Trauma Release Exercise Workshop

This workshop is designed to provide space to explore TRE®.  This body based practice safely activates a natural reflex mechanism of shaking, or vibrating, that releases muscular tension, calming down the nervous system.  When this shaking/vibrating mechanism is activated in a safe and controlled environment, the body is encouraged to return back to a state of balance.  

Singing Bowl Sound Bath

We open the practice by grounding and feeling into our bodies. A gentle heart coherence breathing practice will help us to drop out of the head and connect as a group. Lying down in a supported Savasana you will be taken on a journey of sound with Himalayan and Crystal Singing bowls. We will take time at the end to ground ourselves again before leaving.

Summer solstice Wellbeing Ceremony (Litha)

Seasonal Ceremonies with Lourdes Orozco are an opportunity to connect with nature's cycles. When we connect our inner world to the outer world, we gain access to our inner wisdom, peace and truth and in turn receive clarity and certainty at times when we might feel lost and disconnected. In Seasonal Ceremonies, Lourdes will create a space to enable, facilitate and grow our listening, feeling and sensing the cyclical messages offered by nature as an invitation to connect to the wisdom within ourselves.

5Rhythms® Waves Workshop

An introduction to 5Rhythms® Waves with Ben Deutsch
Want to move more freely, more consciously, more joyfully? This evening workshop with accredited 5Rhythms® teacher Ben Deutsch will be a space to re-connect with our bodies and to offer ourselves the freedom we crave. Using some simple exercises, well chosen music, intuition, and a dash of humour, Ben will hold space for the group to move individually and together.

Through movement, we will explore qualities of fluidity, clarity, surrender, ease and presence.

No dance experience required. All life experiences welcomed.

LGBT History Month - what now?

LGBT History Month is almost over and once again it has been wonderful to see the events taking place to recognise and celebrate it. 

It is my eternal hope that events like these not only provide opportunities for connection in the here and now, but also inspire people to investigate all the things that have come before them and have also shaped both the world they live in and the people they have become and will continue growing to be. It seems so true that to understand where you need to go and what you need to do, knowing where you have come from is important.

Laughter Yoga Workshop

Laughter and play are powerful well-being activities for the body and mind.

In this workshop I will take you on an exploration of laughter where you will discover ways to play with it, embrace it and see what is there when you open yourself up to being more playful. It's a wonderful invitation to cultivate your own innate sense of joy.

Laughter changes our body chemistry and mindset. It’s energising yet relaxing and a wonderful way to relieve stress, release stuck emotions and bring clarity to the mind.
