Altered States gift

Many of us have become out of balance; in life, in modern society, within our bodies and out of sync with nature and it’s seasons. Each season carries it’s own unique energy. Autumn, the season of harvest and gratitude, marks a time of transformation after Summer. It's a period to slow down, reflect, rest, and reset, mirroring the natural world as we embrace the shift to the darker half of the year. Sunday 22nd September is the Autumn Equinox, join us to align with the natural energies of the season. It’s the ideal time to reconnect with yourself and develop practices that deeply nourish both body and mind.

Through a combination of individual and communal elements designed to bring you back to a state of balance, we will help you to:

Feel soothed, held and grounded

Boost your physical and mental health

Be nourished by seasonal food and drinks

Go deeper, by guiding your body into it’s parasympathetic nervous system (healing) state

Have the potential to begin to rewire, relearn and release stuck emotions

Join us as we explore ways to nurture and support ourselves as we transition towards winter, fostering a sense of balance and well-being that endures through the colder months and beyond. A chance to soothe your nervous system, connect with the energy of autumn and restore your sense of Equilibrium.
