| Conscious Relationship Weekend Workshop For Singles & Couples | Fri, Nov 20, 11:30 PM UTC | The Riverdell Spiritual Centre, Clifford Road, Hillier SA, Australia | 3mxkanextlg22 | Curator | Break the pattern of avoidant and anxious for conscious singles and couples and discover your dance with the divine masculine and feminine. _"The Conscious Relationship 2 days workshop with Jess was amazing. I feel so much lighter, happier and so much more sure of myself. Jess is a beautiful person who supported me through the workshop exercises. I felt safe to let go and completely be there for myself."_ Pauline _"I attended the Conscious Relationship Workshop. It’s my second workshop facilitated by Jess. I am honoured to have received Jess’ spiritual gifts on both occasions. My limiting beliefs have shifted, which has led to me living more authentically. As a result my interpersonal relationships have improved dramatically. The heart opening sensual ritual and the earth bed ceremony have enabled me to tune into my body and for the first time in my life I feel seen, loved and free! I’m so blessed to have been able to work with Jess. A gazillion thanks Jess."_ Stella _"On the first day I was ashamed of my (sexual) energy and I have learnt it's a source of creativitiy and it can be shared in a beautiful way. I was able to release a lot of shame and on the second day I was able to fill into my joy using the same activities. There was a chance to process old traumas with an ex lover and there was a lot of anger and had no idea how this had affected me in over so many years and to be able to release this that is no longer serving me. On the last day I received a blessing in the love healing chamber to be treated and respected in the divine moment in my sacred masculine."_ Rob Nugen, Connection Coach For Men Are you ready to meet yourself in divine love from the healthy masculine and feminine? This is your invitation to truly embody love from a wholesome place. Let me guide you to your love alchemy as you remove layers of your past experiences of the wounded masculine and feminine from lovers to family members and unlearn distorted beliefs from the patriarchy around your body, sexuality and desires to align yourself to your truth of love and pleasure.

Together, we will experience the restorative and healing power of the nature using a variety of tools, guides and techniques drawing from paganism, Buddhism and psychedelic perspectives on the natural world and your place within in it.

| Kundalini Activation Exeter at Exeter Yoga Workshop | Sun, Dec 13, 2:30 PM UTC | Exeter Yoga Workshop, King Street, Exeter, UK | 3mxkanhs5gz22 | Curator | Juliet Leonard is the south west & Birmingham's only Kundalini Activation Process facilitator. Also known as Life Force Activation, she is a guide for Kundalini and Non dual states of consciousness through transmission. This is a powerful transmission of raw kundalini and non dual consciousness to raise your own frequency, clear negative energies held in your energetic body, dissolve mistaken belief systems and habits that no longer serve you and ultimately raise your own Kundalini Energy and awaken to Consciousness. KAP is a direct energy transmission of Raw Kundalini and non dual states of Consciousness. This is a downward descending energy that clears and cleans your energetic field through your chakras. It raises your frequency so that negative energies are forced to detach and be processed. The energy stirred is your own life force energy which in turn may activate your own Kundalini awakening process. This is a physical experience of energetic movement within your physical body. Meaning that your physical body will respond in cathartic release or kriya (movements or changes caused by a spiritual practice) that can be seen and felt. It feels amazing and natural. Please see videos for examples of people in process. This video explains more…. <oembed url="https://youtu.be/HTeyzPokCuk"></oembed> Like reiki and healing modalities, KAP is received passively by the recipient with no skills or experience required. KAP is not part of a religion and requires no faith at all to work. Shakti energy is very much present in this transmission, therefore it has an innate intelligence to provide the upgrades only right for the person at that time of their lives and conditions. It will never give any more or less than the person needs. You receive exactly what you need with every session in a steadily increasing process. The ‘process’ continues for a few days after the session. Integrating this energy creates gentle shifts to benefit you in all areas of your life including an awareness and intuition in relationships, physical and mental wellbeing, diet and health choices. KAP has a profound effect on the brain, a rewiring occurs creating shifts in self belief, intuition, psychic abilities, perspective and recovery. KAP has as show to have a fantastic improvement in those with chronic depression and PTSD and a traumatic history. Although not it's primary goal, which is the raising and connection of human consciousness, it can have healing effects on many. KAP has a very positive effect on those living with Kundalini Syndrome, an uncomfortable condition caused by will-power practices or sometime trauma. KAP will help your body to catch up and be better evolved to hold the increased energetic activity you feel. You will be put back in control of your enhanced spiritual development. Most people can experience KAP however there are a few exceptions: those with epilepsy, mania and delusions, schizophrenia and those over seven months pregnant. We advise not to drink alcohol or do drugs within 24 hours of receiving KAP. Eating only lightly helps the energy. By booking this event you agree to the terms and conditions in the GDPR, Medical Waver and Release form found on the FAQ at [www.soulflowenergy.com](http://www.soulflowenergy.com) and at the venue. Most venues ‘sell out’ and so tickets are not transferable or refundable, but you can always ask. This class last two hours with a one hour transmission, before is an introduction and after a debrief and sharing. Feel free to contact me to ask any questions about Kundalini Activation I'll be happy to help. | |||

