The first holistic community centre in Paramaribo. Meditation, moon circles, ecstatic dance, yoga, healing ceremonies and an organic shop — held in ceremonial space by Gail Kersout.
Everyone is welcome to walk in during opening hours. Come by for a tea, browse the organic shop, or simply feel the space. No appointment needed.
Where the inner and outer worlds meet
Blue Lotus Holistic Centre is a sanctuary for remembering. A place where the rhythms of the moon, the breath of the earth, and the heart of community come together. All evolving souls are welcome here — to gather, to heal, to dance, to be still.
“The zen attitude towards life, it accepts all that is.. Zen is a way of living, laughter, All in balance”

About →The Magic of the Blue Lotus
The Blue Lotus (Nymphaea caerulea) has been revered across ancient wisdom traditions — from Egypt and India to the Maya — as a symbol of awakening, rebirth and the soul's quiet journey toward the light.
Egypt
Associated with rebirth, creation and the sun god Ra — symbolizing the soul's journey into the afterlife.
India
Known as the Sacred Blue Lily of the Nile — revered as a symbol of spiritual enlightenment, purity and divine beauty.
Buddhism
In Buddhist art the lotus represents transcendence — the rising of the heart above earthly attachments.
Mayan Tradition
Depicted in Mayan artwork as a sacred ceremonial flower — hinting at ancient cultural exchange across continents.
“The lotus rises through dark water and opens its petals to the sun. This is the prayer of our centre.”
Held in circle, woven in community
Real moments from our ceremonies — meditations, sound baths, healing circles and the everyday sacred.
Live by the moon
Our ceremonies follow the moon's quiet pulse — new moons for intention, full moons for release. Trace tonight's phase and the gates between.
This live moon journal is our shared sky-clock. Glance at it before joining a circle — it tells you which energy we are gathering with: the dark, fertile silence of the new moon, the building light of the waxing days, the fullness of release, or the quiet integration of the waning gates.
Organic Shop
Local Surinamese herbs, oils, teas, crystals, and handmade pieces — chosen to support your practice and the community that creates them.
