January is just around the corner and it's time to envision 2022! Have you ever made a vision board? The idea is to create a visual image of your dreams and aspirations for the upcoming year. However, instead of having a board stuck in the back of your cupboard, we'll be making a notebook cover so you can carry your plans with you wherever you go! 

The workshop will start with a yoga practice to connect and embrace yourself and your dreams, followed by a DIY collage-drawing-painting notebook cover.

More than ever, there is no right or wrong, no art skills or yoga experience required: just you and the wish to play freely and embrace the 2022 of your dreams.

All the art supplies are included in the price but feel free to bring your own materials.

The facilitators will be Carina Bidese, a Yoga Teacher and Life Coach, and Francine Desoux an artist and life' explorer.

In the system of Ashtanga Yoga, the breath becomes the key to the focusing and the quietening of the mind. The practice moves through a set series of postures called the primary series. Through the 4 weeks, you will discover the pattern of vinyasa, which translated means movement breathe synchronisation which makes this yoga practice truly dynamic. We will discover the traditional variation of the Sun Salutations and explore the first half of the primary series which will challenge the mind and the body to stay at ease with grace and strength. After week four, you should find your body limbering up and your breath becoming more fluid as well as the mind more steady.

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.