| Fool Expression: Discover and Learn How To Express the Different Parts Within You | Fri, Nov 6, 7:45 PM UTC | Open House Hackney, Prince Edward Road, London, UK | 3mxkani6hqd22 | Curator | # Discover your Inner Village An Evening Taster ### Every one of us carries an Inner Village. A living community of different voices, qualities, longings, fears, protectors and forgotten possibilities. Some of these parts feel familiar and easy to access. Others have been hidden, silenced or are simply waiting for the right conditions to emerge. Fool Expression is an invitation to begin meeting this inner community through embodied play, movement, presence and authentic expression. Rather than talking about ourselves, we learn to notice what is alive in us, stay with it, and discover the intelligence, vitality and creativity that each experience carries. As our relationship with these different parts deepens, they become less frightening to meet and more available as companions in our lives. We begin to discover that every part carries something essential, and that there is also a place in the middle of it all where we are free to choose, to respond, and to move between them with greater ease. **A Taste of Fool Expression** This evening offers a gentle introduction to the practice and to the atmosphere of Fool Expression Together we'll explore simple embodied exercises, movement, relational practices and playful explorations that help us settle, become more present, and meet ourselves with curiosity Everything is offered as an invitation. You are always free to participate at your own pace. There is nothing to perform, no experience to get right, and no previous experience with movement, theatre or personal development is needed. **What does the evening involve?** During the evening you can expect: • Grounding and embodiment practices • Emerging movement and exploration • Connecting with others in a simple and supported way • Discovering different parts of yourself through direct experience • Moments of reflection and sharing • A relaxed, welcoming and trauma-informed space ** Is this for me?** This evening may be for you if you: • Feel curious about yourself and how you relate to the world • Long for more authenticity, freedom or creativity in your life • Are interested in embodied personal development • Are looking for a practice that is both playful and profound • Simply want to experience something different in a safe and welcoming environment Many people leave feeling more connected to themselves, more spacious, more playful, and curious to continue discovering their Inner Village. ### The Fool In this practice, the Fool is not someone who performs or entertains. The Fool is the part of us that remains curious. It is willing to step into the unknown without needing to know who it has to be. It welcomes every aspect of ourselves with openness rather than judgement. The Fool can move from one presence to another, allowing each to be fully embodied before gently stepping aside for whatever wishes to emerge next. Over time this brings greater flexibility, authenticity and inner freedom. **Curious to explore further?** This evening is a first taste of Fool Expression. If this work speaks to you, the Fool Expression [Level 1 weekend on the 7-8 November 26](https://dandelion.events/e/u4l7q) offers a deeper immersion into building relationships with the many parts of your Inner Village and developing practical tools to continue that journey in everyday life. You can read more about the practice here: [https://christieanimas.com/fool-expression](https://christieanimas.com/fool-expression) "_ **Every time I met with the unknown I was surprised, delighted and had a great sense of relief. For me the unknown has always been a frightening dark abyss, yet just with this intro weekend and stepping into the unknown a few times, my perspective has greatly shifted. It's still scary, yes, but instead of a dark, frightening abyss there are now so many different shades and hues to discover. Going through this process has been like a mirror for my life... Thank you for revealing and sharing this path.** _" — **Louise Littera** , Home Educator ### ## Your Facilitator ### Christie Animas .png) Christie Animas is the creator of Fool Expression, an evolving practice that weaves together Voice Dialogue, Fooling, embodiment, psychology, improvisation and community practice. For over a decade she has been facilitating workshops across the UK and Europe, creating spaces where people can explore the many voices of their Inner Village with curiosity, play and compassion. Originally trained in Occupational Therapy and specialising in Child Psychiatry, Christie later trained in Voice Dialogue, the Fooling practice with Franki Anderson, Body-Informed Leadership and a range of embodied and relational approaches. Her work is deeply influenced by nature, community, creativity and years of exploring what helps people feel more fully alive, authentic and connected. Participants often describe her facilitation as gentle, playful, deeply attuned and surprisingly transformative.

