MANGATA /ˈmo:ŋˌga:ta/ noun

A Swedish term for  the glimmering  road-like  reflection of the moon on water. It is both real and a mirage. Deeply personal and also communal. The soulful moments of life are this way, too. Let us curate more of them together.

GATHERINGS

The purpose of MANGATA is to bring people together to inspire soulful living. We understand that Nature gives us regular times of rest and reflection—dusk, Sundays, the new moon, changes in the season—and our gatherings take place at the powerful intersections of these sacred times. Through communal pondering, movement balanced by stillness, ritual and learning, and always delicious food and laughter, we are able to explore new terrains, make new discoveries, and ultimately find new meanings for our lives.

TEA

Legend has it that tea was discovered in ancient China when the wind blew a leaf into the cup of Emperor Shen Nung while he was meditating under the shade of a tea tree.

OIL

The essential oil Bergamot, which smells like sunshine, is made by expressing the peel of the fruit of the small tree, Citrus bergamia, which grows in Southern Italy, France, and Turkey.

PONDER

Spyhop is a behavior exhibited by cetaceans, such as whales, when they come to the water’s surface to get a good look around. What do you see when you rise up?

ABODE

The littlest touches matter. Placing a handmade basket on your bedside table or desk infuses a personal space with depth and meaning.

GROW

Nature’s wisdom: “Bloom where you are planted.”
 

DESIGN

One of the six elements of design is contrast. Contrast between colors, between shapes. These opposing structures, however, create balance and harmony in their differences.
