It is the same kind of state you allow yourself to go into when listening to any guided meditation.

Shakti, life's feminine aspect, means power, energy, and force. Mythologically, Shakti is always described as feminine, often personified as the goddess, Devi, the divine feminine consort of the divine masculine god Shiva. But at the deepest level, Shakti transcends gender. This feminine principle sustains life in all its forms and levels and governs our spiritual evolution. With adequate practice and understanding of these forces, both women and men can transcend the limitations of the mind and become one with life.

The Circle of Feminine Deities reveals the universe functioning and our psyche. When we adore and recognise Goddess within, we come to know the divinity within us, our power, our grace and our oneness with the creation of life. Together, in sacred ceremony, we rediscover and honour the divine feminine within as we invite her expression to be seen, heard and felt. Allowing the power of our wisdom, emotions and intuition to be our guide.

Allow yourself to delve into this pure and nourishing space that will enable you to slow down, face your limitations, re-connect to your wisdom and empower the perfect being you are. In this workshop, expect healing yoga practice, rites, invocational chanting, sharing circle, meditation, and more.

Join us for a day of free community classes in aid of Brent Foodbank. We are so delighted to have made it through the last year and want to say a big thank you to all of you that have supported us on this journey!

​

All classes are free, but we would ask that you donate generously to Brent Foodbank - we will be collecting both cash and food donations. All contributions, whatever the size, greatly appreciated. 

​

To attend a session please book through the regular booking page - registration essential as spaces are limited. 

Kasia will open the space. The Rebirthing session will last around 1 hour. Sometimes breathing is done via the nose, sometimes via the mouth - depending on the group needs and energy. Rebirthing is a simple yet powerful breathing technique, relaxing and healing on all levels. It is very safe. Participants will lie on the mats. Each person will be supported to move through whatever will be released and felt during breathing. 

Within our breath we have encoded patterns which keep repeating  themselves in our life and through conscious, connected breathing we can have impact on them saying goodbye to those which don’t  serve us any more and saying hello to the new ones  which are more desirable. Truth, Simplicity and Love are the key elements of Rebirthing.

Michael will open the sound healing space and begin with a medicine drum journey, move to singing bowls, take you into an intensely clearing gong healing, returning you back to the earth and your body with drone the drone flute. He will also be using other sound tools at his disposal intuitively during the journey as needed.

There will be a voluntary sharing session at the end of each session to check in with everyone.

The session will last approximately 2.5 hours. Please be punctual to avoid  disruption for other attendees.

Niloufar will open the space and begin the breath work session. Conscious connected breathing, also known as Rebirthing, is a simple yet powerful breathing technique. It addresses negative conscious and sub-conscious patterns and beliefs by bringing them to the surface, for healing, awareness, integration and acceptance. 

Participants will lie down on mats in a circle and together we will start conscious connected breathing through the mouth and enter into a journey of sound and breath. Niloufar will guide the breathing journey and support each individual to move through the challenging experiences. By opening up areas of blockage, or stuckness in the breath and thus the body, we can access much deeper sources of joy, power, love and clarity.

She says: there are so many benefits to health and wellbeing that can be achieved with therapeutic sound and music including reduced stress, anxiety, muscle tension and physical pain as well as an increased sense of wellbeing and positive mood.

Some sessions look more deeply into the use of sound and music to improve health and wellbeing and others will focus more on sound and music as an art form as well as for creativity and fun. Thank you for joining me - note that your feedback will go towards my final case study portfolio.

This dynamic workshop offers rejuvenation, healing, and spiritual empowerment. It reveals techniques to tap into the sun's vitality, promoting inner balance.

Instructor Rishad is a veteran teacher of meditation and co-founder of Cocoon Academy. He says "the Surya Devi meditation was revealed to me intuitively as spring eclipsed the long and cold winter. It is the perfect practice to bring warmth and healing back into the body, and clear and activate the spiritual pathways which may have been dormant. For those that have meditated with me before, and for fresh faces, I can't wait to share this practice with you!"

Feeling stressed, disconnected from your body, or tense? Or do you need some self care time, bringing ease, flow, lightness and joy into your being?

If you answered yes then this is a great space for you to come join.
 

Just as much as our body has learnt to keep certain muscles tight, hold tension and stress, run certain negative, neural pathway programs and hold onto energetic blockages, the body can also learn to release the muscles, re-program the nervous system and get energy to flow efficiently through the body again.

In the session we release the tightness, tension, stress and blockages within the body. This brings in more ease, spaciousness, flow, relaxation and lightness. With our increased openness, relaxation and flow our hearts can expand and open up and we can experience more joy, love and compassion.

We achieved and experience this through Somatic Movement, Breath-work, Kundalini Yoga, Mantra and Dance. An experience like no other!

​

Wear comfortable exercise clothing that you can really move in (no skirts or dresses)

Bring a water bottle, shawl and warm socks, open mind and willingness to release and relax.

This session will be run by Nicola and full information can be found here.

An evening of light and lightness

Reiki is a gentle yet powerful energy healing method from Japan. The word Reiki is translated as Rei – Source and Ki – Energy, meaning Universal Life Force Energy. Most people feel they are guided into a calming, meditative state where they can explore their inner world. 

Having a reiki treatment is very personal to the receiver. Many sink into a deeply relaxing, meditative state, see colours or visuals, and feel different sensations, such as warmth, tingling or pulsating energy. From this place of groundedness and connection, many insights or intuitions can come forward either during the session or over the following days. 

Although Reiki is often used alongside spiritual practices, it is not religious. Reiki is a very safe and non-invasive complementary therapy. Practitioners use intention to share this energy through their hands, which can gently rest on your body or remain just above, at your preference.

​

Contribution: £24.30

Shakti means power, energy, or force. Mythologically, Shakti is always described as feminine, often personified as the goddess, Devi, the divine feminine consort of the divine masculine god Shiva. But at the deepest level, Shakti transcends gender. This feminine principle sustains life in all its forms and levels, and also governs our spiritual evolution. With adequate practice and understanding of this forces, both women and men can transcend limitations and manifest its talents and personal power, which can lead one to self-realisation.

The Circle of Feminine Deities reveals the universe functioning and our psyche, and this retreat aims to immerse ourselves into these worlds. Once the veil of illusion is pulled back, we can understand the deeper truths of life, which are hidden behind our attachment to the forms.

In this 1-day retreat for women, expect healing yoga, yoga philosophy, invocational chanting, withdrawal of senses, meditation, nourishing food, and a transformational day. 

This yoga retreat day will enable you to slow down, face your limitations, re-connect to your wisdom and empower the perfect being you are.

• Are going through a significant life change such as motherhood or the menopause. 

• Have experienced a loss or relationship breakdown.