Christie is an exceptional facilitator." "The Introduction to Fool Expression transformed the way I relate to myself. I left feeling more alive, more open and more at home in who I am." "Every time I met the unknown I was surprised, delighted and had a great sense of relief. It completely changed my relationship with uncertainty." — Louise Littera "Play somehow bypassed years of fear-based habits. The masks became alive in a way that words alone never could." — Annabel Smart "Christie held the space beautifully, allowing me to relax and discover parts of myself that had been hidden for years." — Alan Taylor "After Fool Expression I felt accepted, open and deeply welcomed. It was one of the most embodied and intuitive journeys I've experienced." — RB, Workshop Facilitator [You can read more testimonials here.](https://christieanimas.com/testimonials/?doing_wp_cron=1784802864.8034679889678955078125) Note: To preserve the integrity of the group, I reserve the right to continue working with those I feel comfortable with, and capable of holding within the group setting. | |||

| ACER Integration | Thu, Oct 1, 6:00 PM UTC | – | 3mxkanih62c22 | Curator | ## Psychedelic Integration for Lasting Connection ACER Integration is a guided 13-month online program supporting psychedelic integration through practices that deepen connection to self, others, and the natural world. Standard ACER fee- £1,440 or you can choose to split the yearly fee into three monthly payments of £520 **Exclusive offer from The Psychedelic Society** Join this training with **20% off** using code **PSYSOC20** ## Why ACER? Many of the challenges we face personally and collectively are rooted in disconnection, from ourselves, from one another, and from the living world. Research by ACER founder **Dr Rosalind Watts** found that psychedelics can increase connectedness to self, others, and the wider world. ACER was created to help people sustain and deepen that connectedness over time through practices grounded in psychological theory and nature’s wisdom. While the model grew out of psychedelic research, its lessons are widely relevant for anyone seeking greater resilience, meaning, and belonging. ## What ACER Does ACER takes place within a closed global online community over a year-long cycle, with an initial onboarding month. Each month explores a new theme inspired by a tree archetype, for example, **Oak** (accepting all parts of ourselves) or **Elder** (connecting with ancestors). Through reflection, breathwork, and community-based practice, participants develop sustainable ways to integrate insight and support ongoing change. The **A.C.E.R. model** helps you: **Accept** emotions **Connect** to meaning **Embody** insights **Restore** balance with nature’s rhythms ACER is non-prescriptive. You engage with the practices in ways that feel aligned, and you remain in control of your own journey. ## Who ACER Is For Most people join ACER for one or both of these reasons: to integrate their own psychedelic experiences more deeply to strengthen their work as therapists, facilitators, or spaceholders Many also join because they are looking for a community of purpose and a more sustainable way to navigate change without isolation or burnout. Practitioners come to ACER to be supported through times of transformation, expand their skills, and connect with a wider network of care. Integrators join to develop more resourced ways of being, reduce isolation, and continue integrating psychedelic experiences within a nature-based community. <oembed url="https://youtu.be/dJFC6S4Wm_U"></oembed> ## How It Works ACER is built around a year-long cycle based on Dr Rosalind Watts’ **ACE** therapeutic framework, **Accept, Connect, Embody** , with a fourth element added, **Restore**. The cycle unfolds in real time within a closed community, offering a more collective approach to healing than is often found in Western models of care. ## Benefits for You Community members report positive changes such as: reduced stress and anxiety through self-regulation and present-moment awareness movement away from old patterns through insight and reflection feeling encouraged, supported, and held by community creating a more sustainable rhythm for life and change increased creativity and