| Heartwood: The forged truth within your core | Sun, Oct 25, 5:00 PM UTC | – | 3mxkalu2uhx22 | Curator | ### There is a woman beneath the one you show the world. She is not your job title, your role, your reputation. She isn’t even what may best ‘please’ the world. She is the deeper centre beneath all of it, shaped and strengthened by everything you’ve lived. _We call this your heartwood._ A tree’s heartwood isn’t grown fresh each year. It forms slowly at the core as the tree grows. It holds the history of the tree, settled into its centre. Your heartwood forms through the seasons of your life. At your centre is your own unique soul essence, something that has always been there. Around it, life unfolds, each experience shaping, strengthening and refining you. Heartwood is an invitation to live from this place. To make decisions based on what you actually want, rather than what you think you should want. To say yes when you mean yes and no when you mean no. To recognise which roles, habits and expectations still belong to you, and which you’ve simply outgrown. **From this place, you can move through life with less force and more flow. More open, more present and more magnetic to the people, opportunities and experiences that are truly aligned with you.** ### This is Heartwood. An 8-week course to reconnect with the embodied wisdom, strength and truth that have been forming within you all along.  ## How will this benefit me? Heartwood is for you if you’re ready to understand what’s changing within you and begin living from a deeper sense of who you are. **You’ll recognise more of what no longer fits.** Identify the roles, habits, beliefs and expectations you’ve outgrown, and begin to let go of what no longer belongs in this season of your life. **You’ll turn experience into wisdom.** Explore what your life has taught you, including the difficult seasons, and uncover the strength, insight and resources you carry because of them. **You’ll make choices from a deeper place.** Get clearer on what you actually want and become more confident saying yes to what feels right and no to what doesn’t. **You’ll create more space for flow.** Release some of the force and striving, becoming more open to pleasure, connection, possibility and the people and opportunities that feel aligned. **You’ll not be alone doing this.** Be witnessed and supported by a small circle of women moving through their own seasons of change.  ## The Practicalities **Weekly 2-hour live session** Sundays, 5pm–7pm\*, our core space for exploring, sharing and doing the work together. **Weekly 30-minute practice** A pre-recorded embodiment, dance or storytelling practice to deepen the work and keep it moving between sessions. **A small, intimate group** Limited to 12 women, creating space for connection, trust and meaningful participation. **A WhatsApp group** For check-ins, reflection and staying connected between sessions. _\* If Sundays don’t work for you but you feel called to join, get in touch. We may be able to explore an alternative time depending on demand._ ## The Approach Heartwood draws on the wisdom of the natural world, mythology and storytelling, authentic relating, embodiment and somatic practice. The course is influenced by the work of Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Martha Beck, Deb Dana, Kasia Urbaniak, and True Nature founders Gaia Harvey-Jackson and Alana Bloom. We welcome all women, trans women and non-binary AFAB who feel the call to come home to themselves and to do so in the company of others rather than alone. Our belief is that coming home to ourselves is not just personal work. When we become more rooted in our own truth, needs and boundaries, we begin to change the systems and power structures that have taught us to abandon them. What starts within us ripples outward into our relationships, our communities and, ultimately, the world we create together. ## Who Heartwood may not be for **Heartwood may not be for you if you’re looking for a quick fix, a step-by-step formula or someone else to tell you what to do.** This is a space for exploration, reflection and discovering what feels true for you. **It may not be for you if you’re looking for a space focused solely on personal development without considering the wider world around us.** We’ll explore how our lives are shaped by the culture and systems we live within, and how personal transformation can become part of wider social change. **It may also not be for you if you’re looking for a space where everyone thinks the same way.** Heartwood is about honest exploration rather than agreement. You don’t need to arrive with the same beliefs, experiences or answers as everyone else, just a willingness to be curious, listen and participate. Heartwood isn’t about becoming a better version of yourself. It’s about becoming more fully **yourself**.  * * * # Your Facilitators  **Maya Bahoshy ** is an experiential facilitator, coach and educator, with over 15 years of experience in the non-profit, social impact and education sectors.

| Drop the Act | Sat, Oct 24, 8:00 AM UTC | Buckfastleigh, UK | 3mxkalu5pyb22 | Curator | ## Autumn One-Day Workshop: **DROP THE ACT** An immersive, experiential day exploring connection, self-expression and creativity - and what happens when we begin to loosen the roles and patterns that can get in the way of expressing who we really are. Drawing on my background as an actor, public-speaking coach, leadership facilitator and somatic therapist, we'll explore authentic expression through movement, voice, creativity and speaking from the heart. We'll work with assertiveness and confidence, creating space to use your voice without apology, over-performance or bravado. The workshop is called **DROP THE ACT** because we'll be exploring what makes us lose touch with our authentic expression, and experimenting with what becomes possible when we peel back some of those layers in a supportive and playful environment. The day is highly experiential. We'll use group exercises, movement, voice, poetry, text and play to explore confidence, connection and authentic expression. The workshop is open to anyone aged 21+, regardless of profession, background or level of experience. You don't need to be an actor, performer or public speaker. It may particularly resonate if: - You’re successful, capable or outwardly confident, but sometimes feel like you're performing your way through life. - You notice yourself adapting depending on who you're with. - You're highly attuned to other people, but sometimes struggle to know what _you_ actually want. - You find yourself playing a particular role — the good one, the capable one, the funny one, the strong one, the successful one, the easy-going one. - You're curious about what might be underneath those patterns. - You'd like to express yourself more freely, whether in relationships, work, leadership or your creative life. - You'd like to be more visible, but notice something in you holding back. - You want more spontaneity, creativity and play. - You're interested in exploring yourself through the body and experience, rather than simply talking about yourself. - You're willing to experiment, be witnessed and step a little outside your usual way of being. **This isn't therapy, but we will go deep.** Places are limited and a short application is required when booking. **Venue and arrival time** We'll be hanging out in the gorgeous Co-Working Devon, in Buckfastleigh. More information on how to find this venue will be shared upon booking. Please arrive 30-15mins early so we can start on time at 9.30am. Any significantly late arrivals may not be admitted due to the importance of setting group context before heading into the play. ### Cancellation Policy I understand that plans can change. If you need to cancel your place, please let me know as soon as possible. Cancellations made more than 30 days before the workshop will receive a full refund. Cancellations made between 14 and 30 days before the workshop will receive a 50% refund. Unfortunately, cancellations made less than 14 days before the workshop are non-refundable, unless I am able to fill your place. If I am able to do so, I will refund your payment in full. If you are unable to attend, you are welcome to transfer your place to someone else, provided you let me know in advance. If I need to cancel the workshop for any reason, you will receive a full refund. Thank you for understanding that, as places are limited, late cancellations can make it difficult to offer the place to someone else. **Hebe Dickins | ** Hebe’s background is in the theatre, as an actor.

Holding Space with Jess : Sound Healing I am a sound healer and energy worker. My focus is to hold space for stillness and create a sound journey that grounds you and brings you back home to yourself. I will be taking you through a sound journey that will centre yourself back to your heart space and ground you back to earth.  **ABOUT THE SESSION:** Ecstatic Dance is based in the natural understanding that our bodies know how they need and want to move in order to heal, strengthen, release and be nourished. Our ancestors practised rhythmic dancing to drums and chanting for centuries. Ecstatic Dance is based in this ancient practice of tuning in to the free movement desired by your body to shake and awaken your being into higher states of awareness, to release stress and trauma and to reconnect with your inner truth, beauty and enjoyment of life. Most sessions include: **Opening Circle (Guidelines & Announcements)** **Guided Warm Up** **Unguided DJ set** **Relaxation / Live Sound Bath** **Closing circle (Thank You's & Upcoming Dance Info)** You are not required to participate throughout and you are able to sit or lie down to rest at any point.  **PRACTICAL INFO:** **Address** Brighthelm Centre, North Road **Parking** There is small free car park at the back of the building. You MUST enter your registration number at reception otherwise you will receive a £100 fine. **Refunds/Exchanges** Tickets are not refundable unless the organisers cancel the event. You may sell your ticket on. If online sales sell out there is usually a limited number of tickets available on the door. **What to Bring/Wear** Wear comfy clothes that you can move to and layers to keep warm/cool. We dance barefoot or in gripped socks. Bring some water or a refreshing drink.  **Community:** The Ecstatic Dance community welcomes people of all ages/genders/religions/ethnicities. This is a cross-generational community, so often you will see dancers between the ages of 18-80 enjoying the space together. Most dances allow children to attend, but we recommend checking with your local facilitator before bringing a child! We are a non-denominational community, where we come together for the joy of moving and dancing together. This means that some people come simply for the exercise, some come for the social connection, and some come to use the dance as a form of therapy, emotional catharsis, spiritual practice, or prayer. Whatever your reason for wanting to move, you are welcome at Ecstatic Dance. **Space** : Ecstatic Dance is a Freeform Conscious Dance. As soon as you enter the space, you are invited to let go of judgements and expectations, and allow yourself to feel you emotions, sensations, body, mind, and spirit. Because this is a safe space for movement and expression, we do request that you follow the three main guidelines: no shoes (and wear comfy clothes!), no booze (or any other drugs), no talking (body language only!). All freedom of expression is welcomed, and there is no ‘right and wrong’ here. Trust in the journey and move through everything that arises. **Music:** At most dances, the soundscape is provided by professional DJ’s who mix the music and facilitate the journey. Most sets will include a variety of musical genres, sonic wave of all tempos, a full spectrum of emotions. At some dances you will find the vibe to be more organic and tribal, and at others more electronic, futuristic, or urban. No set is ever the same! **Consent:** Many Dancers come to dance by themselves in the group. Some dancers also enjoy dancing with others, with or without physical contact. **The Practice** It is always a good idea to begin by dancing with yourself. Feel into how you are doing in this moment, and in your life in general. Set an intention for yourself & for the world at large at the beginning of the dance. If you would like to dance with someone else, please make sure they are able to give their consent to dance with you before touching them or entering their field. If you are not sure, or their eyes are closed, it is a No. Please respect any No, and try not to take it personally. How to say “No” nonverbally? Turn Away, Move Away, Hand(s) at Your Heart (prayer gesture) How to say “Yes” nonverbally? Turn Toward, Move Closer, Extend a Hand (open palm)  **Thank you for taking the time to read this information - see you on the D Floor!!!** | |||
| Surrender to the Season, An Autumn Journey of Yoga and Sound Bath | Sat, Oct 24, 5:30 PM UTC | The Angel Room at Bowden House Community, Green Lane, Totnes, TQ9 7PW | 3mxkaluhicp22 | Curator | **Surrender to the Season** _An Autumn Evening of Yoga, Sound & Release_ As the days grow shorter and nature begins to let go, we are invited to turn inward. Autumn reminds us that letting go is not an ending, but part of the rhythm of life. Through nourishing flowing yoga, breath and the immersive vibrations of a sound bath, we’ll honour the transition into autumn — embracing the invitation to slow down, turn inward and surrender to what is. We’ll explore the beauty of slowing down, letting go, and making space for what is quietly emerging. A chance to soften, surrender and release— just as the trees release their leaves. A gentle autumn ritual for the body, mind and soul. Surrender to the Season, Letting go, Fall into Stillness. | |||
| Sacred Connected Bodies - Somatic Art Workshop & Dialogue | Sat, Oct 17, 9:30 AM UTC | Wanstead Quaker Meeting House, Bush Road, London, UK | 3mxkalujldk22 | Curator | #### Join this creative one-day workshop, led by [Fran Willems](https://dandelion.events/u/franwillie), a somatic art & sound bowl practitioner and (energetic) massage therapist, and [Jessica Ball](https://dandelion.events/u/creating_meaning), a Bohm Dialogue specialist, creative facilitator and Reiki practitioner, exploring and deepening the sensory relationship to our individual body, earth body and cosmic body. Somatic art practice is a relational, transdisciplinary creative exploration rooted in BMC® principles (Body Mind Centering, Bonnie B), bringing us into a more aligned, flow state and creating a sense of calm and connection inhabiting our bodies. Combining this practice with Bohm Dialogue will allow for individual and collective meaning-making through intentional listening and group reflection. This workshop is for you if you need a break from fast-paced, high-pressure life and long for a soothing soft container to slow down and explore creativity, reflection, the body, whilst connecting in a compassionate inclusive community. No prior artistic experience is necessary to attend this workshop and all materials will be provided, though feel free to take your own materials/artist journal. Come curious and enjoy the journey! **What to expect** The workshop is grounded in an invitation to imaginatively and somatically connect to your fascia - the connective tissue that wraps and supports every part of our body. The somatic art practice gently and playfully explores touch, drawing, movement and free writing to allow for an embodied experience and deeper connection to the wonders of the body. We will then expand this curiosity and creativity into our felt connection and relationship with the earth body and cosmic body, before gathering in circle to reflect and share our experience and co-create meaning together. The day will finish with a relaxing guided integration, including meditation and sound.

| OPENING TO EROS ♀ | Mon, Oct 26, 6:30 PM UTC | – | 3mxkalupvlc22 | Curator | # **OPENING TO EROS** # # **♀** **A journey of homecoming to the pulse of aliveness at the core of your being.** We live in a world dominated by a patriarchal value system, which has impacted our ideas, expectations and ways of existing. This has valued linear over cyclical. Destination over journey. And this has also applied to sexuality - as something to do, perform or hide. Rather than a way to be. **Eros, as an essence to exist as. A current.** **Cyclical. Pulsing. Ebb & flowing.** #### **You're invited to join a coven of 13 women to journey Opening to Eros.** We begin with the Taurus Full Moon, on Monday 26th October. And with Venus, representing Inanna, in the underworld. the descent of Inanna is a living myth representing a pathway of women's journeys. _How might we descend & rise again, rooted?_ **Connect to your primordial life force** **& reclaim your deep feminine wisdom.** Vulva as Altar, Eros as Guide. ### **What to expect;** - Sharing Circles - Embodiment Practice - Sensual Exploration - Self Pleasure Practices - Pleasure Anatomy - Nervous System Tending - Instinct Reclamation - Witnessing - Emotional Landscaping, Release & Integration - Eros Emergence - Connection - Response-ability: the power to respond - Home~Play & Rituals Whilst each week may include some of the above, we will be moving with the current of aliveness and **journeying with eros emergence.** The flow of our online circles will loosely be as follows: - Opening - Theme Exploration (verbal & sense-ual explorations) - Practice &/or Ritual - Journalling &/or Sharing - Closing With practices and rituals given to journey in your own space between live calls to support integration and depth of journey. You are also invited to book a 1-1 with Taila to go deeper into your personal experience of eros. _ **Taila will hold the space to serve what is needed, bringing her human-ness, experience and leadership whilst also inviting yours.** _ > “A powerful alchemical container to explore our inner landscapes, to witness and be witnessed, to purge and transmute. A safe and held space to do some deeply transformational work if you wish to go there, or simply to come into awareness of what is lurking in the subconscious. Also just a fantastic group of women & womb folk…” ~ Participant, Voice of the Womb ## **♀** ## Intention for Opening to Eros Moving beyond patriarchal heteronormative paradigms of sexuality. We have been taught to look to the male gaze for approval, acceptance and validation of our sexuality, attractiveness and expression. Women who step out the box have been publicly shamed and humiliated. Together **we feel and taste the unique essence of our eros from the inside out.** A space to weave with a web of women who are willing to strip back to their es~sense~ual nature. For you to have held space to **unravel the conditioning, stories and numbness associated with sexuality & eros** in a space of loving witness, growing compassionate celebration of all that you are and allowing the current of aliveness to anchor you home. From here, we remember our power and capacity to create as cyclical reciprocal beings. a space to allow emotions to drop to feelings to drop to sensations. in order to experience the true essence of **Our Humanity** in an unfolding dance of energy in motion. Supported by a framework that allows us to move informed by container, body and the group field woven with the current. Each woman's truth and essence will weave a tapestry to be **honoured, witnessed, expressed** , and from here, you will access your inner wisdom, knowing, Gnosis to stand in your erotic power and create a more beautiful world. #### Together, we remember, #### Together, we reclaim; #### our unique relationship to Eros. ## **Who is this for? ** women and afab loves comfortable with being in a space that may centre - the womb, - b🩸eeding, - p🐱ssy anatomy - female experience//conditioning the space is not intended as therapy, and whilst it may feel therapeutic, if you are currently in a space of active trauma we would encourage you to seek 1-1 therapeutic support so that you can be held more deeply where you are right now. You're so welcome to reach out to Taila to have a chat about what options there may be for you. ## **Gathering in Temple ** Re-membering the sacred and ancient red-thread lineage & practice of circling, each gathering serves to deepen trust as another step along the journey through many cycles & spirals. Developing intimacy with the Temple herself and those who come to gather every week. You have a seat that only you can occupy, and it is there for whenever you are ready. _ **the connection between women has been severed by thousands of years of oppression and patriarchal domination, and at times it can be challenging to gather with other females. we invite you to journey as deep as you feel comfortable, walk with honesty, authenticity and the courage to share your experience of beauty, triggers & challenges as part of individual;+collective whole-ing & healing. At all times you are encouraged to journey Opening to Eros at the pace, depth & flavour of your own body wisdom & inner knowing ❤️** _ ## The Container; The container is here as a framework and guide, throughout this creation process as well as in the journey ahead, we will remain open to ~ & humbled by ~ the ever unfolding mystery, the current of eros. Listening, shifting and responding. **Dates; (all calls at 7pm GMT, for approximately 2.5 hours)** - **26th October: ROOT** - **2nd November: ROOT II** - **9th November: ROOT III** - **16th November: No Circle. Integration Week & Deeper Home Ritual** - **23rd November: HEART** - **30th November: VULVA** - **7th December: MUSE** - **14th December: POWER** - **21st December: RECLAMATION & REMEMBRANCE** ### ROOT We begin Opening to Eros by tending to our roots. Roots represent a sense of belonging, home and containment. Belonging to self, others, the earth & the mystery. You will cultivate an awareness of your nervous system, so you may descend into the body and present moment. _ **What are your values, boundaries, intentions?** _ As we Open to Eros we set the container by **resting into lineages that honour female cyclical wisdom & power. ** You may be the first in your recent lineage to have the opportunity to choose new stories, new maps. The female body has long been regarded as the root of all sin. The erotic either hypersexualised or outright rejected, embodied in the madonna / whore split. Together we sew the seeds for sense-uality, sexuality & relationship with eros to be **rooted in truth, love & liberation. ** For your erotic essence to be uniquely yours before anyone else. Aligning with Venus~Inanna’s star point, a new phase & new script is taking root. _ **What personal and cultural stories relating to your erotic essence are you carrying? ** _ > **Update for Opening to Eros 2.0: ** > Through this autumn~winter transition we will slow right down & root deeper with ROOT II & ROOT III > so that you can nourish the foundations of your own SEAD ~ Somatic Eros Alchemy Devotional. > > more to come on this… > ### _Integration Week_ No live circle, you will have a deeper home SEAD ritual and may like to join us at [Wild & Holy; The Wellspring](https://dandelion.events/e/wildholywellspring) in this time (You receive £55 off if you join both, just ask me for the code) ### ### **HEART** It can be tender when we reconnect, or perhaps connect for the first time outside of conditioned responses, to our erotic power. **We enter here through the heart. The breasts.** Women often feel like they are failing when measured against the dominator paradigm. Suppressing emotionality and cyclical shifts to pretend to perform as a consistent linear robot (male). Labeled things like; ‘Too emotional, not horny enough.’ or ‘too sexual/powerful, not loving enough’. Our theme and practices will support coming into contact with the raw beauty of your heart; **un-shaming emotions, taking the armour off.** Experiencing how rage, grief and ‘heavier’ emotions and sensations as vital expressions for eros. **Cultivating range** in your expression. Disrupting the stories entrenched within. With tenderness & courage, **meeting that which lives within your heart and breasts**. So that you may notice & acknowledge your true nature. Shifting from performative sexuality into true erotic innocence. _ **What does your heart desire?** _ ### VULVA **What do you call her? ** Naming of female pleasure anatomy has predominantly come through male discourse and male scientists. Female sexual anatomy (and health in general) is largely still misunderstood, by men, the system and also by ourselves. We were not educated well, and sources are still rubbish and heavily influenced by patriarchy. _Can you believe the clitoris in her fullness was only properly documented by Helen O'Connell in 2005! _ By naming your body and understanding your anatomy you gain autonomy. Your vulva ~ pussy ~ yoni is a gateway from the external to the internal; a bridge between worlds. Much can be stored here and in the wider landscape of your pelvic bowl. With a **vulva mapping ritual** , you'll get to know your body's landscape, honour her stories and begin to **trace new pathways through her peaks and valleys**. _“My vulva, the horn,_ _The boat of heaven, _ _Is full of eagerness like the young moon…_ _Man of my heart, plow my vulva” _ _ ⁃ Inanna to her husband Dumuzi _ The Descent of Inanna is from a time before patriarchal dominator culture; **Inanna openly and freely delights in her own sexuality, body, vulva and her sensate aliveness ~ you get to experience that too.** _At the altar of vulva you pray,_ _what does She have to say?_ ### MUSE We return together, having crossed through the threshold of Vulva, to meet the Muse; each woman animated by Eros, by the deep feminine current, expressing her essence as a way to stand in her power and create a more beautiful world beyond domination and oppression. so you may have the relationship to sexuality, eros & creativity that you desire. Much of eros lives in the mystery, in **the emergent current of aliveness** ~ a river seeking to flow through well tended banks. A pulse that is already there, not something you must acquire. Only that you must un-become who you thought you ‘should’ be, in order to **express as who you truly are.** To tend those banks you will journey practices that support shedding shame, honouring numbness and living rooted in your erotic power. Allowing your essence to express through presence, awareness, sound, breath, movement & touch. We will be witnessed by, and witness the muse of, each woman in our coven. So you may taste your essence and live as the expression of this current of aliveness; cyclical, wise, true. _ **When you reclaim what was stolen, repressed & denied, ** _ _ **how does your erotic innocence express?** _ ### **POWER** Eros awakens a relational power within and between us. A current that has the capacity to support a shift from ‘power over’ dominator dynamics to ‘power with’. Power with allows for collaboration, a recognition that we are stronger together on an embodied level. **An ecology of empowerment.** When one woman rises, we all rise. You will root into your inner compass to allow eros to support your expression in the world. With exploration through embodied practice of what holds you back from claiming your power, you allow the intelligence of eros to support you to experience the truth of your expression. Cultivating a new relationship with power, boundaries & desires. > “We have been raised to fear the yes within ourselves, our deepest cravings. For the demands of our released expectations lead us inevitably into actions which will help bring our lives into accordance with our needs, our knowledge, our desires. And the fear of our deepest cravings keeps them suspect, keeps us docile and loyal and obedient, and leads us to settle for or accept many facets of our oppression as women.” > > ― Audre Lorde, Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power Entering into the living entity of right relationship, where agreements and boundaries are living instruments rather than fixed destinations. Adjusting when edges are met. Shifting, adapting, according to personal truth within relationality. _ **What would you be a stand for if you didn’t hide away from expressing? ** _ _ **If you weren’t scared of judgement or rejection? ** _ _ **What would it feel like to be welcomed in your power? ** _ ### RECLAMATION & REMEMBRANCE A remembrance of how to be guided home by our own pleasure and body. As you reclaim your innate erotic intelligence and power, you will tend to your capacity to ask for what you need, value yourself and become resourced. No longer people pleasing or non-consensually shape shifting, you recognise just how deeply needed your essence rooted in erotic truth is. **You become your own permission slip. ** Reclaiming your wholeness, with all that makes you uniquely you. In our closing ceremony we celebrate & integrate your journey through Opening to Eros. **Together we are weaving a new narrative that honours our body, our eros, the earth ~ and the relationships between us all. ** _ **In what ways can you be resourced to walk forward rooted in eros?** _ _ **What would support look like for you? ** _ _ **What are the practices, rituals and tools you wish to lean into?** _ _ ** ** _ ### with integration resources & rituals, ### plus an optional 1-1 with Taila Rose to go deeper. ## **♀** The Lineage of Venus **♀** We bring awareness to the Venus cycle in order to rest into a wider cosmology, a 251(ish) year cycle. A cycle within a cycle, approximately every 8 years making a near perfect 5 pointed star, the spiral dance of creation. And within these longer cycles, Venus also experiences a 19 month cycles. These cycles within cycles are like the spiral journey we walk in life, a reminder of the small cycle and the eagles eye view cycles. Additionally, Venus is a planet that is observable with the human eye. Imagine how many thousands of years our wise and well ancestors have observed these cycles. It is evidenced in the writings of the Inanna Myth on tablet, the oldest writing on tablet found, by a woman named Enheduanna. There is mythological similarity with Venus and Inanna, markers in the observable Venus cycle that correlate with the 7 gates passaged by Inanna. _ **this myth embodies the initiatory journey of woman. how we may choose descent in order to allow ourselves to die unto a more true essence.** _ A mythological underpinning illustrating our power to choose initiation, to cross a threshold. The Descent of Inanna is one of the oldest 'myths' - suppressed by the myth (that then became religion) of Adam & Eve. Reducing women's erotic power to something sinful in the collective psyche of dominant western culture for thousands of years. **It is time for ancient yet new living myths, woven with our own unique listening to the current of eros** , as She ~ the deep feminine current ~ whispers words that weave new stories through the vessels of our bodies, supported by the wisdom of our well and wise ancestors. In the venus-inanna cycle we are completing our ascent and preparing to go retrograde: to the underworld? The void? Questioning our relational values, our intimacy with life. In this deepening, we remember. Reclaiming feminine mysteries and erotic power. _My prayer is that Opening to Eros serves as a threshold for you. As a container for you to strip back, reclaim your erotic essence and stand in your power ~ however that may look and feel for you._ ## Connect & Explore If you desire a connection call to explore further please email Taila at [**rewilding.eros@gmail.com**](mailto:rewilding.eros@gmail.com) or whatsapp/telegram message: +447703103726 **Refunds Policy & Payment Plans** Payment plans must be paid in full by 27th November 2026.

| Reclaiming Voice | Sun, Nov 29, 3:00 PM UTC | CABILLA CORNWALL, Bodmin, UK | 3mxkalv3rku22 | Curator | ### A day to remember our voices and explore the power they hold. _Dreamed with singer_ [_Holly Anne Coles_](https://www.hollyannecoles.com/) _& conscious coach_ [_Anna Lempriere_](https://www.theconsciouscoach.net/) **What might it mean to reclaim our voice?** Our voices carry our stories, our questions, our boundaries & hope. They are one of the way we relate to one another & the wider world. Yet many of us have learned to quiet ourselves in order to fit in. To make ourselves smaller. To distrust our voices, outer and inner, including our intuition. Reclaiming Voice is an invitation to explore our voices through activation, conversations & shared experiences. To listen more closely to what wants to be spoken. **What if reconnecting with our voice was a way of reclaiming our agency, our expression and our power to participate in the world around us?** ### What to expect We will take time to arrive & land in the intentional space that is Cabilla Cornwall. Throughout our time together, we will explore two different doorways & enjoy the space in between - think herbal teas, light nourishment. A time to pause, to talk, to rest. **Through activation & sound** In this embodied exploration with **Holly** , we will explore the voice through sound, techniques and expression. Rather than thinking about the voice simply as something we use to speak, we will experience it as something that lives within the body. Through playful and nourishing practices, Holly will invite us to become curious about our own unique sound and the possibilities that open when we allow ourselves to be heard. A space to experiment, to listen & take up a little more space. _No singing experience is needed._ **Through storytelling & expression** Inspired by myth, the great feminine and the rising of new voices, **Anna** will introduce elements of her SpeakYOU method to explore storytelling, imagination and personal expression. We will play with the stories we carry and discover how a single moment from our lives can become something more expansive when we give it the freedom of myth. You will be held with kindness and invited to experiment, make mistakes and discover what happens when words become seeds. ### About Reclaiming Reclaiming is a growing series of gatherings exploring the relationships that shape our lives. Each gathering offers a different thread, inviting us to explore our relationship with ourselves, one another and the living world through practices, conversation and shared experience. **Attend one gathering or join us for the wider journey.** Reclaiming Voice is the second of three gatherings exploring [**Food**](https://dandelion.events/e/v5l5n) **, Voice &** [**Body**](https://dandelion.events/e/m1t45). | |||
| Reclaiming Food | Sun, Oct 25, 3:00 PM UTC | CABILLA CORNWALL, Bodmin, UK | 3mxkalv5q7y22 | Curator | ### A day to explore our relationship with food, nourishment and the world that sustains us. _ **Dreamed with chef** _ [_ **Kate Munro Boot** _](https://www.instagram.com/katemunroboot/) _ **& doctor ** _[_ **Rhiannon Day-Thompson** _](https://www.instagram.com/dr.rhiannon.dt/)  **What might it look like to reclaim our relationship with food?** Food is one of our most intimate relationships. It nourishes us, connects us to land and season, carries memories and traditions and brings us together around the table. Yet, in a society that so often favours convenience over relationship, addiction over health, we have become disconnected from where it comes from, who grows it and the wider systems that bring it to our tables. Reclaiming Food is an invitation to explore food as nourishment, as pleasure, as medicine. **What if our relationship with food is vital to remembering that we are part of something much bigger than ourselves?** ### What to expect We will take time to arrive & land in the intentional space that is Cabilla Cornwall. Beginning with an opening circle, we will invite a curiosity around our relationship to food before heading into the temperate rainforest for a mindful exploration. From there, we will come together for a screening of “The Economics of Eating” and a talk with Rhiannon Day-Thompson, _author, medical anthropologist & NHS GP_, exploring the ways our food environment shapes our relationship with nourishment. This will be followed by a Q&A. With Kate Munro Boot, _chef, coach & speaker_, we will turn to the food itself through tasting, play and preparation, reconnecting with the pleasure, energy and sensory richness of locally grown & sustainable produce. A kitchen workshop of sorts. There will be space to pause, reflect and gather what resonates before we finish around the table, sharing a delicious meal and conversation. **Expect curiosity, perspectives, sensory exploration and good food in good company.**  ### ### What might you take away? This gathering offers an opportunity to: - **A different way of approaching food.** Moving beyond what we eat to explore how we eat, how we feel and the attention we bring to each meal. - **More pleasure, less guilt.** An invitation to soften the rules and judgements around food, making more room for enjoyment, curiosity and gentleness with ourselves. - **A deeper connection with nature through food.** Discover the journey from soil, water and sunlight to the food on our plates, and reconnect with the land and people that nourish us. - **A better understanding of the food system we live in.** Explore ultra-processed foods, the microbiome and how our modern food environment can shape our relationship with nourishment. - **A renewed relationship with your senses.** Slow down, savour, taste and notice. Rediscover the richness of food beyond its nutritional value. - **Small inspirations for everyday life.** Whether it's cooking something from scratch, choosing local produce, growing a little food or simply giving a meal your full attention, discover small ways to bring more connection into how you eat. ### Why reclaim food? Because food is never just food. It is soil, water, sunlight, the hands that tend and harvest, the knowledge passed between generations and the relationships that sustain us. Reclaiming our relationship with food can be one small but meaningful way of reclaiming our relationship with the living world, and remembering that we are part of it. * * * ### About Reclaiming Reclaiming is a growing series of gatherings exploring the relationships that shape our lives. Each gathering offers a different thread, inviting us to explore our relationship with ourselves, one another and the living world through practices, conversation and shared experience. **Attend one gathering or join us for the wider journey.** Reclaiming Food is the first of three gatherings exploring **Food, Voice & Body**. | |||
| FREE ONLINE WEEKLY WORKSHOP - Journey Through the Chakras WEEK 7 | Sahasrara | Crown Chakra | Wed, Oct 14, 6:00 PM UTC | – | 3mxkalvebvq22 | Curator | # Free Online Chakra Workshop Series ### Explore the 7 Chakras Through Kundalini Yoga, Mantra, Breathwork & Meditation **Every Wednesday at 7pm | Online | Completely Free** Hello and blessings beautiful being, Thank you for finding your way here. I’ve recently returned from Rishikesh, India, where I spent a month at a yoga school at the foothills of the Himalayas completing my 200-hour Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training. It was an amazing experience and I came home with so much knowledge, inspiration and a whole new appreciation of the yogic traditions...there's SO much to learn. One thing I didn’t get as much of during the course, was the opportunity to practise teaching. So, I’ve decided to create these **free online weekly chakra workshops** as a way of sharing what I’ve learned, continuing to develop my teaching practice, and creating a space where we can explore these beautiful traditions together. ## What is the Chakra Workshop Series? Over **7 weeks** , we’ll explore the traditional chakra system, dedicating one Wednesday evening to each of the seven major chakras. Each week will focus on a different chakra and include a combination of: Kundalini Yoga practices Pranayama (breathwork) Mantra Mudras Meditation Visualisation Gentle movement and kriyas Teachings about the chakra and its traditional associations You don't need to be experienced in yoga or meditation, however a little knowledge about the chakra system would be beneficial - but not essential. You can join for one workshop or come along for the whole seven-weeks. ## The 7-Week Journey **Week 1 | Muladhara | Root Chakra** Grounding • Stability • Safety • Connection to Earth **Week 2 | Svadhisthana | Sacral Chakra** Creativity • Flow • Sensuality • Emotions **Week 3 | Manipura | Solar Plexus Chakra** Personal power • Confidence • Transformation • Fire **Week 4 | Anahata | Heart Chakra** Love • Compassion • Connection • Devotion **Week 5 | Vishuddha | Throat Chakra** Communication • Truth • Expression • Authenticity **Week 6 | Ajna | Third Eye Chakra** Intuition • Awareness • Inner vision • Perception **Week 7 | Sahasrara | Crown Chakra** Consciousness • Spiritual connection • Meditation • Unity ## The traditions I follow... The practices I share are inspired by **Kundalini Yoga and Hindu traditions** , including traditional approaches to mantra, meditation, pranayama, mudra and the chakra system. My intention isn't to tell you that your chakras are "blocked" or that a particular practice will magically fix your life. These are workshops designed to help you **learn, explore and experience** these ancient practices for yourself. ## I'm sure you're wondering about Kundalini? You may have noticed the words _Kundalini Yoga_ above and wondered whether you're about to accidentally awaken something on your own, in your home Don't worry. These workshops are not designed to induce a Kundalini awakening, and I am not a KAP (Kundalini Activation Process) practitioner. The practices I'm sharing come from the traditional Kundalini Yoga training I completed in Rishikesh. ## Who are these workshops for? Absolutely anyone over 18 who is curious about: - Chakras and the subtle energy body - Kundalini Yoga - Meditation - Mantra - Pranayama/Breathwork - Hindu and yogic traditions - Developing a personal spiritual practice - Taking a little time out of the week to reconnect with themselves **No previous yoga, meditation or chakra experience is necessary.** ## What you'll need A quiet, comfortable space where you won't be disturbed. A yoga mat or something comfortable to sit on, space to move. Please arrive with an empty stomach, as we'll be doing some breathwork and movement. ## A little note from me I'm at the beginning of my teaching journey, and these workshops are part of me putting into practice everything I've learned in Rishikesh. So while I will always prepare thoughtfully and teach to the best of my ability, I'm also here to learn. Your feedback is genuinely welcome and will help me grow as a teacher. My hope is that these Wednesday evenings become a moment of calm and peace in your week. **I'd love for you to join me. 🙏✨** ### Every Wednesday ### 7:00pm ### Online ### Free ### 7 weeks • 7 chakras • 7pm | |||

Are you ready to reclaim yourself and move forward in the right direction? 💌Book your spot here: [https://www.lifeinconfidence.com/innerchildhealingcirclesalespage](https://www.lifeinconfidence.com/innerchildhealingcirclesalespage) **FAQ** **#1: Will this work for me?** Yes, if you allow yourself to be open and receptive to the experience. The resistance comes from being in the mind and the need to control the experience or outcome. If you're someone who's too heady, spend at least 20 minutes in nature with your feet on the ground and move your body to be in the here and now. You will notice you will be far more open to receiving this activation. You may feel tingles, sensations, goosebumps, movement in energy, see images or symbols or you may not feel anything at all. Alternatively, you can start listening to my Childhood Trauma Clearing audio once a day for 30 days or for an extensive clearing 90 days. If you feel called to listen to it longer or at any time, you're welcome to do so as this will keep dissolving the energetics of your childhood conditioning. If you feel you got something from this audio, please email your video or written testimonial to jessxgoh@lifeinconfidence.com. **#2: What is light language and how does it work?** It's the language of the soul. Everyone speaks it differently as we channel through these high vibrational codes and frequencies that are being transmuted from the stars to transmute stagnant energy and old frequencies that are no longer in alignment with your soul and to activate dormant parts of you that are needed to bring them into illumination for your highest good. **#3: Who is this not for?** This isn't for you if you constantly perceive yourself as a victim, always need to be in control all the time and struggle to trust the natural healing processes facilitated. You don't see yourself as an investment in your healing journey, looking for a quick fix or a way out of life and a skeptic of the spiritual arts as a pathway to move forward. **#4: Who is this for?** This is for you if you have tried some form of therapy, spiritual healing or self-development program and you still feel you need extra energetic support in dissolving subconscious or unconscious emotional blockages that are keeping you stuck in the past or stopping you from moving forward in any area of your life. **#5: What's your refund policy?** Tickets are non-refundable but can be transferred or sold to another person who would appreciate this experience. Contact jessxgoh@lifeinconfidence.com their name and contact details so I can prepare them for this event. ----------------------------------------------------------------- **About Your Facilitator** Jess X Goh helps burnt out, heart-centered professionals to overcome the impacts of childhood abuse.

