The Raft of Life
Just Imagine...
Being part of a flotilla of Rafts
each guided by intention
moving toward a future where we consciously create good health for ourselves, our families, and our environment
Step onto a Raft
Reconnect with the heart of Mother Earth
Cultivate new beginnings

Welcome to The Raft of Life
The Raft of Life began as a vision in 1987 - a quiet but unwavering knowing that humanity must rediscover its place within nature, not apart from it.
I saw individuals reconnecting with the greater whole - restoring balance between body, mind, emotion, spirit, and the living earth itself.
Our existence depends on this reconnection.
- The Raft of Life is both a space and a way of living
- A place for discovery, transformation, and renewal
- A journey that honours your individuality while recognising our shared responsibility
Living in Rhythm
Life moves in cycles.
Birth. Growth. Love. Loss. Renewal.
Nature demonstrates this rhythm effortlessly, and we are not separate from it. As we move through our own seasons, we begin to recognise the peaks and troughs of our personal journey as part of a greater pattern.
At The Raft of Life, we explore this through the wisdom of the four seasons:
-
Spring — Beginnings
-
Summer — Full Bloom
-
Autumn — Transformation
-
Winter — Reflection
Each season carries specific energies required to balance and enhance life force.
When we honour rhythm, we restore coherence - within ourselves and within our environment.
A Vision Shaped by Experience
Decades of exploring sacred spaces, diverse cultures, and energetic systems have revealed one unifying truth:
Vibration matters.
- The words we speak
- The food we eat
- The thoughts we cultivate
- The choices we repeat
Ancient wisdom and modern science are not opposing forces - they are complementary guides.
My mission became clear:
- To co-create spaces for inner and outer discovery
- To rekindle connection to Earth through self-responsibility and education
- To facilitate genuine transformation
- To inspire experiential living that engages the human spirit
The 13 Compartments
The Raft of Life logo carries more meaning than first meets the eye.
Hidden within it are 13 distinct compartments - intentionally designed.
Thirteen spaces reflecting the many layers of human life.
Each compartment is an invitation:
-
To pause
-
To reflect
-
To release outdated identities
-
To loosen inherited labels
-
To gently un-name what no longer fits
-
To consciously re-create from awareness
This is not about becoming someone new.
It is about remembering who you were before the noise -
and choosing, with clarity, how you now colour your own life raft.
There is no perfect palette.
Only your lived experience.
Your awareness.
Your next choice.
So the question becomes:
How will you colour your life raft?
The Collective Journey
Each individual journey creates a pathway for others.
Each experience contributes to a shared field of awareness.
Each Raft is formed around intention - whether for a brief season or a long-term vision such as restoring land, rebuilding ecosystems, or guiding human potential.
I acknowledge my first Raft crew - Lyndi, Nicole, Rod, Lora, and Diane — whose support shaped the early journey. Diane has since transitioned from this earthly plane, and her contribution remains woven into the fabric of this vision.
The circle now expands with Ren and Madie - and will continue to grow.
The Invitation
The Rafts are ready.
If something within you recognises this rhythm -
if you feel the quiet nudge toward reconnection -
I invite you to step aboard.
Connect with me
Let’s begin a conversation.
Yours in Health and Happiness

Kind Words
Sandy has a unique combination of skills and attributes that make her the go-to person for health and wellness. The learning she delivers at her events cuts through all the rhetoric and cliche so typical of the health industry. She presents practical strategies and scientifically proven research to give her audience ways to make genuine improvements in their well being. Her care and compassion is the glue that holds it all together though. Sandy is dedicated to supporting people in their journey towards wholeness. Highly recommended.