inspiration greater connectedness locally and globally a clearer sense of purpose and direction ## Core Practices ### Tree Journeys Each month is guided by a different tree. Using meditations, written materials, and reflective practices, Tree Journeys help participants connect with nature, self, and others. Dr Watts introduces each new tree with a short video, and each journey is accompanied by bespoke music. ### Sharing Circles Small-group sharing circles help participants process each month’s teachings by speaking from lived experience and witnessing others. Circles are held by trained ACER facilitators who have completed the cycle themselves and are skilled in creating warm, respectful spaces. After completing the year-long cycle, participants are eligible to apply to become sharing circle facilitators within the ACER community. ### Q&A Sessions Each month, Dr Watts speaks live with an inspiring guest on topics relevant to the community. Sessions can be attended live or watched later on catch-up. ### Breathwork Breathwork is offered as both an integration tool after psychedelics and an embodiment practice. ACER includes monthly drop-in sessions as well as deeper **Breathwork Journeys** aligned with the **Eightfold wheel of the Celtic calendar**. These longer sessions are designed to induce altered states of consciousness and are led privately by trained professionals within the ACER community. ### Music Meditations ACER’s music meditations, featuring artists such as **Jon Hopkins** , range from 5 to 25 minutes and are designed to fit into everyday life. They support the ongoing process of Accepting, Connecting, Embodying, and Restoring. ### Orison Tree Circles Dr Watts created the **Orison Tree journey** as a standalone practice for processing grief and clarifying what we need help with. Participants can access the recording and also join facilitated group sessions within ACER to listen and process together.  “The disconnectedness of modern culture has left many of us feeling empty, lost and alone. Many of us didn’t grow up with a sense of feeling at home in ourselves, connected to who we are and why we are here, the land that we live on, close-knit community, and the ancestors who came before. This is why I started ACER..” — Dr Rosalind Watts ## Community Being part of the community is central to the ACER experience. It offers the chance to be known deeply, supported by others, and connected through a shared purpose. ACER draws on modern online connection to revive an older sense of **Anam Cara** , soul friendship. Alongside the deeper work, the community includes spaces for lightness and play, such as: **Tree Dance** with Leonie **Wood Whittling** gatherings monthly drop-in chat spaces ### Your Orchard Each participant is placed in an **Orchard** , a small group of 6 to 12 people moving through the 12-month cycle together. Orchards provide a more intimate space for reflection and processing, and many continue meeting after the formal cycle ends. Groups are arranged by location and timezone where possible. ### Connect Locally and Globally Although ACER is online, strong relationships form quickly across countries and timezones. Participants who live near one another often meet in person for nature walks and social connection. ## Beyond Your First Cycle When ACER’s first cohort completed the cycle, many chose to stay for another year. This led to the creation of the **Elders’ Orchard** , where returning participants continue deepening their relationship with the Twelve Tree cycle. Some Elders repeat the cycle for further growth, while others contribute to community life by hosting sessions such as **Book Club** , including discussions of Terry Real’s _US_.  ## Our Offering The **ACER 12 Tree Cycle** includes a **13-month membership** in the ACER community and access to: Sharing Circles Guided Meditations Breathwork Sessions Q&As with industry pioneers **Woodland Walks** with thought leaders in conversation with Dr Rosalind Watts the community forum resources and session replays ## How to Join ACER opens **twice per year** , once in **April** and once in **October**. To join, complete the [application form](https://acerintegration.com/apply-now). Once accepted, your first month includes onboarding to the platform, meeting your Orchard, and joining introductory live events before your 12 Tree cycle begins the following month. **Exclusive offer from The Psychedelic Society** Join this training with **20% off** using code **PSYSOC20** # Meet the Team  ## Dr Ros Watts FOUNDER Dr Ros Watts created ACER after working at Imperial College London as the clinical lead of the psilocybin for depression trial. She has been named as one of the 50 Most Influential People in Psychedelics. Ros’s favourite Tree Teacher is the Rowan (or Mountain Ash). Rowan teaches that Grief and Love are two sides of the same coin and that our deepest suffering can be the place where our most important offering can spring from, if we are connected to enough support and care to nurture this alchemy.  ## Lee Mendeloff OPERATIONS MANAGER Lee is a therapist, yoga teacher, breathwork guide. Her favourite tree is the Redwood. As ACER’s resident embodiment enthusiast and somatic practitioner, Lee loves how the Redwood teaches self-soothing. The Redwood reminds us that, no matter how strong we appear externally, our inner child—the sapling within—still needs care and nurturing. Tending to this part of ourselves builds emotional resilience and fosters nourishing relationships with both ourselves and others.  ## Philip Carr-Gomm FACILITATOR AND CONTRIBUTOR Philip is a psychotherapist, and previous sharing circle facilitator on the first ever ACER cycle. Philip studied Druidry as a spiritual path with Ross Nichols, the founder of The Order of Bards Ovates and Druids, and in 1988 was asked to lead The Order of Bards Ovates and Druids himself. “There is something about a birch tree lit up by the sun against a deep azure sky that just makes my heart soar.

| Holding Space: An 8 Week Course for Psychedelic Practitioners | Tue, Sep 8, 7:00 AM UTC | – | 3mxkanij5gg22 | Curator | # **Holding Space for Psychedelic Practitioners** What if the key to unlocking the transformational potential of psychedelics lies not in the substance itself, but in the empty space around it? In the evolving landscape of psychedelic-assisted therapy and personal growth, the role of the practitioner is pivotal. As guides in non-ordinary states of consciousness, we hold a sacred responsibility to create and maintain a safe, nurturing environment for those we serve. Research has confirmed that “set and setting” are the key influencing factors for transformational experiences. Psychedelic practitioners hold a unique position at the intersection of these two critical elements. A recent study has identified “Holding Space” as a critical competency for psychedelic practitioners. It’s a subtle but powerful skillset often overlooked in practitioner training. #### #### **What does it take to be an anchor in a sea of cosmic consciousness?** Successful psychedelic journeys require that facilitators be possessed of heightened sensitivity and awareness, the ability to offer deep, non-judgemental listening and the capacity for discerning and offering the levels of physical and energetic containment necessary to empower journeyers to hold space for themselves. Much of the work of developing these specialized skills begins with the inner journey of the practitioner. The most powerful way of expanding your capacity for holding space is engaging in open, dedicated practice of holding space for others AND yourself. #### **Join us for an 8 week intentional exploration of holding space as psychedelic practitioners.** A small group experience designed to expand awareness, courage and competence in the skills and practice of holding space. This program offers a unique opportunity to explore and hold space for your own values, emotions and growth as well as those of others. It has been especially designed to support practitioners in navigating the complex terrain of psychedelic work with greater ease, authenticity, and effectiveness, empowering you to provide profound support to those you serve while maintaining your own grounding and resilience. #### **Why this exploration matters** This program addresses a critical gap in many practitioner training programs by focusing on the art and science of "holding space" – a fundamental skill that can profoundly impact the quality and outcomes of psychedelic experiences. We’ll