| Soul Constellations Retreat | Thu, Feb 11, 3:00 PM UTC | Shallowford House Christian Retreat & Conference Centre, Shallowford, Stone, UK | 3mxkalvspmo22 | Curator | **A four-day residential Systemic Family Constellations retreat** **11–14 February 2027** ** Shallowford House, Staffordshire** #### The stories inside us. The systems around us. And what becomes possible when we begin to untangle the two. We live our lives in the present, but we do not arrive here alone. We belong to families, relationships and histories that began before us. Within them are experiences of love and loss, belonging and exclusion, strength and survival - and sometimes patterns we find ourselves repeating without fully understanding why. Soul Constellations is a four-day residential retreat exploring these often unseen dynamics through Systemic Family Constellations, alongside meditation, embodiment, movement, music, group exercises and community. This will be our third retreat together and an opportunity to step away from everyday life, slow down and explore ourselves more deeply in the beautiful surroundings of Shallowford House. Our past retreats have been incredibly powerful, transformative and life-changing for many. ### What are Family Constellations? Systemic Family Constellations is an experiential therapeutic practice that explores hidden dynamics, unconscious loyalties and intergenerational patterns within families and other relational systems. Through embodied group work, we begin to encounter an issue from somewhere other than the position from which we have always known it. The intention isn't to blame our families or erase our history, but to understand our relationship with it more deeply — honouring what came before while creating greater freedom in how we move forward. Some participants will bring their own issue to constellate, while others will participate as representatives. Both can offer powerful opportunities for recognition, insight and movement. ### Across the four days we'll experience: 🌿 Systemic Family Constellation work led by Imani 🥘Delicious fresh cooked meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner by Arvin from Amrutha 🎶 An intimate live set with singer-songwriter Aliya 🧘 Varied guided meditation and embodiment practices ☯️ Qigong and yoga ✨ Group exercises designed to deepen connection, trust and safety within the group 🫂 Daily time within your smaller sharing pod for reflection and support 🎵 A deeply restorative sound bath 🙏 Optional one-to-one healing sessions 🎨 An art integration workshop on our final day 🤎 A cacao ceremony 🔥 A final-night celebration where everyone is invited to share their gifts, creativity and expression 🕯️ A closing ceremony to honour everything we've experienced together There will also be plenty of space between sessions to rest, walk in nature, connect with others or simply be quiet. ### The Setting Our home for the retreat is Shallowford House, a beautiful nineteenth-century retreat house surrounded by nine acres of secluded gardens, woodland and meadow in the Staffordshire countryside. Being residential is an important part of the experience. Rather than returning immediately to the pace of everyday life after deep inner work, we have four days to live, eat, practise, reflect and connect together — allowing the experience time to settle and integrate. **Accommodation and all meals are included throughout the retreat.** ## Retreat Prices & Accommodation Shared same-sex twin rooms are included within your retreat ticket. If you would prefer your own space, a limited number of private double rooms are available for an additional **£200**. ### Retreat Prices 🌱 Early Bird — £600 (Sold out) ✨ General Release — £700 (Half gone) 🔥 Final Release — £800 🛏️ Add-On: Private Double Room - £200 You can spread the cost of your retreat over 3 months with Klarna at checkout. If you would benefit from a longer payment plan, please reach out to us, and we'll be happy to discuss the options available. **ACCESSIBILITY** We also want Soul Constellations to be accessible to those who genuinely feel called to join us ❤️ We've set aside a small number of reduced-price places for people on a low income. If this applies to you, please email us to enquire. **At the heart of Soul Constellations is an invitation:** To understand what has shaped us. To honour what came before. To deepen our connection with ourselves and each other. And to create greater freedom in what comes next. ### Meet The Facilitators #### Imani (Lead Facilitator) Imani is a Systemic Family Constellations Practitioner, writer and speaker whose work centres around relationships, rupture, belonging and identity. She trained internationally through the International Family Constellation Training Institute and has studied across multiple systemic lineages with an international faculty of more than 35 teachers. Her work explores the meeting place between story and system. How our personal experiences interact with the families, relationships and histories around us, and what becomes possible when we begin to untangle the two. #### About Jay (Co-facilitator) Jay is a qualified Jungian Depth Coach whose work sits at the intersection of Jungian psychology, Eastern spirituality and embodied practice. His focus is on bridging the gap between understanding ourselves and actually changing how we live. Through one-to-one coaching, men's circles and group work, Jay helps people explore the unconscious patterns that keep them stuck, meet the parts of themselves they've learned to hide or reject, and find the courage to live differently. His approach combines compassion with honest challenge, bringing the unconscious into awareness and awareness into action. At the heart of his work is a commitment to helping people develop greater self-trust, authentic connection and a deeper sense of aliveness. #### About Alex (Co-facilitator) Alex is a meditation teacher of 8 years and the founder of Soul Revolution Festival. He offers a variety of meditations to calm the nervous system, create a deeper relationship with the body, open the heart, and relax the mind. Alex has supported Imani with her work on various retreats as well as the rest of the team, who all have a tight bond of trust and respect. This is vitally important to holding the container.  | |||
| Concert: Claire Vine + Suzi MacGregor | Wed, Oct 28, 7:30 PM UTC | St Bartholomew's, Lostwithiel, Church Lane, Lostwithiel, UK | 3mxkalvyo5a22 | Curator | **WORKSHOP ** **6pm-7pm (see below, optional)** **CONCERT** **7pm - doors open** **7.30pm - music starts** We're back after a break over the summer with another night of exceptional music in St Bartholomew's Church, as we welcome Claire Vine and Suzi MacGregor… ** ** **CLAIRE VINE** is a folk singer and songwriter based in Machynlleth, Cymru. Her solo project fearlessly explores urgent themes of land rights, oppression, climate change and inequality, in timeless songs that sound like they've always existed. Using subtle electronics to layer her voice into a haunting choir, she creates a space for her listeners to collectively feel the grief expressed in her music, offering a moment of shared catharsis. She is also a skilled song-interpreter, delivering classics from the traditional/folk revival canon with a new and profound humanity. Claire Vine released her debut solo album We Carve Our Path on 13 March 2026 on Bristol-based community label Cuculi Records, who also released her debut EP _Tunnel_ in 2020. With a thread of unequivocal political urgency running throughout, this evocative collection features five original songs and five highly inventive interpretations of songs drawn from the traditional canon and the repertoire of folk legends Peggy Seeger and Ewan MacColl. She has also recently been granted the DYCP grant from Arts Council England, supporting her to develop her singing and songwriting craft alongside working on a series of collaborative song-writing workshops relating to climate justice and climate grief. <oembed url="https://youtu.be/hPINZPFQlBM?si=stlYCA_podU1poj0"></oembed> **SUZI MACGREGOR** is a Bristol-based vocalist & multi-instrumentalist with a knack for classic songcraft, imbuing her warm, soulful music with a sense of timelessness. She blends the ambitious folk melodies of Laurel Canyon with a more modern pop sensibility, spaciously delivered with gospel-infused grooves. MacGregor's forthcoming debut album _Peregrina_ (out 27 Nov 2026 on **Cuculi Records** ) is a compelling 11-track collection featuring an array of musicians from her newfound Bristol community, produced by Richard Lobb. The album moves smartly through a spectrum of musical moods, yet maintains a coherent continuity anchored by MacGregor's magnetic voice. Written over several years, Peregrina feels like a retrospective on her turbulent twenties, full of travel, change and heartbreak - but, beneath it all, a poignant story of recovery and reclamation. <oembed url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0k5q03fmaJk"></oembed> **WORKSHOP INFORMATION ** **6pm - 7pm in St. Bartholomew's Church** _Join contemporary folk song writer Claire Vine for a collaborative, group songwriting workshop. This workshop is for everyone - even if you don’t consider yourself a musician, we will all work together to create a shared song. Songs for Change is a joyful exploration into how songwriting can be a vital form of expressing ourselves in times of uncertainty, with a focus on hope and creating change through telling positive stories._ _We will invite participants to think about what change they would like to see in the world as a starting point and from here we will co-create a short, catchy song that you can take out into the world, share with all your friends… or maybe even sing at a protest!_ | |||

Guided by a live DJ, we flow through an epic soundscape of all genres: fast and slow, classical to psytrance, drum and bass to dub - no style is off-limits! The music moves in waves; starting gently, building to vibrant peaks, and ending in stillness. There are no steps, no judgment, no need to perform - just pure, free expression. We generally dance barefoot, without talking, in a sober, mindful space where respect and presence create a safe container. Ecstatic Dance is transformative, playful, and deeply liberating. It releases stress, boosts endorphins, and connects us to community, ourselves, and even a higher source. It can truly one of the most magical experiences life has to offer! * * * **Guidelines** **To keep the space safe and enjoyable for everyone, we follow these simple guidelines:** - **Speech:** No chatting on the dance floor - sounding is welcome but please be considerate of others. - **Footware:** We like to dance barefoot to ground, but if you need to wear shoes, please bring clean soft indoor shoes and be mindful of people's toes! - **Boundaries /consent:** Respect others' personal space & check for consent before dancing with someone. If you're not sure whether it's a 'yes', treat it like a 'no'. There is no need to dress to impress! This is not a space where you need to look good… this is a movement meditation. - **Substances:** No alcohol, drugs or other substances - this is a sober practice - **Screen free:** No phones or cameras during the dance - drop out of your head and into your body and give yourself the gift of switching off! The team may take short videos/pictures for promotional reasons - if you do not want to be in a video/photo, please let us know before or after the dance. - **Feel free:** Dance how you want; as much or as little movement as is right for you - this is a non-judgemental space. Feel free to close your eyes, bring a blindfold, dance to the wall... you do you!! * * * **What should I wear/bring?** - Comfy clothes you can move freely in - layers are useful as you might get really hot dancing then cool down when still. - Earplugs if you're sensitive to loud music. - A journal and pen if you like to write. - Your beautiful self, a water bottle (refill available) and curiosity! | |||

The feeling of being securely wrapped in a silk hammock from head to toe, suspended in the air, slowly rocking, with the gentle breath meditation, the crystal bowls and the ambient music created a sublime and profound atmosphere. It was as if I was in a cocoon of total support, allowing peace to flow into my entire being."_ - Alison _"Being someone who is always on the move and finds it very difficult to relax, I found this session to be really valuable ‘me time!’ Initially, I found it difficult to let go and unwind where the muscles in my arms and legs were contracting. After a few minutes, I started to drift away into a soft slumber which was deeply relaxing. Despite this my senses were heightened and I became very conscious of the sounds that seemed to travel through my ears, vibrating all the way into my body. The gentle movements of the hammock with the music in the background made me feel like a young infant being rocked to sleep. A wonderfully calming and soothing experience, with the added bonus of not having to put in any physical effort. Great! I look forward to more of this." _- Navpreet ### **WHY HAMMOCKS? ROCK-ABYE-BABY & RESEARCH** Two new studies published in Current Biology suggest our brains are evolutionarily programmed to respond to rocking. Research also provides insight into why rocking is calming to babies. The brain wave synchronization occurs much easier through a rocking motion and allows the baby to feel more at home (i.e. it feels closer to being in the womb). And let’s not forget that we spend the first nine months of our lives being gently rocked in an amniotic sea. _“Since immemorial times we’ve rocked our babies, and often ourselves, to sleep,” _says lead author on the new paper, Konstantinos Kompotis, at the University of Lausanne, also in Switzerland. _“Our study provides new insights into the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying this phenomenon.”_ Dr Michael J Breus, a Certified Sleep Specialist, states that it’s the simplest of soothing, sleep-inducing remedies, something we all naturally do: rocking a baby gently to sleep. But why does it work? How exactly does a gentle rhythmic motion change the sleep architecture of the brain? **Repetitive motions, like those experienced in the gentle rocking of a hammock,** can soothe anxiety. Dr. Herbert Benson, founder of Harvard’s Mind/Body Medical Institute, recommends repetitive movement to elicit your body’s relaxation response. This reaction allows a lower heart rate, blood pressure, and muscle tension. **The gentle rocking of a hammock** will boost brain wave oscillations associated with better sleep and has been shown to provide a fertile ground for deep relaxation. More specifically, the rocking fortifies the brain waves that are naturally present during sleep which help maintain deep relaxation. Neuroscientist Laurence Bayer of the University of Geneva in Switzerland, likens the findings to our intuitive appreciation that a slowly rocking hammock can relax us and do wonders for our mood. _“This is potentially a very promising avenue for future clinical research,” he notes. _Rocking to sleep may have significant health benefits such as better quality of sleep and even improved long-term memory formation. **We all instinctively know about the power of a soothing, repetitive rocking motion and this in combination with live ambient soundscapes and aromatherapy is a potent synthesis for deep relaxation.** ### **ORGANIZER/ FACILITATOR/ MUSICIAN** **💙** [**Diana Upite (Dee):**](https://www.instagram.com/diana.upite/) Trained in classical music from a young age in Latvia, and later moving to UK to study contemporary music, **Dee carries a life-long passion for singing, improvising and re-imagining traditional Celtic and folk songs with her own melodic vision.** A singer at heart, she connects deeply with the melodies and harmonies of ancient Europe and beyond.

| Samhain Autumn Alignment Day Retreat | Sat, Oct 31, 10:00 AM UTC | The Haybarn Retreats Venue, Wall under Heywood, Church Stretton, UK | 3mxkalwq7k222 | Curator | As the nights draw in and the days get colder, we gather together on Samhain for a day of warmth, music, and connection 🍂 Samhain marks an ancient turning point in the wheel of the year, the end of the harvest and the beginning of the darker months. Traditionally, it is believed to be a time when the veil between the material and spiritual worlds is at its thinnest; a moment to honour those who walked before us, give thanks for what has been, and create space for what is yet to come. Surrounded by the Shropshire countryside at the Haybarn, we'll spend the day slowing down and reconnecting with ourselves, each other and the mystery of life through practices that nourish the body, heart and soul. 🎶 **Live Music from Bonnie Medicine** An intimate live performance with this incredible artist to carry us into the spirit of Samhain through music and song. 🙏 **Kirtan with Gurpreet & Rajan** Coming together through the ancient practice of devotional chanting, allowing our individual voices to become one. 🔥 **Samhain Fire Ceremony with Alex Dudgon** As darkness falls, we'll gather around the fire for a special ceremony honouring our ancestors and those we have lost to spirit. **✍️ Affirmations Workshop with Gurj (Seek Within)** An empowering and uplifting workshop exploring the science and spirituality of affirmations, how they influence the way we think and feel, and how to use them effectively before putting them into practice together as a group. 🧘 **The Art of Letting Go: Yin Yoga & Surrendering with Victoria (Wild Love Yoga)** A deeply restorative Yin Yoga journey inviting you to surrender the roles you play, soften into stillness and move from doing into simply being, using long-held postures and mindful breath to cultivate presence, acceptance, clarity and deeper connection to yourself. **🍂 Samhain opening ceremony with Sofia & Sandra Barnes** A grounding start to the day, offering to our ancestors, journeying through sound healing, and gently landing into the day as we connect with the deeper energy and dreaming of Samhain. 🥘 **Nourishing Lunch & Dinner with Tribe432** Two beautiful meals will be served during the day, giving us time to eat, connect and share together. 🍹 **The Conscious Bar ** Keith will be bringing his infamous Conscious Bar, serving delicious alcohol-free creations throughout the gathering. And when the programme comes to an end, there's no need to rush home. You're welcome to stay around the fire, connect with the community and allow the evening to unfold, with the option to stay overnight at The Haybarn. _ **\*All workshops, live music, and nourishing meals are included in your ticket. Drinks to be purchased separately. ** _ ✨ Tickets are only £88, covering the full day of workshops, music, and meals. With a limited amount available, we recommend booking soon to avoid disappointment. We ask people to arrive from 10am, with the event running 11am–10pm. After the programme of events, you’re welcome to relax and socialise around the fire into the night. Overnight stay is available at the Haybarn for £22 (in the barn or your live-in vehicle), with access to warm showers included. Please note, you’ll need to bring your own bedding if staying in the barn as it’s an empty room with a hard floor. We'd love to share this special day with you! A day to remember those who came before us, celebrate life, and to gather around the fire as we cross the threshold towards winter ❤️ | |||
| Return to Connection: Breathwork for Relationships. | – | – | 3mxkalwsleu22 | Curator | **Breathwork for relationships makes so much sense…** Things can get stagnant, underlying issues can fester, closeness can shift to distance and disconnect. Talking and talking therapy is amazing, bringing deep awareness and understanding and yet there can often be a resistance, challenge or struggle to let go of old stories and to make space for what is present, alive and emerging. ## **Why breathwork? ** - Breathwork takes us into an alternative state of consciousness where the frontal cortex (a.k.a thinking mind) is put on hold. - In a safe, supported and nurturing environment limiting beliefs, habitual thought patterns, the outsourcing finger pointer and inner critic are dialled down. - The physical, emotional, energetic and spiritual body has the opportunity to recalibrate and go through a ‘factory reset’ letting go of energy, tension, feelings and emotions that have been blocked. - This in turn clears the internal transmitters and receptors that are essential for the healthy exchange of honesty, vulnerability, appreciation and love. A bit like a good spring clean after a winter where there has been some low energy and some deeper work going on. **How does this help relationships?** - When there is a shared intention for connection and openness breathwork offers a space for armour and tension to soften. - It invites a shared appreciation for the powerful gift of presence and awareness. - Bringing a fresh sense of energy and what it means to feel true to the heart, and to see that in one another is a unique experience that supports healthy connection at all stages and all types of relationship. **Interested?** Get in touch and we can arrange a time for a free 15 minute discovery chat. **About me…** I offer these sessions having reflected on the challenges and successes of relationships with partners, friends and family. I won't pretend to have mastered the mystery of human connection but what I can say hand on heart is that being true to ourselves is the biggest gift we can give to the world, and is the foundational piece in all healing, growth and abundance. Regardless of how impressive the building, if the foundations lack integrity the view from the penthouse will be viewed with a heart that is discontent. **About my practice…** I bring a grounded, intuitive presence to my work as a facilitator. I am a trauma aware Embodied Resilience Practitioner and Conscious Connected Breathwork Facilitator, working with somatic experiencing and central nervous system regulation. I am trained in Non-Violent Communication, and spent 2.5 years working in alcohol and substance use recovery, facilitating support groups and working one-to-one with people during periods of deep challenge, transition, and growth. As a client I have enjoyed and grown through psychodynamic counselling, IFS, and Imago Therapy. In the last year I have been exploring a Shamanic Journeying practice through workshops and 1:1 sessions, as well as a form of bodywork called Quantum Structural Intergration. With reference to all the above, my practice explores a hybrid of cognitive and somatic work to find balance and flow in everyday life. I offer 1:1 coaching as well as couples and group work, and also work alongside Chris Giesler @ Men Of Earth offering menswork retreats and monthly meet ups. | |||

Bethan, a yoga, sound and drum circle facilitator, holds spaces to bring people together to ground and gather, whilst having fun and building connection to ourselves and those around us in a way that feels real, welcoming and supportive. She came to yoga when she began to fall out of love with the general fitness world, and it has been a huge part of her journey with chronic pain, providing mobility and strength she otherwise may have never had. Her discovery of sound healing, and then especially when re-discovering the drum, felt like a real homecoming. Not gatekeeping music and sound to the performative world where you have to be “good at it”, instead opening this up for all of us to feel into its transformational power. Bethan believes sound has an unbelievable ability to bring us into presence, release stress and find connection or clarity. Whether a fluid flow, a restorative sound bath or an energising drumming circle, her offerings take deep inspiration around the lunar cycles and the seasons, as Bethan believes that nature and our land has so much to show us. Hence why outside of these spaces you’ll usually find her in the water, way out in the countryside (likely lost) or drumming around the stones of Avebury! | |||

In the Yurt, Jolly Nice, Frampton Mansell, Stroud, GL6 8HZ 🌿 **Perhaps you have heard of the wonders of yoga or the transformational power that sound can have? ** Whether you are looking to try something new, have tried one but not the other, or would simply love a space to enjoy them both, come along to leave feeling inspired, refreshed and buzzing with energy (possibly literally!). Both of these practices have been huge parts of my life, in overcoming chronic pain, and finding my voice and strength again, so I am so excited to share these short but jam-packed sessions with you to experience for yourself. 🌿 Join us this Autumn for 1 hour sessions to tap into the rhythms of nature, both through physical movement and the vibration of drumming together. We will start with a short yoga flow, weaving breathwork, fluid movement and longer held stretches to ease out any tension in the body and to get some energy moving. From here, we will move from the more physical movement into sound, where we'll drum together to feel into our collective rhythm and power. 🌿 **All are welcome** , there is no need to have any experience or to be ‘good’ or musical! Within the yoga practice, there are always options for everyone. When we're drumming, it's not about playing to a particular beat/rhythm, rather it's just drumming with whichever intention we would like to work with and allowing it to flow. 🌿 Drums/rattles will be provided. If you have your own, you are invited to bring it along so we have more to go round! As with most of my events, these will all take inspiration from the other rhythms of nature - the seasons, lunar cycles and more.

| IFS, Parts & Psychedelics | Tue, Oct 27, 4:00 PM UTC | – | 3mxkam2qz3f22 | Curator | # IFS Parts & Psychedelics ### A 4-week Course Guiding the Inner System ### through IFS and Psychedelic Integration _In Collaboration with_ [_Life Architect_](https://lifearchitect.com/) ## About This four-part module series introduces key Internal Family Systems (IFS) concepts and how we utilize them in preparation, journey, and integration of psychedelic journeys. Applying IFS can maximize impact and safety within Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy (PAT). Our time together will be a blend between didactic and experiential exercises giving you time to learn content and practice. Case stories will enhance concepts and practices of this work. Four four-hour modules will be broken down as follows: - **Module 1** – Overview of the IFS Model: Basic IFS Principals (85% IFS and 15% PAT) [This is the basis for all other modules.] - **Module 2** – Deepening our Inquiry into the Protective System: Protector Fears (both in regular sessions and as relates to journeys) and Reassurances (50% IFS and 50% PAT) - **Module 3** – Polarizations, Following the Thread, and Guides and Unattached Burdens (50% IFS and 50% PAT) - **Module 4** – The Guide’s Set and Setting – How We Use IFS in Preparation, Journey, and Integration, as well as Integration with Post-Unburdening Maintenance and Neuroplasticity (90% PAT - putting it all together). This course is for those who are already facilitating psychedelic journeys, plan to, are facilitating preparation and integration, or have been trained in PAT and planning to offer services. _Although a background in IFS and facilitation is helpful during this course, it is not mandatory to be a facilitator or working in the field to join. _ ### **Learning Objectives:** - Identify the four goals of IFS - Apply basics of IFS in your psychedelic services - Identify and distinguish your Self from your parts (and those of your clients) - Speak for rather than from your parts and learn why this is important ### **Why Internal Family Systems?** - In over 80% of psychedelic journeys “parts” come up spontaneously - It’s non-pathologizing and non-judgmental - Psychedelics can open up the space of “Self” - Knowing about your own system begins to provide for safety in the medicine space - IFS is evidence-based and the fastest growing modality - It provides for deeper transformational healing - It’s a methodology that has a solid foundation and has gained incredible interest ## Schedule 4xTuesdays 27th October - 17th November - Tuesday 27th October 4pm-8pm (GMT) / 8am-12:00pm (PST) - Tuesday 3rd November 4pm-8pm (GMT) / 8am-12:00pm (PST) - Tuesday 10th November 4pm-8pm (GMT) / 8am-12:00pm (PST) - Tuesday 17th November 4pm-8pm (GMT) / 8am-12:00pm (PST) # Your Facilitator  Michelle Glass is a Certified Level 3 IFS Practitioner, Oregon Licensed Psilocbyin Facilitator, and Alternative Counselor in Eugene, Oregon who has 20 years of IFS experience and has accumulated over 380 hours of direct study with Richard Schwartz, PhD, the founder of IFS. She developed and is the author of the Daily Parts Meditation Practice®: A Journey of Embodied Integration for Clients and Therapists, which has become a valued method of deep embodiment of the IFS Model and healing integration. The DPMP® was trademarked in Spring 2022 and contains six tools of integration which is now also available in both English and Spanish. These tools of integration can also be found within the IFS-inspired app called Sentur. She has given workshops on the DPMP® online and across the globe. Her focus has shifted to IFS and Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy. Michelle is currently writing a workbook for psychedelic preparation and integration using the DPMP® tools. A complementary series of IFS-inspired preparation and integration for psychedelic journeys will be available in early 2025 (as well as available within the Sentur app). She offers a 22-Hour Comprehensive IFS Introductory for Psychedelic Facilitators course a few times a year, as well as provides smaller workshops aimed to help IFS-trained professionals better support their clients who are seeking out psychedelics outside of their services. Michelle received a Certificate in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy from Naropa Institute and Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) in 2022. In addition, she served as the Editor for OUTLOOK, the Foundation for Self Leadership’s magazine, for seven years. She used IFS to heal from a traumatic childhood and is now an enthusiastic Hope Merchant. Michelle wants to help everyone experience that same healing. She takes great pleasure in bringing more Self-energy and Self-leadership to psychedelic facilitators, creating safer medicine spaces. Michelle is honored to have both Dick Schwartz and Gabor Maté as mentors and friends. She is the proud mother and step-mother of three incredible grown children. Outside of her work life, she enjoys regular visits to ocean, gardening, canning and drying garden produce, camping, cooking, listening to podcasts, writing, and time spent with friends and family. # Life Architect [**Life Architect**](http://www.lifearchitect.com) is an education and retreat organization dedicated to empowering mental health professionals through immersive, transformative learning experiences.

| Professional Diploma in SOMA Transcendence Therapy (STT) | – | – | 3mxkam2xbnh22 | Curator | A mentored, clinically grounded training for people already working with others who keep meeting the edge of what talking can reach. SOMA stands for Somatic Orientation, Meaning and Alignment: body first, then meaning, then a life that matches. Begin with seven months of Space Holder training and continue, if it is right for you, into the full 15-month Professional Diploma. - Duration: 7 months (Space Holder, Level 5 aligned) or 15 months (full Diploma, Level 6 aligned) - Format: Online, live and mentored, with optional in-person Elemental Retreats - Structure: One module per month, so the learning has time to land - Cohort: September 2026 start Teaching: Two live coaching calls each month, mentored triads, monthly student practice, self-directed study - Assessment: Practical assignments, supervised practice hours, case studies and reflections There is a moment most practitioners recognise. The client has understood their pattern completely. They can name it, date it, explain it. And it is still running. SOMA Transcendence Therapy was built for that moment. SOMA stands for Somatic Orientation, Meaning and Alignment, and that is also the order of the work: orient the body and the nervous system first, then meet meaning, then bring it into alignment with how someone actually lives. Body, mind and soul are treated as one system rather than three separate departments. The body is regulated and resourced, the mind is worked with directly through language and attention, and the deeper, older layer people call soul is given a real container rather than being left to a weekend of intensity. Three disciplines carry that work, and students train in all three: - Naturopathy. Hydration, nutrition, gut health, rest, breath and the physiology that makes any therapy hold. A dysregulated body does not integrate insight. - NLP. Language, focus and physiology. How to move a state, reframe a belief, anchor a change and set an outcome that a client can actually reach. - Shamanic practice. Ceremony, drum journey, the Celtic wheel, ancestors and allies. Depth work with clear ethics, clear consent and no appropriation. A note on altered states. The training works extensively with altered states of consciousness: shamanic journeying, drum and rhythm, breathwork, sound and voice, meditation, hypnotic language, fasting, cold exposure and somatic release. No psychedelic substance is used, offered or facilitated at any point in the 15 months. Psychedelic-assisted work is a separate post-diploma specialisation and is not part of this programme. The training is led by Fed Podeschi through the Shamanic Activations Academy, alongside the Merlin Clinic where the method is used with real clients. The curriculum, month by month Months 1 to 7: Shamanic Space Holder, Level 5 aligned You learn to hold a room and a nervous system safely, and you can qualify and exit here. - Foundation Principles and Practices: the three roots of the method and how they meet in the body - Understanding Trauma and Healing: trauma physiology, window of tolerance, safe and sacred space - Space Holding Skills: client dynamics, group holding, ceremony design from opening to closing - Professional Development: ethics, scope, insurance, referral and practitioner self-care - Traditions and Allies: the Celtic wheel, trees, moon cycles, elements and ancestors - Additional Practices: altered states, journeying, somatic inquiry and the STT Alignment Tool - Integration and Review: integration after altered states, breakthrough facilitation, assessment By the end you can design and hold a safe altered-state process one to one or in a group, with consent, containment and aftercare in place. Months 8 to 15: Professional Diploma in STT, Level 6 aligned - You become a practitioner who can take a client through a course of therapy. - Client Charter, Coaching and Professional Practice: intake, assessment, planning, notes and safety protocols - Deep Dive and Practices: advanced STT methodology, energy work in session, working a real case end to end - Shamanic Therapy and Group Transformation: retreat design, the eight-phase drum journey, breathwork facilitation - Sound Tools, Music and Singing: voice, instruments and entrainment, with nutrition and gut health as the base - Human Connection, Intimacy, Family Systems and Loss: attachment, sexuality and ethics, family systems, grief - Shadow Integration and Crisis Healing: depth work with containment, and recognising when to hold or refer - Specialist Masterclasses and Building Your Practice: your specialisation, named method and real infrastructure - Certification and Practice: supervised client hours, case studies, final assessment and qualification What you will be able to do - Hold ceremony, session and group safely, with clear consent and clear scope - Assess and screen a client, plan a course of work, and know confidently when to refer on - Move a state with breath, sound, drum, language and touch-free somatic method - Work with the body rather than around it, so change is felt and not only understood - Support integration so insight becomes a changed life rather than a good story - Run a professional practice with proper notes, supervision, ethics and a viable income After the Diploma Graduates may continue into the advanced post-diploma specialisation in psychedelic-assisted therapy, delivered with legal partners abroad. That pathway sits entirely outside this training and is open only to those who have completed the Diploma. Who it is for Therapists, counsellors, coaches, bodyworkers, nurses, teachers, breathwork and sound practitioners, and space holders already working with people. Beginners with genuine calling and emotional maturity are considered individually. It tends not to suit anyone wanting a fast credential without doing their own work first.

The Cosmic Embrace of Sound Experience the sheer power of sound as it transports you on a timeless, galactic journey of tone and pulsation. Allow yourself to be bathed in an ethereal ocean of vibration. Enjoy the deep, complex overtones of multiple gongs singing together, resonating continuously through the night. On this magical portal when the veil is thin and the Earth is charged, we are primed to receive maximum benefits. This immersive soundscape melts the boundaries between being awake and asleep, between your inner world and the cosmos beyond. An All-Night Gong Puja is a truly magical experience. As you drift to sleep with a symphony of gongs playing, the sounds work to transform your brainwaves, guiding you into a state of the deepest conscious sleep. Meditate or surrender to slumber as the gongs harmonize your entire being, facilitating profound rest and healing. "The gong is the spirit song. It is the primal whisper of the soul. Its sounds are the echo of the original word that created the world, the sound within all sounds." Yogi Bhajan Gongs are incredible instruments of Transformation and cosmic healing. They generate powerful, intense vibrations that stimulate feelings of peace and deep relaxation, allowing for the release of stress and the enhancement of your overall well-being. The sound of the gongs opens the gates to universal love, connecting you with all that is. As you create this harmonious space around yourself, you'll realize the magnificent power you possess to create your own happiness and well-being. This journey will help you release emotional blocks, creating a hallowed space within you to fill with pure love, grace and tranquility. Benefits of Gong Baths 🌠 • Deep relaxation and rejuvenation for your body and cells • Anxiety and stress relief • Improved sleep and emotional release • Pain and swelling relief • Aura cleansing and chakra balancing • Awakened intuition and connection with light and spirit • Gaining a deeper knowledge of yourself and your unlimited possibilities • Healing that which aches the soul Event Schedule • 9:30 pm: Doors open • 10:00 – 10:45 pm: Gentle Kundalini Yoga, Meditation, & Mantras • 10:45 – 11:00 pm: Set up your area • 11:00 pm – 5:30 am: Galactic All-night Gong Puja • 5:30 am: Silence • 6:00 am: Morning meditation with Kwali Kumara • 6:30 am: Sharing circle • 7:00 am: Journey home Our Flow We will begin the evening with gentle Kundalini Yoga stretches to allow your body to open and prepare for the sound waves to flow smoothly, healing and rejuvenating you. This will be followed with sacred mantra to uplift and inspire our souls. After a short break to set up your cozy 'sleeping nests,' you will receive a brief introduction to gongs and vibrations before being bathed in their sound waves until the morning light. As the powerful vibrations and harmonics wash over you, they will induce deep relaxation and natural altered states of consciousness, helping to release tensions and blockages. You will awaken revitalized and rejuvenated, brimming with a new zest for life! The sound may feel quite intense at moments at the beginning of the night, but we will gently ease into a more comforting flow until the early morning. Around 5:30 am, the gongs will fall silent for 30 minutes of stillness and reflection. During this time, you will dive into SHUNIA—a state of deep listening and profound silence—before being gently awakened by the sounds of the shabd, (healing mantras) that help you arise into a new you and a new life. We will then perform some celestial meditation to celebrate our fresh new beginning. What to Bring 🧘 To ensure you have the most comfortable experience, please bring the following: • Comfortable Clothing: Wear clean, comfortable clothes (light colors are best). The hall is warm, but please bring extra layers like socks, slippers, or jumpers to ensure you stay cozy throughout the night. • Sleeping Gear: Pillows, a sleeping bag, blankets, duvets, a camping/yoga mat, or any other items that will help you be comfortable as you will be sleeping on the floor. • Essentials: An eye mask, earplugs, water, and healthy snacks for the morning. • Nourishment: Have a good meal at least one hour before the event, but do not eat anything too heavy. Strictly no alcohol or Intoxicants. Anyone under the influence will not be permitted to participate. Please Note: Tickets are non-refundable and non-exchangeable. You may pass it on to a friend. Facilitators The Gong Bath will be led by Gong Teachers: • Joanna Bilik • Kwali Kumara • & Special Guests What is a Gong Puja? Puja (Sanskrit & Pali: pūjā) is an expression of "honor and devotional attention." A Gong Puja is a sacred space for honoring our being's innate ability to heal—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It is the truest form of honoring thyself! In our Galactic all-night Gong Puja, the gongs are played gently throughout the night while guests sleep, bathed in their healing vibrations. As you are immersed in this cosmic ocean of sound, you repair and rejuvenate as the vibrations wash over you, cleansing, unblocking, and setting you free. The powerful harmony created by the gong tones brings about an inner stillness where deep healing can occur. The pioneering Swiss mathematician and musicologist Hans Cousto, who calculated the planetary frequencies used in today's gongs, discovered it takes 45 minutes to complete a full sound journey. Yogi Bhajan, the Master of Kundalini Yoga, believed the gong was the most powerful tool for healing, and that this 45-minute session could clear immediate blocks. He stated that ten consecutive gong healings would clear most blocks so that the soul could then heal itself, relieving the body of human suffering and helping us return to a state of belonging and joy. In 2000, Grand Gong Master Don Conreaux, whom Joanna produced a movie that achieved viral YouTube Status “Journey into Gongs and Sound Therapy” about and facilitated with many times, developed the first official Overnight Gong Puja to deliver these ten consecutive gong baths in one grand night of healing. As participants slept, their minds could float in a state of cosmic consciousness while their bodies rested in the most optimal state for healing—deep sleep. This 7.5-hour experience is the equivalent of ten 45-minute gong baths, a truly timeless journey. Important Information: Is a Gong Puja suitable for everyone? Gong baths, in general, are not suitable for anyone with a pacemaker, those who suffer from fits (epileptics), or anyone who is extremely sensitive to sound. They are also not recommended for women in the first trimester of pregnancy due to the unstable nature of that time. If you wear a hearing aid, please turn it off during the session. If you have any health concerns, please consult with your doctor in advance. Looking forward to celebrating and serving you with love. Joanna Bilik 07973353815 Kwali Kumara 07795273401 | |||
| Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra | Fri, Oct 30, 6:15 PM UTC | Abbotswood Sports Ground, Cutforth Way, Romsey, UK | 3mxkam3ijnu22 | Curator | **A portal to rest and rebalance** These classes run fortnightly on Friday evenings at Abbotswood Function room (Abbotswood Sports Ground, Cutforth Way, Romsey) Yin yoga consists of a series of poses held for up to several minutes at a time.

