about starting the day with wholesome, freshly cooked food and a beautiful sunrise.

As always it was great to work in collaboration with Gary Lee Walker 𓃬 Inner Engineer | Space holder and H3O Beach Saunas

Thank you for choosing an Indian breakfast at this event!

Golden Horizon didn’t disappoint. 🌅

What an epic morning celebrating the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year, and the turning point of the seasons.

A massive thank you to everyone who set their alarms and joined us before sunrise. There’s something special about gathering in the early morning and welcoming the sun together.

Thank you to Tove Crossland for the beautiful cacao ceremony, Martin BeeMaan for tending the fire, Bruce the Bard for the powerful fire ceremony, H3O Beach Saunas for bringing the heat, and NamasteNima for the delicious Indian breakfast wraps and chai.

And thank you to everyone who brought their energy, presence, and open hearts. You made the morning what it was.

Keep shining bright! ✨

✨ Spices, Wellness & Tradition ✨

Did you know that many of the spices we use every day have been valued for centuries for their connection to health and wellbeing?

From warming cinnamon and fragrant cardamom to cloves, black pepper, turmeric, fennel and star anise, Indian spices are more than just flavour – they are deeply rooted in traditional wellness practices and mindful living.

At NamasteNima, I love sharing the stories and cultural significance behind these incredible ingredients, whether through cooking demonstrations, workshops, chai experiences or community events.

If you’d like to learn more about the benefits of spices, how to use them in everyday cooking, or would be interested in a spice and wellbeing workshop for your group, workplace or community organisation, I’d love to hear from you.