introduce holding space as a robust context and set of tools for engaging in the practice of self inquiry and healing and explore the nuances of holding space for the unfolding of self awareness, self trust and self compassion within others. ## ## **Program Overview** #### **Format** 8 x 120-minute online sessions #### **Focus** Principles and practices of holding space in psychedelic contexts #### **Approach** Facilitated conversations and experiential learning ### **What You'll Learn** Over the course of the program we’ll explore twelve critical themes and core competencies divided into three fundamental areas of focus, deepening your understanding and practice of holding space in psychedelic contexts: 1. **What You Offer: Qualities and Competencies of Holding Space for Others** - Explore and engage the subtle aspects of containment - Develop heightened sensitivity and awareness - Learn techniques to maintain a clear and supportive energetic presence - Explore methods to empower journeyers in their own healing processes 2. **What Guides You: Deepening into the Practitioner's Inner Knowing** - Cultivate a robust practice of self-inquiry and self-reflection - Explore personal beliefs and biases that may impact your work - Learn to navigate ethical dilemmas with clarity and confidence 3. **What Holds You: Expanding Your Capacity for Being Held** - Discover practices for self-care and personal grounding - Learn to recognize and honor your own boundaries and limitations - Explore techniques for processing and integrating your experiences as a practitioner - Develop a support network and resources for your ongoing growth Throughout this experience, you'll engage in facilitated conversations, experiential exercises, and reflective practices designed to integrate these core areas. You'll also have the opportunity to: - Experience the power of circle work and learn how to incorporate it into your practice - Build a supportive community with fellow practitioners - Gain tools for ongoing self-assessment and professional development By focusing on these three interconnected areas, you'll develop a holistic approach to holding space that enhances both your effectiveness as a practitioner and your personal well-being. ### **Benefits of Participation** - Deepen your understanding and skills in holding space - Have space intentionally held for you as you explore your practice - Gain tools for ongoing self-inquiry and personal healing - Enhance your ability to create transformative experiences for clients - Join a supportive community of psychedelic practitioners - Differentiate yourself in the field with these essential, often overlooked skills ## ### **Who Should Attend** This program is ideal for: - Current psychedelic practitioners looking to enhance their skills - Aspiring practitioners preparing to enter the field - Mental health professionals interested in psychedelic-assisted therapy - Anyone committed to creating safe, transformative spaces for healing and growth **Group sizes will be capped at 10 people. Spaces are issued on a first come, first served basis.** Join us on this journey of exploration and growth. Together, we'll cultivate the skills and awareness needed to hold space with profound presence, compassion, and effectiveness in the realm of psychedelic practice. ### **Program Details** Session Dates: - Tuesday September 8th 2026, 8am-10am BST / 3am-5am EDT / 12am-2am PDT - Tuesday September 15th 2026, 8am-10am BST / 3am-5am EDT / 12am-2am PDT - Tuesday September 22nd 2026, 8am-10am BST / 3am-5am EDT / 12am-2am PDT - Tuesday September 29th 2026, 8am-10am BST / 3am-5am EDT / 12am-2am PDT - Tuesday October 6th 2026, 8am-10am BST / 3am-5am EDT / 12am-2am PDT - Tuesday October 13th 2026, 8am-10am BST / 3am-5am EDT / 12am-2am PDT - Tuesday October 20th 2026, 8am-10am BST / 3am-5am EDT / 12am-2am PDT - Tuesday October 27th 2026, 8am-10am GMT / 4am-6am EDT / 1am-3am PDT ## YOUR FACILITATOR ### Chara Caruthers .png) **Chara Caruthers, MSc** , is a transpersonal therapist, educator, researcher, and spaceholder whose work bridges psychedelics, embodiment, and community. With over 15 years of experience in caregiving, therapeutic practice, and wellness education including yoga therapy, Ayurveda, and coaching.