| Bad Girl Bootcamp | Wed, Oct 14, 6:00 PM UTC | The Tribe, Berry Pomeroy, Totnes, UK | 3mxkam3lqu422 | Curator | **If you're craving an edgy and exciting space where you can explore taboo topics and unpack your shadow material, with love, mischief and celebration at the core, this is for you. ** We are creating a container safe _enough_ for real daring, where you can be tender, vulnerable, open-hearted, wild and an unapologetic badass bitch all at once. _ **Together we'll shift how you relate to desire, boundaries and power, helping you get more clarity on what you really want, and practice standing up for yourself with confidence, kindness and skill.** _ ## [_ **Check out our taster event on the 30th September** _](https://dandelion.events/e/badgirltaster) .jpg) _The Vibe_ ## **Why Badgirl Bootcamp?** As women we've been societally conditioned to be the peace-makers, the people pleasers, the 'good girls'. Even those of us who are years into ‘the work’, still find ourselves bending our boundaries to accommodate others, holding back from asking for what we really want, and shying away from wielding the power that’s available to us. Bad Girl Bootcamp is a closed group for women on the journey of personal development, who are ready to explore and transform their relationship to desires, boundaries and power. **Through this work, we become women who:** - Speak truth to power and challenge systems of oppression - Claim our right to rest, pleasure, and play - Ask for what we're worth - in money, time, and recognition - Redirect energy spent on invisible labour towards things we care about - Stop trying to do everything ourselves and start asking for the support we need - Celebrate our own victories and revel in the success of others  ## **What Happens in Bad Girl Bootcamp?** This work is about what happens to us _in relationship -_ the way we bend, crumble or shrink around others - so the sessions centre on partner and group exercises designed to get to the root of our 'good girl' conditioning, and to practice, with real humans, standing up for ourselves with power and love. Drawing on over a decade of group facilitation experience, we hold this as an emergent space, responding to the themes arising in the group rather than making our way through a fixed curriculum. The group is heavily inspired by the work of Kasia Urbaniak, Taoist nun, world-class dominatrix, teacher and author, whose potent and playful teachings have been influential in our own empowerment journeys. Using some of Kasia's frameworks, we'll explore desire, boundaries and power in an embodied way, bringing the teachings to life through movement and voice-work. Some things we will include: - **Partner and group inquiry** - to unearth the root causes of our relationship patterns - **Movement and dance** - to regulate and energise our bodies, making us more available for the work - **Embodied games** - to playfully explore and rewire our relationship to desire and power - **Voice work, song, and sounding ritual** - to release emotion and support us to unlock our voices. - **Role play** - to practice asking for what we want or giving challenging feedback - **Small group sharing circles** - to process what’s arising in session, witnessing and celebrating each other  ## The Commitment This is a closed container, which means we’ll be journeying with the same group of women for 5 sessions over 3 months. To preserve the integrity of the space, we request attendance at all sessions and prompt time keeping. This helps us to create a tight container, showing respect for each other’s time, and builds trust and depth week on week. We’ll of course be flexible in the case of sickness or emergency, but if your life is already crammed, or you know there’s more than one date you can’t do, we request that you wait until next time we run this group, as lateness and dropping in and out become disruptive to the group process. ### **Dates and Times** Sessions are held every other Wednesday from 7-9:30pm 1. 14th Oct 2. 28th Oct 3. 11th Nov 4. 25th Nov 5. 9th Dec Please arrive 10-15 minutes before 7pm so we can get settled and ready to begin at 7. * * * ## About your Facilitators  ## Gaia Harvey Jackson Gaia is a group work facilitator specialising in women's empowerment, relationship coaching, and conscious dance.

| Nonviolent Communication Online Practice Group | Sun, Nov 8, 7:00 PM UTC | – | 3mxkam3msjp22 | Curator | Have you had some experience of NVC? This is an opportunity to build on that foundation, learning the deeper holistic and practical understandings and applications of this approach, with me, Clare Palmer, Certified Trainer in NVC with over 20 years experience. If you are perhaps struggling to integrate NVC into your life and its challenges, this course is an excellent way to explore how to bring these ideas into your daily life and form lasting habits. This is a 14-week course, held on Zoom usually every 2 weeks, on a Sunday evening 7 – 8.30 pm starting on Sunday 8 November 2026. In each session we work with a chapter of Marshall Rosenberg’s book Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life, using the Companion Workbook written by Lucy Leu, which participants are encouraged to buy. I will lead you through different themes each session, for example Giving from the Heart, or Taking Responsibility for Our Feelings. This course is aimed at those who have completed a Foundation in Nonviolent Communication or equivalent training or study. Please contact me if you’re not sure if the course is suited to you. Because everyone will already have basic knowledge, we will be able to dive into themes with greater depth. Because the course takes place over about 6 months and “homework” is encouraged between sessions, this is a really powerful way of integrating this approach into your life over a long period of time with the support of the group. There will be a mixture of exercises and activities including chances to explore challenges and examples from your own life. The course will run if at least 6 people sign up. Group size maximum 12. I have been leading practice groups like this for 20 years and will make sure each participant is included and supported. | |||

| Joy of Three Temple - The Temple of Trinity | Sat, Dec 5, 10:30 AM UTC | Ashley Vale Action Group - Wildgoose Space, Mina Road, Bristol, UK | 3mxkam3qozy22 | Curator | **Joy of Three - The Temple of Trinity** Between solo self-love, the intimate meeting of “pairs” and the sensual pile-up of “group”, there is three. The Ménage à Trois is often the first fantasy we grow outside of the couple. When we add an additional person, we add a whole new infinite dimension to the possibilities. Three is three dimensional. Where before we had serve/receive, we now have serve/receive/observe, serve/receive/assist, serve/serve/receive, serve/contain/direct and more… It is this configuration that we now call into this temple seeking the deeper Mystery of three. The material world presents in polarity and at a hidden level, reality is often based in trinity: Positive/Negative/Neutral, Father/Mother/Child, God/Human/Ghost, Masculine/Feminine/Androgyne. Three is about learning to share. Leaving behind polarity as a default and “union” as a goal, we offer you a space to explore move freely through and play within the trinities in an infinite spectrum of possibilities. This can offer a space to break our attachments to fixed identity. The power released in this alchemical dynamic becomes the dynamo of our Temple, to rejuvenate our spirit and freshly re-generate culture. Join us in this juicy exploration of personal pleasure and collective power. The first half of the day will be offered through embodied and connection mediations and practices. In the second half we enter into a free flowing playtime — we then invite you to let it all go, in the temple of Trinity. **Date ** : Saturday 5th December **Time: ** 10.30am to 5.30pm **Venue :** The Wild Goose, The Yard, St Werburghs, Bristol, BS2 9YP. **Cost :** Price £85, Low income - £75, Abundant supporters £85 **Things to bring: ** - An offering/flower for the shrine - A yummy dish to share for lunch - Something tasty and delicious to share with the group for snack - We will provide herbal teas and a fruit platter **Further information: ** **This temple is not for beginners.** You do need to have been to at least two temples before. You do need to have experience of being in similar spaces with a certain level of awareness, openness and willingness to explore is essential for your own self-care and also the synergy of the group.

| Release and Rise Ecstatic Dance + QiGong - Cambridge | Sat, Oct 17, 5:00 PM UTC | Storey's Field Centre, Eddington Avenue, Cambridge, UK | 3mxkam45o7h22 | Curator | Release & Rise + Qi-Gong— A Journey into Regulation, Movement & Freedom A 3-hour embodied journey to regulate your nervous system, release tension, reconnect with your body, and discover greater freedom and ease through movement and dance. The Journey First 40 minutes — Regulation, Body Awareness & Free Movement We begin by slowing down, arriving in the body and creating a sense of grounding and presence. Through gentle nervous-system regulation, breathwork and body awareness, we explore free movement through Qi-Gong practice with the guest teacher @Michelle Brace. Using simple movements, spirals, and energy exploration, we begin to notice sensations, soften tension and discover new possibilities for movement — without forcing or following choreography. You’ll be introduced to simple tools that can support regulation, resilience, energy and emotional balance, while developing a deeper awareness of how your body feels and moves. 1 hour 40 minutes — Ecstatic Dance Wave From this grounded place, we gather in a circle and begin with a short grounding meditation before moving into the Ecstatic Dance Wave. The music takes us on a carefully curated journey — from grounding and release into expansion, vitality and joy, before gradually returning towards calm and stillness. There are no steps to follow and no right or wrong way to move. This is an invitation to listen to your body, explore free movement and express yourself authentically. Last 15 minutes — Relaxation & Integration We close with a soothing 15-minute guided full-body relaxation, giving your nervous system and body time to settle and integrate the experience. Afterwards, there is space to stay, relax, have a chat and connect with others — or simply enjoy some quiet time for yourself. Important Information Beginners welcome — no experience needed Alcohol- and drug-free space No phones on the dance floor Footage may be taken of the space for promotion, but no direct or identifiable photos of participants Please arrive on time — doors open 15 minutes before the start If you wish to join only the dance, please get in touch What to Bring Comfortable clothes — we dance barefoot Water and snacks Optional yoga mat, cushion or blanket A curious, compassionate, wild heart Why Join? ✓ Learn simple tools to support nervous-system regulation ✓ Release tension through embodied movement ✓ Explore fascia, breath and body awareness ✓ Discover new possibilities through free movement ✓ Experience freedom and self-expression through dance ✓ Reconnect with vitality, joy and embodied strength ✓ Leave feeling grounded, lighter and more alive Created and guided with integrity, simplicity and care by Teia Peters.

| Family Constellations November Group | Fri, Nov 20, 6:45 PM UTC | Birdwood House, High Street, Totnes, UK | 3mxkam4ac7n22 | Curator | Family constellations offers a profound view into the unseen patterns and dynamics shaping our family systems. Through the use of representatives, we activate the ‘field’—a powerful energetic space that reveals the roots behind the challenges and tensions we face. This work shines a light on areas such as: • Health • Creative blocks • Addiction • Love and relationships • Money • Home and belonging Each evening begins with gentle, embodied practices to warm the body, settle the nervous system, and arrive fully into the space. From there, we open the field for participants to bring their topics. We usually have time for two full constellations per session. You’re warmly invited to bring an issue you wish to explore or simply join as a participant in the field. Often, witnessing and holding space for others carries just as much personal insight and potential transformation. **Dates:** 11th September 6.45-9.15pm It is an open group so feel free to join for one session or all the sessions. Venue: Main Room, Birdwood House, High St, Totnes The constellations will be held in the main room of Birdwood house, up the first flight of stairs and on the right. **Ticket policy** Tickets can be transferred to someone else's name any time up until the event — just let us know, or forward your ticket on. If tickets sell out, you can join the waitlist and we'll email you if a space opens up. Refunds are available up to a week before the event. After that, tickets are non-refundable. **About me:** With over 20 years dedicated to ceremony, ritual, and music, constellations naturally became a complementary path for me. I trained intensively for 18 months with Petr Malik in the Czech Republic, deepening my practice in constellations, shadow work, shamanic healing, and tantric ritual. I’m excited to bring this transformative approach to Totnes and create a space for healing and connection. Words from past participants: “It was a real gift” “A remarkable space” “Such a special evening" | |||

| Womb Weavers | Tue, Sep 1, 3:56 PM UTC | – | 3mxkam4dwht22 | Curator | There is more inside you. More aliveness, more depth, more of yourself waiting just beneath the surface. You may have felt it for years, or it may have only just spoken up. Womb Weavers is a women’s membership community where we meet the body with honour, compassion and acceptance, and learn to move at its true pace, which is often one of slowness. Each month we gather online for live guided somatic practice, deep teaching, and a grounded, sacred space where real change happens. We work with the whole body, because this is where the doors open. To expanded states. To fuller aliveness. To the layers of yourself you have not yet had access to. This is not fluffy and not abstract. It is grounded in somatic science and 30 years of embodied practice. Founding-member price is €21/month, locked in for as long as you stay. Come and weave yourself whole, together with other women. | |||
| Malmesbury Mixed Drumming Circle | Mon, Dec 7, 7:00 PM UTC | The Hayloft, The Three Cups Inn, 90 Triangle, Malmesbury, SN16 0AH, UK | 3mxkam4fqwd22 | Curator | Join for an evening to gather and connect to the power of the drum. Gathering as we head towards the Winter Solstice and Yule. A time to retreat inwards, to pause and rest. We will move through meditation, drumming, singing and sharing. No drumming experience necessary, everyone is welcome. This is a space for all to connect with the power and spirit of the drum as we drum together- there is no need to be ‘good’ or musical! Drums/rattles will be provided. If you have your own, you are invited to bring it along so we have more to go round! We meet at each point of the Wheel of the year, so our next circle will be for Imbolc. This date will be confirmed soon. Drop me an email at [rootedwithbethan@gmail.com](mailto:rootedwithbethan@gmail.com) if you have any questions. Would love to drum with you soon! Bethan x P.S. **if you are looking to birth/make your own drum** , myself and a dear friend Toni are holding drum birthing days, throughout the Autumn.

She came to yoga when she began to fall out of love with the general fitness world, and it has been a huge part of her journey with chronic pain, providing mobility and strength she otherwise may have never had. Her discovery of sound healing, and then especially when re-discovering the drum, felt like a real homecoming. Not gatekeeping music and sound to the performative world where you have to be “good at it”, instead opening this up for all of us to feel into its transformational power. Bethan believes sound has an unbelievable ability to bring us into presence, release stress and find connection or clarity. Whether a fluid flow, a restorative sound bath or an energising drumming circle, her offerings take deep inspiration around the lunar cycles and the seasons, as Bethan believes that nature and our land has so much to show us. Hence why outside of these spaces you’ll usually find her in the water, way out in the countryside (likely lost) or drumming around the stones of Avebury! | |||

Believe it or not, this time used to be our New Year! The Celtic celebration of the Year's End & New Beginnings- a time of finding gratitude and releasing what has happened this year to allow new seeds and dreams to be planted for the next. Like how the trees are shedding their leaves to allow for growth and abundance next year, this is an invitation for us to do the same. We will move through meditation, drumming, singing and sharing.

| The Artist's Way Our Way | Mon, Nov 9, 12:00 PM UTC | – | 3mxkam4kaoi22 | Curator | ### The Artist’s Way A 12-week online creative recovery programme for a group of up to 12 people, facilitated by an experienced artist and facilitator. Julia Cameron’s _The Artist’s Way_ is a 12-week creative recovery programme for anyone who feels drawn to exploring or reconnecting with their creativity. This course is designed for people who are new to _The Artist’s Way_, those stuck in a creative block and those who consider themselves “not creative” but would like to be. You can find out more about the programme's principles from Julia Cameron [here](https://www.awakin.org/v2/read/view.php?tid=916). There is also a lot of information online. ### A note on spirituality It is worth mentioning that _The Artist’s Way_ includes the concept of “God”. In newer editions, Cameron explains that “God” can be understood as anything that represents a higher power — nature, the universe, spirit, or something else meaningful to you. It does not need to be religious, but the programme is absolutely spiritual in its values and practices. ### Your facilitator The course is facilitated by Sal, a performance artist, writer and facilitator with more than a decade of experience. After completing _The Artist’s Way_ several years ago, Sal experienced a significant transformation in their own life. They stopped drinking alcohol, moved out of London and began making more art. Their most recent work, a theatre show called _Perfect Little Flirt_, sold out at this year’s Brighton Fringe. Alongside their creative practice, Sal works in alternative provision with young people who have opted out of mainstream education. Through this work, they have developed facilitation strategies rooted in relationship-building, empathy and understanding. As a result, this is not a traditional “classroom” environment. Instead, it is a supportive circle of people finding their own way through the process together. ### The approach We will meet online as a group. Sal will facilitate this group by leading activities from the book, providing prompts for reflection and discussion and answering any questions you may have. The Artist's Way demands that we are working on our creative recovery daily. There are many exercises in the book which you can do suring your week. Of course, this is not always possible for numerous reasons. My take is that, if we can commit to showing up for 90 minutes a week as art of a group, this can still have a significant imapct on your creative practice. You might complete 40% of the course, 85%, or somewhere in between. Sal actively rejects the idea of “100% culture”, recognising that perfectionism can become a barrier to creativity. The aim is not to do the programme perfectly, but to engage with it in whatever way feels meaningful and sustainable for youIf you haven't done the reading, you can still show up and Sal will provide helpful summary sheets of each week. ### What does my money get me? 12 x 90 minute sessions of guided creative recovery with an experienced practitioner Weekly summaries if you can't make a session or haven't been able to do the exercises Look-Forward highlights of the chapter ahead so you know how to plan around your own schedule Optional access to a Whatsapp group with your facilitator, Sal and other consenting members ### A final note Some people have found that this programme creates ripples which positively impact their life for months or years to come. It is worth doing a bit of research and reading or watching some testimonies to see if this is for you before buying a ticket. I personally recommend Doechii's YouTube series about her experience. I hope to see you online for the first session. ### ### Course Dates **Week 1 — Monday 9 November 2026, 6:00–7:30pm** _Recovering a Sense of Safety_ **Week 2 — Monday 16 November 2026, 6:00–7:30pm** _Recovering a Sense of Identity_ **Week 3 — Monday 23 November 2026, 6:00–7:30pm** _Recovering a Sense of Power_ **Week 4 — Monday 30 November 2026, 6:00–7:30pm** _Recovering a Sense of Integrity_ **Week 5 — Monday 7 December 2026, 6:00–7:30pm** _Recovering a Sense of Possibility_ **Week 6 — Monday 14 December 2026, 6:00–7:30pm** _Recovering a Sense of Abundance_ ### Winter Break **Monday 21 December 2026** **Monday 28 December 2026** **Week 7 — Monday 4 January 2027, 6:00–7:30pm** _Recovering a Sense of Connection_ **Week 8 — Monday 11 January 2027, 6:00–7:30pm** _Recovering a Sense of Strength_ **Week 9 — Monday 18 January 2027, 6:00–7:30pm** _Recovering a Sense of Compassion_ **Week 10 — Monday 25 January 2027, 6:00–7:30pm** _Recovering a Sense of Self-Protection_ **Week 11 — Monday 1 February 2027, 6:00–7:30pm** _Recovering a Sense of Autonomy_ **Week 12 — Monday 8 February 2027, 6:00–7:30pm** _Recovering a Sense of Faith_ | |||

| Flourish: Tantric Keys for Happiness: A 4-part workshop for women | Sat, Oct 24, 10:00 AM UTC | Tara Yoga Centre, Ironmonger Row, London, UK | 3mxkam56avk22 | Curator | **Flourish: Tantric Keys for Happiness ** _ **A 4-part workshop for women** _ Join us :) Book via https://tarayogacentre.co.uk/events _What do we need in life to be happy? What would it take to feel fully at home in yourself as a woman?_ Happiness is a journey of discovery rather than a far-away destination. When we are happy, we blossom. Everything and everyone around us begin to blossom too. The ancient system of Tantra holds keys to a happiness that is available in every moment. The Tantrics refer to life as a playground for learning where the everyday ordinary experiences become sublime. Across four workshops we will work with four core attitudes, one per session: **Nourishment** : finding the sweet spot between giving and receiving **Sensuality** : coming back into your senses and feeling the erotic nature of your body **Courage** : acting from what you want rather than from what you fear **Wonder** : meeting the familiar as if for the first time _Each workshop balances and deepens an area of life that is often left on autopilot. Each session will give you something practical to take home. _ Together we will go on a journey, exploring the deepest corners of the heart in a safe and nourishing space. The four sessions build on one another, and each also stands on its own, so come to all four or come to one. Bring a notebook, an open heart, and, if you wish, a friend. _There are no explicit sexual interactions, and there’s no obligation to participate in the exercises. _ **Postponed: the series now starts on Saturday 24th October.** Schedule of the series: **Part 1: Nourish through Love / Come home to your body: 24th October 11am-1pm ** There is a warmth every one of us longs for: the boundless, nourishing love of a mother. It gives without measure and asks for nothing in return. And it is already alive in you, waiting to be awakened. Discover how the intimate art of truly caring, for yourself and for each other, can become an overflowing source of joy and a beautiful journey of coming home to yourself. **Part 2: Savour the pleasures of life / Savour the sweetness of life: 7th November 11am-1pm** The art of savouring all the delights of life is not always easy, yet it lives innately in every woman. What would change if you allowed yourself to enjoy it completely, squeezing the fruit and drinking its sweetness without holding back? To surrender and dive into an ocean of pleasure: this is not indulgence, it is a deep need waiting to be practised. Come and discover the sweetness of life, and the pure joy of tasting it fully. **Part 3: Own your feminine power: 21st November 11am-1pm** What is it to truly know and own your feminine power? This workshop is about the courage to be happy, which is far bolder than it sounds. The courage to choose your own joy and to stand in the light of what you actually are. The courage to want what you really want, to aim as high as your heart asks, and to arrive. A woman who dares this is a woman who is free. Join us and discover the tantric keys that carry you from knowing your power to living it. **Part 4: See the sacred in the everyday / Wake up to wonder: date TBC** Life can seem like a rollercoaster, so how can we be happy through it all? Happiness is not for the chosen few. It is ours to choose. And when you begin to see the sacredness and the magic in life, everything that comes to you reveals itself as a gift. Life becomes sanctified. Come and rediscover the wonder, and the magic that lives in you and all around you. **What you will gain: ** -Practical tools and techniques Concrete practices you can use from the next morning, not ideas you will admire and forget. \_Nourishing time among women -Four Saturday mornings in a circle where nothing is expected of you, nothing is compared, and nothing has to be performed. For many women this alone is worth the series. -Teaching from women who have walked the path Every teacher at Tara has a minimum of seven years of yogic and tantric training and practice behind them. You are receiving a living tradition from women who have actually lived it, not a summary of a book. _Permission_ To enjoy, to want, to rest, to aim high, to be happy without apologising for it. Sounds small on a page. It is usually what women say changed the most. **Who is it for? ** -You want a life that feels full, not just busy. You are doing everything you are supposed to be doing, and something in you is still asking a bigger question. -You are tired of running on stress. You would like to meet your days with calm instead of adrenaline, and to stop carrying the whole week in your shoulders. -You want practical tools, not theory. Methods you can actually use on a Tuesday morning: at work, at home, in the middle of a difficult conversation. -You want to love the people in your life better. As a friend, a sister, a daughter, a partner, a mother, a colleague. Not by giving more of yourself away, but by having more to give. -You are searching, and you have not found the answers yet. You sense there is a deeper knowledge behind all of this, and you want to meet it in a form you can practise rather than only read about. -You long for the company of women. You are looking for a circle where you can be honest, be seen and be supported, with no competition and nothing to perform. -You are curious, and that is enough. No previous experience of yoga or Tantra is required. No belief is required either. Bring your curiosity and your questions. -You are already working on yourself, and you want to go further and deeper. You read, you reflect, you have done the courses and the apps. Now you want something with real depth behind it, and a practice that keeps giving for years rather than weeks. Join us :) Book via https://tarayogacentre.co.uk/events | |||
| Caring Kink - Transforming Shame into Sexy | Sat, Nov 21, 10:45 AM UTC | Bristol, UK | 3mxkam5gxar22 | Curator | **Transforming Shame into Sexy!: ** To be liberated from our shame is to share and play with it. By exploring edgy degradation or humiliation acts we can find so much joy and pleasure in the play and so much connection. This could include: - Selling ourselves and letting ourselves be big and flamboyant - Expressing our little selves and being coddled and looked after - Different shame edges based on gender conditioning. Eg for men it may be emasculation / sissy play or for women it could be sl\*tting about or removing the beauty mask. - Clothed and unclothed play - it can be very erotic to have one person clothed and the other nearly naked. A little story of my early k1nk development... Between ages 11-15 I was bullied by three girls in maths class. Every time. I had maths three times a week. They would intimidate me, make sexual innuendo remarks, draw on my books and eventually convince me that one of them wanted to meet me behind the bike shed, for a snog. I turned up and no one came. The next maths class was more laughter and ridicule. I used to be ashamed of this. I had many other childhood complexities... this is just one. What happened was interesting... I was very young, impressionable and sensitive. However my survival brain transformed shame into erotic power and I developed kinks around this. I got turned on by similar things and these became fetishes and explorations of female dominance, verbal play, teasing, denial and more. The more I played the more I was liberated from shame. The more I then became joyful and developed a loving attitude to myself and to others. Feel free to msg me questions. No need to bring a partner. Oh and we will play in the evening to give you space to explore and create new friendships. It's all PANTS ON to encourage sensual and erotic play without s\*x https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdrG8aqW0oqSVrlU7QkND2gs03MJkCkNinO5XlTYCrXWD7Xxg/viewform | |||
| Buddhist Wisdom for Psychedelic Integration with Will Duncan | Thu, Oct 29, 6:30 PM UTC | – | 3mxkam5irph22 | Curator | We’re grateful to welcome Will Duncan for this special talk and discussion as he shares insights about orienting amidst unstable and disorienting experiences taken from Buddhist insight and the personal experiences from the traditional 3 year Great retreat of Tibetan Buddhism. Buddhist wisdom can offer a powerful framework for understanding and integrating experiences of ego dissolution, deep interconnectedness, and a shifting sense of reality often associated with psychedelic experiences. With Wills humor and unique gift for making deep spiritual wisdom accessible, and practical, we will explore the relavence of Eastern soteriology and consider a secular notion of Buddhist refuge. Come with an open heart and mind as we bridge ancient wisdom with modern experience. ### About Will Duncun  Will Duncan is a Buddhist teacher whose work focuses on integrating traditional Buddhist practices with contemporary life. He has trained extensively in Tibetan Buddhism (Gelugpa lineage) as well as Zen (under Daido Roshi) and in a number of Theravadin lineages (Goenka, Mahasi, Insight). His approach blends these traditional teachings with insights from Christian and Yogic traditions, creating a unique and inclusive path. He has taught throughout the world including Asia, Europe, Eastern Europe, South America and throughout the United States. He has worked as a hospice chaplain and presently is a lecturer, meditation teacher, consultant, and lavender farmer. Will completed the traditional three year Great Retreat of Tibetan Buddhism, having spent four accumulative years in silent and solitary meditation retreat since he began his practice 40 years ago. Known for his non-dogmatic, down-to-earth, humor and ease, Will teaches by way of inquiry and lively discussion pushing students to think clearly for themselves and to uncover their own insights. ## Testimonials "Will is a dynamic and gifted teacher who has the power to transform lives. A truly original thinker Will brings a much needed grounded authenticity and humor to the spiritual path. **Matt Immergut PhD, Associate Professor S.U.N.Y. Purchase** Will Duncan is a Buddhist Badass. He delivers two things simultaneously: entertainment and the possibility of true aim-attainment. If you are looking to make and sustain an inner shift, GO hear him! **Darren Rhodes, Author, Director of YogaOasis, in Tucson, AZ and Founder of YogaHour**. Will Duncan takes on the goal of opening eyes and opening hearts in talks, discussions and teachings on Dharma. He has studied many traditional practices and uses each one to go deeper on the path of awakening. His charm, character and devotion are his tools and consciousness his field. In the end what he reveals is the exquisite beauty of human beings. **Lisa Schrempp, Authorized Level 2 Ashtanga Teacher, Founder of Ashtanga Yoga Tucson** “Will Duncan leaves such a deep impression on my university students. He taps into spiritual essentials in ways that resonate with them regardless of their religious background. At the end of every semester in which he has guest lectured the students course evaluations come back saying that the class he taught was their favorite! " **Karen Borek, PhD, Department of Religious Studies and Classics, University of Arizona** “Thus far, the ultimate highlight was listening to Will Duncan speak. His talk with us made me think of religion as a whole in a way that I had never considered before: that each religion is just trying to get you to wake up to a life filled with joy on a much deeper level than just immediate, sensory pleasing joy. I really enjoyed that it included an approach in consideration of all religions, not just Christianity or Buddhism or any other religion, as it seemed to put an equalizing twist on all religions, as opposed to making any one seem more focused on the aspect of awakening and enlightenment. For me personally, Will’s talk made me think about how I view my own personal spiritual journey as well as how I view the perspective of people who consider themselves to not be on any sort of spiritual journey.” **University of Arizona college student** A true master at mixing charitable laughter and gracious humility, Will Duncan makes the long road of awakening fun and accessible. His deep knowledge of wisdom teachings is matched by the compassion of his wit and candor. Learning with Will is a chance to polish one's suffering with good-hearted humor. **Jay Ruby, Director, The Carpetbag Brigade Physical Theater Company** “Saturday night after Buddhist teacher, Will Duncan’s, talk, I was awake for hours…He was amazing! As he imparts wisdom, Will already exudes that wonderful combination of mental discipline and humorous lightheartedness that I have come to associate with the very best Tibetan teachers.” **Cecily Stranahan – Pastoral Counselor** | |||

Met eenvoudige uitnodigingen neemt onze gids je stap voor stap mee het landschap in. Uit je hoofd, in je lijf, in het moment 🧘 Je vertrekt niet alleen ontspannen, maar vaak ook lichter, helderder en met een glimlach die nog even blijft hangen.

| The Heart of Winter | Fri, Dec 11, 7:00 PM UTC | Creative Youth Network, Kingswood, Bristol, UK | 3mxkam5v7ol22 | Curator | > **“Dance is the expression of body and heart. 5Rhythms® Heartbeat is an invitation to welcome every emotion, to breathe and move with them, so our heart’s truth and our movement become one dance”** In early life, most of us learned to suppress our emotions so we could fit in, belong, and conform in our family and society. Some emotions were acceptable, others were not. Chances are we have become too numb to parts of our own heart while also getting caught in loops of emotionality or emoting . . . walking around feeling anxious, resentful, depressed. Healthy emotions are raw energy that travels quickly through our system, providing information we can act on . . . fear wakes us up, anger has us set a boundary, sorrow requires us to let go, joy encourages us to celebrate and compassion witnesses it all in neutrality. In our exploration this winter weekend, we will open to the elemental emotional energies and allow them to move, groove, melt, sweat and rock through our system . . . clearing out old debris, quickening our spirits, raising our vibration and increasing our capacity for compassion and love. **This workshop counts as 2.5 days (15 hours) of Heartbeat for those on the 5Rhythms teacher training path** _Please note, if you need to cancel there’s a full refund (minus £30 admin fee) before 20th November 2026.No refunds are available after 20th November 2026._ | |||

You will learn how to channel universal life force energy through your attuned hands, read and work with your own energy field and psychic senses, and offer Reiki healing to yourself and loved ones. With an ancient lineage behind you and your intuitive gifts activated, you leave this day knowing exactly who you are as a healer. ### Who is this for? Empaths, old souls, and highly sensitive people who have always felt energy but never had a framework for it. Those who have been circling Reiki for months or years, knowing it’s meant for them. Anyone wanting to develop their psychic senses alongside a healing practice, as a foundation, not an add-on. Therapists, coaches, and wellness practitioners ready to add energy healing to their toolkit. No prior experience necessary, just an open heart and a willingness to receive. ### What’s included? Foundation (pre-course online theory module): what Reiki is and how it works, the three levels of the Usui Method, your permanent Reiki Level 1 attunement, the 21-day purification period, the Gokai (Five Reiki Principles), the history of Usui Reiki and your lineage, Gassho meditation and Reiji-Ho technique, the chakras and the eight main clair senses Healing practice (on the day): the 18-position full-body hand sequence, the 13-position self-treatment sequence, Byosen sensing, consent and working principles, aura cleansing and grounding, hands-on practice giving and receiving Reiki, and aftercare guidance. Intuitive gifts (woven throughout): Reiki as a doorway to psychic awakening, the 8 Clairs mapped to Reiki and soul purpose, chakras and soul purpose, Ikigai mapped to the practitioner’s path, and reflection/journal prompts. **Lifetime support:** - a full branded 40+ page student manual, a Reiki Level 1 certificate of completion, a 21-day post-attunement support guide, 20% off a future 1:1 session with Cindy, and lifetime access to The Digital Intuitive Kit: an exclusive 6-module self-study psychic development programme (meditation, grounding, opening your psychic self, meeting your Spirit Guide, sensing subtle energy). ### What makes this course different from other Reiki 1 courses? Most Reiki courses teach hand positions. This one teaches you to think like a healer. Psychic development is taught from day one, the 8 Clairs as foundational tools, not advanced extras. Cindy is a 20th-generation shamanic lineage holder, so this is a living transmission, not a weekend certification. The group is capped at a maximum of 10 students, a sacred container, not a production line. The course is fully accredited (Member of the Complementary Medical Association, internationally recognised certificate), and your learning doesn’t stop on the day, the online theory course remains accessible for life. ## About Cindy Cindy Théodore is a Reiki Master Teacher, Trance Medium, and 20th-generation shamanic lineage holder, trained at the Arthur Findlay College and the College of Psychic Studies. She is the founder of Reiki The People and has over 10 years of experience teaching empaths, old souls, and highly sensitive people to trust the gifts they’ve always carried.

| Caring Kink - Daytime Playtime | Sat, Dec 12, 12:30 PM UTC | Subud hall, Wesley Pl, Clifton, Bristol, UK | 3mxkam67bia22 | Curator | "Play is our brain's favourite way of learning." - Diane Ackerman “The highest form of research is essentially play.” – N. V. Scarfe “The opposite of play is not work. It’s depression.” – Brian Sutton-Smith “Maturity consists in having rediscovered the seriousness one had as a child at play.” – Friedrich Nietzsche “The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct.” – Carl Jung Play is at the heart of every human being, and we don't need to wait until the evening. We can play all day!" - Neil Morbey **YOU CAN COME SOLO, OR WITH A PARTNER, NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE OR PARTNER NECESSARY. WE AIM TO MAKE A SAFE, PLAYFUL SPACE FOR YOU TO EXPLORE** **Daytime playtime is a space for you to touch, play, relax and bring out your kinky parts (within boundaries), utilising the skills that you our community have acquired through the Caring Kink workshops. ** In the daytime playtime we will have a short 90 minute workshop at the start, leaving the remaining 4 hrs for free play. We will have capacity for 120 people. **ALL WELCOME. ** It's ok if you've never been to a kinky workshop or if you're a seasoned pro. The workshop will help us all get on the same page to bring in care, consent and connection into our play. Remember too that 'play' can look like ANYTHING, including cuddling, chatting, rambunctious dancing, slow sensual connection, dark BDSM exploration, shame play, tying and holding, giggling... there isn't a 'right' way to play, except that we ask you to bring in care, consent and connection into everything you do. We will have a big community of people who have been to the workshops before, but even if you haven't been before that's ok - we can all help each other to **play in a caring kink way.** **No Late Entry after 1pm** The space will be open from 12:30pm, the workshop will begin at 1pm, when we will close the doors to anyone , so DON'T BE LATE. **Boundaries of Play** This is a pants on play space (for now). No touching or revealing of genitals or anus. The reason is I want to encourage all types of sensual, creative, connecting and kinky play, but without rushing to genital based sex. Nothing wrong with sex, I love it. I just want to slow us down and be together for a little longer, so other parts of us get to be explored. I also am not ready to hold a space that has full sex as things become increasingly complex. **Clothing** Arrive in simple comfy clothing for the workshop. We will change after the workshop in the transition to free play. Feel free to wear anything that makes you feel sexy and happy. This is often an area we get a lot of questions. Rest assured you can come as you are. I suggest bringing a variety of clothing. This isn't a high fashion finest leather, latex and high heels style event - this is more about connection. BEST ADVICE: WEAR WHAT FEELS GOOD TO YOU **What else is there?** **Two play rooms: ** As you arrive you'll be in the hallway with stairs leading up and down. Please deposit your shoes here and then put bags in the Hall of Hedonism, on your left. - **Hall of Hedonism:** On the ground floor we will have music and equipment so you can dance and go wild. - **Velet underground** : Downstairs there will be lots of soft mattresses and a big table of toys so you can explore in a more sensual way. - **De-Stimulation room: ** upstairs for when things get a little much. **Play bus stops: ** Each room has some chairs which you can sit at if you are waiting to play with someone. This allows other people to come along and pick you up. **Shared food:** Please bring something to add to the food table, ideally with a label of ingredients to cater for all needs. **Space monitors: ** We will have a team of people taking shifts to monitor the space to help make it safer.

| KAP Kundalini Activation - Group Session | Sun, Nov 29, 2:00 PM UTC | Stroud Yoga Space & Shop, Nelson Street, Stroud, UK | 3mxkam6cdk722 | Curator | **WHAT IS KUNDALINI ACTIVATION?** Kundalini Activation is a direct transmission of Life Force energy through the Kundalini Channels, promoting profound personal transformation. During a session, participants lie on yoga mats while the facilitator channels energy on and off the body working on chakra and meridian points. Accompanied by a musical journey, this process can awakens the entire light body, helping individuals embody their spiritual essence and activate its capacity to be an entire field of conscious awareness. .jpg) This practice facilitates access to deeper brainwave states, enabling the brain and nervous system to rewire and integrate new levels of awareness. Participants may experience spontaneous movements (kriyas), emotional releases, energetic sensations, third-eye activations, unity states, and shifts in consciousness. However, the true value lies in the lasting transformation participants experience in their lives after the session. Kundalini Activation is a safe, natural process using a gentle flowing downward-flowing energy. It unfolds through the practice of surrender and readiness, meeting each individual where they are. **Why Do Kundalini Activation?** Kundalini Activation is a transformative practice that unlocks profound physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual benefits, it helps you access deeper states of awareness and live more fully aligned with your true self. Here are some key reasons to explore Kundalini Activation: - **Transformation:** Release suppressed energy and clear emotional blockages to create space for growth and healing. - **Heightened Awareness:** Expand your consciousness, access unity states, and deepen your understanding of yourself and the world. - **Energetic Alignment:** Activate and balance your chakra system, awakening your full light body for enhanced energy flow. - **Mental Clarity and Focus:** Rewire your brain and nervous system to reduce mental clutter and enhance clarity, creativity, and intuition. - **Emotional Breakthroughs:** Liberate trapped emotions, foster resilience, and cultivate a sense of inner peace. - **Spiritual Embodiment:** Strengthen your connection to your higher self and integrate spiritual awareness into daily life. - **Personal Growth:** Overcome limiting beliefs, align with your highest potential, and make empowered, confident decisions. - **Life Transformation:** Experience lasting improvements in relationships, career, health, and overall purpose by aligning with your true essence. - **Deepened Spiritual Connection:** Access an energy beyond the personal self, creating a space to transcend ego and connect with the divine.  **Kundalini Activation is more than a single session—it’s an ongoing journey toward authenticity, freedom, and awareness** Kundalini Activation offers holistic transformation across physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions. Participants frequently report heightened energy, mental clarity, emotional breakthroughs, and deeper connections with themselves and others. Other benefits include reduced stress, emotional balance, enhanced intuition, blissful states, and expanded consciousness. This process purifies, awakens, and aligns participants with their highest potential, fostering positive changes in health, relationships, work, and overall clarity in life. **Frequent Asked Questions ** **Do I need any experience to join a class?** No prior experience is necessary Kundalini activation classes are open to individuals from all backgrounds and walks of life, and there is no requirement to have any prior training in yoga, meditation, or energy work. What truly matters is approaching the class with an open mind and a belief in the existence of energy beyond one’s self. **Who shouldn’t do the Kundalini Activation process?** This transmission of Kundalini energy is not recommended for those prone to mania, delusion or psychosis. As this process will expand your capacity to feel, you will have to be able to handle the emotional process in between sessions. If this is too difficult to handle on your own, we recommend you not to continue with the sessions. **I am depressed/anxious, can I still attend a class?** Yes. Many participants report that Kundalini activation helped them with their anxiety/depression. Just be aware that if you’re on antidepressant medication, there’s a possibility that you could be less sensitive to the energy. **I am pregnant, can I still attend a class?** If you are pregnant and in your third trimester we recommend you to wait until after birth to continue with the transmissions. Before the third trimester (7-9 months) it is ok to attend as long as you are feeling well and can, without problems, participate in activities such as gym activities or yoga, for example. Always let your facilitator know that you are pregnant before a Kundalini activation session. **I have had a Kundalini Awakening, is this Kundalini transmission appropriate for me?** Experiencing a Kundalini Awakening can deeply alter one’s consciousness and energy dynamics. The intensity of these changes may be overwhelming leading the energy to retreat and become dormant once again. This Kundalini activation process can provide valuable support following an awakening, aiding in the upgrade of the body and energy pathways, teaching the system how to accommodate higher light frequencies and manage the increased energy flow with greater ease. %20(2).jpg) [**WWW.KUNDALINI-ACTIVATION.CO.UK**](https://kundalini-activation.co.uk/) **@** [**kap\_clara**](https://www.instagram.com/kap_clara_uk/)\_uk Clara has spent the last 15 years immersed in self-discovery and healing through spiritual practice, tantra, and embodiment.

Arrival: Doors open at 6:45pm - you can arrive any time up until 7:45pm Socialising and Pot-luck food (Please, bring something to share) starts around 7pm 7:45pm - Doors close and a short opening circle, to drop into our desires.

There will also be the option to stay over, either for platonic cuddle sleeping, or individual sleeping arrangements. **Nothing sexual, or you will be asked to leave.** Please, leave quietly so as not to disturb neighbours :D The event is sober, clothed, and non-sexual, non-dating or pickup. People of all genders are invited to snuggle with each other, whilst respecting each other's preferences and boundaries. Safety and comfort are the priority. Caring for consent is required at all times. _ **No touch is required if that is where you find yourself** , you can come for the company and voicing your ‘No’ is even more important than your ‘Yes’._ The film will be decided on by the group - either in the WhatsApp chat beforehand or whilst sharing potluck food just before the movie :) |  _Cuddle Movie Space_ |  _Lovely food_ | | Room for up to 14… | And potluck food | ### DE-E Event host, author/narrator, wellbeing, and finance coach.  DE-E is focused on helping people connect with themselves and each other by creating spaces where people feel safe to drop into their authentic selves. He believes that by creating spaces with various connection-based activities, in a held environment, it gives people the chance to explore and ask for their desires and to query their past stories and traumas to see what still serves and what it is time to ‘thank’ and let go of to embrace a new way of being. DE-E's aim is to both follow for himself, and facilitate for others, a journey of continuous learning, exploring boundaries, and pushing beyond them in a contained way to achieve emotional, physical, and relational growth. He follows interests in wellbeing, mental health, breathwork, cold-water exposure, cuddling, playing, play-fighting, sober activities and more - during the summer can often be found in various roles at festivals. His exploration into wellbeing, has led him to create a series of sleep enhancing audio books called Drift Into Understanding, to help drop into a deeper relaxed sleep faster, reset the body to homeostasis and reduce short term dopamine hunting tendencies. The books look at Lighthouses, Bridges, Financial Independence - [available now](https://amzn.to/4wz0tLV) Gut Microbiome - Available September 2026 Mycelium - Available November 2026 Intimate Communication - Available January 2027 DE-E also offers _financial wellbeing coaching_, based on the [Rebel Finance School principles](https://rebeldonegans.com/finance/rfs/course-notes/). DE-E has hosted cuddle movies in Bristol since 2023. ### Volunteering in Ukraine In November 2025 I went to Kyiv to support a few different organisations, one whom I worked with the most was Ant's Kitchen. They are a brilliant friendly bunch of people and I can highly recommend volunteering with them. They create rations for small front line units, providing a vital service with supplies to keep the soldiers going - these soldiers may not otherwise get such nutritious meals. If you are interested in supporting them - you can give them a one off donation, or set up a regular one here - [Support here](https://buymeacoffee.com/ants_kyiv) If you are able to help remotely with English teaching, this may be of interest to you - [LINK](https://www.volunteeringukraine.com/en/volunteer-opportunities/go-global-ngo) |  _Working on the kitchen production line, bagging up a dried meal_ |  _An example of dried rations - this is homemade trail mix_ | I am available to give talks around the experience, with money raised going to support their mission. #leadership, #teamwork, #resilience ... If you know of a school or organisation who may be interested, please, do put them in touch. Please, message for more details, or any questions. ### **Accessibility and Inclusion** The flat is on the third floor and there is no lift. Attendees will need to be able to climb/descend the stairs. All activities are an invitation: there is a culture of participating in ways that work for you, and participants are requested to be open to accommodating each other's needs. Neuro-spiciness is welcome - we are all wonderful and unique individuals. People of any ethnicity, cultural background, class, age, sex, gender, sexual orientation, relationship structure, body type, physical ability, neurodiversity etc. are welcome at DE-E's Spaces! ### **Tickets** Please, do cancel your ticket if you are not able to make it, so that DE-E knows who to expect and to free up a space for someone else as room is limited. | |||

| skein weekender | Fri, Nov 6, 5:30 PM UTC | Paddington Farm, Maiden Croft Lane, Wick, Glastonbury, UK | 3mxkam6vjkh22 | Curator | ### Ever wondered what might happen if you immerse in a shared alchemical cloud of story, for two full days? Find out by joining Poet-facilitators [Tom Hirons](http://www.tomhirons.com) and [Rozi Hilton](http://www.believethebird.com) on a Somerset Weekend - for **a residential laboratory of holographic collaboration. ** A deep-dive community-connection experience, in which you'll participate-in and contribute-to an emergent selection of revelations - into a field of juxtaposition. This is our most extended opportunity so far, to marinade in our '_ **Council of the Imagination** _', and stretch it into realms beyond workshop, as we play together with the duration, inspiration, and landscapes of sharing. Skein is a ceremonial circle of images and associations, collectively driven - which will venture into many mysterious territories over the course of a long weekend, as we drop deeply into a **semi-psychedelic crucible** ; like a shared dream... Expect to surrender, as synapses make deer-leaps and the crackling centre becomes something numinous… > “Half Quaker meeting, half dreamtime, and yet another half nonperformative performance. Entirely enchanting, beautiful and bizarre - like a waking sleep”. > > "Skein is a fractal, fragmented dreamscape of communal storytelling away from the posture and performance of Storytelling as we have come to know it in a modern age. Tom & Rozi open a democratic and non-hierarchical field for people to know themselves and each other in new and vibrant ways. Sensitively and delicately held, skein is a tender and beautiful technology for weaving an alive sense of what’s in the room, with all contributions equally valued and witnessed.. > > It was amazing to watch as people became more and more emboldened through the process. I experienced inter-realm travel and also an absolute time warp; two hours went by in twenty minutes. As it finished I longed to go on to discover new layers of those in the room as well as of the field itself." > > _“When can we do that again?! So much appreciation for the experience you created. The ripples have been powerful, subtle and transformative.. I feel stirred and moved, shaken but also stilled in some way. It was like a conversation of our hearts and imaginations, not a performance but a way to connect in how I want to be seen and bring myself more into this group, the me I know but I don't think others see. The result? .. I discovered something... We found our heart here.”_ #### #### WHO IS THIS FOR? You do not have to be a storyteller or have any experience of performing, and there is no need to have any material prepared. However, there will be an expectation to participate, which will involve some public-speaking - however fractured or imperfect it comes out! The venue does have a twisting staircase up to the group room. Sadly there is not another more accessible route to the upstairs workshop-space, so regrettably we would recommend a level of mobility which makes this possible. #### WHAT TO EXPECT? Skein is a practice that Tom and Rozi have been honing over the last few years - it involves a group of people responding to a seed image with a stream of resonant images or recollections. In practical terms, this means that the participants respond to prompts (perhaps story, perhaps poetry, perhaps dream fragments themselves) with short recollections or images, before yielding in turn to another offering. Through successive rounds of provocation, a field is generated. We'll be exploring skeins with different forms and themes, playing games that encourage us to enter into imaginative flow-states, and allowing the magic of skein to encounter one another in non-ordinary ways. If that still sounds baffling - [here's Tom](https://vimeo.com/feralangelspress/skein-what-is-it)doing his best to describe the experience. #### WHERE AND WHEN? [Paddington Farm](https://paddingtonfarm.co.uk/accommodation/the-farmhouse/) Farmhouse is based on a 43-acre organic farm at the foot of Glastonbury Tor - A larger project with aims to encourage engagement with organic food and farming, environmental awareness and responsibility, and a lifelong respect for the countryside. It's just 30minutes East of Bridgwater on the m5, or 1 hour South of Bristol - [https://maps.app.goo.gl/V8TCn6b2ZrctBRig9](https://maps.app.goo.gl/V8TCn6b2ZrctBRig9) - close to Glastonbury town, but public transport is rather involved, so do let us know if you'd need a lift share and we'll see what we can do!   #### WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? Both skilled space-holders, with years of experience - Rozi Hilton and Tom Hirons form [Feral Angels Events](https://preview.mailerlite.io/emails/webview/160405/190810524906161587); a venture designing and hosting workshops for writers interested in honesty, beauty, and edge; and **a haven for poets who don't recognise themselves among the 'literati' and the generally-accepted canon.** We write, seek-out, and encourage intrepid eloquence, truth-telling, and authentic expression; aiming to provoke duende, calibrate souls toward the Green-Pulse, and incite action for a world on fire. We like raw words, revelation, mythopoetic image, and none of the bravado or elitism that puts a veil over resonant-transmission.  #### DETAILS We have three base prices, for each participant to choose from. If you're not sure which category to select, then do take a look below - (If you find yourself sounding most like jar 4 ‘living in the ruins’ and still desperate to come then please [send us an email](mailto:rozi@believethebird.com)and we'll see what we can do to make it possible for you to attend). **Note: once you've selected a ticket price, you also need to select a sleeping option - at an extra cost, depending on your budget and willingness to share.** If you don't stay on site with us there are plenty of accommodations in the Glastonbury area, and you can simply join from morning to evening.  #### FOOD We will cater for ourselves as a group - with each person preparing food once; so we are asking each of you to bring the ingredients to prepare a dish which could constitute half a meal for a group of 15 _(eg your trademark pasta salad; granny's special chilli; fallback roasted vegetables etc…). _ We will pair-up the dishes and work together in the kitchen to manifest a magical menu, supplemented by breakfast, snacks, and basic kitchen staples. #### This is going to be a fun, quirky, magical, unreal, few days of connection and co-exploration. A cosy opportunity to hunker down and open-up; in a homely setting without a lot of luxury or glamour. We'll laugh a lot, and probably cry frequently, and form friendships by learning about each other - as well as touching into realms beyond our conventional reality. Do heed the call if you're someone feeling the tug… the circle assembles! | |||
| The Cuddle Lounge | Sun, Oct 18, 9:30 AM UTC | Chyan Cultural Centre, Penryn, UK | 3mxkam7dosa22 | Curator | The Cuddle Lounge is a guided, welcoming space to gather and share in **platonic intimacy** for the sake of **nourishment, rest, joy, and heartfelt connection**. We aim for this to be a safe enough space for people to bring whatever they may be holding and simply be themselves. Authenticity is welcomed and celebrated. We invite you to come and rest in the softness of intentional intimacy. In her book _Belonging: Remembering Ourselves Home_, Toko-pa Turner writes, > _“Longing is the dynamic element of belonging, which, if we're clever enough to follow, will bring us into reunion withe the life we're meant to be living.”_ One of the most ancient and primal human desires is the desire to belong. How do we share in the reciprocity of care and love in ways that speak to this innate yearning? How do we nurture the need for belonging in our communities? We believe that one way this can happen is by expanding relational and physical intimacy outside of our romantic partnerships and experiencing how this unfolding of closeness and deep connection can strengthen our sense of belonging, to ourselves, each other, and the earth. **This is a guided, trauma-informed space where everyone is invited to move at their own pace.** For some this may involve touch and physical holding, while others may be comfortable with the emotional and relational intimacy they experience. The invitation is to participate in exercises and practices that feel right for you, **with no pressure or expectation**. Witnessing can be a powerful way to learn about our desires and needs. If you’re new to these types of spaces, you are very welcome. #### **What does it look like?** The afternoon will begin with an **opening circle** where we can welcome one another, speak our agreements, and drop into the space together. Our time will include **gentle embodiment practices** , emphasising the intelligence of body as an important aspect of desire and intimacy. We’ll focus on **consent, boundaries, and communication** to establish a field of safety and care. The group will then be guided through **small group and paired connection practices**. Before our closing circle, we will have free time where you are invited to follow your own desires for platonic connection and intimacy, or rest/move/be with yourself. #### **What this is not:** - A space for sexual connection. Instead this is an opportunity to explore how we can meet one another in meaningful and intimate ways and lean into desire without it needing to turn sexual. - A space to process unresolved trauma around touch and intimacy. If this is something you are struggling with, please reach out and we can signpost you to the appropriate support. - A space to ignore people's boundaries. Consent is a central aspect of this event. #### **What to bring:** - Pillows are provided but you may want to bring some extra of your favourite squishy things, sheepskins, blankets, etc - Comfy clothes that you can move around in #### **Other details:** We will be in the Sky Barn at Chyan Cultural Centre TR10 9BT **You are welcome to arrive early from 10:15am so you have time to settle into the space before we open the circle promptly at 10:30am. To protect the integrity of the group, we will close the doors at 10:45am.** ### Feedback “Cuddle Lounge has been an encouraging support for me as I navigate tumultuous times and identity reshaping, including getting serious about what intimacy means to me, and how I want to move through the world now. I can't overstate the impact of Cuddle Lounge on my richer and more present interactions with daily life and the whole world around me, and there is no-one I wouldn't recommend this to.” – J “I come away from the Cuddle Lounge feeling completely at peace, nurtured and loved. Guy and Fiona create a powerful sanctuary- like space for warmth, compassion and kindness to guide this experience. I didn't know how much I would cherish this until I had experienced it!” – Eden “As someone completely new to this kind of experience, I arrived feeling a little nervous and unsure of what to expect, but Guy and Fiona immediately put me at ease. By the end of the workshop I felt deeply relaxed, grounded in my body, and connected to my heart. I left feeling more in touch with my own needs and boundaries while also feeling deeply connected to the other awesome humans in the group.” – Rosie ### Refunds We cannot issue refunds but you are welcome to give your spot to a friend (please let us know who) or transfer your spot to the next Cuddle Lounge. ### **Facilitators** Guy and Fiona are on a mission to change the ways we think and feel about intimacy, starting by getting curious about the conditioned relational scripts we find ourselves playing out. Having been on their own journey of expanding intimacy beyond their partnership in ways that challenge the norm, they believe that the more we allow our authentic truth to be deeply seen and felt by others, the more capacity we have in our hearts for love, and the greater our sense of belonging. Fiona is an artist, singer, and devotee of spirit. Find her on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/fionabpoole/?hl=en). Guy is a dream weaver and an intuitive type, with a love for depth psychology. **If you are curious about this event and have any questions at all, please email Fiona at ** [**fionabradleypoole@gmail.com**](mailto:fionabradleypoole@gmail.com) **.**  | |||
| Rewiring the Brain: Psychedelics, Neuroplasticity & the Windows of Change with Tommaso Barba | Wed, Oct 28, 7:00 PM UTC | – | 3mxkam7ogpl22 | Curator | # Rewiring the Brain: Psychedelics, Neuroplasticity & the Windows of Change with Tommaso Barba #### What if a single psychedelic experience could return your brain to the same malleable state it was in when you were a child and what could you do with that window? ### About For decades, the dominant view in neuroscience was that the adult brain is largely fixed — that the openness to change we experience in childhood eventually closes, and we become, to a significant degree, locked into our patterns. The emerging science of psychedelics is beginning to overturn that assumption. Research now suggests that psychedelics such as psilocybin may temporarily reopen what scientists call a "critical window" of neuroplasticity , a period when the brain becomes unusually malleable, forming new connections, softening rigid thought patterns, and becoming far more receptive to change. But the window doesn't work alone. What happens during and after it (the set, the setting, the integration) may matter as much as the molecule itself. Understanding this mechanism opens up profound questions about how we heal, how we change, and what it means to truly rewire the brain. This talk will also offer practical guidance on how to best prepare for and follow up after a psychedelic experience, with a particular focus on supporting your nervous system before, during, and after. Join us for an online talk with Tommaso Barba, PhD researcher at the Centre for Psychedelic Research at Imperial College London, as he unpacks the neuroscience behind this emerging model and what it means for the future of mental health treatment. The talk will be followed by a live audience Q&A. ### What we'll explore - What neuroplasticity is and why it matters for mental health and behaviour change - The neuroscience of "critical periods" and the evidence that psychedelics can reopen them in the adult brain - How psychedelics promote the growth of new neural connections and why this may drive lasting therapeutic change - Why timing matters: what the brain's heightened plasticity window means for preparation, integration, and the weeks after a psychedelic experience - Practical guidance on how to prepare for and follow up after a psychedelic experience, including how to support your nervous system before, during, and after - One session or two? What the latest research says about dose frequency and therapeutic outcomes - The broader implications for depression, addiction, trauma, and the future of psychedelic-assisted therapy - Open questions at the frontier: what we still don't know, and where the research is heading ⚠️ Please note: This is an educational event. No medical or clinical advice can be given during this session. Can't attend the live event? No problem - all ticket holders will get access to the recording within 48 hours of the event. ### Your Speaker  Tommaso Barba is a PhD candidate at the Centre for Psychedelic Research, Imperial College London, supervised by Dr. David Erritzoe and Prof. David Nutt. His research currently centers on the brain effects of short-acting psychedelics such as DMT and 5-MeO-DMT, conducting the first neuroimaging trials of these compounds in laboratory settings with Dr Chris Timmermann. Tommaso's interests include the impact of psychedelics and MDMA on couples' intimacy, advocating for their potential in improving couples' connection within therapeutic settings. He also focuses on the role of psychedelics in treating depression and enhancing well-being. Tommaso has co-authored over ten scientific papers, including five as the first author, in journals such as The Lancet EClinical Medicine and Nature Scientific Reports. This work has been widely recognised and covered by prominent media outlets, including Forbes USA, The Times, The Telegraph, Rolling Stone, and CNN. Additionally, Tommaso collaborates with universities and startups in Italy and the USA. ### Your Organiser  Ryan is the Online Events Coordinator for The Psychedelic Society and a life-long psychedelic enthusiast. He is completing his MSc in Psychedelics: Mind, Medicine & Culture at The University of Exeter where he specialised in the extra-pharmacological factors affecting psychedelic assisted therapy. Ryan also sits at the intersection of psychedelic research, education and therapy. He works as a Research Associate at Pneuma Science, Consultant at Psilonautica and Communications & Partnerships Associate at Beautiful Space.

| Boundaries As Medicine - 4 Week Deep Dive Course | Wed, Oct 14, 6:00 PM UTC | Totnes Natural Health Centre, The Plains, Totnes, UK | 3mxkam7tjzo22 | Curator | # Boundaries As Medicine ### A 4-week embodied journey into knowing, standing in, and living your truth ### with Joy Mittens _Each inauthentic "yes" builds a wall between you and True Intimacy._ * * * Somewhere along the way, most of us learned to override ourselves. To smile when we meant no. To say yes and feel our stomach drop. To stay quiet rather than risk someone else's disappointment. This course is about coming home from that. It's about carving out the space in the world that your soul needs to flower. **Boundaries As Medicine** is a 4-week container for learning somatically in your body how to know what's true for you moment to moment, how to stand in it without apology, and how to practise it in the mess and speed of real life. No more guessing. No more people-pleasing. No more crossing your own line because you're afraid of someone else's pain, even when it's someone you love. This puts the power back where it belongs - in you. You don't need everyone else to have done a workshop for your boundaries to hold. You just need to feel them, and know in your bones how important it is to stand up for them. <oembed url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RygS9vZRBxE&list=PL5xZhEyooCkSlyhzpOTU__9NYspczbrpk"></oembed> ### ## The Journey: **Step 1 — Knowing your own boundaries** Before you can hold a boundary, you have to be able to feel it. We slow everything down so you can start noticing, in real time, what's a yes, what's a no, and what's a "not sure yet." You'll learn to check in with your four centres: mind, heart, belly, and sex - and build real reference points for what authentic and inauthentic yeses and nos actually feel like in the body. **Step 2 — Standing up for them** Knowing isn't enough if you can't speak it. This is where we work with the discomfort of disappointing someone, the fear underneath people-pleasing, and what it actually takes to say a clean “no” and hold it, even when someone else's reaction gets loud, sad, or manipulative. We'll look at how to spot bullying, seduction, and guilt-tripping for what they are, and how to meet rejection - giving and receiving it - with compassion instead of collapse. **Step 3 — Practice** The impact of this course being over 4 weeks is that you can take these tools into your actual life - your family, your work, your relationships, your bed - and building the muscle through repetition, homework assignments, and the support of a group who's in it with you. * * * ## Guest Facilitator - Emily Martin .jpg) Emily will be joining us in week two to bring her expertise on Betty Martin's Wheel of Consent. More information coming soon. * * * ## What We'll Explore - Getting in touch with your body, and listening moment to moment to what it's telling you - Energetic boundaries: feeling the effect of someone entering your energetic field, long before there's any touch - The Wheel of Consent: the real difference between serving and taking, accepting and allowing - Getting in touch with your anger, safely and healthily - because this is where solid boundaries actually come from - Resisting manipulation: recognising the bully, the seducer, and the guilt-tripper, in others and in yourself - Where you struggle to notice your own edges, and where you struggle to hold them once you do _Boundaries aren't about keeping others out - they are the living membrane of the truth of who you are._ * * * ## The Container - **4 sessions, 4 consecutive Wednesdays** , 7–10pm - **14th, 21st, 28th October & 4th November** - **Totnes Natural Health Centre** - A guest facilitator trained in **Betty Martin's Wheel of Consent** joins us for one session - Homework between sessions to bring the practice into daily life - A **private online group** to share your experience and support each other through the month This is a small, intimate group by design - expect real practice, not a lecture. * * * ## This Is For You If... - You find it hard to say no, or to know what you even want - You override your own needs to keep the peace - You want stronger, clearer boundaries for intimacy, sacred sexuality, or Temple spaces - You're tired of consent culture that puts all the weight on _asking and checking_, and want to feel your own power instead - You're ready to meet your anger, your fear, and your yes in your body * * * _The space you create by saying "no" is where your soul expands into its fullest expression._ Let's move beyond performative consent and into embodied power. **Learn the tools to feel, speak, and honour your truth.** | |||

| Kundalini Activation PRISM™ | Return of the Light: The Rebirth | Sun, Dec 20, 3:30 PM UTC | Luv Yourself Space, Hoy Street, London, UK | 3mxkamaes4m22 | Curator | This is not another class. This is an experience of pure energy. You know that feeling when you snap at your kids and then feel terrible? When you lie in bed exhausted but cannot switch off? When you keep waiting for life to feel different but nothing seems to shift? When you want a new job, a better relationship, more clarity, more joy, but you cannot seem to get out of your own way? That is not a personality problem. That is stuck energy. I am Natalia, founder of Luv Yourself Space and creator of the PRISM™ Method, an internationally accredited approach to Kundalini Activation, Breathwork and Non-Duality recognised by IPHM, the International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine. My work weaves Kundalini Activation, breathwork, somatic healing and non-dual presence to awaken what already lives inside you. I trained directly with Venant Wong in KAP Level 2 and with Serena Olsen and Pi Villaraza in Innerdance, the roots of KAP itself. I am also a certified breathwork facilitator. But instead of repeating a method I chose the path of freedom. In my space every person does not step into a new cage. They step into their own power. This is not woo woo. This is science meeting energy. And it works. **What to expect:** Depending on the session, you will - experience conscious connected breathwork to shift your state fast - a safe natural activation of your Kundalini energy - release of emotional physical and energetic blocks - a shift from mind chatter into deep presence - heightened awareness and a sense of inner power - and integration that continues long after the session ends. You do not need any experience. You simply need to allow yourself to be present and let the energy move. **Why people come:** - To stop screaming at their kids and actually enjoy them. - To finally feel something shift in a relationship that has felt stuck for years. - To find the clarity to make the career change they have been avoiding. - To feel lighter in their own body. - To wake up and actually want to get out of bed. - To break free from the old version of themselves they have outgrown. Spaces are limited. Book now and let your energy rise.

| Breathwork Session | Return of the Light: The Rebirth | Sun, Dec 20, 1:00 PM UTC | Luv Yourself Space, Hoy Street, London, UK | 3mxkamafv7r22 | Curator | Your breath was the first thing you did when you arrived on this Earth. And it has been with you every single moment since. Yet most of us have forgotten how to actually use it. You know that feeling when your chest is permanently tight and you cannot remember the last time you took a proper deep breath? When anxiety wakes you up at 3am and your mind will not stop? When you are so burned out you cannot feel anything anymore, not joy, not excitement, not even rest? When you have tried therapy, journaling, meditation, and something still feels stuck? That is your nervous system asking for something different. Breathwork is one of the most direct and powerful ways to shift how you feel. Not because it is complicated. Because the breath responds immediately. One session can move what has been sitting in your body for months, sometimes years. I am Natalia, founder of Luv Yourself Space and creator of the PRISM™ Method, an internationally accredited approach to breathwork, Kundalini Activation and Non-Duality recognised by IPHM, the International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine. This is not woo woo. This is science meeting energy. During a session we move through conscious connected breathing with somatic awareness and nervous system attunement. No pushing, no forcing. Just a return to what has always been yours. Optional energy work may be introduced when the body calls for it, always with care and presence. **Why people come:** - To finally sleep properly after months of lying awake with a racing mind. - To release the grief, anger or sadness they have been carrying around for so long it started to feel normal. - To feel present with their children instead of just going through the motions. - To get off antidepressants with proper support and a natural alternative. - To stop the constant mental chatter and feel some peace. - To reconnect with their body after trauma, burnout or a season of just surviving. - To feel something again after feeling numb for too long. **What you may experience:** More clarity and presence. Deeper rest and renewed energy. Emotional release and softness. A nervous system that finally stops bracing. Heightened intuition and inner alignment. You do not need any experience. Breath is not something you need to learn. It is something you remember. Come as you are. Your breath will guide the rest. With luv, Natalia _PRISM™ Method is accredited by IPHM.

| Whole: a new moon ceremony of voice, sound and Kundalini Activation | Sun, Nov 8, 5:00 PM UTC | Luv Yourself Space, Hoy Street, London, UK | 3mxkamanzkh22 | Curator | November has a particular quality to it ⚫️ The clocks go back. The light disappears faster than you expect. Something in the body wants to slow down, go inward, release what the year has been carrying. That is not accident. That is ancient. Every tradition across every culture marked this time as a threshold. A moment between worlds. A chance to let what is finished finally finish, and to feel what wants to be born in the dark before winter arrives. 📆 On 8th November, under the new moon, we are holding a ceremony for exactly that. Whole: a new moon ceremony of voice, sound and Kundalini Activation ⚫️ The evening moves in three parts. 🌑 First your voice. Ruben leads a journey into frequency and vibration. Not singing. Not performance. Your natural voice, finding its own resonance, releasing what words cannot reach. This is one of the most unexpectedly powerful things a human being can do. 🌑 Then something that does not happen often. Kundalini Activation held by Natalia, flowing live with Rubén's music in real time 💫 Not a playlist. Not a recording. Live tribal instruments, live voice, live sound responding to what is happening in the room as the energy moves. The music and the activation breathing together as one living thing. 🌑 Ceremonial cacao opens the heart before we begin. Five hours. Two facilitators. One unbroken arc from your voice to your depths. You do not need any experience. You do not need to know anything about any of this. You just need to feel the pull and trust it. 🌑 Early bird r: £111 — use code WHOLE at checkout until 15 September After 15 September: £133 8th November · 5 to 10pm · Luv Yourself Space, East London _PRISM™ is the only Kundalini Activation method with independent scientific validation through EEG brain mapping and IPHM accreditation.

| Heartwood: The forged truth within your core | Sun, Oct 25, 5:00 PM UTC | – | 3mxkalu2uhx22 | Curator | ### There is a woman beneath the one you show the world. She is not your job title, your role, your reputation. She isn’t even what may best ‘please’ the world. She is the deeper centre beneath all of it, shaped and strengthened by everything you’ve lived. _We call this your heartwood._ A tree’s heartwood isn’t grown fresh each year. It forms slowly at the core as the tree grows. It holds the history of the tree, settled into its centre. Your heartwood forms through the seasons of your life. At your centre is your own unique soul essence, something that has always been there. Around it, life unfolds, each experience shaping, strengthening and refining you. Heartwood is an invitation to live from this place. To make decisions based on what you actually want, rather than what you think you should want. To say yes when you mean yes and no when you mean no. To recognise which roles, habits and expectations still belong to you, and which you’ve simply outgrown. **From this place, you can move through life with less force and more flow. More open, more present and more magnetic to the people, opportunities and experiences that are truly aligned with you.** ### This is Heartwood. An 8-week course to reconnect with the embodied wisdom, strength and truth that have been forming within you all along.  ## How will this benefit me? Heartwood is for you if you’re ready to understand what’s changing within you and begin living from a deeper sense of who you are. **You’ll recognise more of what no longer fits.** Identify the roles, habits, beliefs and expectations you’ve outgrown, and begin to let go of what no longer belongs in this season of your life. **You’ll turn experience into wisdom.** Explore what your life has taught you, including the difficult seasons, and uncover the strength, insight and resources you carry because of them. **You’ll make choices from a deeper place.** Get clearer on what you actually want and become more confident saying yes to what feels right and no to what doesn’t. **You’ll create more space for flow.** Release some of the force and striving, becoming more open to pleasure, connection, possibility and the people and opportunities that feel aligned. **You’ll not be alone doing this.** Be witnessed and supported by a small circle of women moving through their own seasons of change.  ## The Practicalities **Weekly 2-hour live session** Sundays, 5pm–7pm\*, our core space for exploring, sharing and doing the work together. **Weekly 30-minute practice** A pre-recorded embodiment, dance or storytelling practice to deepen the work and keep it moving between sessions. **A small, intimate group** Limited to 12 women, creating space for connection, trust and meaningful participation. **A WhatsApp group** For check-ins, reflection and staying connected between sessions. _\* If Sundays don’t work for you but you feel called to join, get in touch. We may be able to explore an alternative time depending on demand._ ## The Approach Heartwood draws on the wisdom of the natural world, mythology and storytelling, authentic relating, embodiment and somatic practice. The course is influenced by the work of Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Martha Beck, Deb Dana, Kasia Urbaniak, and True Nature founders Gaia Harvey-Jackson and Alana Bloom. We welcome all women, trans women and non-binary AFAB who feel the call to come home to themselves and to do so in the company of others rather than alone. Our belief is that coming home to ourselves is not just personal work. When we become more rooted in our own truth, needs and boundaries, we begin to change the systems and power structures that have taught us to abandon them. What starts within us ripples outward into our relationships, our communities and, ultimately, the world we create together. ## Who Heartwood may not be for **Heartwood may not be for you if you’re looking for a quick fix, a step-by-step formula or someone else to tell you what to do.** This is a space for exploration, reflection and discovering what feels true for you. **It may not be for you if you’re looking for a space focused solely on personal development without considering the wider world around us.** We’ll explore how our lives are shaped by the culture and systems we live within, and how personal transformation can become part of wider social change. **It may also not be for you if you’re looking for a space where everyone thinks the same way.** Heartwood is about honest exploration rather than agreement. You don’t need to arrive with the same beliefs, experiences or answers as everyone else, just a willingness to be curious, listen and participate. Heartwood isn’t about becoming a better version of yourself. It’s about becoming more fully **yourself**.  * * * # Your Facilitators  **Maya Bahoshy ** is an experiential facilitator, coach and educator, with over 15 years of experience in the non-profit, social impact and education sectors.

| Drop the Act | Sat, Oct 24, 8:00 AM UTC | Buckfastleigh, UK | 3mxkalu5pyb22 | Curator | ## Autumn One-Day Workshop: **DROP THE ACT** An immersive, experiential day exploring connection, self-expression and creativity - and what happens when we begin to loosen the roles and patterns that can get in the way of expressing who we really are. Drawing on my background as an actor, public-speaking coach, leadership facilitator and somatic therapist, we'll explore authentic expression through movement, voice, creativity and speaking from the heart. We'll work with assertiveness and confidence, creating space to use your voice without apology, over-performance or bravado. The workshop is called **DROP THE ACT** because we'll be exploring what makes us lose touch with our authentic expression, and experimenting with what becomes possible when we peel back some of those layers in a supportive and playful environment. The day is highly experiential. We'll use group exercises, movement, voice, poetry, text and play to explore confidence, connection and authentic expression. The workshop is open to anyone aged 21+, regardless of profession, background or level of experience. You don't need to be an actor, performer or public speaker. It may particularly resonate if: - You’re successful, capable or outwardly confident, but sometimes feel like you're performing your way through life. - You notice yourself adapting depending on who you're with. - You're highly attuned to other people, but sometimes struggle to know what _you_ actually want. - You find yourself playing a particular role — the good one, the capable one, the funny one, the strong one, the successful one, the easy-going one. - You're curious about what might be underneath those patterns. - You'd like to express yourself more freely, whether in relationships, work, leadership or your creative life. - You'd like to be more visible, but notice something in you holding back. - You want more spontaneity, creativity and play. - You're interested in exploring yourself through the body and experience, rather than simply talking about yourself. - You're willing to experiment, be witnessed and step a little outside your usual way of being. **This isn't therapy, but we will go deep.** Places are limited and a short application is required when booking. **Venue and arrival time** We'll be hanging out in the gorgeous Co-Working Devon, in Buckfastleigh. More information on how to find this venue will be shared upon booking. Please arrive 30-15mins early so we can start on time at 9.30am. Any significantly late arrivals may not be admitted due to the importance of setting group context before heading into the play. ### Cancellation Policy I understand that plans can change. If you need to cancel your place, please let me know as soon as possible. Cancellations made more than 30 days before the workshop will receive a full refund. Cancellations made between 14 and 30 days before the workshop will receive a 50% refund. Unfortunately, cancellations made less than 14 days before the workshop are non-refundable, unless I am able to fill your place. If I am able to do so, I will refund your payment in full. If you are unable to attend, you are welcome to transfer your place to someone else, provided you let me know in advance. If I need to cancel the workshop for any reason, you will receive a full refund. Thank you for understanding that, as places are limited, late cancellations can make it difficult to offer the place to someone else. **Hebe Dickins | ** Hebe’s background is in the theatre, as an actor. She now has a somatic therapy and coaching practice; co-facilitates creative leadership programmes, all over the world; and coaches business leaders to be authentic, confident presenters.