As co-founder of IMPRINT Collective, she is pioneering holistic, community-centered approaches to psychedelic preparation and integration that honor the role of culture, ancestry, and spirit in long-term healing. Chara speaks, teaches, and holds space with the conviction that healing is most powerful when it is relational, embodied, and rooted in a deep remembering of our place in the living world. | |||
| Introduction to Myofascial Energetic Release (MER) London: JANUARY | Sat, Jan 30, 9:00 AM UTC | Millers Way Project, Miller's Way, London, UK | 3mxkank4izb22 | Curator | **2-Day Introductory Workshop Myofascial Energetic Release (MER) ** MER is hands-on deep bodywork that works on muscles (myo), connective tissue (fascia) and the physical and emotional aspects of tension and holding patterns in the body. The treatment may also include breathwork, joint release, assisted stretches, and emotional work. The goal of a MER session is to relieve pain, restore physical function, and achieve balance between body and mind. Every person is a whole, a unity in which everything is interconnected and in which fascia plays a crucial role. Fascia is a multifaceted organ that communicates, supports, connects, separates, protects, strengthens, coordinates, and provides information about how you feel inside. Understanding how fascia functions in the larger scheme of things and how you can work with it in deep bodywork can help you foster healing and transformation at a profound level in your clients. This introductory workshop is open to bodyworkers and therapists who want to expand their skills as well as newcomers to bodywork who want to discover the possibilities that MER offers. In this weekend you will get an introduction to the principles and science behind MER; the how it works and why. You will learn basic techniques that you can instantly apply in your practice, supporting your clients on their path to health and healing. We will also cover: • The body's natural capacity for self-regulation and healing • The autonomic nervous system and how you can work with it with simple interventions • How to perform a body reading and how to incorporate this information into a session • Elements of deep touch, such as depth, speed, and duration of your stroke • The importance of your own posture and breathing • How you can support the process with verbal cues and client participation • Active meditation Expect a practical approach. By practicing with different partners and exchanging feedback, you will learn from your own experience what this work can achieve for you and your clients. This workshop serves as an introduction to professional modules of MER taking place in the Leela Centre in Gillingham, Dorset. **About Myofascial Energetic Release ** Myofascial Energetic Release (MER) is a deep form of bodywork developed by renowned bodyworker Satyarthi Peloquin. It combines myofascial release, breathwork, movement, and emotional work to release tension, align the body, support emotional healing, and restore natural energy flow. **About the trainer ** Ketu Bo trained as a therapist with Veeresh Yuson in the Osho Humaniversity in the Netherlands, specialising in emotional awareness, bodywork, dance and movement. Next to being a Humaniversity therapist, he is a Postural Integration practitioner, MER (Myofascial Energetic Release) practitioner, a Postural Alignment Specialist (Egoscue postural therapy) and a NARM (Neuro Affective Relational Model) practitioner. Ketu has a profound interest in the connection between mind, body and soul. Drawing from 30 years of working in the human potential movement as a group leader, bodyworker, trainer and therapist, Ketu has the experience, knowledge and skill needed to help newcomers get started with bodywork, as well as teaching practicing therapists how they can improve their game. Ulla Thordal's path in bodywork began with Cranio-Sacral Therapy, a practice she honered for many years before exploring tantra in 2011, which she now integrates into her work. Her fascination with the healing power of the fascia and nervous system led her to study Myofascial Energetic Release (MER) under Satyarthi Peloquin, assisting him in workshops across Europe. Ulla is passionate about using her hands and heart to guide clients toward health and balance, always striving to create meaningful, individualised connections. | |||
| Psychedelic Practitioner Core Training | Mon, Jan 18, 7:00 PM UTC | – | 3mxkanklhc622 | Curator | The Synthesis Institute presents: # **Psychedelic Practitioner Core Training** A foundational certification program for professionals (September 2026 cohort) **Program begins:** January 19th, 2027 **Super Early Registration** available through November 22 **Tuition:** $11,497 → $9,497 (save $2,000) **Payment plan:** 12-month payment plan available ### **Exclusive offer from The Psychedelic Society** #### Join this training with $700 off using code PPCTPSYCHSOCIETY. [](https://www.synthesisinstitute.com/psychedelic-practitioner-core-training#payment3) As increased access to psychedelics continues to expand and reshape how we approach debilitating mental health and treatment-resistant conditions, the need for professionally trained practitioners is growing. Over the past several years, psychedelic research has surged under rigorous clinical conditions, pointing toward a major shift in mental health care and accelerating the need for facilitators who can support safe, ethical, well-prepared