Holding Space with Jess : Sound Healing I am a sound healer and energy worker. My focus is to hold space for stillness and create a sound journey that grounds you and brings you back home to yourself. I will be taking you through a sound journey that will centre yourself back to your heart space and ground you back to earth.  **ABOUT THE SESSION:** Ecstatic Dance is based in the natural understanding that our bodies know how they need and want to move in order to heal, strengthen, release and be nourished. Our ancestors practised rhythmic dancing to drums and chanting for centuries. Ecstatic Dance is based in this ancient practice of tuning in to the free movement desired by your body to shake and awaken your being into higher states of awareness, to release stress and trauma and to reconnect with your inner truth, beauty and enjoyment of life. Most sessions include: **Opening Circle (Guidelines & Announcements)** **Guided Warm Up** **Unguided DJ set** **Relaxation / Live Sound Bath** **Closing circle (Thank You's & Upcoming Dance Info)** You are not required to participate throughout and you are able to sit or lie down to rest at any point.  **PRACTICAL INFO:** **Address** Brighthelm Centre, North Road **Parking** There is small free car park at the back of the building. You MUST enter your registration number at reception otherwise you will receive a £100 fine. **Refunds/Exchanges** Tickets are not refundable unless the organisers cancel the event. You may sell your ticket on. If online sales sell out there is usually a limited number of tickets available on the door. **What to Bring/Wear** Wear comfy clothes that you can move to and layers to keep warm/cool. We dance barefoot or in gripped socks. Bring some water or a refreshing drink.  **Community:** The Ecstatic Dance community welcomes people of all ages/genders/religions/ethnicities. This is a cross-generational community, so often you will see dancers between the ages of 18-80 enjoying the space together. Most dances allow children to attend, but we recommend checking with your local facilitator before bringing a child! We are a non-denominational community, where we come together for the joy of moving and dancing together. This means that some people come simply for the exercise, some come for the social connection, and some come to use the dance as a form of therapy, emotional catharsis, spiritual practice, or prayer. Whatever your reason for wanting to move, you are welcome at Ecstatic Dance. **Space** : Ecstatic Dance is a Freeform Conscious Dance. As soon as you enter the space, you are invited to let go of judgements and expectations, and allow yourself to feel you emotions, sensations, body, mind, and spirit. Because this is a safe space for movement and expression, we do request that you follow the three main guidelines: no shoes (and wear comfy clothes!), no booze (or any other drugs), no talking (body language only!). All freedom of expression is welcomed, and there is no ‘right and wrong’ here. Trust in the journey and move through everything that arises. **Music:** At most dances, the soundscape is provided by professional DJ’s who mix the music and facilitate the journey. Most sets will include a variety of musical genres, sonic wave of all tempos, a full spectrum of emotions. At some dances you will find the vibe to be more organic and tribal, and at others more electronic, futuristic, or urban. No set is ever the same! **Consent:** Many Dancers come to dance by themselves in the group. Some dancers also enjoy dancing with others, with or without physical contact. **The Practice** It is always a good idea to begin by dancing with yourself. Feel into how you are doing in this moment, and in your life in general. Set an intention for yourself & for the world at large at the beginning of the dance. If you would like to dance with someone else, please make sure they are able to give their consent to dance with you before touching them or entering their field. If you are not sure, or their eyes are closed, it is a No. Please respect any No, and try not to take it personally. How to say “No” nonverbally? Turn Away, Move Away, Hand(s) at Your Heart (prayer gesture) How to say “Yes” nonverbally? Turn Toward, Move Closer, Extend a Hand (open palm)  **Thank you for taking the time to read this information - see you on the D Floor!!!** | |||
| Surrender to the Season, An Autumn Journey of Yoga and Sound Bath | Sat, Oct 24, 5:30 PM UTC | The Angel Room at Bowden House Community, Green Lane, Totnes, TQ9 7PW | 3mxkaluhicp22 | Curator | **Surrender to the Season** _An Autumn Evening of Yoga, Sound & Release_ As the days grow shorter and nature begins to let go, we are invited to turn inward. Autumn reminds us that letting go is not an ending, but part of the rhythm of life. Through nourishing flowing yoga, breath and the immersive vibrations of a sound bath, we’ll honour the transition into autumn — embracing the invitation to slow down, turn inward and surrender to what is. We’ll explore the beauty of slowing down, letting go, and making space for what is quietly emerging. A chance to soften, surrender and release— just as the trees release their leaves. A gentle autumn ritual for the body, mind and soul. Surrender to the Season, Letting go, Fall into Stillness. | |||
| Sacred Connected Bodies - Somatic Art Workshop & Dialogue | Sat, Oct 17, 9:30 AM UTC | Wanstead Quaker Meeting House, Bush Road, London, UK | 3mxkalujldk22 | Curator | #### Join this creative one-day workshop, led by [Fran Willems](https://dandelion.events/u/franwillie), a somatic art & sound bowl practitioner and (energetic) massage therapist, and [Jessica Ball](https://dandelion.events/u/creating_meaning), a Bohm Dialogue specialist, creative facilitator and Reiki practitioner, exploring and deepening the sensory relationship to our individual body, earth body and cosmic body. Somatic art practice is a relational, transdisciplinary creative exploration rooted in BMC® principles (Body Mind Centering, Bonnie B), bringing us into a more aligned, flow state and creating a sense of calm and connection inhabiting our bodies. Combining this practice with Bohm Dialogue will allow for individual and collective meaning-making through intentional listening and group reflection. This workshop is for you if you need a break from fast-paced, high-pressure life and long for a soothing soft container to slow down and explore creativity, reflection, the body, whilst connecting in a compassionate inclusive community. No prior artistic experience is necessary to attend this workshop and all materials will be provided, though feel free to take your own materials/artist journal. Come curious and enjoy the journey! **What to expect** The workshop is grounded in an invitation to imaginatively and somatically connect to your fascia - the connective tissue that wraps and supports every part of our body. The somatic art practice gently and playfully explores touch, drawing, movement and free writing to allow for an embodied experience and deeper connection to the wonders of the body. We will then expand this curiosity and creativity into our felt connection and relationship with the earth body and cosmic body, before gathering in circle to reflect and share our experience and co-create meaning together. The day will finish with a relaxing guided integration, including meditation and sound. If you want to dive deeper into the workshop motivation and content, watch this short video from Fran: <oembed url="https://youtu.be/0vwTYkMVBt4"></oembed> If you have any questions about attending this workshop, including if the cost is a barrier to you attending, please get in touch. | |||

| OPENING TO EROS ♀ | Mon, Oct 26, 6:30 PM UTC | – | 3mxkalupvlc22 | Curator | # **OPENING TO EROS** # # **♀** **A journey of homecoming to the pulse of aliveness at the core of your being.** We live in a world dominated by a patriarchal value system, which has impacted our ideas, expectations and ways of existing. This has valued linear over cyclical. Destination over journey. And this has also applied to sexuality - as something to do, perform or hide. Rather than a way to be. **Eros, as an essence to exist as. A current.** **Cyclical. Pulsing. Ebb & flowing.** #### **You're invited to join a coven of 13 women to journey Opening to Eros.** We begin with the Taurus Full Moon, on Monday 26th October. And with Venus, representing Inanna, in the underworld. the descent of Inanna is a living myth representing a pathway of women's journeys. _How might we descend & rise again, rooted?_ **Connect to your primordial life force** **& reclaim your deep feminine wisdom.** Vulva as Altar, Eros as Guide. ### **What to expect;** - Sharing Circles - Embodiment Practice - Sensual Exploration - Self Pleasure Practices - Pleasure Anatomy - Nervous System Tending - Instinct Reclamation - Witnessing - Emotional Landscaping, Release & Integration - Eros Emergence - Connection - Response-ability: the power to respond - Home~Play & Rituals Whilst each week may include some of the above, we will be moving with the current of aliveness and **journeying with eros emergence.** The flow of our online circles will loosely be as follows: - Opening - Theme Exploration (verbal & sense-ual explorations) - Practice &/or Ritual - Journalling &/or Sharing - Closing With practices and rituals given to journey in your own space between live calls to support integration and depth of journey. You are also invited to book a 1-1 with Taila to go deeper into your personal experience of eros. _ **Taila will hold the space to serve what is needed, bringing her human-ness, experience and leadership whilst also inviting yours.** _ > “A powerful alchemical container to explore our inner landscapes, to witness and be witnessed, to purge and transmute. A safe and held space to do some deeply transformational work if you wish to go there, or simply to come into awareness of what is lurking in the subconscious. Also just a fantastic group of women & womb folk…” ~ Participant, Voice of the Womb ## **♀** ## Intention for Opening to Eros Moving beyond patriarchal heteronormative paradigms of sexuality. We have been taught to look to the male gaze for approval, acceptance and validation of our sexuality, attractiveness and expression. Women who step out the box have been publicly shamed and humiliated. Together **we feel and taste the unique essence of our eros from the inside out.** A space to weave with a web of women who are willing to strip back to their es~sense~ual nature. For you to have held space to **unravel the conditioning, stories and numbness associated with sexuality & eros** in a space of loving witness, growing compassionate celebration of all that you are and allowing the current of aliveness to anchor you home. From here, we remember our power and capacity to create as cyclical reciprocal beings. a space to allow emotions to drop to feelings to drop to sensations. in order to experience the true essence of **Our Humanity** in an unfolding dance of energy in motion. Supported by a framework that allows us to move informed by container, body and the group field woven with the current. Each woman's truth and essence will weave a tapestry to be **honoured, witnessed, expressed** , and from here, you will access your inner wisdom, knowing, Gnosis to stand in your erotic power and create a more beautiful world. #### Together, we remember, #### Together, we reclaim; #### our unique relationship to Eros. ## **Who is this for? ** women and afab loves comfortable with being in a space that may centre - the womb, - b🩸eeding, - p🐱ssy anatomy - female experience//conditioning the space is not intended as therapy, and whilst it may feel therapeutic, if you are currently in a space of active trauma we would encourage you to seek 1-1 therapeutic support so that you can be held more deeply where you are right now. You're so welcome to reach out to Taila to have a chat about what options there may be for you. ## **Gathering in Temple ** Re-membering the sacred and ancient red-thread lineage & practice of circling, each gathering serves to deepen trust as another step along the journey through many cycles & spirals. Developing intimacy with the Temple herself and those who come to gather every week. You have a seat that only you can occupy, and it is there for whenever you are ready. _ **the connection between women has been severed by thousands of years of oppression and patriarchal domination, and at times it can be challenging to gather with other females. we invite you to journey as deep as you feel comfortable, walk with honesty, authenticity and the courage to share your experience of beauty, triggers & challenges as part of individual;+collective whole-ing & healing. At all times you are encouraged to journey Opening to Eros at the pace, depth & flavour of your own body wisdom & inner knowing ❤️** _ ## The Container; The container is here as a framework and guide, throughout this creation process as well as in the journey ahead, we will remain open to ~ & humbled by ~ the ever unfolding mystery, the current of eros. Listening, shifting and responding. **Dates; (all calls at 7pm GMT, for approximately 2.5 hours)** - **26th October: ROOT** - **2nd November: ROOT II** - **9th November: ROOT III** - **16th November: No Circle. Integration Week & Deeper Home Ritual** - **23rd November: HEART** - **30th November: VULVA** - **7th December: MUSE** - **14th December: POWER** - **21st December: RECLAMATION & REMEMBRANCE** ### ROOT We begin Opening to Eros by tending to our roots. Roots represent a sense of belonging, home and containment. Belonging to self, others, the earth & the mystery. You will cultivate an awareness of your nervous system, so you may descend into the body and present moment. _ **What are your values, boundaries, intentions?** _ As we Open to Eros we set the container by **resting into lineages that honour female cyclical wisdom & power. ** You may be the first in your recent lineage to have the opportunity to choose new stories, new maps. The female body has long been regarded as the root of all sin. The erotic either hypersexualised or outright rejected, embodied in the madonna / whore split. Together we sew the seeds for sense-uality, sexuality & relationship with eros to be **rooted in truth, love & liberation. ** For your erotic essence to be uniquely yours before anyone else. Aligning with Venus~Inanna’s star point, a new phase & new script is taking root. _ **What personal and cultural stories relating to your erotic essence are you carrying? ** _ > **Update for Opening to Eros 2.0: ** > Through this autumn~winter transition we will slow right down & root deeper with ROOT II & ROOT III > so that you can nourish the foundations of your own SEAD ~ Somatic Eros Alchemy Devotional. > > more to come on this… > ### _Integration Week_ No live circle, you will have a deeper home SEAD ritual and may like to join us at [Wild & Holy; The Wellspring](https://dandelion.events/e/wildholywellspring) in this time (You receive £55 off if you join both, just ask me for the code) ### ### **HEART** It can be tender when we reconnect, or perhaps connect for the first time outside of conditioned responses, to our erotic power. **We enter here through the heart. The breasts.** Women often feel like they are failing when measured against the dominator paradigm. Suppressing emotionality and cyclical shifts to pretend to perform as a consistent linear robot (male). Labeled things like; ‘Too emotional, not horny enough.’ or ‘too sexual/powerful, not loving enough’. Our theme and practices will support coming into contact with the raw beauty of your heart; **un-shaming emotions, taking the armour off.** Experiencing how rage, grief and ‘heavier’ emotions and sensations as vital expressions for eros. **Cultivating range** in your expression. Disrupting the stories entrenched within. With tenderness & courage, **meeting that which lives within your heart and breasts**. So that you may notice & acknowledge your true nature. Shifting from performative sexuality into true erotic innocence. _ **What does your heart desire?** _ ### VULVA **What do you call her? ** Naming of female pleasure anatomy has predominantly come through male discourse and male scientists. Female sexual anatomy (and health in general) is largely still misunderstood, by men, the system and also by ourselves. We were not educated well, and sources are still rubbish and heavily influenced by patriarchy. _Can you believe the clitoris in her fullness was only properly documented by Helen O'Connell in 2005! _ By naming your body and understanding your anatomy you gain autonomy. Your vulva ~ pussy ~ yoni is a gateway from the external to the internal; a bridge between worlds. Much can be stored here and in the wider landscape of your pelvic bowl. With a **vulva mapping ritual** , you'll get to know your body's landscape, honour her stories and begin to **trace new pathways through her peaks and valleys**. _“My vulva, the horn,_ _The boat of heaven, _ _Is full of eagerness like the young moon…_ _Man of my heart, plow my vulva” _ _ ⁃ Inanna to her husband Dumuzi _ The Descent of Inanna is from a time before patriarchal dominator culture; **Inanna openly and freely delights in her own sexuality, body, vulva and her sensate aliveness ~ you get to experience that too.** _At the altar of vulva you pray,_ _what does She have to say?_ ### MUSE We return together, having crossed through the threshold of Vulva, to meet the Muse; each woman animated by Eros, by the deep feminine current, expressing her essence as a way to stand in her power and create a more beautiful world beyond domination and oppression. so you may have the relationship to sexuality, eros & creativity that you desire. Much of eros lives in the mystery, in **the emergent current of aliveness** ~ a river seeking to flow through well tended banks. A pulse that is already there, not something you must acquire. Only that you must un-become who you thought you ‘should’ be, in order to **express as who you truly are.** To tend those banks you will journey practices that support shedding shame, honouring numbness and living rooted in your erotic power. Allowing your essence to express through presence, awareness, sound, breath, movement & touch. We will be witnessed by, and witness the muse of, each woman in our coven. So you may taste your essence and live as the expression of this current of aliveness; cyclical, wise, true. _ **When you reclaim what was stolen, repressed & denied, ** _ _ **how does your erotic innocence express?** _ ### **POWER** Eros awakens a relational power within and between us. A current that has the capacity to support a shift from ‘power over’ dominator dynamics to ‘power with’. Power with allows for collaboration, a recognition that we are stronger together on an embodied level. **An ecology of empowerment.** When one woman rises, we all rise. You will root into your inner compass to allow eros to support your expression in the world. With exploration through embodied practice of what holds you back from claiming your power, you allow the intelligence of eros to support you to experience the truth of your expression. Cultivating a new relationship with power, boundaries & desires. > “We have been raised to fear the yes within ourselves, our deepest cravings. For the demands of our released expectations lead us inevitably into actions which will help bring our lives into accordance with our needs, our knowledge, our desires. And the fear of our deepest cravings keeps them suspect, keeps us docile and loyal and obedient, and leads us to settle for or accept many facets of our oppression as women.” > > ― Audre Lorde, Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power Entering into the living entity of right relationship, where agreements and boundaries are living instruments rather than fixed destinations. Adjusting when edges are met. Shifting, adapting, according to personal truth within relationality. _ **What would you be a stand for if you didn’t hide away from expressing? ** _ _ **If you weren’t scared of judgement or rejection? ** _ _ **What would it feel like to be welcomed in your power? ** _ ### RECLAMATION & REMEMBRANCE A remembrance of how to be guided home by our own pleasure and body. As you reclaim your innate erotic intelligence and power, you will tend to your capacity to ask for what you need, value yourself and become resourced. No longer people pleasing or non-consensually shape shifting, you recognise just how deeply needed your essence rooted in erotic truth is. **You become your own permission slip. ** Reclaiming your wholeness, with all that makes you uniquely you. In our closing ceremony we celebrate & integrate your journey through Opening to Eros. **Together we are weaving a new narrative that honours our body, our eros, the earth ~ and the relationships between us all. ** _ **In what ways can you be resourced to walk forward rooted in eros?** _ _ **What would support look like for you? ** _ _ **What are the practices, rituals and tools you wish to lean into?** _ _ ** ** _ ### with integration resources & rituals, ### plus an optional 1-1 with Taila Rose to go deeper. ## **♀** The Lineage of Venus **♀** We bring awareness to the Venus cycle in order to rest into a wider cosmology, a 251(ish) year cycle. A cycle within a cycle, approximately every 8 years making a near perfect 5 pointed star, the spiral dance of creation. And within these longer cycles, Venus also experiences a 19 month cycles. These cycles within cycles are like the spiral journey we walk in life, a reminder of the small cycle and the eagles eye view cycles. Additionally, Venus is a planet that is observable with the human eye. Imagine how many thousands of years our wise and well ancestors have observed these cycles. It is evidenced in the writings of the Inanna Myth on tablet, the oldest writing on tablet found, by a woman named Enheduanna. There is mythological similarity with Venus and Inanna, markers in the observable Venus cycle that correlate with the 7 gates passaged by Inanna. _ **this myth embodies the initiatory journey of woman. how we may choose descent in order to allow ourselves to die unto a more true essence.** _ A mythological underpinning illustrating our power to choose initiation, to cross a threshold. The Descent of Inanna is one of the oldest 'myths' - suppressed by the myth (that then became religion) of Adam & Eve. Reducing women's erotic power to something sinful in the collective psyche of dominant western culture for thousands of years. **It is time for ancient yet new living myths, woven with our own unique listening to the current of eros** , as She ~ the deep feminine current ~ whispers words that weave new stories through the vessels of our bodies, supported by the wisdom of our well and wise ancestors. In the venus-inanna cycle we are completing our ascent and preparing to go retrograde: to the underworld? The void? Questioning our relational values, our intimacy with life. In this deepening, we remember. Reclaiming feminine mysteries and erotic power. _My prayer is that Opening to Eros serves as a threshold for you. As a container for you to strip back, reclaim your erotic essence and stand in your power ~ however that may look and feel for you._ ## Connect & Explore If you desire a connection call to explore further please email Taila at [**rewilding.eros@gmail.com**](mailto:rewilding.eros@gmail.com) or whatsapp/telegram message: +447703103726 **Refunds Policy & Payment Plans** Payment plans must be paid in full by 27th November 2026.

| Reclaiming Voice | Sun, Nov 29, 3:00 PM UTC | CABILLA CORNWALL, Bodmin, UK | 3mxkalv3rku22 | Curator | ### A day to remember our voices and explore the power they hold. _Dreamed with singer_ [_Holly Anne Coles_](https://www.hollyannecoles.com/) _& conscious coach_ [_Anna Lempriere_](https://www.theconsciouscoach.net/) **What might it mean to reclaim our voice?** Our voices carry our stories, our questions, our boundaries & hope. They are one of the way we relate to one another & the wider world. Yet many of us have learned to quiet ourselves in order to fit in. To make ourselves smaller. To distrust our voices, outer and inner, including our intuition. Reclaiming Voice is an invitation to explore our voices through activation, conversations & shared experiences. To listen more closely to what wants to be spoken. **What if reconnecting with our voice was a way of reclaiming our agency, our expression and our power to participate in the world around us?** ### What to expect We will take time to arrive & land in the intentional space that is Cabilla Cornwall. Throughout our time together, we will explore two different doorways & enjoy the space in between - think herbal teas, light nourishment. A time to pause, to talk, to rest. **Through activation & sound** In this embodied exploration with **Holly** , we will explore the voice through sound, techniques and expression. Rather than thinking about the voice simply as something we use to speak, we will experience it as something that lives within the body. Through playful and nourishing practices, Holly will invite us to become curious about our own unique sound and the possibilities that open when we allow ourselves to be heard. A space to experiment, to listen & take up a little more space. _No singing experience is needed._ **Through storytelling & expression** Inspired by myth, the great feminine and the rising of new voices, **Anna** will introduce elements of her SpeakYOU method to explore storytelling, imagination and personal expression. We will play with the stories we carry and discover how a single moment from our lives can become something more expansive when we give it the freedom of myth. You will be held with kindness and invited to experiment, make mistakes and discover what happens when words become seeds. ### About Reclaiming Reclaiming is a growing series of gatherings exploring the relationships that shape our lives. Each gathering offers a different thread, inviting us to explore our relationship with ourselves, one another and the living world through practices, conversation and shared experience. **Attend one gathering or join us for the wider journey.** Reclaiming Voice is the second of three gatherings exploring [**Food**](https://dandelion.events/e/v5l5n) **, Voice &** [**Body**](https://dandelion.events/e/m1t45). | |||
| Reclaiming Food | Sun, Oct 25, 3:00 PM UTC | CABILLA CORNWALL, Bodmin, UK | 3mxkalv5q7y22 | Curator | ### A day to explore our relationship with food, nourishment and the world that sustains us. _ **Dreamed with chef** _ [_ **Kate Munro Boot** _](https://www.instagram.com/katemunroboot/) _ **& doctor ** _[_ **Rhiannon Day-Thompson** _](https://www.instagram.com/dr.rhiannon.dt/)  **What might it look like to reclaim our relationship with food?** Food is one of our most intimate relationships. It nourishes us, connects us to land and season, carries memories and traditions and brings us together around the table. Yet, in a society that so often favours convenience over relationship, addiction over health, we have become disconnected from where it comes from, who grows it and the wider systems that bring it to our tables. Reclaiming Food is an invitation to explore food as nourishment, as pleasure, as medicine. **What if our relationship with food is vital to remembering that we are part of something much bigger than ourselves?** ### What to expect We will take time to arrive & land in the intentional space that is Cabilla Cornwall. Beginning with an opening circle, we will invite a curiosity around our relationship to food before heading into the temperate rainforest for a mindful exploration. From there, we will come together for a screening of “The Economics of Eating” and a talk with Rhiannon Day-Thompson, _author, medical anthropologist & NHS GP_, exploring the ways our food environment shapes our relationship with nourishment. This will be followed by a Q&A. With Kate Munro Boot, _chef, coach & speaker_, we will turn to the food itself through tasting, play and preparation, reconnecting with the pleasure, energy and sensory richness of locally grown & sustainable produce. A kitchen workshop of sorts. There will be space to pause, reflect and gather what resonates before we finish around the table, sharing a delicious meal and conversation. **Expect curiosity, perspectives, sensory exploration and good food in good company.**  ### ### What might you take away? This gathering offers an opportunity to: - **A different way of approaching food.** Moving beyond what we eat to explore how we eat, how we feel and the attention we bring to each meal. - **More pleasure, less guilt.** An invitation to soften the rules and judgements around food, making more room for enjoyment, curiosity and gentleness with ourselves. - **A deeper connection with nature through food.** Discover the journey from soil, water and sunlight to the food on our plates, and reconnect with the land and people that nourish us. - **A better understanding of the food system we live in.** Explore ultra-processed foods, the microbiome and how our modern food environment can shape our relationship with nourishment. - **A renewed relationship with your senses.** Slow down, savour, taste and notice. Rediscover the richness of food beyond its nutritional value. - **Small inspirations for everyday life.** Whether it's cooking something from scratch, choosing local produce, growing a little food or simply giving a meal your full attention, discover small ways to bring more connection into how you eat. ### Why reclaim food? Because food is never just food. It is soil, water, sunlight, the hands that tend and harvest, the knowledge passed between generations and the relationships that sustain us. Reclaiming our relationship with food can be one small but meaningful way of reclaiming our relationship with the living world, and remembering that we are part of it. * * * ### About Reclaiming Reclaiming is a growing series of gatherings exploring the relationships that shape our lives. Each gathering offers a different thread, inviting us to explore our relationship with ourselves, one another and the living world through practices, conversation and shared experience. **Attend one gathering or join us for the wider journey.** Reclaiming Food is the first of three gatherings exploring **Food, Voice & Body**. | |||
| FREE ONLINE WEEKLY WORKSHOP - Journey Through the Chakras WEEK 7 | Sahasrara | Crown Chakra | Wed, Oct 14, 6:00 PM UTC | – | 3mxkalvebvq22 | Curator | # Free Online Chakra Workshop Series ### Explore the 7 Chakras Through Kundalini Yoga, Mantra, Breathwork & Meditation **Every Wednesday at 7pm | Online | Completely Free** Hello and blessings beautiful being, Thank you for finding your way here. I’ve recently returned from Rishikesh, India, where I spent a month at a yoga school at the foothills of the Himalayas completing my 200-hour Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training. It was an amazing experience and I came home with so much knowledge, inspiration and a whole new appreciation of the yogic traditions...there's SO much to learn. One thing I didn’t get as much of during the course, was the opportunity to practise teaching. So, I’ve decided to create these **free online weekly chakra workshops** as a way of sharing what I’ve learned, continuing to develop my teaching practice, and creating a space where we can explore these beautiful traditions together. ## What is the Chakra Workshop Series? Over **7 weeks** , we’ll explore the traditional chakra system, dedicating one Wednesday evening to each of the seven major chakras. Each week will focus on a different chakra and include a combination of: Kundalini Yoga practices Pranayama (breathwork) Mantra Mudras Meditation Visualisation Gentle movement and kriyas Teachings about the chakra and its traditional associations You don't need to be experienced in yoga or meditation, however a little knowledge about the chakra system would be beneficial - but not essential. You can join for one workshop or come along for the whole seven-weeks. ## The 7-Week Journey **Week 1 | Muladhara | Root Chakra** Grounding • Stability • Safety • Connection to Earth **Week 2 | Svadhisthana | Sacral Chakra** Creativity • Flow • Sensuality • Emotions **Week 3 | Manipura | Solar Plexus Chakra** Personal power • Confidence • Transformation • Fire **Week 4 | Anahata | Heart Chakra** Love • Compassion • Connection • Devotion **Week 5 | Vishuddha | Throat Chakra** Communication • Truth • Expression • Authenticity **Week 6 | Ajna | Third Eye Chakra** Intuition • Awareness • Inner vision • Perception **Week 7 | Sahasrara | Crown Chakra** Consciousness • Spiritual connection • Meditation • Unity ## The traditions I follow... The practices I share are inspired by **Kundalini Yoga and Hindu traditions** , including traditional approaches to mantra, meditation, pranayama, mudra and the chakra system. My intention isn't to tell you that your chakras are "blocked" or that a particular practice will magically fix your life. These are workshops designed to help you **learn, explore and experience** these ancient practices for yourself. ## I'm sure you're wondering about Kundalini? You may have noticed the words _Kundalini Yoga_ above and wondered whether you're about to accidentally awaken something on your own, in your home Don't worry. These workshops are not designed to induce a Kundalini awakening, and I am not a KAP (Kundalini Activation Process) practitioner. The practices I'm sharing come from the traditional Kundalini Yoga training I completed in Rishikesh. ## Who are these workshops for? Absolutely anyone over 18 who is curious about: - Chakras and the subtle energy body - Kundalini Yoga - Meditation - Mantra - Pranayama/Breathwork - Hindu and yogic traditions - Developing a personal spiritual practice - Taking a little time out of the week to reconnect with themselves **No previous yoga, meditation or chakra experience is necessary.** ## What you'll need A quiet, comfortable space where you won't be disturbed. A yoga mat or something comfortable to sit on, space to move. Please arrive with an empty stomach, as we'll be doing some breathwork and movement. ## A little note from me I'm at the beginning of my teaching journey, and these workshops are part of me putting into practice everything I've learned in Rishikesh. So while I will always prepare thoughtfully and teach to the best of my ability, I'm also here to learn. Your feedback is genuinely welcome and will help me grow as a teacher. My hope is that these Wednesday evenings become a moment of calm and peace in your week. **I'd love for you to join me. 🙏✨** ### Every Wednesday ### 7:00pm ### Online ### Free ### 7 weeks • 7 chakras • 7pm | |||
| Fire Sheep Chinese New Year Inner Child Healing Circle | Sat, Feb 6, 9:00 AM UTC | – | 3mxkalvjumw22 | Curator | Do you find yourself feeling insecure, unsafe or impacted by emotional neglect from your childhood? What if you could begin healing those fragmented parts of your inner child and realign with unconditional love? This is your invitation to receive deep energetic and emotional healing for the parts of you that were overlooked, abandoned, neglected or rejected. 🌀 In this sacred container, you’ll receive: ✨Inner Child Healing: Go on a journey to start dissolving and letting go of insecurities and anxiety around your inner child's needs and deficiencies that are keeping you stuck in the past through quantum timeline healing, light language, star magic and sound therapy in the Fire Sheep year. ✨Chinese New Year: Fire Sheep Forecast & Feng Shui: Receive personalised reading on your Zodiac animal for the year of the Fire Sheep and the energetics for 2027 in health, wealth, career, love and relationships. This will provide insight as to what to look out for and areas for improvement and raise your luck with simple and savvy tips to Feng Shui your home to leverage Fire Sheep chi to flourish and prosper in all areas of your life. ✨Guided Art Therapy: A channeling process to download imagery, codes and messages after the Inner Child Healing transmission to then use it for continual reprogramming of the subconscious and unconscious mind for the Fire Sheep year. ✨Sacred Sharing Circle: Feel safe and supported in a group dynamic as you share yourself to be seen, felt and witnessed as you declare your intentions for healing, mindful discussions about the theme of the month playing out in your life as well as to integrate after the transmission, followed by personalised card reading with next steps moving forward in 2027. ✨1 Month Access To Replay: Whether you attend live and want to write down notes or you're not able to attend live but would love to receive this transmission, you will receive a link to my Chinese New Year Inner Child Healing Circle until 6th March 2027.

Are you ready to reclaim yourself and move forward in the right direction? 💌Book your spot here: [https://www.lifeinconfidence.com/innerchildhealingcirclesalespage](https://www.lifeinconfidence.com/innerchildhealingcirclesalespage) **FAQ** **#1: Will this work for me?** Yes, if you allow yourself to be open and receptive to the experience. The resistance comes from being in the mind and the need to control the experience or outcome. If you're someone who's too heady, spend at least 20 minutes in nature with your feet on the ground and move your body to be in the here and now. You will notice you will be far more open to receiving this activation. You may feel tingles, sensations, goosebumps, movement in energy, see images or symbols or you may not feel anything at all. Alternatively, you can start listening to my Childhood Trauma Clearing audio once a day for 30 days or for an extensive clearing 90 days. If you feel called to listen to it longer or at any time, you're welcome to do so as this will keep dissolving the energetics of your childhood conditioning. If you feel you got something from this audio, please email your video or written testimonial to jessxgoh@lifeinconfidence.com. **#2: What is light language and how does it work?** It's the language of the soul. Everyone speaks it differently as we channel through these high vibrational codes and frequencies that are being transmuted from the stars to transmute stagnant energy and old frequencies that are no longer in alignment with your soul and to activate dormant parts of you that are needed to bring them into illumination for your highest good. **#3: Who is this not for?** This isn't for you if you constantly perceive yourself as a victim, always need to be in control all the time and struggle to trust the natural healing processes facilitated. You don't see yourself as an investment in your healing journey, looking for a quick fix or a way out of life and a skeptic of the spiritual arts as a pathway to move forward. **#4: Who is this for?** This is for you if you have tried some form of therapy, spiritual healing or self-development program and you still feel you need extra energetic support in dissolving subconscious or unconscious emotional blockages that are keeping you stuck in the past or stopping you from moving forward in any area of your life. **#5: What's your refund policy?** Tickets are non-refundable but can be transferred or sold to another person who would appreciate this experience. Contact jessxgoh@lifeinconfidence.com their name and contact details so I can prepare them for this event. ----------------------------------------------------------------- **About Your Facilitator** Jess X Goh helps burnt out, heart-centered professionals to overcome the impacts of childhood abuse. She facilitates this by releasing anger and grief to reduce their anxiety (drug-free).

Across four monthly sessions, **Exploration, Collaboration, Transformation and Individuation** , we gradually deepen our relationship with our own voice and with one another.

By now you've explored, listened, collaborated and expanded. This session offers space to trust your own creative instincts more fully: to step forward when you feel called, while remaining deeply connected to the group. **This isn't about becoming a soloist. It's about discovering what feels uniquely alive, joyful and authentic in your own voice, and allowing that voice to contribute to the listening field.** ### **What to expect** We'll explore: - Trusting your own creative impulses - Sharing your voice with greater ease and confidence - Finding joy in your unique way of sounding - Moving between solo expression and collective music-making - Celebrating the diversity of voices within the group The session includes: - Vocal improvisation games - Voice and Movement Journey - Supported individual expression - Collaborative vocal improvisation - Loop station exploration - Closing community vocal celebration - Reflection and integration ### This event is part of a four-part series: - [**Exploration:**](https://dandelion.events/e/a2pa4/) ** ** 25th Oct Sunday 3PM-5:30 PM - [**Collaboration: **](https://dandelion.events/e/x05na/ )22nd Nov Sunday 3PM-5:30 PM - [**Transformation:**]( https://dandelion.events/e/n6stq/) 13th Dec Sunday 3PM-5:30 PM - [**Individuation:**](https://dandelion.events/e/s69hk/) 17th Jan Sunday 3PM-5:30 PM ### Venue Our venue for this journey will be Music Tree in Islington, London - a holistic music centre filled with natural light, just an 11-minute walk from Highbury and Islington Underground and Overground station. **Address:** 51 Barnsbury St, London, N1 1TP **Accessibility:** The main venue is at street level.

Across four monthly sessions, **Exploration, Collaboration, Transformation and Individuation** , we gradually deepen our relationship with our own voice and with one another. Each workshop explores a different stage of the journey and can be attended on its own, but together they create a rich progression, allowing both the group and each individual to grow over time. Whether you join us for a single session or the whole journey, you will be warmly welcomed exactly where you are.Your guide throughout the series is Uran Apak, an Istanbul-born, London-based artist, voice facilitator and co-founder of the UK Vocal Improv Festival. **No previous singing or improvisation experience is needed.** **Transformation** **When we feel safe enough to be heard, something begins to change.** This session invites you to explore the many colours of your voice and gently expand beyond familiar habits. Through listening, vocal technique, improvisation and creative shapeshifting, we'll discover new possibilities for expression while remaining grounded in presence and connection. **Transformation doesn't come from becoming someone else, it comes from allowing more of yourself to emerge.** ### **What to expect** We'll explore: - Expanding your vocal range of expression - Releasing habits that no longer serve your creativity - Discovering new textures, dynamics and qualities in your voice - Finding freedom through exploration rather than perfection The session includes: - Deep listening practices - Vocal weaving - Collaborative vocal improvisation - Voice and Movement Journey - Experiencing different vocal qualities - Loop Station Jam This event is part of a four-part series: - [**Exploration:**](https://dandelion.events/e/a2pa4/) ** ** 25th Oct Sunday 3PM-5:30 PM - [**Collaboration: **](https://dandelion.events/e/x05na/ )22nd Nov Sunday 3PM-5:30 PM - [**Transformation:**]( https://dandelion.events/e/n6stq/) 13th Dec Sunday 3PM-5:30 PM - [**Individuation:**](https://dandelion.events/e/s69hk/) 17th Jan Sunday 3PM-5:30 PM ### Venue Our venue for this journey will be Music Tree in Islington, London - a holistic music centre filled with natural light, just an 11-minute walk from Highbury and Islington Underground and Overground station. **Address:** 51 Barnsbury St, London, N1 1TP **Accessibility:** The main venue is at street level.

| Soul Constellations Retreat | Thu, Feb 11, 3:00 PM UTC | Shallowford House Christian Retreat & Conference Centre, Shallowford, Stone, UK | 3mxkalvspmo22 | Curator | **A four-day residential Systemic Family Constellations retreat** **11–14 February 2027** ** Shallowford House, Staffordshire** #### The stories inside us. The systems around us. And what becomes possible when we begin to untangle the two. We live our lives in the present, but we do not arrive here alone. We belong to families, relationships and histories that began before us. Within them are experiences of love and loss, belonging and exclusion, strength and survival - and sometimes patterns we find ourselves repeating without fully understanding why. Soul Constellations is a four-day residential retreat exploring these often unseen dynamics through Systemic Family Constellations, alongside meditation, embodiment, movement, music, group exercises and community. This will be our third retreat together and an opportunity to step away from everyday life, slow down and explore ourselves more deeply in the beautiful surroundings of Shallowford House. Our past retreats have been incredibly powerful, transformative and life-changing for many. ### What are Family Constellations? Systemic Family Constellations is an experiential therapeutic practice that explores hidden dynamics, unconscious loyalties and intergenerational patterns within families and other relational systems. Through embodied group work, we begin to encounter an issue from somewhere other than the position from which we have always known it. The intention isn't to blame our families or erase our history, but to understand our relationship with it more deeply — honouring what came before while creating greater freedom in how we move forward. Some participants will bring their own issue to constellate, while others will participate as representatives. Both can offer powerful opportunities for recognition, insight and movement. ### Across the four days we'll experience: 🌿 Systemic Family Constellation work led by Imani 🥘Delicious fresh cooked meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner by Arvin from Amrutha 🎶 An intimate live set with singer-songwriter Aliya 🧘 Varied guided meditation and embodiment practices ☯️ Qigong and yoga ✨ Group exercises designed to deepen connection, trust and safety within the group 🫂 Daily time within your smaller sharing pod for reflection and support 🎵 A deeply restorative sound bath 🙏 Optional one-to-one healing sessions 🎨 An art integration workshop on our final day 🤎 A cacao ceremony 🔥 A final-night celebration where everyone is invited to share their gifts, creativity and expression 🕯️ A closing ceremony to honour everything we've experienced together There will also be plenty of space between sessions to rest, walk in nature, connect with others or simply be quiet. ### The Setting Our home for the retreat is Shallowford House, a beautiful nineteenth-century retreat house surrounded by nine acres of secluded gardens, woodland and meadow in the Staffordshire countryside. Being residential is an important part of the experience. Rather than returning immediately to the pace of everyday life after deep inner work, we have four days to live, eat, practise, reflect and connect together — allowing the experience time to settle and integrate. **Accommodation and all meals are included throughout the retreat.** ## Retreat Prices & Accommodation Shared same-sex twin rooms are included within your retreat ticket. If you would prefer your own space, a limited number of private double rooms are available for an additional **£200**. ### Retreat Prices 🌱 Early Bird — £600 (Sold out) ✨ General Release — £700 (Half gone) 🔥 Final Release — £800 🛏️ Add-On: Private Double Room - £200 You can spread the cost of your retreat over 3 months with Klarna at checkout. If you would benefit from a longer payment plan, please reach out to us, and we'll be happy to discuss the options available. **ACCESSIBILITY** We also want Soul Constellations to be accessible to those who genuinely feel called to join us ❤️ We've set aside a small number of reduced-price places for people on a low income. If this applies to you, please email us to enquire. **At the heart of Soul Constellations is an invitation:** To understand what has shaped us. To honour what came before. To deepen our connection with ourselves and each other. And to create greater freedom in what comes next. ### Meet The Facilitators #### Imani (Lead Facilitator) Imani is a Systemic Family Constellations Practitioner, writer and speaker whose work centres around relationships, rupture, belonging and identity. She trained internationally through the International Family Constellation Training Institute and has studied across multiple systemic lineages with an international faculty of more than 35 teachers. Her work explores the meeting place between story and system. How our personal experiences interact with the families, relationships and histories around us, and what becomes possible when we begin to untangle the two. #### About Jay (Co-facilitator) Jay is a qualified Jungian Depth Coach whose work sits at the intersection of Jungian psychology, Eastern spirituality and embodied practice. His focus is on bridging the gap between understanding ourselves and actually changing how we live. Through one-to-one coaching, men's circles and group work, Jay helps people explore the unconscious patterns that keep them stuck, meet the parts of themselves they've learned to hide or reject, and find the courage to live differently. His approach combines compassion with honest challenge, bringing the unconscious into awareness and awareness into action. At the heart of his work is a commitment to helping people develop greater self-trust, authentic connection and a deeper sense of aliveness. #### About Alex (Co-facilitator) Alex is a meditation teacher of 8 years and the founder of Soul Revolution Festival. He offers a variety of meditations to calm the nervous system, create a deeper relationship with the body, open the heart, and relax the mind. Alex has supported Imani with her work on various retreats as well as the rest of the team, who all have a tight bond of trust and respect. This is vitally important to holding the container.  | |||
| Concert: Claire Vine + Suzi MacGregor | Wed, Oct 28, 7:30 PM UTC | St Bartholomew's, Lostwithiel, Church Lane, Lostwithiel, UK | 3mxkalvyo5a22 | Curator | **WORKSHOP ** **6pm-7pm (see below, optional)** **CONCERT** **7pm - doors open** **7.30pm - music starts** We're back after a break over the summer with another night of exceptional music in St Bartholomew's Church, as we welcome Claire Vine and Suzi MacGregor… ** ** **CLAIRE VINE** is a folk singer and songwriter based in Machynlleth, Cymru. Her solo project fearlessly explores urgent themes of land rights, oppression, climate change and inequality, in timeless songs that sound like they've always existed. Using subtle electronics to layer her voice into a haunting choir, she creates a space for her listeners to collectively feel the grief expressed in her music, offering a moment of shared catharsis. She is also a skilled song-interpreter, delivering classics from the traditional/folk revival canon with a new and profound humanity. Claire Vine released her debut solo album We Carve Our Path on 13 March 2026 on Bristol-based community label Cuculi Records, who also released her debut EP _Tunnel_ in 2020. With a thread of unequivocal political urgency running throughout, this evocative collection features five original songs and five highly inventive interpretations of songs drawn from the traditional canon and the repertoire of folk legends Peggy Seeger and Ewan MacColl. She has also recently been granted the DYCP grant from Arts Council England, supporting her to develop her singing and songwriting craft alongside working on a series of collaborative song-writing workshops relating to climate justice and climate grief. <oembed url="https://youtu.be/hPINZPFQlBM?si=stlYCA_podU1poj0"></oembed> **SUZI MACGREGOR** is a Bristol-based vocalist & multi-instrumentalist with a knack for classic songcraft, imbuing her warm, soulful music with a sense of timelessness. She blends the ambitious folk melodies of Laurel Canyon with a more modern pop sensibility, spaciously delivered with gospel-infused grooves. MacGregor's forthcoming debut album _Peregrina_ (out 27 Nov 2026 on **Cuculi Records** ) is a compelling 11-track collection featuring an array of musicians from her newfound Bristol community, produced by Richard Lobb. The album moves smartly through a spectrum of musical moods, yet maintains a coherent continuity anchored by MacGregor's magnetic voice. Written over several years, Peregrina feels like a retrospective on her turbulent twenties, full of travel, change and heartbreak - but, beneath it all, a poignant story of recovery and reclamation. <oembed url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0k5q03fmaJk"></oembed> **WORKSHOP INFORMATION ** **6pm - 7pm in St. Bartholomew's Church** _Join contemporary folk song writer Claire Vine for a collaborative, group songwriting workshop. This workshop is for everyone - even if you don’t consider yourself a musician, we will all work together to create a shared song. Songs for Change is a joyful exploration into how songwriting can be a vital form of expressing ourselves in times of uncertainty, with a focus on hope and creating change through telling positive stories._ _We will invite participants to think about what change they would like to see in the world as a starting point and from here we will co-create a short, catchy song that you can take out into the world, share with all your friends… or maybe even sing at a protest!_ | |||

This wonderful plant has been working with humans to inspire harmony, encourage connection, illuminate wisdom and uplift our spirits for thousands of years. Working with her intentionally and respectfully, she becomes the perfect ally to bring into our dance. Not only will drinking this sacred plant bring you energy to move with, but she’ll also potentialise your intentions and work on the subtle layers of energy within you to bring healing, love and kindness to whatever it is that you’re moving with in your life right now. There are some contraindications to drinking Cacao - if you are currently taking anti-depressants or experiencing low blood pressure, please read through this: [https://selenohealth.com/blogs/learn-about-cacao/safety-of-cacao](https://selenohealth.com/blogs/learn-about-cacao/safety-of-cacao) and get in touch to discuss a dose that will best support you.

Guided by a live DJ, we flow through an epic soundscape of all genres: fast and slow, classical to psytrance, drum and bass to dub - no style is off-limits! The music moves in waves; starting gently, building to vibrant peaks, and ending in stillness. There are no steps, no judgment, no need to perform - just pure, free expression. We generally dance barefoot, without talking, in a sober, mindful space where respect and presence create a safe container. Ecstatic Dance is transformative, playful, and deeply liberating. It releases stress, boosts endorphins, and connects us to community, ourselves, and even a higher source. It can truly one of the most magical experiences life has to offer! * * * **Guidelines** **To keep the space safe and enjoyable for everyone, we follow these simple guidelines:** - **Speech:** No chatting on the dance floor - sounding is welcome but please be considerate of others. - **Footware:** We like to dance barefoot to ground, but if you need to wear shoes, please bring clean soft indoor shoes and be mindful of people's toes! - **Boundaries /consent:** Respect others' personal space & check for consent before dancing with someone. If you're not sure whether it's a 'yes', treat it like a 'no'. There is no need to dress to impress! This is not a space where you need to look good… this is a movement meditation. - **Substances:** No alcohol, drugs or other substances - this is a sober practice - **Screen free:** No phones or cameras during the dance - drop out of your head and into your body and give yourself the gift of switching off! The team may take short videos/pictures for promotional reasons - if you do not want to be in a video/photo, please let us know before or after the dance. - **Feel free:** Dance how you want; as much or as little movement as is right for you - this is a non-judgemental space. Feel free to close your eyes, bring a blindfold, dance to the wall... you do you!! * * * **What should I wear/bring?** - Comfy clothes you can move freely in - layers are useful as you might get really hot dancing then cool down when still. - Earplugs if you're sensitive to loud music. - A journal and pen if you like to write. - Your beautiful self, a water bottle (refill available) and curiosity! | |||

The feeling of being securely wrapped in a silk hammock from head to toe, suspended in the air, slowly rocking, with the gentle breath meditation, the crystal bowls and the ambient music created a sublime and profound atmosphere. It was as if I was in a cocoon of total support, allowing peace to flow into my entire being."_ - Alison _"Being someone who is always on the move and finds it very difficult to relax, I found this session to be really valuable ‘me time!’ Initially, I found it difficult to let go and unwind where the muscles in my arms and legs were contracting. After a few minutes, I started to drift away into a soft slumber which was deeply relaxing. Despite this my senses were heightened and I became very conscious of the sounds that seemed to travel through my ears, vibrating all the way into my body. The gentle movements of the hammock with the music in the background made me feel like a young infant being rocked to sleep. A wonderfully calming and soothing experience, with the added bonus of not having to put in any physical effort. Great! I look forward to more of this." _- Navpreet ### **WHY HAMMOCKS? ROCK-ABYE-BABY & RESEARCH** Two new studies published in Current Biology suggest our brains are evolutionarily programmed to respond to rocking. Research also provides insight into why rocking is calming to babies. The brain wave synchronization occurs much easier through a rocking motion and allows the baby to feel more at home (i.e. it feels closer to being in the womb). And let’s not forget that we spend the first nine months of our lives being gently rocked in an amniotic sea. _“Since immemorial times we’ve rocked our babies, and often ourselves, to sleep,” _says lead author on the new paper, Konstantinos Kompotis, at the University of Lausanne, also in Switzerland. _“Our study provides new insights into the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying this phenomenon.”_ Dr Michael J Breus, a Certified Sleep Specialist, states that it’s the simplest of soothing, sleep-inducing remedies, something we all naturally do: rocking a baby gently to sleep. But why does it work? How exactly does a gentle rhythmic motion change the sleep architecture of the brain? **Repetitive motions, like those experienced in the gentle rocking of a hammock,** can soothe anxiety. Dr. Herbert Benson, founder of Harvard’s Mind/Body Medical Institute, recommends repetitive movement to elicit your body’s relaxation response. This reaction allows a lower heart rate, blood pressure, and muscle tension. **The gentle rocking of a hammock** will boost brain wave oscillations associated with better sleep and has been shown to provide a fertile ground for deep relaxation. More specifically, the rocking fortifies the brain waves that are naturally present during sleep which help maintain deep relaxation. Neuroscientist Laurence Bayer of the University of Geneva in Switzerland, likens the findings to our intuitive appreciation that a slowly rocking hammock can relax us and do wonders for our mood. _“This is potentially a very promising avenue for future clinical research,” he notes. _Rocking to sleep may have significant health benefits such as better quality of sleep and even improved long-term memory formation. **We all instinctively know about the power of a soothing, repetitive rocking motion and this in combination with live ambient soundscapes and aromatherapy is a potent synthesis for deep relaxation.** ### **ORGANIZER/ FACILITATOR/ MUSICIAN** **💙** [**Diana Upite (Dee):**](https://www.instagram.com/diana.upite/) Trained in classical music from a young age in Latvia, and later moving to UK to study contemporary music, **Dee carries a life-long passion for singing, improvising and re-imagining traditional Celtic and folk songs with her own melodic vision.** A singer at heart, she connects deeply with the melodies and harmonies of ancient Europe and beyond.

| Fall Circling Retreat | Fri, Oct 16, 5:00 PM UTC | Mountain Light Retreat, Mountain Light Place, Crozet, VA, USA | 3mxkalwmbrr22 | Curator |  # _Live the Mystical Heart of Circling_ ## 3 Days | 2 Nights | 6 Meals Our Fall retreat focuses on the contemplative and mystical aspects of Circling. We do this by drawing on traditions from all around the world. Whatever your spiritual background and beliefs, you will learn how to deepen _your_ path through Circling. The field we create at depth for three days will be our greatest aid and most profound teacher. What's included: - **Short readings and poetry** from the contemplative tradition - A **coaching session** (included with your ticket) to root your Circling practice into your personal growth edge and spiritual path - Each day begins with quiet hours for **meditation, prayer, and contemplation** - **Activities, teaching, and discussion blocks** help us explore and grow as practitioners - **Six meals** , snacks, tea, and coffee - Live together in **Circling consciousness** for three days  > I love The Container podcast and its crew. They’re playing on an important edge and bringing a lot of innovation and heart… I highly recommend them as community leaders and podcasters, and see them as pioneers leading us into a future that we want to create for ourselves and the generations to come. > > —Sean Wilkinson, co-founder of Transformational Connection ## Practices & Lifestyle Our home will be the Mountain Light Retreat Center. This allows us to encounter the mystical heart of Circling surrounded by the breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountains. - **Circle in an old mission church:** The location calls us to the sacred, both by the wonder of the natural world and the ongoing spiritual purpose of the buildings. - **Morning quiet time:** This provides open time to drop in with yourself using whatever methods feel true to you and your path. That might be meditation, reading, prayer, hiking, and more. - **Activity, teaching, and discussion:** We set aside time to hone your skills and foster insights into Circling using our intellect. - **Take walks on the nature trail:** On-site nature trails give you a way to drop in with nature, whether on your own or with others. - **Spend time in cozy gathering spaces:** During non-practice hours, there are plenty of relaxing venues to bond, connect, and discuss. - **Walk the outdoor and indoor labyrinths:** Take part in the ancient contemplative practice of walking labyrinths as you hold Circling consciousness. - **Readings and coaching:** If you've wondered about the mystical heart of the Circling practice but never had a chance to dive into it, this is it.      ## **Food & Accommodations** Meals, snacks, tea, and coffee are included. Wi-Fi is provided. _But there is no cell service at the location._ Accommodations include private rooms and shared rooms with two beds each. When you buy a ticket, you will be placed in a room with a roommate (see photo below). With the Private Room Add On, you'll upgrade to a room by yourself. If you're sharing your private room with someone, you will only need to buy one Private Room Add On.  _Double rooms_  _Private rooms_ ## Meet Your Facilitators |  | **Jonathan Clark** is a writer, podcast host, poet, mystic practitioner, and facilitator living in the Blue Ridge Mountains. His passion for the esoteric, religious, and academic, produces a distinctly original and wide-ranging body of work. In facilitation, Jonathan holds emergent spaces where Being can reflect on itself with love. This approach places Circling inside that oldest story of humanity: turning to union with the divine. | |  | **Sigh Goldsmith ** is a Circling facilitator, podcast host, and death doula. Her practice delves into the strange and ancient work of becoming more available to life. Years of contemplative, relational, and death practices have formed her approach which is both deeply grounding and magically expansive. Sigh creates spaces that allow us to open to the moment, soften our defenses, and discover the unknown together. | |  | **Hannah Hellsing** is a licensed therapist, spiritual development coach, and Circling facilitator in the Transformational Connection lineage. Hannah’s Circling practice is grounded by both love and courage, as she seeks the liberation of authenticity made possible by impeccable containers and radical self-responsibility. Plenty of playing also happens. | | |||

| Samhain Autumn Alignment Day Retreat | Sat, Oct 31, 10:00 AM UTC | The Haybarn Retreats Venue, Wall under Heywood, Church Stretton, UK | 3mxkalwq7k222 | Curator | As the nights draw in and the days get colder, we gather together on Samhain for a day of warmth, music, and connection 🍂 Samhain marks an ancient turning point in the wheel of the year, the end of the harvest and the beginning of the darker months. Traditionally, it is believed to be a time when the veil between the material and spiritual worlds is at its thinnest; a moment to honour those who walked before us, give thanks for what has been, and create space for what is yet to come. Surrounded by the Shropshire countryside at the Haybarn, we'll spend the day slowing down and reconnecting with ourselves, each other and the mystery of life through practices that nourish the body, heart and soul. 🎶 **Live Music from Bonnie Medicine** An intimate live performance with this incredible artist to carry us into the spirit of Samhain through music and song. 🙏 **Kirtan with Gurpreet & Rajan** Coming together through the ancient practice of devotional chanting, allowing our individual voices to become one. 🔥 **Samhain Fire Ceremony with Alex Dudgon** As darkness falls, we'll gather around the fire for a special ceremony honouring our ancestors and those we have lost to spirit. **✍️ Affirmations Workshop with Gurj (Seek Within)** An empowering and uplifting workshop exploring the science and spirituality of affirmations, how they influence the way we think and feel, and how to use them effectively before putting them into practice together as a group. 🧘 **The Art of Letting Go: Yin Yoga & Surrendering with Victoria (Wild Love Yoga)** A deeply restorative Yin Yoga journey inviting you to surrender the roles you play, soften into stillness and move from doing into simply being, using long-held postures and mindful breath to cultivate presence, acceptance, clarity and deeper connection to yourself. **🍂 Samhain opening ceremony with Sofia & Sandra Barnes** A grounding start to the day, offering to our ancestors, journeying through sound healing, and gently landing into the day as we connect with the deeper energy and dreaming of Samhain. 🥘 **Nourishing Lunch & Dinner with Tribe432** Two beautiful meals will be served during the day, giving us time to eat, connect and share together. 🍹 **The Conscious Bar ** Keith will be bringing his infamous Conscious Bar, serving delicious alcohol-free creations throughout the gathering. And when the programme comes to an end, there's no need to rush home. You're welcome to stay around the fire, connect with the community and allow the evening to unfold, with the option to stay overnight at The Haybarn. _ **\*All workshops, live music, and nourishing meals are included in your ticket. Drinks to be purchased separately. ** _ ✨ Tickets are only £88, covering the full day of workshops, music, and meals. With a limited amount available, we recommend booking soon to avoid disappointment. We ask people to arrive from 10am, with the event running 11am–10pm. After the programme of events, you’re welcome to relax and socialise around the fire into the night. Overnight stay is available at the Haybarn for £22 (in the barn or your live-in vehicle), with access to warm showers included. Please note, you’ll need to bring your own bedding if staying in the barn as it’s an empty room with a hard floor. We'd love to share this special day with you! A day to remember those who came before us, celebrate life, and to gather around the fire as we cross the threshold towards winter ❤️ | |||
| Return to Connection: Breathwork for Relationships. | – | – | 3mxkalwsleu22 | Curator | **Breathwork for relationships makes so much sense…** Things can get stagnant, underlying issues can fester, closeness can shift to distance and disconnect. Talking and talking therapy is amazing, bringing deep awareness and understanding and yet there can often be a resistance, challenge or struggle to let go of old stories and to make space for what is present, alive and emerging. ## **Why breathwork? ** - Breathwork takes us into an alternative state of consciousness where the frontal cortex (a.k.a thinking mind) is put on hold. - In a safe, supported and nurturing environment limiting beliefs, habitual thought patterns, the outsourcing finger pointer and inner critic are dialled down. - The physical, emotional, energetic and spiritual body has the opportunity to recalibrate and go through a ‘factory reset’ letting go of energy, tension, feelings and emotions that have been blocked. - This in turn clears the internal transmitters and receptors that are essential for the healthy exchange of honesty, vulnerability, appreciation and love. A bit like a good spring clean after a winter where there has been some low energy and some deeper work going on. **How does this help relationships?** - When there is a shared intention for connection and openness breathwork offers a space for armour and tension to soften. - It invites a shared appreciation for the powerful gift of presence and awareness. - Bringing a fresh sense of energy and what it means to feel true to the heart, and to see that in one another is a unique experience that supports healthy connection at all stages and all types of relationship. **Interested?** Get in touch and we can arrange a time for a free 15 minute discovery chat. **About me…** I offer these sessions having reflected on the challenges and successes of relationships with partners, friends and family. I won't pretend to have mastered the mystery of human connection but what I can say hand on heart is that being true to ourselves is the biggest gift we can give to the world, and is the foundational piece in all healing, growth and abundance. Regardless of how impressive the building, if the foundations lack integrity the view from the penthouse will be viewed with a heart that is discontent. **About my practice…** I bring a grounded, intuitive presence to my work as a facilitator. I am a trauma aware Embodied Resilience Practitioner and Conscious Connected Breathwork Facilitator, working with somatic experiencing and central nervous system regulation. I am trained in Non-Violent Communication, and spent 2.5 years working in alcohol and substance use recovery, facilitating support groups and working one-to-one with people during periods of deep challenge, transition, and growth. As a client I have enjoyed and grown through psychodynamic counselling, IFS, and Imago Therapy. In the last year I have been exploring a Shamanic Journeying practice through workshops and 1:1 sessions, as well as a form of bodywork called Quantum Structural Intergration. With reference to all the above, my practice explores a hybrid of cognitive and somatic work to find balance and flow in everyday life. I offer 1:1 coaching as well as couples and group work, and also work alongside Chris Giesler @ Men Of Earth offering menswork retreats and monthly meet ups. | |||

All are welcome- no experience required. All materials and mats/props are provided. If you have any questions, feel free to message Bethan at [rootedwithbethan@gmail.com](mailto:rootedwithbethan@gmail.com) or Claire at [Mamamakesitcrafty@gmail.com](mailto:Mamamakesitcrafty@gmail.com). Early bird pricing will end on the 9th October, so book on soon to make the most of that offer! We will be in the lovely Berry Farm, surrounded by the gorgeous Cotswolds countryside. There is plenty of onsite parking, one less thing to worry about! We hope to gather with you soon, Bethan & Claire xx   A bit more about us: 🌿 **Rooted | Gatherings inspired by the rhythms of nature** 🌿 [**Browse all my events here**](https://dandelion.events/o/rooted/events) (sound baths, yoga, drumming circles & more) Instagram & Facebook: [@rootedwithbethan](https://www.instagram.com/rootedwithbethan/) Subscribe to my mailing list [here](https://dandelion.events/o/rooted). Bethan, a yoga, sound and drum circle facilitator, holds spaces to bring people together to ground and gather, whilst having fun and building connection to ourselves and those around us in a way that feels real, welcoming and supportive. She came to yoga when she began to fall out of love with the general fitness world, and it has been a huge part of her journey with chronic pain, providing mobility and strength she otherwise may have never had. Her discovery of sound healing, and then especially when re-discovering the drum, felt like a real homecoming. Not gatekeeping music and sound to the performative world where you have to be “good at it”, instead opening this up for all of us to feel into its transformational power. Bethan believes sound has an unbelievable ability to bring us into presence, release stress and find connection or clarity. Whether a fluid flow, a restorative sound bath or an energising drumming circle, her offerings take deep inspiration around the lunar cycles and the seasons, as Bethan believes that nature and our land has so much to show us. Hence why outside of these spaces you’ll usually find her in the water, way out in the countryside (likely lost) or drumming around the stones of Avebury! | |||

| Sound Bath in the Hayloft | Mon, Nov 9, 6:00 PM UTC | The Hayloft, The Three Cups Inn, 90 Triangle, Malmesbury, SN16 0AH, UK | 3mxkalykgh622 | Curator | A 60 minute session to relax, reset and take time for yourself as we find ourselves deep in Autumn. We will start with some gentle breathwork and meditation before settling into a long rest, accompanied by the beautiful and relaxing sound of singing bowls and other sound healing instruments. All welcome, no experience necessary. If you have any questions, feel free to message Bethan at [rootedwithbethan@gmail.com](mailto:rootedwithbethan@gmail.com) See you soon, Bethan x 🌿 **Rooted | Gatherings inspired by the rhythms of nature** 🌿 [**Browse all my events here**](https://dandelion.events/o/rooted/events) (sound baths, yoga, drumming circles & more) Instagram & Facebook: [@rootedwithbethan](https://www.instagram.com/rootedwithbethan/) Subscribe to my mailing list [here](https://dandelion.events/o/rooted). **A bit more about me** Bethan, a yoga, sound and drum circle facilitator, holds spaces to bring people together to ground and gather, whilst having fun and building connection to ourselves and those around us in a way that feels real, welcoming and supportive. She came to yoga when she began to fall out of love with the general fitness world, and it has been a huge part of her journey with chronic pain, providing mobility and strength she otherwise may have never had. Her discovery of sound healing, and then especially when re-discovering the drum, felt like a real homecoming. Not gatekeeping music and sound to the performative world where you have to be “good at it”, instead opening this up for all of us to feel into its transformational power. Bethan believes sound has an unbelievable ability to bring us into presence, release stress and find connection or clarity. Whether a fluid flow, a restorative sound bath or an energising drumming circle, her offerings take deep inspiration around the lunar cycles and the seasons, as Bethan believes that nature and our land has so much to show us. Hence why outside of these spaces you’ll usually find her in the water, way out in the countryside (likely lost) or drumming around the stones of Avebury! | |||

In the Yurt, Jolly Nice, Frampton Mansell, Stroud, GL6 8HZ 🌿 **Perhaps you have heard of the wonders of yoga or the transformational power that sound can have? ** Whether you are looking to try something new, have tried one but not the other, or would simply love a space to enjoy them both, come along to leave feeling inspired, refreshed and buzzing with energy (possibly literally!). Both of these practices have been huge parts of my life, in overcoming chronic pain, and finding my voice and strength again, so I am so excited to share these short but jam-packed sessions with you to experience for yourself. 🌿 Join us this Autumn for 1 hour sessions to tap into the rhythms of nature, both through physical movement and the vibration of drumming together. We will start with a short yoga flow, weaving breathwork, fluid movement and longer held stretches to ease out any tension in the body and to get some energy moving. From here, we will move from the more physical movement into sound, where we'll drum together to feel into our collective rhythm and power. 🌿 **All are welcome** , there is no need to have any experience or to be ‘good’ or musical! Within the yoga practice, there are always options for everyone. When we're drumming, it's not about playing to a particular beat/rhythm, rather it's just drumming with whichever intention we would like to work with and allowing it to flow. 🌿 Drums/rattles will be provided. If you have your own, you are invited to bring it along so we have more to go round! As with most of my events, these will all take inspiration from the other rhythms of nature - the seasons, lunar cycles and more. If you have any questions at all, feel free to message Bethan at [rootedwithbethan@gmail.com](mailto:rootedwithbethan@gmail.com) **Available dates, all 6-7pm: ** Monday 5th October Monday 16th November See you soon, Bethan x 🌿 **Rooted | Gatherings inspired by the rhythms of nature** 🌿 [**Browse all my events here**](https://dandelion.events/o/rooted/events) (sound baths, yoga, drumming circles & more) Instagram & Facebook: [@rootedwithbethan](https://www.instagram.com/rootedwithbethan/) Subscribe to my mailing list [here](https://dandelion.events/o/rooted).

| IFS, Parts & Psychedelics | Tue, Oct 27, 4:00 PM UTC | – | 3mxkam2qz3f22 | Curator | # IFS Parts & Psychedelics ### A 4-week Course Guiding the Inner System ### through IFS and Psychedelic Integration _In Collaboration with_ [_Life Architect_](https://lifearchitect.com/) ## About This four-part module series introduces key Internal Family Systems (IFS) concepts and how we utilize them in preparation, journey, and integration of psychedelic journeys. Applying IFS can maximize impact and safety within Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy (PAT). Our time together will be a blend between didactic and experiential exercises giving you time to learn content and practice. Case stories will enhance concepts and practices of this work. Four four-hour modules will be broken down as follows: - **Module 1** – Overview of the IFS Model: Basic IFS Principals (85% IFS and 15% PAT) [This is the basis for all other modules.] - **Module 2** – Deepening our Inquiry into the Protective System: Protector Fears (both in regular sessions and as relates to journeys) and Reassurances (50% IFS and 50% PAT) - **Module 3** – Polarizations, Following the Thread, and Guides and Unattached Burdens (50% IFS and 50% PAT) - **Module 4** – The Guide’s Set and Setting – How We Use IFS in Preparation, Journey, and Integration, as well as Integration with Post-Unburdening Maintenance and Neuroplasticity (90% PAT - putting it all together). This course is for those who are already facilitating psychedelic journeys, plan to, are facilitating preparation and integration, or have been trained in PAT and planning to offer services. _Although a background in IFS and facilitation is helpful during this course, it is not mandatory to be a facilitator or working in the field to join. _ ### **Learning Objectives:** - Identify the four goals of IFS - Apply basics of IFS in your psychedelic services - Identify and distinguish your Self from your parts (and those of your clients) - Speak for rather than from your parts and learn why this is important ### **Why Internal Family Systems?** - In over 80% of psychedelic journeys “parts” come up spontaneously - It’s non-pathologizing and non-judgmental - Psychedelics can open up the space of “Self” - Knowing about your own system begins to provide for safety in the medicine space - IFS is evidence-based and the fastest growing modality - It provides for deeper transformational healing - It’s a methodology that has a solid foundation and has gained incredible interest ## Schedule 4xTuesdays 27th October - 17th November - Tuesday 27th October 4pm-8pm (GMT) / 8am-12:00pm (PST) - Tuesday 3rd November 4pm-8pm (GMT) / 8am-12:00pm (PST) - Tuesday 10th November 4pm-8pm (GMT) / 8am-12:00pm (PST) - Tuesday 17th November 4pm-8pm (GMT) / 8am-12:00pm (PST) # Your Facilitator  Michelle Glass is a Certified Level 3 IFS Practitioner, Oregon Licensed Psilocbyin Facilitator, and Alternative Counselor in Eugene, Oregon who has 20 years of IFS experience and has accumulated over 380 hours of direct study with Richard Schwartz, PhD, the founder of IFS. She developed and is the author of the Daily Parts Meditation Practice®: A Journey of Embodied Integration for Clients and Therapists, which has become a valued method of deep embodiment of the IFS Model and healing integration. The DPMP® was trademarked in Spring 2022 and contains six tools of integration which is now also available in both English and Spanish. These tools of integration can also be found within the IFS-inspired app called Sentur. She has given workshops on the DPMP® online and across the globe. Her focus has shifted to IFS and Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy. Michelle is currently writing a workbook for psychedelic preparation and integration using the DPMP® tools. A complementary series of IFS-inspired preparation and integration for psychedelic journeys will be available in early 2025 (as well as available within the Sentur app). She offers a 22-Hour Comprehensive IFS Introductory for Psychedelic Facilitators course a few times a year, as well as provides smaller workshops aimed to help IFS-trained professionals better support their clients who are seeking out psychedelics outside of their services. Michelle received a Certificate in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy from Naropa Institute and Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) in 2022. In addition, she served as the Editor for OUTLOOK, the Foundation for Self Leadership’s magazine, for seven years. She used IFS to heal from a traumatic childhood and is now an enthusiastic Hope Merchant. Michelle wants to help everyone experience that same healing. She takes great pleasure in bringing more Self-energy and Self-leadership to psychedelic facilitators, creating safer medicine spaces. Michelle is honored to have both Dick Schwartz and Gabor Maté as mentors and friends. She is the proud mother and step-mother of three incredible grown children. Outside of her work life, she enjoys regular visits to ocean, gardening, canning and drying garden produce, camping, cooking, listening to podcasts, writing, and time spent with friends and family. # Life Architect [**Life Architect**](http://www.lifearchitect.com) is an education and retreat organization dedicated to empowering mental health professionals through immersive, transformative learning experiences.

| Professional Diploma in SOMA Transcendence Therapy (STT) | – | – | 3mxkam2xbnh22 | Curator | A mentored, clinically grounded training for people already working with others who keep meeting the edge of what talking can reach. SOMA stands for Somatic Orientation, Meaning and Alignment: body first, then meaning, then a life that matches. Begin with seven months of Space Holder training and continue, if it is right for you, into the full 15-month Professional Diploma. - Duration: 7 months (Space Holder, Level 5 aligned) or 15 months (full Diploma, Level 6 aligned) - Format: Online, live and mentored, with optional in-person Elemental Retreats - Structure: One module per month, so the learning has time to land - Cohort: September 2026 start Teaching: Two live coaching calls each month, mentored triads, monthly student practice, self-directed study - Assessment: Practical assignments, supervised practice hours, case studies and reflections There is a moment most practitioners recognise. The client has understood their pattern completely. They can name it, date it, explain it. And it is still running. SOMA Transcendence Therapy was built for that moment. SOMA stands for Somatic Orientation, Meaning and Alignment, and that is also the order of the work: orient the body and the nervous system first, then meet meaning, then bring it into alignment with how someone actually lives. Body, mind and soul are treated as one system rather than three separate departments. The body is regulated and resourced, the mind is worked with directly through language and attention, and the deeper, older layer people call soul is given a real container rather than being left to a weekend of intensity. Three disciplines carry that work, and students train in all three: - Naturopathy. Hydration, nutrition, gut health, rest, breath and the physiology that makes any therapy hold. A dysregulated body does not integrate insight. - NLP. Language, focus and physiology. How to move a state, reframe a belief, anchor a change and set an outcome that a client can actually reach. - Shamanic practice. Ceremony, drum journey, the Celtic wheel, ancestors and allies. Depth work with clear ethics, clear consent and no appropriation. A note on altered states. The training works extensively with altered states of consciousness: shamanic journeying, drum and rhythm, breathwork, sound and voice, meditation, hypnotic language, fasting, cold exposure and somatic release. No psychedelic substance is used, offered or facilitated at any point in the 15 months. Psychedelic-assisted work is a separate post-diploma specialisation and is not part of this programme. The training is led by Fed Podeschi through the Shamanic Activations Academy, alongside the Merlin Clinic where the method is used with real clients. The curriculum, month by month Months 1 to 7: Shamanic Space Holder, Level 5 aligned You learn to hold a room and a nervous system safely, and you can qualify and exit here. - Foundation Principles and Practices: the three roots of the method and how they meet in the body - Understanding Trauma and Healing: trauma physiology, window of tolerance, safe and sacred space - Space Holding Skills: client dynamics, group holding, ceremony design from opening to closing - Professional Development: ethics, scope, insurance, referral and practitioner self-care - Traditions and Allies: the Celtic wheel, trees, moon cycles, elements and ancestors - Additional Practices: altered states, journeying, somatic inquiry and the STT Alignment Tool - Integration and Review: integration after altered states, breakthrough facilitation, assessment By the end you can design and hold a safe altered-state process one to one or in a group, with consent, containment and aftercare in place. Months 8 to 15: Professional Diploma in STT, Level 6 aligned - You become a practitioner who can take a client through a course of therapy. - Client Charter, Coaching and Professional Practice: intake, assessment, planning, notes and safety protocols - Deep Dive and Practices: advanced STT methodology, energy work in session, working a real case end to end - Shamanic Therapy and Group Transformation: retreat design, the eight-phase drum journey, breathwork facilitation - Sound Tools, Music and Singing: voice, instruments and entrainment, with nutrition and gut health as the base - Human Connection, Intimacy, Family Systems and Loss: attachment, sexuality and ethics, family systems, grief - Shadow Integration and Crisis Healing: depth work with containment, and recognising when to hold or refer - Specialist Masterclasses and Building Your Practice: your specialisation, named method and real infrastructure - Certification and Practice: supervised client hours, case studies, final assessment and qualification What you will be able to do - Hold ceremony, session and group safely, with clear consent and clear scope - Assess and screen a client, plan a course of work, and know confidently when to refer on - Move a state with breath, sound, drum, language and touch-free somatic method - Work with the body rather than around it, so change is felt and not only understood - Support integration so insight becomes a changed life rather than a good story - Run a professional practice with proper notes, supervision, ethics and a viable income After the Diploma Graduates may continue into the advanced post-diploma specialisation in psychedelic-assisted therapy, delivered with legal partners abroad. That pathway sits entirely outside this training and is open only to those who have completed the Diploma. Who it is for Therapists, counsellors, coaches, bodyworkers, nurses, teachers, breathwork and sound practitioners, and space holders already working with people. Beginners with genuine calling and emotional maturity are considered individually. It tends not to suit anyone wanting a fast credential without doing their own work first.

Allow yourself to be bathed in an ethereal ocean of vibration. Enjoy the deep, complex overtones of multiple gongs singing together, resonating continuously through the night. On this magical portal when the veil is thin and the Earth is charged, we are primed to receive maximum benefits. This immersive soundscape melts the boundaries between being awake and asleep, between your inner world and the cosmos beyond. An All-Night Gong Puja is a truly magical experience. As you drift to sleep with a symphony of gongs playing, the sounds work to transform your brainwaves, guiding you into a state of the deepest conscious sleep. Meditate or surrender to slumber as the gongs harmonize your entire being, facilitating profound rest and healing. "The gong is the spirit song. It is the primal whisper of the soul. Its sounds are the echo of the original word that created the world, the sound within all sounds." Yogi Bhajan Gongs are incredible instruments of Transformation and cosmic healing. They generate powerful, intense vibrations that stimulate feelings of peace and deep relaxation, allowing for the release of stress and the enhancement of your overall well-being. The sound of the gongs opens the gates to universal love, connecting you with all that is. As you create this harmonious space around yourself, you'll realize the magnificent power you possess to create your own happiness and well-being. This journey will help you release emotional blocks, creating a hallowed space within you to fill with pure love, grace and tranquility.

This will be followed with sacred mantra to uplift and inspire our souls. After a short break to set up your cozy 'sleeping nests,' you will receive a brief introduction to gongs and vibrations before being bathed in their sound waves until the morning light. As the powerful vibrations and harmonics wash over you, they will induce deep relaxation and natural altered states of consciousness, helping to release tensions and blockages. You will awaken revitalized and rejuvenated, brimming with a new zest for life! The sound may feel quite intense at moments at the beginning of the night, but we will gently ease into a more comforting flow until the early morning. Around 5:30 am, the gongs will fall silent for 30 minutes of stillness and reflection. During this time, you will dive into SHUNIA—a state of deep listening and profound silence—before being gently awakened by the sounds of the shabd, (healing mantras) that help you arise into a new you and a new life. We will then perform some celestial meditation to celebrate our fresh new beginning.

Facilitators The Gong Bath will be led by Gong Teachers: • Joanna Bilik • Kwali Kumara • & Special Guests What is a Gong Puja? Puja (Sanskrit & Pali: pūjā) is an expression of "honor and devotional attention." A Gong Puja is a sacred space for honoring our being's innate ability to heal—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It is the truest form of honoring thyself! In our Galactic all-night Gong Puja, the gongs are played gently throughout the night while guests sleep, bathed in their healing vibrations. As you are immersed in this cosmic ocean of sound, you repair and rejuvenate as the vibrations wash over you, cleansing, unblocking, and setting you free. The powerful harmony created by the gong tones brings about an inner stillness where deep healing can occur. The pioneering Swiss mathematician and musicologist Hans Cousto, who calculated the planetary frequencies used in today's gongs, discovered it takes 45 minutes to complete a full sound journey. Yogi Bhajan, the Master of Kundalini Yoga, believed the gong was the most powerful tool for healing, and that this 45-minute session could clear immediate blocks. He stated that ten consecutive gong healings would clear most blocks so that the soul could then heal itself, relieving the body of human suffering and helping us return to a state of belonging and joy. In 2000, Grand Gong Master Don Conreaux, whom Joanna produced a movie that achieved viral YouTube Status “Journey into Gongs and Sound Therapy” about and facilitated with many times, developed the first official Overnight Gong Puja to deliver these ten consecutive gong baths in one grand night of healing. As participants slept, their minds could float in a state of cosmic consciousness while their bodies rested in the most optimal state for healing—deep sleep. This 7.5-hour experience is the equivalent of ten 45-minute gong baths, a truly timeless journey. Important Information: Is a Gong Puja suitable for everyone? Gong baths, in general, are not suitable for anyone with a pacemaker, those who suffer from fits (epileptics), or anyone who is extremely sensitive to sound. They are also not recommended for women in the first trimester of pregnancy due to the unstable nature of that time. If you wear a hearing aid, please turn it off during the session. If you have any health concerns, please consult with your doctor in advance. Looking forward to celebrating and serving you with love. Joanna Bilik 07973353815 Kwali Kumara 07795273401 | |||
| Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra | Fri, Oct 30, 6:15 PM UTC | Abbotswood Sports Ground, Cutforth Way, Romsey, UK | 3mxkam3ijnu22 | Curator | **A portal to rest and rebalance** These classes run fortnightly on Friday evenings at Abbotswood Function room (Abbotswood Sports Ground, Cutforth Way, Romsey) Yin yoga consists of a series of poses held for up to several minutes at a time.

These classes are available to everyone! **Things to Note:** Wear something comfortable! You are welcome to bring a cushion and/or blanket to cover yourself in Savasana.

| Bad Girl Bootcamp | Wed, Oct 14, 6:00 PM UTC | The Tribe, Berry Pomeroy, Totnes, UK | 3mxkam3lqu422 | Curator | **If you're craving an edgy and exciting space where you can explore taboo topics and unpack your shadow material, with love, mischief and celebration at the core, this is for you. ** We are creating a container safe _enough_ for real daring, where you can be tender, vulnerable, open-hearted, wild and an unapologetic badass bitch all at once. _ **Together we'll shift how you relate to desire, boundaries and power, helping you get more clarity on what you really want, and practice standing up for yourself with confidence, kindness and skill.** _ ## [_ **Check out our taster event on the 30th September** _](https://dandelion.events/e/badgirltaster) .jpg) _The Vibe_ ## **Why Badgirl Bootcamp?** As women we've been societally conditioned to be the peace-makers, the people pleasers, the 'good girls'. Even those of us who are years into ‘the work’, still find ourselves bending our boundaries to accommodate others, holding back from asking for what we really want, and shying away from wielding the power that’s available to us. Bad Girl Bootcamp is a closed group for women on the journey of personal development, who are ready to explore and transform their relationship to desires, boundaries and power. **Through this work, we become women who:** - Speak truth to power and challenge systems of oppression - Claim our right to rest, pleasure, and play - Ask for what we're worth - in money, time, and recognition - Redirect energy spent on invisible labour towards things we care about - Stop trying to do everything ourselves and start asking for the support we need - Celebrate our own victories and revel in the success of others  ## **What Happens in Bad Girl Bootcamp?** This work is about what happens to us _in relationship -_ the way we bend, crumble or shrink around others - so the sessions centre on partner and group exercises designed to get to the root of our 'good girl' conditioning, and to practice, with real humans, standing up for ourselves with power and love. Drawing on over a decade of group facilitation experience, we hold this as an emergent space, responding to the themes arising in the group rather than making our way through a fixed curriculum. The group is heavily inspired by the work of Kasia Urbaniak, Taoist nun, world-class dominatrix, teacher and author, whose potent and playful teachings have been influential in our own empowerment journeys. Using some of Kasia's frameworks, we'll explore desire, boundaries and power in an embodied way, bringing the teachings to life through movement and voice-work. Some things we will include: - **Partner and group inquiry** - to unearth the root causes of our relationship patterns - **Movement and dance** - to regulate and energise our bodies, making us more available for the work - **Embodied games** - to playfully explore and rewire our relationship to desire and power - **Voice work, song, and sounding ritual** - to release emotion and support us to unlock our voices. - **Role play** - to practice asking for what we want or giving challenging feedback - **Small group sharing circles** - to process what’s arising in session, witnessing and celebrating each other  ## The Commitment This is a closed container, which means we’ll be journeying with the same group of women for 5 sessions over 3 months. To preserve the integrity of the space, we request attendance at all sessions and prompt time keeping. This helps us to create a tight container, showing respect for each other’s time, and builds trust and depth week on week. We’ll of course be flexible in the case of sickness or emergency, but if your life is already crammed, or you know there’s more than one date you can’t do, we request that you wait until next time we run this group, as lateness and dropping in and out become disruptive to the group process. ### **Dates and Times** Sessions are held every other Wednesday from 7-9:30pm 1. 14th Oct 2. 28th Oct 3. 11th Nov 4. 25th Nov 5. 9th Dec Please arrive 10-15 minutes before 7pm so we can get settled and ready to begin at 7. * * * ## About your Facilitators  ## Gaia Harvey Jackson Gaia is a group work facilitator specialising in women's empowerment, relationship coaching, and conscious dance.

| Nonviolent Communication Online Practice Group | Sun, Nov 8, 7:00 PM UTC | – | 3mxkam3msjp22 | Curator | Have you had some experience of NVC? This is an opportunity to build on that foundation, learning the deeper holistic and practical understandings and applications of this approach, with me, Clare Palmer, Certified Trainer in NVC with over 20 years experience. If you are perhaps struggling to integrate NVC into your life and its challenges, this course is an excellent way to explore how to bring these ideas into your daily life and form lasting habits. This is a 14-week course, held on Zoom usually every 2 weeks, on a Sunday evening 7 – 8.30 pm starting on Sunday 8 November 2026. In each session we work with a chapter of Marshall Rosenberg’s book Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life, using the Companion Workbook written by Lucy Leu, which participants are encouraged to buy. I will lead you through different themes each session, for example Giving from the Heart, or Taking Responsibility for Our Feelings. This course is aimed at those who have completed a Foundation in Nonviolent Communication or equivalent training or study. Please contact me if you’re not sure if the course is suited to you. Because everyone will already have basic knowledge, we will be able to dive into themes with greater depth. Because the course takes place over about 6 months and “homework” is encouraged between sessions, this is a really powerful way of integrating this approach into your life over a long period of time with the support of the group. There will be a mixture of exercises and activities including chances to explore challenges and examples from your own life. The course will run if at least 6 people sign up. Group size maximum 12. I have been leading practice groups like this for 20 years and will make sure each participant is included and supported. | |||

| Joy of Three Temple - The Temple of Trinity | Sat, Dec 5, 10:30 AM UTC | Ashley Vale Action Group - Wildgoose Space, Mina Road, Bristol, UK | 3mxkam3qozy22 | Curator | **Joy of Three - The Temple of Trinity** Between solo self-love, the intimate meeting of “pairs” and the sensual pile-up of “group”, there is three. The Ménage à Trois is often the first fantasy we grow outside of the couple. When we add an additional person, we add a whole new infinite dimension to the possibilities. Three is three dimensional. Where before we had serve/receive, we now have serve/receive/observe, serve/receive/assist, serve/serve/receive, serve/contain/direct and more… It is this configuration that we now call into this temple seeking the deeper Mystery of three. The material world presents in polarity and at a hidden level, reality is often based in trinity: Positive/Negative/Neutral, Father/Mother/Child, God/Human/Ghost, Masculine/Feminine/Androgyne. Three is about learning to share. Leaving behind polarity as a default and “union” as a goal, we offer you a space to explore move freely through and play within the trinities in an infinite spectrum of possibilities. This can offer a space to break our attachments to fixed identity. The power released in this alchemical dynamic becomes the dynamo of our Temple, to rejuvenate our spirit and freshly re-generate culture. Join us in this juicy exploration of personal pleasure and collective power. The first half of the day will be offered through embodied and connection mediations and practices. In the second half we enter into a free flowing playtime — we then invite you to let it all go, in the temple of Trinity. **Date ** : Saturday 5th December **Time: ** 10.30am to 5.30pm **Venue :** The Wild Goose, The Yard, St Werburghs, Bristol, BS2 9YP. **Cost :** Price £85, Low income - £75, Abundant supporters £85 **Things to bring: ** - An offering/flower for the shrine - A yummy dish to share for lunch - Something tasty and delicious to share with the group for snack - We will provide herbal teas and a fruit platter **Further information: ** **This temple is not for beginners.** You do need to have been to at least two temples before. You do need to have experience of being in similar spaces with a certain level of awareness, openness and willingness to explore is essential for your own self-care and also the synergy of the group. We invite you to come, just as you are and feel. We know that being in these environments can bring up a lot of emotions. This is a safe space to welcome them and work with them in an embodied, held and ritual temple space. The evening will be held throughout. Temple is a sober space. **FOR COUPLES:** _ Please make your agreements together before you arrive at Temple. _ **Cancellation:** **We have a no refund policy for the Temple.** However, you are welcome to sell your ticket on to a friend.

The Journey First 40 minutes — Regulation, Body Awareness & Free Movement We begin by slowing down, arriving in the body and creating a sense of grounding and presence. Through gentle nervous-system regulation, breathwork and body awareness, we explore free movement through Qi-Gong practice with the guest teacher @Michelle Brace. Using simple movements, spirals, and energy exploration, we begin to notice sensations, soften tension and discover new possibilities for movement — without forcing or following choreography. You’ll be introduced to simple tools that can support regulation, resilience, energy and emotional balance, while developing a deeper awareness of how your body feels and moves. 1 hour 40 minutes — Ecstatic Dance Wave From this grounded place, we gather in a circle and begin with a short grounding meditation before moving into the Ecstatic Dance Wave. The music takes us on a carefully curated journey — from grounding and release into expansion, vitality and joy, before gradually returning towards calm and stillness. There are no steps to follow and no right or wrong way to move. This is an invitation to listen to your body, explore free movement and express yourself authentically. Last 15 minutes — Relaxation & Integration We close with a soothing 15-minute guided full-body relaxation, giving your nervous system and body time to settle and integrate the experience. Afterwards, there is space to stay, relax, have a chat and connect with others — or simply enjoy some quiet time for yourself.

| Family Constellations November Group | Fri, Nov 20, 6:45 PM UTC | Birdwood House, High Street, Totnes, UK | 3mxkam4ac7n22 | Curator | Family constellations offers a profound view into the unseen patterns and dynamics shaping our family systems. Through the use of representatives, we activate the ‘field’—a powerful energetic space that reveals the roots behind the challenges and tensions we face. This work shines a light on areas such as: • Health • Creative blocks • Addiction • Love and relationships • Money • Home and belonging Each evening begins with gentle, embodied practices to warm the body, settle the nervous system, and arrive fully into the space. From there, we open the field for participants to bring their topics. We usually have time for two full constellations per session. You’re warmly invited to bring an issue you wish to explore or simply join as a participant in the field. Often, witnessing and holding space for others carries just as much personal insight and potential transformation. **Dates:** 11th September 6.45-9.15pm It is an open group so feel free to join for one session or all the sessions. Venue: Main Room, Birdwood House, High St, Totnes The constellations will be held in the main room of Birdwood house, up the first flight of stairs and on the right. **Ticket policy** Tickets can be transferred to someone else's name any time up until the event — just let us know, or forward your ticket on. If tickets sell out, you can join the waitlist and we'll email you if a space opens up. Refunds are available up to a week before the event. After that, tickets are non-refundable. **About me:** With over 20 years dedicated to ceremony, ritual, and music, constellations naturally became a complementary path for me. I trained intensively for 18 months with Petr Malik in the Czech Republic, deepening my practice in constellations, shadow work, shamanic healing, and tantric ritual. I’m excited to bring this transformative approach to Totnes and create a space for healing and connection. Words from past participants: “It was a real gift” “A remarkable space” “Such a special evening" | |||

I trained intensively for 18 months with Petr Malik in the Czech Republic, deepening my practice in constellations, shadow work, shamanic healing, and tantric ritual. I’m excited to bring this transformative approach to Totnes and create a space for healing and connection. Words from past participants: “It was a real gift” “A remarkable space” “Such a special evening" | |||
| Womb Weavers | Tue, Sep 1, 3:56 PM UTC | – | 3mxkam4dwht22 | Curator | There is more inside you. More aliveness, more depth, more of yourself waiting just beneath the surface. You may have felt it for years, or it may have only just spoken up. Womb Weavers is a women’s membership community where we meet the body with honour, compassion and acceptance, and learn to move at its true pace, which is often one of slowness. Each month we gather online for live guided somatic practice, deep teaching, and a grounded, sacred space where real change happens. We work with the whole body, because this is where the doors open. To expanded states. To fuller aliveness. To the layers of yourself you have not yet had access to. This is not fluffy and not abstract. It is grounded in somatic science and 30 years of embodied practice. Founding-member price is €21/month, locked in for as long as you stay. Come and weave yourself whole, together with other women. | |||
| Malmesbury Mixed Drumming Circle | Mon, Dec 7, 7:00 PM UTC | The Hayloft, The Three Cups Inn, 90 Triangle, Malmesbury, SN16 0AH, UK | 3mxkam4fqwd22 | Curator | Join for an evening to gather and connect to the power of the drum. Gathering as we head towards the Winter Solstice and Yule. A time to retreat inwards, to pause and rest. We will move through meditation, drumming, singing and sharing. No drumming experience necessary, everyone is welcome. This is a space for all to connect with the power and spirit of the drum as we drum together- there is no need to be ‘good’ or musical! Drums/rattles will be provided. If you have your own, you are invited to bring it along so we have more to go round! We meet at each point of the Wheel of the year, so our next circle will be for Imbolc. This date will be confirmed soon. Drop me an email at [rootedwithbethan@gmail.com](mailto:rootedwithbethan@gmail.com) if you have any questions. Would love to drum with you soon!

She came to yoga when she began to fall out of love with the general fitness world, and it has been a huge part of her journey with chronic pain, providing mobility and strength she otherwise may have never had. Her discovery of sound healing, and then especially when re-discovering the drum, felt like a real homecoming.

Bethan believes sound has an unbelievable ability to bring us into presence, release stress and find connection or clarity. Whether a fluid flow, a restorative sound bath or an energising drumming circle, her offerings take deep inspiration around the lunar cycles and the seasons, as Bethan believes that nature and our land has so much to show us.

Gathering around Samhain, the half-way point between the Autumn Equinox & Winter Solstice, a time to honour the Autumn season that we're in, as we head towards the darker and colder months. Believe it or not, this time used to be our New Year! The Celtic celebration of the Year's End & New Beginnings- a time of finding gratitude and releasing what has happened this year to allow new seeds and dreams to be planted for the next. Like how the trees are shedding their leaves to allow for growth and abundance next year, this is an invitation for us to do the same. We will move through meditation, drumming, singing and sharing.

| The Artist's Way Our Way | Mon, Nov 9, 12:00 PM UTC | – | 3mxkam4kaoi22 | Curator | ### The Artist’s Way A 12-week online creative recovery programme for a group of up to 12 people, facilitated by an experienced artist and facilitator. Julia Cameron’s _The Artist’s Way_ is a 12-week creative recovery programme for anyone who feels drawn to exploring or reconnecting with their creativity. This course is designed for people who are new to _The Artist’s Way_, those stuck in a creative block and those who consider themselves “not creative” but would like to be. You can find out more about the programme's principles from Julia Cameron [here](https://www.awakin.org/v2/read/view.php?tid=916). There is also a lot of information online. ### A note on spirituality It is worth mentioning that _The Artist’s Way_ includes the concept of “God”. In newer editions, Cameron explains that “God” can be understood as anything that represents a higher power — nature, the universe, spirit, or something else meaningful to you. It does not need to be religious, but the programme is absolutely spiritual in its values and practices. ### Your facilitator The course is facilitated by Sal, a performance artist, writer and facilitator with more than a decade of experience. After completing _The Artist’s Way_ several years ago, Sal experienced a significant transformation in their own life. They stopped drinking alcohol, moved out of London and began making more art. Their most recent work, a theatre show called _Perfect Little Flirt_, sold out at this year’s Brighton Fringe. Alongside their creative practice, Sal works in alternative provision with young people who have opted out of mainstream education. Through this work, they have developed facilitation strategies rooted in relationship-building, empathy and understanding. As a result, this is not a traditional “classroom” environment. Instead, it is a supportive circle of people finding their own way through the process together. ### The approach We will meet online as a group. Sal will facilitate this group by leading activities from the book, providing prompts for reflection and discussion and answering any questions you may have. The Artist's Way demands that we are working on our creative recovery daily. There are many exercises in the book which you can do suring your week. Of course, this is not always possible for numerous reasons. My take is that, if we can commit to showing up for 90 minutes a week as art of a group, this can still have a significant imapct on your creative practice. You might complete 40% of the course, 85%, or somewhere in between. Sal actively rejects the idea of “100% culture”, recognising that perfectionism can become a barrier to creativity. The aim is not to do the programme perfectly, but to engage with it in whatever way feels meaningful and sustainable for youIf you haven't done the reading, you can still show up and Sal will provide helpful summary sheets of each week. ### What does my money get me? 12 x 90 minute sessions of guided creative recovery with an experienced practitioner Weekly summaries if you can't make a session or haven't been able to do the exercises Look-Forward highlights of the chapter ahead so you know how to plan around your own schedule Optional access to a Whatsapp group with your facilitator, Sal and other consenting members ### A final note Some people have found that this programme creates ripples which positively impact their life for months or years to come. It is worth doing a bit of research and reading or watching some testimonies to see if this is for you before buying a ticket. I personally recommend Doechii's YouTube series about her experience. I hope to see you online for the first session. ### ### Course Dates **Week 1 — Monday 9 November 2026, 6:00–7:30pm** _Recovering a Sense of Safety_ **Week 2 — Monday 16 November 2026, 6:00–7:30pm** _Recovering a Sense of Identity_ **Week 3 — Monday 23 November 2026, 6:00–7:30pm** _Recovering a Sense of Power_ **Week 4 — Monday 30 November 2026, 6:00–7:30pm** _Recovering a Sense of Integrity_ **Week 5 — Monday 7 December 2026, 6:00–7:30pm** _Recovering a Sense of Possibility_ **Week 6 — Monday 14 December 2026, 6:00–7:30pm** _Recovering a Sense of Abundance_ ### Winter Break **Monday 21 December 2026** **Monday 28 December 2026** **Week 7 — Monday 4 January 2027, 6:00–7:30pm** _Recovering a Sense of Connection_ **Week 8 — Monday 11 January 2027, 6:00–7:30pm** _Recovering a Sense of Strength_ **Week 9 — Monday 18 January 2027, 6:00–7:30pm** _Recovering a Sense of Compassion_ **Week 10 — Monday 25 January 2027, 6:00–7:30pm** _Recovering a Sense of Self-Protection_ **Week 11 — Monday 1 February 2027, 6:00–7:30pm** _Recovering a Sense of Autonomy_ **Week 12 — Monday 8 February 2027, 6:00–7:30pm** _Recovering a Sense of Faith_ | |||

| Flourish: Tantric Keys for Happiness: A 4-part workshop for women | Sat, Oct 24, 10:00 AM UTC | Tara Yoga Centre, Ironmonger Row, London, UK | 3mxkam56avk22 | Curator | **Flourish: Tantric Keys for Happiness ** _ **A 4-part workshop for women** _ Join us :) Book via https://tarayogacentre.co.uk/events _What do we need in life to be happy? What would it take to feel fully at home in yourself as a woman?_ Happiness is a journey of discovery rather than a far-away destination. When we are happy, we blossom. Everything and everyone around us begin to blossom too. The ancient system of Tantra holds keys to a happiness that is available in every moment. The Tantrics refer to life as a playground for learning where the everyday ordinary experiences become sublime. Across four workshops we will work with four core attitudes, one per session: **Nourishment** : finding the sweet spot between giving and receiving **Sensuality** : coming back into your senses and feeling the erotic nature of your body **Courage** : acting from what you want rather than from what you fear **Wonder** : meeting the familiar as if for the first time _Each workshop balances and deepens an area of life that is often left on autopilot. Each session will give you something practical to take home. _ Together we will go on a journey, exploring the deepest corners of the heart in a safe and nourishing space. The four sessions build on one another, and each also stands on its own, so come to all four or come to one. Bring a notebook, an open heart, and, if you wish, a friend. _There are no explicit sexual interactions, and there’s no obligation to participate in the exercises. _ **Postponed: the series now starts on Saturday 24th October.** Schedule of the series: **Part 1: Nourish through Love / Come home to your body: 24th October 11am-1pm ** There is a warmth every one of us longs for: the boundless, nourishing love of a mother. It gives without measure and asks for nothing in return. And it is already alive in you, waiting to be awakened. Discover how the intimate art of truly caring, for yourself and for each other, can become an overflowing source of joy and a beautiful journey of coming home to yourself. **Part 2: Savour the pleasures of life / Savour the sweetness of life: 7th November 11am-1pm** The art of savouring all the delights of life is not always easy, yet it lives innately in every woman. What would change if you allowed yourself to enjoy it completely, squeezing the fruit and drinking its sweetness without holding back? To surrender and dive into an ocean of pleasure: this is not indulgence, it is a deep need waiting to be practised. Come and discover the sweetness of life, and the pure joy of tasting it fully. **Part 3: Own your feminine power: 21st November 11am-1pm** What is it to truly know and own your feminine power? This workshop is about the courage to be happy, which is far bolder than it sounds. The courage to choose your own joy and to stand in the light of what you actually are. The courage to want what you really want, to aim as high as your heart asks, and to arrive. A woman who dares this is a woman who is free. Join us and discover the tantric keys that carry you from knowing your power to living it. **Part 4: See the sacred in the everyday / Wake up to wonder: date TBC** Life can seem like a rollercoaster, so how can we be happy through it all? Happiness is not for the chosen few. It is ours to choose. And when you begin to see the sacredness and the magic in life, everything that comes to you reveals itself as a gift. Life becomes sanctified. Come and rediscover the wonder, and the magic that lives in you and all around you. **What you will gain: ** -Practical tools and techniques Concrete practices you can use from the next morning, not ideas you will admire and forget. \_Nourishing time among women -Four Saturday mornings in a circle where nothing is expected of you, nothing is compared, and nothing has to be performed. For many women this alone is worth the series. -Teaching from women who have walked the path Every teacher at Tara has a minimum of seven years of yogic and tantric training and practice behind them. You are receiving a living tradition from women who have actually lived it, not a summary of a book. _Permission_ To enjoy, to want, to rest, to aim high, to be happy without apologising for it. Sounds small on a page. It is usually what women say changed the most. **Who is it for? ** -You want a life that feels full, not just busy. You are doing everything you are supposed to be doing, and something in you is still asking a bigger question. -You are tired of running on stress. You would like to meet your days with calm instead of adrenaline, and to stop carrying the whole week in your shoulders. -You want practical tools, not theory. Methods you can actually use on a Tuesday morning: at work, at home, in the middle of a difficult conversation. -You want to love the people in your life better. As a friend, a sister, a daughter, a partner, a mother, a colleague. Not by giving more of yourself away, but by having more to give. -You are searching, and you have not found the answers yet. You sense there is a deeper knowledge behind all of this, and you want to meet it in a form you can practise rather than only read about. -You long for the company of women. You are looking for a circle where you can be honest, be seen and be supported, with no competition and nothing to perform. -You are curious, and that is enough. No previous experience of yoga or Tantra is required. No belief is required either. Bring your curiosity and your questions. -You are already working on yourself, and you want to go further and deeper. You read, you reflect, you have done the courses and the apps. Now you want something with real depth behind it, and a practice that keeps giving for years rather than weeks. Join us :) Book via https://tarayogacentre.co.uk/events | |||
| Caring Kink - Transforming Shame into Sexy | Sat, Nov 21, 10:45 AM UTC | Bristol, UK | 3mxkam5gxar22 | Curator | **Transforming Shame into Sexy!: ** To be liberated from our shame is to share and play with it. By exploring edgy degradation or humiliation acts we can find so much joy and pleasure in the play and so much connection. This could include: - Selling ourselves and letting ourselves be big and flamboyant - Expressing our little selves and being coddled and looked after - Different shame edges based on gender conditioning. Eg for men it may be emasculation / sissy play or for women it could be sl\*tting about or removing the beauty mask. - Clothed and unclothed play - it can be very erotic to have one person clothed and the other nearly naked. A little story of my early k1nk development... Between ages 11-15 I was bullied by three girls in maths class. Every time. I had maths three times a week. They would intimidate me, make sexual innuendo remarks, draw on my books and eventually convince me that one of them wanted to meet me behind the bike shed, for a snog. I turned up and no one came. The next maths class was more laughter and ridicule. I used to be ashamed of this. I had many other childhood complexities... this is just one. What happened was interesting... I was very young, impressionable and sensitive. However my survival brain transformed shame into erotic power and I developed kinks around this. I got turned on by similar things and these became fetishes and explorations of female dominance, verbal play, teasing, denial and more. The more I played the more I was liberated from shame. The more I then became joyful and developed a loving attitude to myself and to others. Feel free to msg me questions. No need to bring a partner.

| Buddhist Wisdom for Psychedelic Integration with Will Duncan | Thu, Oct 29, 6:30 PM UTC | – | 3mxkam5irph22 | Curator | We’re grateful to welcome Will Duncan for this special talk and discussion as he shares insights about orienting amidst unstable and disorienting experiences taken from Buddhist insight and the personal experiences from the traditional 3 year Great retreat of Tibetan Buddhism. Buddhist wisdom can offer a powerful framework for understanding and integrating experiences of ego dissolution, deep interconnectedness, and a shifting sense of reality often associated with psychedelic experiences. With Wills humor and unique gift for making deep spiritual wisdom accessible, and practical, we will explore the relavence of Eastern soteriology and consider a secular notion of Buddhist refuge. Come with an open heart and mind as we bridge ancient wisdom with modern experience. ### About Will Duncun  Will Duncan is a Buddhist teacher whose work focuses on integrating traditional Buddhist practices with contemporary life. He has trained extensively in Tibetan Buddhism (Gelugpa lineage) as well as Zen (under Daido Roshi) and in a number of Theravadin lineages (Goenka, Mahasi, Insight). His approach blends these traditional teachings with insights from Christian and Yogic traditions, creating a unique and inclusive path. He has taught throughout the world including Asia, Europe, Eastern Europe, South America and throughout the United States. He has worked as a hospice chaplain and presently is a lecturer, meditation teacher, consultant, and lavender farmer. Will completed the traditional three year Great Retreat of Tibetan Buddhism, having spent four accumulative years in silent and solitary meditation retreat since he began his practice 40 years ago. Known for his non-dogmatic, down-to-earth, humor and ease, Will teaches by way of inquiry and lively discussion pushing students to think clearly for themselves and to uncover their own insights. ## Testimonials "Will is a dynamic and gifted teacher who has the power to transform lives. A truly original thinker Will brings a much needed grounded authenticity and humor to the spiritual path. **Matt Immergut PhD, Associate Professor S.U.N.Y. Purchase** Will Duncan is a Buddhist Badass. He delivers two things simultaneously: entertainment and the possibility of true aim-attainment. If you are looking to make and sustain an inner shift, GO hear him! **Darren Rhodes, Author, Director of YogaOasis, in Tucson, AZ and Founder of YogaHour**. Will Duncan takes on the goal of opening eyes and opening hearts in talks, discussions and teachings on Dharma. He has studied many traditional practices and uses each one to go deeper on the path of awakening. His charm, character and devotion are his tools and consciousness his field. In the end what he reveals is the exquisite beauty of human beings. **Lisa Schrempp, Authorized Level 2 Ashtanga Teacher, Founder of Ashtanga Yoga Tucson** “Will Duncan leaves such a deep impression on my university students. He taps into spiritual essentials in ways that resonate with them regardless of their religious background. At the end of every semester in which he has guest lectured the students course evaluations come back saying that the class he taught was their favorite! " **Karen Borek, PhD, Department of Religious Studies and Classics, University of Arizona** “Thus far, the ultimate highlight was listening to Will Duncan speak. His talk with us made me think of religion as a whole in a way that I had never considered before: that each religion is just trying to get you to wake up to a life filled with joy on a much deeper level than just immediate, sensory pleasing joy. I really enjoyed that it included an approach in consideration of all religions, not just Christianity or Buddhism or any other religion, as it seemed to put an equalizing twist on all religions, as opposed to making any one seem more focused on the aspect of awakening and enlightenment. For me personally, Will’s talk made me think about how I view my own personal spiritual journey as well as how I view the perspective of people who consider themselves to not be on any sort of spiritual journey.” **University of Arizona college student** A true master at mixing charitable laughter and gracious humility, Will Duncan makes the long road of awakening fun and accessible. His deep knowledge of wisdom teachings is matched by the compassion of his wit and candor. Learning with Will is a chance to polish one's suffering with good-hearted humor. **Jay Ruby, Director, The Carpetbag Brigade Physical Theater Company** “Saturday night after Buddhist teacher, Will Duncan’s, talk, I was awake for hours…He was amazing! As he imparts wisdom, Will already exudes that wonderful combination of mental discipline and humorous lightheartedness that I have come to associate with the very best Tibetan teachers.” **Cecily Stranahan – Pastoral Counselor** | |||

De agenda, de gedachten, de ruis. Soms heb je gewoon… natuur nodig. 🌿 Een bosbad – of _Shinrin-yoku_ (森林浴) – is geen wandeling, maar een zachte pauze in het groen. Een begeleide ervaring waarin je vertraagt, ademt, kijkt, heroplaad en de verbinding met natuur en jezelf herstelt. We creëren samen een plek van rust, focus en verbinding. Met eenvoudige uitnodigingen neemt onze gids je stap voor stap mee het landschap in. Uit je hoofd, in je lijf, in het moment 🧘 Je vertrekt niet alleen ontspannen, maar vaak ook lichter, helderder en met een glimlach die nog even blijft hangen.

| The Heart of Winter | Fri, Dec 11, 7:00 PM UTC | Creative Youth Network, Kingswood, Bristol, UK | 3mxkam5v7ol22 | Curator | > **“Dance is the expression of body and heart. 5Rhythms® Heartbeat is an invitation to welcome every emotion, to breathe and move with them, so our heart’s truth and our movement become one dance”** In early life, most of us learned to suppress our emotions so we could fit in, belong, and conform in our family and society. Some emotions were acceptable, others were not. Chances are we have become too numb to parts of our own heart while also getting caught in loops of emotionality or emoting . . . walking around feeling anxious, resentful, depressed. Healthy emotions are raw energy that travels quickly through our system, providing information we can act on . . . fear wakes us up, anger has us set a boundary, sorrow requires us to let go, joy encourages us to celebrate and compassion witnesses it all in neutrality. In our exploration this winter weekend, we will open to the elemental emotional energies and allow them to move, groove, melt, sweat and rock through our system . . . clearing out old debris, quickening our spirits, raising our vibration and increasing our capacity for compassion and love. **This workshop counts as 2.5 days (15 hours) of Heartbeat for those on the 5Rhythms teacher training path** _Please note, if you need to cancel there’s a full refund (minus £30 admin fee) before 20th November 2026.No refunds are available after 20th November 2026._ | |||

| Reiki Level 1 workshop | Sun, Oct 18, 9:30 AM UTC | Anahata Health Clinic, Edward Street, Kemptown, Brighton and Hove, Brighton, UK | 3mxkam65xie22 | Curator | \*Please read details\* This is not a free event - Full fee £288 & For _BeWell_ members £255 Booking is essential through Anahata.

You will learn how to channel universal life force energy through your attuned hands, read and work with your own energy field and psychic senses, and offer Reiki healing to yourself and loved ones. With an ancient lineage behind you and your intuitive gifts activated, you leave this day knowing exactly who you are as a healer. ### Who is this for? Empaths, old souls, and highly sensitive people who have always felt energy but never had a framework for it. Those who have been circling Reiki for months or years, knowing it’s meant for them. Anyone wanting to develop their psychic senses alongside a healing practice, as a foundation, not an add-on. Therapists, coaches, and wellness practitioners ready to add energy healing to their toolkit. No prior experience necessary, just an open heart and a willingness to receive. ### What’s included? Foundation (pre-course online theory module): what Reiki is and how it works, the three levels of the Usui Method, your permanent Reiki Level 1 attunement, the 21-day purification period, the Gokai (Five Reiki Principles), the history of Usui Reiki and your lineage, Gassho meditation and Reiji-Ho technique, the chakras and the eight main clair senses Healing practice (on the day): the 18-position full-body hand sequence, the 13-position self-treatment sequence, Byosen sensing, consent and working principles, aura cleansing and grounding, hands-on practice giving and receiving Reiki, and aftercare guidance. Intuitive gifts (woven throughout): Reiki as a doorway to psychic awakening, the 8 Clairs mapped to Reiki and soul purpose, chakras and soul purpose, Ikigai mapped to the practitioner’s path, and reflection/journal prompts. **Lifetime support:** - a full branded 40+ page student manual, a Reiki Level 1 certificate of completion, a 21-day post-attunement support guide, 20% off a future 1:1 session with Cindy, and lifetime access to The Digital Intuitive Kit: an exclusive 6-module self-study psychic development programme (meditation, grounding, opening your psychic self, meeting your Spirit Guide, sensing subtle energy). ### What makes this course different from other Reiki 1 courses? Most Reiki courses teach hand positions. This one teaches you to think like a healer. Psychic development is taught from day one, the 8 Clairs as foundational tools, not advanced extras. Cindy is a 20th-generation shamanic lineage holder, so this is a living transmission, not a weekend certification. The group is capped at a maximum of 10 students, a sacred container, not a production line. The course is fully accredited (Member of the Complementary Medical Association, internationally recognised certificate), and your learning doesn’t stop on the day, the online theory course remains accessible for life. ## About Cindy Cindy Théodore is a Reiki Master Teacher, Trance Medium, and 20th-generation shamanic lineage holder, trained at the Arthur Findlay College and the College of Psychic Studies. She is the founder of Reiki The People and has over 10 years of experience teaching empaths, old souls, and highly sensitive people to trust the gifts they’ve always carried.

| Caring Kink - Daytime Playtime | Sat, Dec 12, 12:30 PM UTC | Subud hall, Wesley Pl, Clifton, Bristol, UK | 3mxkam67bia22 | Curator | "Play is our brain's favourite way of learning." - Diane Ackerman “The highest form of research is essentially play.” – N. V. Scarfe “The opposite of play is not work. It’s depression.” – Brian Sutton-Smith “Maturity consists in having rediscovered the seriousness one had as a child at play.” – Friedrich Nietzsche “The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct.” – Carl Jung Play is at the heart of every human being, and we don't need to wait until the evening. We can play all day!" - Neil Morbey **YOU CAN COME SOLO, OR WITH A PARTNER, NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE OR PARTNER NECESSARY. WE AIM TO MAKE A SAFE, PLAYFUL SPACE FOR YOU TO EXPLORE** **Daytime playtime is a space for you to touch, play, relax and bring out your kinky parts (within boundaries), utilising the skills that you our community have acquired through the Caring Kink workshops. ** In the daytime playtime we will have a short 90 minute workshop at the start, leaving the remaining 4 hrs for free play. We will have capacity for 120 people. **ALL WELCOME. ** It's ok if you've never been to a kinky workshop or if you're a seasoned pro. The workshop will help us all get on the same page to bring in care, consent and connection into our play. Remember too that 'play' can look like ANYTHING, including cuddling, chatting, rambunctious dancing, slow sensual connection, dark BDSM exploration, shame play, tying and holding, giggling... there isn't a 'right' way to play, except that we ask you to bring in care, consent and connection into everything you do. We will have a big community of people who have been to the workshops before, but even if you haven't been before that's ok - we can all help each other to **play in a caring kink way.** **No Late Entry after 1pm** The space will be open from 12:30pm, the workshop will begin at 1pm, when we will close the doors to anyone , so DON'T BE LATE. **Boundaries of Play** This is a pants on play space (for now). No touching or revealing of genitals or anus. The reason is I want to encourage all types of sensual, creative, connecting and kinky play, but without rushing to genital based sex. Nothing wrong with sex, I love it. I just want to slow us down and be together for a little longer, so other parts of us get to be explored. I also am not ready to hold a space that has full sex as things become increasingly complex. **Clothing** Arrive in simple comfy clothing for the workshop. We will change after the workshop in the transition to free play. Feel free to wear anything that makes you feel sexy and happy. This is often an area we get a lot of questions. Rest assured you can come as you are. I suggest bringing a variety of clothing. This isn't a high fashion finest leather, latex and high heels style event - this is more about connection. BEST ADVICE: WEAR WHAT FEELS GOOD TO YOU **What else is there?** **Two play rooms: ** As you arrive you'll be in the hallway with stairs leading up and down. Please deposit your shoes here and then put bags in the Hall of Hedonism, on your left. - **Hall of Hedonism:** On the ground floor we will have music and equipment so you can dance and go wild. - **Velet underground** : Downstairs there will be lots of soft mattresses and a big table of toys so you can explore in a more sensual way. - **De-Stimulation room: ** upstairs for when things get a little much. **Play bus stops: ** Each room has some chairs which you can sit at if you are waiting to play with someone. This allows other people to come along and pick you up. **Shared food:** Please bring something to add to the food table, ideally with a label of ingredients to cater for all needs. **Space monitors: ** We will have a team of people taking shifts to monitor the space to help make it safer. If you need a little extra support, feel free to ask one of them and at the same time they're not here as therapists just to keep things flowing. **Timings** **12:30pm** : Arrive and mingle **1pm** : Opening Workshop, closing the container (no entry after this point) **2:30pm ** At the end of the workshop there'll be a pause to change your clothing into something more fun and a little game and a dance to help us step into free play **6:30pm:** Free play ends with a little closing circle. **7pm: ** Participants clear the venue | |||

| KAP Kundalini Activation - Group Session | Sun, Nov 29, 2:00 PM UTC | Stroud Yoga Space & Shop, Nelson Street, Stroud, UK | 3mxkam6cdk722 | Curator | **WHAT IS KUNDALINI ACTIVATION?** Kundalini Activation is a direct transmission of Life Force energy through the Kundalini Channels, promoting profound personal transformation. During a session, participants lie on yoga mats while the facilitator channels energy on and off the body working on chakra and meridian points. Accompanied by a musical journey, this process can awakens the entire light body, helping individuals embody their spiritual essence and activate its capacity to be an entire field of conscious awareness. .jpg) This practice facilitates access to deeper brainwave states, enabling the brain and nervous system to rewire and integrate new levels of awareness. Participants may experience spontaneous movements (kriyas), emotional releases, energetic sensations, third-eye activations, unity states, and shifts in consciousness. However, the true value lies in the lasting transformation participants experience in their lives after the session. Kundalini Activation is a safe, natural process using a gentle flowing downward-flowing energy. It unfolds through the practice of surrender and readiness, meeting each individual where they are. **Why Do Kundalini Activation?** Kundalini Activation is a transformative practice that unlocks profound physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual benefits, it helps you access deeper states of awareness and live more fully aligned with your true self. Here are some key reasons to explore Kundalini Activation: - **Transformation:** Release suppressed energy and clear emotional blockages to create space for growth and healing. - **Heightened Awareness:** Expand your consciousness, access unity states, and deepen your understanding of yourself and the world. - **Energetic Alignment:** Activate and balance your chakra system, awakening your full light body for enhanced energy flow. - **Mental Clarity and Focus:** Rewire your brain and nervous system to reduce mental clutter and enhance clarity, creativity, and intuition. - **Emotional Breakthroughs:** Liberate trapped emotions, foster resilience, and cultivate a sense of inner peace. - **Spiritual Embodiment:** Strengthen your connection to your higher self and integrate spiritual awareness into daily life. - **Personal Growth:** Overcome limiting beliefs, align with your highest potential, and make empowered, confident decisions. - **Life Transformation:** Experience lasting improvements in relationships, career, health, and overall purpose by aligning with your true essence. - **Deepened Spiritual Connection:** Access an energy beyond the personal self, creating a space to transcend ego and connect with the divine.  **Kundalini Activation is more than a single session—it’s an ongoing journey toward authenticity, freedom, and awareness** Kundalini Activation offers holistic transformation across physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions. Participants frequently report heightened energy, mental clarity, emotional breakthroughs, and deeper connections with themselves and others. Other benefits include reduced stress, emotional balance, enhanced intuition, blissful states, and expanded consciousness. This process purifies, awakens, and aligns participants with their highest potential, fostering positive changes in health, relationships, work, and overall clarity in life. **Frequent Asked Questions ** **Do I need any experience to join a class?** No prior experience is necessary Kundalini activation classes are open to individuals from all backgrounds and walks of life, and there is no requirement to have any prior training in yoga, meditation, or energy work. What truly matters is approaching the class with an open mind and a belief in the existence of energy beyond one’s self. **Who shouldn’t do the Kundalini Activation process?** This transmission of Kundalini energy is not recommended for those prone to mania, delusion or psychosis. As this process will expand your capacity to feel, you will have to be able to handle the emotional process in between sessions. If this is too difficult to handle on your own, we recommend you not to continue with the sessions. **I am depressed/anxious, can I still attend a class?** Yes. Many participants report that Kundalini activation helped them with their anxiety/depression. Just be aware that if you’re on antidepressant medication, there’s a possibility that you could be less sensitive to the energy. **I am pregnant, can I still attend a class?** If you are pregnant and in your third trimester we recommend you to wait until after birth to continue with the transmissions. Before the third trimester (7-9 months) it is ok to attend as long as you are feeling well and can, without problems, participate in activities such as gym activities or yoga, for example. Always let your facilitator know that you are pregnant before a Kundalini activation session. **I have had a Kundalini Awakening, is this Kundalini transmission appropriate for me?** Experiencing a Kundalini Awakening can deeply alter one’s consciousness and energy dynamics. The intensity of these changes may be overwhelming leading the energy to retreat and become dormant once again. This Kundalini activation process can provide valuable support following an awakening, aiding in the upgrade of the body and energy pathways, teaching the system how to accommodate higher light frequencies and manage the increased energy flow with greater ease. %20(2).jpg) [**WWW.KUNDALINI-ACTIVATION.CO.UK**](https://kundalini-activation.co.uk/) **@** [**kap\_clara**](https://www.instagram.com/kap_clara_uk/)\_uk Clara has spent the last 15 years immersed in self-discovery and healing through spiritual practice, tantra, and embodiment.

DE-E is focused on helping people connect with themselves and each other by creating spaces where people feel safe to drop into their authentic selves. He believes that by creating spaces with various connection-based activities, in a held environment, it gives people the chance to explore and ask for their desires and to query their past stories and traumas to see what still serves and what it is time to ‘thank’ and let go of to embrace a new way of being. DE-E's aim is to both follow for himself, and facilitate for others, a journey of continuous learning, exploring boundaries, and pushing beyond them in a contained way to achieve emotional, physical, and relational growth.

| skein weekender | Fri, Nov 6, 5:30 PM UTC | Paddington Farm, Maiden Croft Lane, Wick, Glastonbury, UK | 3mxkam6vjkh22 | Curator | ### Ever wondered what might happen if you immerse in a shared alchemical cloud of story, for two full days? Find out by joining Poet-facilitators [Tom Hirons](http://www.tomhirons.com) and [Rozi Hilton](http://www.believethebird.com) on a Somerset Weekend - for **a residential laboratory of holographic collaboration. ** A deep-dive community-connection experience, in which you'll participate-in and contribute-to an emergent selection of revelations - into a field of juxtaposition. This is our most extended opportunity so far, to marinade in our '_ **Council of the Imagination** _', and stretch it into realms beyond workshop, as we play together with the duration, inspiration, and landscapes of sharing. Skein is a ceremonial circle of images and associations, collectively driven - which will venture into many mysterious territories over the course of a long weekend, as we drop deeply into a **semi-psychedelic crucible** ; like a shared dream... Expect to surrender, as synapses make deer-leaps and the crackling centre becomes something numinous… > “Half Quaker meeting, half dreamtime, and yet another half nonperformative performance. Entirely enchanting, beautiful and bizarre - like a waking sleep”. > > "Skein is a fractal, fragmented dreamscape of communal storytelling away from the posture and performance of Storytelling as we have come to know it in a modern age. Tom & Rozi open a democratic and non-hierarchical field for people to know themselves and each other in new and vibrant ways. Sensitively and delicately held, skein is a tender and beautiful technology for weaving an alive sense of what’s in the room, with all contributions equally valued and witnessed.. > > It was amazing to watch as people became more and more emboldened through the process. I experienced inter-realm travel and also an absolute time warp; two hours went by in twenty minutes. As it finished I longed to go on to discover new layers of those in the room as well as of the field itself." > > _“When can we do that again?! So much appreciation for the experience you created. The ripples have been powerful, subtle and transformative.. I feel stirred and moved, shaken but also stilled in some way. It was like a conversation of our hearts and imaginations, not a performance but a way to connect in how I want to be seen and bring myself more into this group, the me I know but I don't think others see. The result? .. I discovered something... We found our heart here.”_ #### #### WHO IS THIS FOR? You do not have to be a storyteller or have any experience of performing, and there is no need to have any material prepared. However, there will be an expectation to participate, which will involve some public-speaking - however fractured or imperfect it comes out! The venue does have a twisting staircase up to the group room. Sadly there is not another more accessible route to the upstairs workshop-space, so regrettably we would recommend a level of mobility which makes this possible. #### WHAT TO EXPECT? Skein is a practice that Tom and Rozi have been honing over the last few years - it involves a group of people responding to a seed image with a stream of resonant images or recollections. In practical terms, this means that the participants respond to prompts (perhaps story, perhaps poetry, perhaps dream fragments themselves) with short recollections or images, before yielding in turn to another offering. Through successive rounds of provocation, a field is generated. We'll be exploring skeins with different forms and themes, playing games that encourage us to enter into imaginative flow-states, and allowing the magic of skein to encounter one another in non-ordinary ways. If that still sounds baffling - [here's Tom](https://vimeo.com/feralangelspress/skein-what-is-it)doing his best to describe the experience. #### WHERE AND WHEN? [Paddington Farm](https://paddingtonfarm.co.uk/accommodation/the-farmhouse/) Farmhouse is based on a 43-acre organic farm at the foot of Glastonbury Tor - A larger project with aims to encourage engagement with organic food and farming, environmental awareness and responsibility, and a lifelong respect for the countryside. It's just 30minutes East of Bridgwater on the m5, or 1 hour South of Bristol - [https://maps.app.goo.gl/V8TCn6b2ZrctBRig9](https://maps.app.goo.gl/V8TCn6b2ZrctBRig9) - close to Glastonbury town, but public transport is rather involved, so do let us know if you'd need a lift share and we'll see what we can do!   #### WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? Both skilled space-holders, with years of experience - Rozi Hilton and Tom Hirons form [Feral Angels Events](https://preview.mailerlite.io/emails/webview/160405/190810524906161587); a venture designing and hosting workshops for writers interested in honesty, beauty, and edge; and **a haven for poets who don't recognise themselves among the 'literati' and the generally-accepted canon.** We write, seek-out, and encourage intrepid eloquence, truth-telling, and authentic expression; aiming to provoke duende, calibrate souls toward the Green-Pulse, and incite action for a world on fire. We like raw words, revelation, mythopoetic image, and none of the bravado or elitism that puts a veil over resonant-transmission.  #### DETAILS We have three base prices, for each participant to choose from. If you're not sure which category to select, then do take a look below - (If you find yourself sounding most like jar 4 ‘living in the ruins’ and still desperate to come then please [send us an email](mailto:rozi@believethebird.com)and we'll see what we can do to make it possible for you to attend). **Note: once you've selected a ticket price, you also need to select a sleeping option - at an extra cost, depending on your budget and willingness to share.** If you don't stay on site with us there are plenty of accommodations in the Glastonbury area, and you can simply join from morning to evening.  #### FOOD We will cater for ourselves as a group - with each person preparing food once; so we are asking each of you to bring the ingredients to prepare a dish which could constitute half a meal for a group of 15 _(eg your trademark pasta salad; granny's special chilli; fallback roasted vegetables etc…). _ We will pair-up the dishes and work together in the kitchen to manifest a magical menu, supplemented by breakfast, snacks, and basic kitchen staples. #### This is going to be a fun, quirky, magical, unreal, few days of connection and co-exploration. A cosy opportunity to hunker down and open-up; in a homely setting without a lot of luxury or glamour. We'll laugh a lot, and probably cry frequently, and form friendships by learning about each other - as well as touching into realms beyond our conventional reality. Do heed the call if you're someone feeling the tug… the circle assembles! | |||
| The Cuddle Lounge | Sun, Oct 18, 9:30 AM UTC | Chyan Cultural Centre, Penryn, UK | 3mxkam7dosa22 | Curator | The Cuddle Lounge is a guided, welcoming space to gather and share in **platonic intimacy** for the sake of **nourishment, rest, joy, and heartfelt connection**. We aim for this to be a safe enough space for people to bring whatever they may be holding and simply be themselves. Authenticity is welcomed and celebrated. We invite you to come and rest in the softness of intentional intimacy. In her book _Belonging: Remembering Ourselves Home_, Toko-pa Turner writes, > _“Longing is the dynamic element of belonging, which, if we're clever enough to follow, will bring us into reunion withe the life we're meant to be living.”_ One of the most ancient and primal human desires is the desire to belong. How do we share in the reciprocity of care and love in ways that speak to this innate yearning? How do we nurture the need for belonging in our communities? We believe that one way this can happen is by expanding relational and physical intimacy outside of our romantic partnerships and experiencing how this unfolding of closeness and deep connection can strengthen our sense of belonging, to ourselves, each other, and the earth. **This is a guided, trauma-informed space where everyone is invited to move at their own pace.** For some this may involve touch and physical holding, while others may be comfortable with the emotional and relational intimacy they experience. The invitation is to participate in exercises and practices that feel right for you, **with no pressure or expectation**. Witnessing can be a powerful way to learn about our desires and needs. If you’re new to these types of spaces, you are very welcome. #### **What does it look like?** The afternoon will begin with an **opening circle** where we can welcome one another, speak our agreements, and drop into the space together. Our time will include **gentle embodiment practices** , emphasising the intelligence of body as an important aspect of desire and intimacy. We’ll focus on **consent, boundaries, and communication** to establish a field of safety and care. The group will then be guided through **small group and paired connection practices**. Before our closing circle, we will have free time where you are invited to follow your own desires for platonic connection and intimacy, or rest/move/be with yourself. #### **What this is not:** - A space for sexual connection. Instead this is an opportunity to explore how we can meet one another in meaningful and intimate ways and lean into desire without it needing to turn sexual. - A space to process unresolved trauma around touch and intimacy. If this is something you are struggling with, please reach out and we can signpost you to the appropriate support. - A space to ignore people's boundaries. Consent is a central aspect of this event. #### **What to bring:** - Pillows are provided but you may want to bring some extra of your favourite squishy things, sheepskins, blankets, etc - Comfy clothes that you can move around in #### **Other details:** We will be in the Sky Barn at Chyan Cultural Centre TR10 9BT **You are welcome to arrive early from 10:15am so you have time to settle into the space before we open the circle promptly at 10:30am. To protect the integrity of the group, we will close the doors at 10:45am.** ### Feedback “Cuddle Lounge has been an encouraging support for me as I navigate tumultuous times and identity reshaping, including getting serious about what intimacy means to me, and how I want to move through the world now. I can't overstate the impact of Cuddle Lounge on my richer and more present interactions with daily life and the whole world around me, and there is no-one I wouldn't recommend this to.” – J “I come away from the Cuddle Lounge feeling completely at peace, nurtured and loved. Guy and Fiona create a powerful sanctuary- like space for warmth, compassion and kindness to guide this experience. I didn't know how much I would cherish this until I had experienced it!” – Eden “As someone completely new to this kind of experience, I arrived feeling a little nervous and unsure of what to expect, but Guy and Fiona immediately put me at ease. By the end of the workshop I felt deeply relaxed, grounded in my body, and connected to my heart. I left feeling more in touch with my own needs and boundaries while also feeling deeply connected to the other awesome humans in the group.” – Rosie ### Refunds We cannot issue refunds but you are welcome to give your spot to a friend (please let us know who) or transfer your spot to the next Cuddle Lounge. ### **Facilitators** Guy and Fiona are on a mission to change the ways we think and feel about intimacy, starting by getting curious about the conditioned relational scripts we find ourselves playing out. Having been on their own journey of expanding intimacy beyond their partnership in ways that challenge the norm, they believe that the more we allow our authentic truth to be deeply seen and felt by others, the more capacity we have in our hearts for love, and the greater our sense of belonging. Fiona is an artist, singer, and devotee of spirit. Find her on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/fionabpoole/?hl=en). Guy is a dream weaver and an intuitive type, with a love for depth psychology. **If you are curious about this event and have any questions at all, please email Fiona at ** [**fionabradleypoole@gmail.com**](mailto:fionabradleypoole@gmail.com) **.**  | |||
| Rewiring the Brain: Psychedelics, Neuroplasticity & the Windows of Change with Tommaso Barba | Wed, Oct 28, 7:00 PM UTC | – | 3mxkam7ogpl22 | Curator | # Rewiring the Brain: Psychedelics, Neuroplasticity & the Windows of Change with Tommaso Barba #### What if a single psychedelic experience could return your brain to the same malleable state it was in when you were a child and what could you do with that window? ### About For decades, the dominant view in neuroscience was that the adult brain is largely fixed — that the openness to change we experience in childhood eventually closes, and we become, to a significant degree, locked into our patterns. The emerging science of psychedelics is beginning to overturn that assumption. Research now suggests that psychedelics such as psilocybin may temporarily reopen what scientists call a "critical window" of neuroplasticity , a period when the brain becomes unusually malleable, forming new connections, softening rigid thought patterns, and becoming far more receptive to change. But the window doesn't work alone. What happens during and after it (the set, the setting, the integration) may matter as much as the molecule itself. Understanding this mechanism opens up profound questions about how we heal, how we change, and what it means to truly rewire the brain. This talk will also offer practical guidance on how to best prepare for and follow up after a psychedelic experience, with a particular focus on supporting your nervous system before, during, and after. Join us for an online talk with Tommaso Barba, PhD researcher at the Centre for Psychedelic Research at Imperial College London, as he unpacks the neuroscience behind this emerging model and what it means for the future of mental health treatment. The talk will be followed by a live audience Q&A. ### What we'll explore - What neuroplasticity is and why it matters for mental health and behaviour change - The neuroscience of "critical periods" and the evidence that psychedelics can reopen them in the adult brain - How psychedelics promote the growth of new neural connections and why this may drive lasting therapeutic change - Why timing matters: what the brain's heightened plasticity window means for preparation, integration, and the weeks after a psychedelic experience - Practical guidance on how to prepare for and follow up after a psychedelic experience, including how to support your nervous system before, during, and after - One session or two? What the latest research says about dose frequency and therapeutic outcomes - The broader implications for depression, addiction, trauma, and the future of psychedelic-assisted therapy - Open questions at the frontier: what we still don't know, and where the research is heading ⚠️ Please note: This is an educational event. No medical or clinical advice can be given during this session. Can't attend the live event? No problem - all ticket holders will get access to the recording within 48 hours of the event. ### Your Speaker  Tommaso Barba is a PhD candidate at the Centre for Psychedelic Research, Imperial College London, supervised by Dr. David Erritzoe and Prof. David Nutt. His research currently centers on the brain effects of short-acting psychedelics such as DMT and 5-MeO-DMT, conducting the first neuroimaging trials of these compounds in laboratory settings with Dr Chris Timmermann. Tommaso's interests include the impact of psychedelics and MDMA on couples' intimacy, advocating for their potential in improving couples' connection within therapeutic settings. He also focuses on the role of psychedelics in treating depression and enhancing well-being. Tommaso has co-authored over ten scientific papers, including five as the first author, in journals such as The Lancet EClinical Medicine and Nature Scientific Reports. This work has been widely recognised and covered by prominent media outlets, including Forbes USA, The Times, The Telegraph, Rolling Stone, and CNN. Additionally, Tommaso collaborates with universities and startups in Italy and the USA. ### Your Organiser  Ryan is the Online Events Coordinator for The Psychedelic Society and a life-long psychedelic enthusiast. He is completing his MSc in Psychedelics: Mind, Medicine & Culture at The University of Exeter where he specialised in the extra-pharmacological factors affecting psychedelic assisted therapy. Ryan also sits at the intersection of psychedelic research, education and therapy. He works as a Research Associate at Pneuma Science, Consultant at Psilonautica and Communications & Partnerships Associate at Beautiful Space.

| Boundaries As Medicine - 4 Week Deep Dive Course | Wed, Oct 14, 6:00 PM UTC | Totnes Natural Health Centre, The Plains, Totnes, UK | 3mxkam7tjzo22 | Curator | # Boundaries As Medicine ### A 4-week embodied journey into knowing, standing in, and living your truth ### with Joy Mittens _Each inauthentic "yes" builds a wall between you and True Intimacy._ * * * Somewhere along the way, most of us learned to override ourselves. To smile when we meant no. To say yes and feel our stomach drop. To stay quiet rather than risk someone else's disappointment. This course is about coming home from that. It's about carving out the space in the world that your soul needs to flower. **Boundaries As Medicine** is a 4-week container for learning somatically in your body how to know what's true for you moment to moment, how to stand in it without apology, and how to practise it in the mess and speed of real life. No more guessing. No more people-pleasing. No more crossing your own line because you're afraid of someone else's pain, even when it's someone you love. This puts the power back where it belongs - in you. You don't need everyone else to have done a workshop for your boundaries to hold. You just need to feel them, and know in your bones how important it is to stand up for them. <oembed url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RygS9vZRBxE&list=PL5xZhEyooCkSlyhzpOTU__9NYspczbrpk"></oembed> ### ## The Journey: **Step 1 — Knowing your own boundaries** Before you can hold a boundary, you have to be able to feel it. We slow everything down so you can start noticing, in real time, what's a yes, what's a no, and what's a "not sure yet." You'll learn to check in with your four centres: mind, heart, belly, and sex - and build real reference points for what authentic and inauthentic yeses and nos actually feel like in the body. **Step 2 — Standing up for them** Knowing isn't enough if you can't speak it. This is where we work with the discomfort of disappointing someone, the fear underneath people-pleasing, and what it actually takes to say a clean “no” and hold it, even when someone else's reaction gets loud, sad, or manipulative. We'll look at how to spot bullying, seduction, and guilt-tripping for what they are, and how to meet rejection - giving and receiving it - with compassion instead of collapse. **Step 3 — Practice** The impact of this course being over 4 weeks is that you can take these tools into your actual life - your family, your work, your relationships, your bed - and building the muscle through repetition, homework assignments, and the support of a group who's in it with you. * * * ## Guest Facilitator - Emily Martin .jpg) Emily will be joining us in week two to bring her expertise on Betty Martin's Wheel of Consent. More information coming soon. * * * ## What We'll Explore - Getting in touch with your body, and listening moment to moment to what it's telling you - Energetic boundaries: feeling the effect of someone entering your energetic field, long before there's any touch - The Wheel of Consent: the real difference between serving and taking, accepting and allowing - Getting in touch with your anger, safely and healthily - because this is where solid boundaries actually come from - Resisting manipulation: recognising the bully, the seducer, and the guilt-tripper, in others and in yourself - Where you struggle to notice your own edges, and where you struggle to hold them once you do _Boundaries aren't about keeping others out - they are the living membrane of the truth of who you are._ * * * ## The Container - **4 sessions, 4 consecutive Wednesdays** , 7–10pm - **14th, 21st, 28th October & 4th November** - **Totnes Natural Health Centre** - A guest facilitator trained in **Betty Martin's Wheel of Consent** joins us for one session - Homework between sessions to bring the practice into daily life - A **private online group** to share your experience and support each other through the month This is a small, intimate group by design - expect real practice, not a lecture. * * * ## This Is For You If... - You find it hard to say no, or to know what you even want - You override your own needs to keep the peace - You want stronger, clearer boundaries for intimacy, sacred sexuality, or Temple spaces - You're tired of consent culture that puts all the weight on _asking and checking_, and want to feel your own power instead - You're ready to meet your anger, your fear, and your yes in your body * * * _The space you create by saying "no" is where your soul expands into its fullest expression._ Let's move beyond performative consent and into embodied power. **Learn the tools to feel, speak, and honour your truth.** | |||

| Kundalini Yoga & Meditation Thursday Night Weekly Group Class | Thu, Aug 13, 6:00 PM UTC | – | 3mxkam7zvxp22 | Curator | #### What is Kundalini Yoga & Meditation?

KY is a very powerful tool with some students seeing profound changes after just a few classes. KY classes draw from a huge range of kriyas, each designed to strengthen a particular aspect of the mind and body. Different kriyas will target the glandular, immune, lymphatic and nervous systems. KY has been shown to be effective in treating depression, anxiety and physical pain. **Structure of the class:** - at the start of each class we 'tune in' by chanting [Adi Mantra](https://www.sikhdharma.org/the-adi-mantra/) and [Mangalacharan Mantra](https://www.sikhdharma.org/mangala-charan-mantra-protection/) (listen to musical versions here: [Itunes](https://www.shazam.com/track/226556178/tune-in-adi-mantra-and-mangalacharan-mantra) & [Spotify)](https://open.spotify.com/track/3cUrHGTFYmADS7zGsucfIU) [- t](https://open.spotify.com/track/3cUrHGTFYmADS7zGsucfIU)he class continues with 1hour of exercise (kriya), - then a deep relaxation and - finally a meditation.

| Kundalini Activation PRISM™ | Return of the Light: The Rebirth | Sun, Dec 20, 3:30 PM UTC | Luv Yourself Space, Hoy Street, London, UK | 3mxkamaes4m22 | Curator | This is not another class. This is an experience of pure energy. You know that feeling when you snap at your kids and then feel terrible? When you lie in bed exhausted but cannot switch off? When you keep waiting for life to feel different but nothing seems to shift? When you want a new job, a better relationship, more clarity, more joy, but you cannot seem to get out of your own way? That is not a personality problem. That is stuck energy. I am Natalia, founder of Luv Yourself Space and creator of the PRISM™ Method, an internationally accredited approach to Kundalini Activation, Breathwork and Non-Duality recognised by IPHM, the International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine. My work weaves Kundalini Activation, breathwork, somatic healing and non-dual presence to awaken what already lives inside you. I trained directly with Venant Wong in KAP Level 2 and with Serena Olsen and Pi Villaraza in Innerdance, the roots of KAP itself. I am also a certified breathwork facilitator. But instead of repeating a method I chose the path of freedom. In my space every person does not step into a new cage. They step into their own power. This is not woo woo. This is science meeting energy. And it works. **What to expect:** Depending on the session, you will - experience conscious connected breathwork to shift your state fast - a safe natural activation of your Kundalini energy - release of emotional physical and energetic blocks - a shift from mind chatter into deep presence - heightened awareness and a sense of inner power - and integration that continues long after the session ends. You do not need any experience. You simply need to allow yourself to be present and let the energy move. **Why people come:** - To stop screaming at their kids and actually enjoy them. - To finally feel something shift in a relationship that has felt stuck for years. - To find the clarity to make the career change they have been avoiding. - To feel lighter in their own body. - To wake up and actually want to get out of bed. - To break free from the old version of themselves they have outgrown. Spaces are limited. Book now and let your energy rise. With luv, Natalia _PRISM™ is the only Kundalini Activation method with independent scientific validation through EEG brain mapping and IPHM accreditation. The research has been accepted for presentation at an international conference for psychology and neuroscience in Washington, with further conferences in London, Oxford and Austria._ | |||
| Breathwork Session | Return of the Light: The Rebirth | Sun, Dec 20, 1:00 PM UTC | Luv Yourself Space, Hoy Street, London, UK | 3mxkamafv7r22 | Curator | Your breath was the first thing you did when you arrived on this Earth. And it has been with you every single moment since. Yet most of us have forgotten how to actually use it. You know that feeling when your chest is permanently tight and you cannot remember the last time you took a proper deep breath? When anxiety wakes you up at 3am and your mind will not stop? When you are so burned out you cannot feel anything anymore, not joy, not excitement, not even rest? When you have tried therapy, journaling, meditation, and something still feels stuck? That is your nervous system asking for something different. Breathwork is one of the most direct and powerful ways to shift how you feel. Not because it is complicated. Because the breath responds immediately. One session can move what has been sitting in your body for months, sometimes years. I am Natalia, founder of Luv Yourself Space and creator of the PRISM™ Method, an internationally accredited approach to breathwork, Kundalini Activation and Non-Duality recognised by IPHM, the International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine. This is not woo woo. This is science meeting energy. During a session we move through conscious connected breathing with somatic awareness and nervous system attunement. No pushing, no forcing. Just a return to what has always been yours. Optional energy work may be introduced when the body calls for it, always with care and presence. **Why people come:** - To finally sleep properly after months of lying awake with a racing mind. - To release the grief, anger or sadness they have been carrying around for so long it started to feel normal. - To feel present with their children instead of just going through the motions. - To get off antidepressants with proper support and a natural alternative. - To stop the constant mental chatter and feel some peace. - To reconnect with their body after trauma, burnout or a season of just surviving. - To feel something again after feeling numb for too long. **What you may experience:** More clarity and presence. Deeper rest and renewed energy. Emotional release and softness. A nervous system that finally stops bracing. Heightened intuition and inner alignment. You do not need any experience. Breath is not something you need to learn. It is something you remember. Come as you are. Your breath will guide the rest. With luv, Natalia _PRISM™ Method is accredited by IPHM.

| Whole: a new moon ceremony of voice, sound and Kundalini Activation | Sun, Nov 8, 5:00 PM UTC | Luv Yourself Space, Hoy Street, London, UK | 3mxkamanzkh22 | Curator | November has a particular quality to it ⚫️ The clocks go back. The light disappears faster than you expect. Something in the body wants to slow down, go inward, release what the year has been carrying. That is not accident. That is ancient. Every tradition across every culture marked this time as a threshold. A moment between worlds. A chance to let what is finished finally finish, and to feel what wants to be born in the dark before winter arrives. 📆 On 8th November, under the new moon, we are holding a ceremony for exactly that. Whole: a new moon ceremony of voice, sound and Kundalini Activation ⚫️ The evening moves in three parts. 🌑 First your voice. Ruben leads a journey into frequency and vibration. Not singing. Not performance. Your natural voice, finding its own resonance, releasing what words cannot reach. This is one of the most unexpectedly powerful things a human being can do. 🌑 Then something that does not happen often. Kundalini Activation held by Natalia, flowing live with Rubén's music in real time 💫 Not a playlist. Not a recording. Live tribal instruments, live voice, live sound responding to what is happening in the room as the energy moves.

| Breathwork Session | Full Moon Ancestral Medicine | Sat, Oct 24, 5:00 PM UTC | Luv Yourself Space, Hoy Street, London, UK | 3mxkamap5yo22 | Curator | Your breath was the first thing you did when you arrived on this Earth. And it has been with you every single moment since. Yet most of us have forgotten how to actually use it. You know that feeling when your chest is permanently tight and you cannot remember the last time you took a proper deep breath? When anxiety wakes you up at 3am and your mind will not stop? When you are so burned out you cannot feel anything anymore, not joy, not excitement, not even rest? When you have tried therapy, journaling, meditation, and something still feels stuck? That is your nervous system asking for something different. Breathwork is one of the most direct and powerful ways to shift how you feel. Not because it is complicated. Because the breath responds immediately. One session can move what has been sitting in your body for months, sometimes years. I am Natalia, founder of Luv Yourself Space and creator of the PRISM™ Method, an internationally accredited approach to breathwork, Kundalini Activation and Non-Duality recognised by IPHM, the International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine. This is not woo woo. This is science meeting energy. During a session we move through conscious connected breathing with somatic awareness and nervous system attunement. No pushing, no forcing. Just a return to what has always been yours. Optional energy work may be introduced when the body calls for it, always with care and presence. **Why people come:** - To finally sleep properly after months of lying awake with a racing mind. - To release the grief, anger or sadness they have been carrying around for so long it started to feel normal. - To feel present with their children instead of just going through the motions. - To get off antidepressants with proper support and a natural alternative. - To stop the constant mental chatter and feel some peace. - To reconnect with their body after trauma, burnout or a season of just surviving. - To feel something again after feeling numb for too long. **What you may experience:** More clarity and presence. Deeper rest and renewed energy. Emotional release and softness. A nervous system that finally stops bracing. Heightened intuition and inner alignment. You do not need any experience. Breath is not something you need to learn. It is something you remember. Come as you are. Your breath will guide the rest. With luv, Natalia _PRISM™ Method is accredited by IPHM. Natalia Bareikis is a registered IPHM practitioner._ | |||