experiences and strong integration afterward. The Psychedelic Practitioner Core Training is a 13-month educational journey for professionals seeking a research-backed, wisdom-rich, somatically informed, heart-centered approach to facilitation. It’s designed for people who want to contribute to the psychedelic field with integrity, grounded in best practices, supported by community, and oriented toward ethical service. ### Why this training now Psychedelics are increasingly being studied and discussed as countries and states reevaluate regulations and explore therapeutic potential. Hundreds of clinical trials are currently investigating psychedelics for conditions such as depression, PTSD, and addiction, with psilocybin remaining at the forefront due to promising safety and efficacy signals across multiple areas of need. Alongside these research developments, regulated access is emerging in some places, creating real demand for practitioners who understand screening, preparation, navigation, safety, ethics, and integration, not just the experience itself. ### A training built from real-world experience Since 2018, The Synthesis Institute has guided more than 1,100 participants through legal, professionally facilitated group and individual psychedelic journeys. This Core Training reflects Synthesis’ best practices, cultivated through diligent focus and shaped with supervision from experienced psychedelic experts, so you can develop the competence, confidence, and discernment to work responsibly in this evolving space. ### Colorado alignment and accreditation Synthesis’ training aligns with Colorado’s state-mandated requirements and has been approved as an accredited training center under the state’s regulatory framework for future psychedelic facilitators. As Colorado’s regulated landscape continues to take shape, this training is built to prepare graduates to operate within legal and ethical guidelines as frameworks evolve. _“Legal, professionally-organized retreats and trainings like (the ones) Synthesis offers can be a safe way for people to experience the transformational potential of psychedelics, and they can also be a great source of data for research centers like our own, helping to further advance the field. I'm excited to continue working alongside Synthesis to provide high-quality services and meaningful scientific research for the psychedelic community.”_ **- Robin Carhart-Harris, Ph.D.** (Founder of the Centre for Psychedelic Research at Imperial College London) ### Who it’s for This program welcomes professionals from a wide range of backgrounds and industries who demonstrate maturity, commitment, focus, and readiness for deep self-exploration. Enrollment is by application only, and the application process assesses intentions and fit, including areas such as professional experience, self-care practices, group learning compatibility, and (if applicable) prior psychedelic experience. ### What makes this program different This is more than earning a credential. The training emphasizes that the safest, most effective facilitation is grounded in the practitioner’s ongoing inner work. You’ll learn the science and best practices and develop personal practices and professional support networks that help you become a flexible, compassionate, collaborative, ethical facilitator. A key differentiator is the program’s intimate learning model: Small-group “pod” learning (approximately 8 to 10 participants) Each pod is supported by an experienced learning facilitator The structure supports deep reflection, feedback, supervision, skill-building, and integration Many participants report their pod becomes one of the most meaningful parts of the entire experience ### What you’ll learn and develop In the Psychedelic Practitioner Core Training, you will: Develop a foundational understanding of guiding a safe and ethical psychedelic journey, from screening and readiness to preparation, navigation, and integration Gain awareness of relevant clinical research and evidence-based best practices Broaden your understanding of established and emerging wisdom and traditional approaches Build your capacity to hold space for a wide range of experiences, while recognizing the limits of your current scope and the next steps for growth Establish consistent personal practices in self-care and self-reflection Assemble a toolkit of professional skills that support transformation, accountability, and ethical practice Recognize internal prejudices and unconscious bias and learn to create culturally sensitive, trauma-informed containers Deepen your understanding of ethical questions around cultural appropriation, extractivism, restorative justice, and generative reciprocity Join a peer network and connect to Synthesis’ international professional community and global network **Note:** Earning a completion certificate does not authorize you to lead or facilitate psychedelic journeys. Regulations vary and change rapidly, and participants are responsible for following laws in their place of residence. **Hear From Seven Graduates on Their Training Experience and Work in the Field** <oembed url="https://vimeo.com/1135914158/b16c46774e?fl=pl&fe=cm"></oembed> ### ### The Four-Lens Approach: honoring many ways of knowing Synthesis’ curriculum is organized around a clear organizing principle: there is no one-size-fits-all method for facilitation. The program trains you to hold complexity by exploring each topic through four lenses: **Embodied Wisdom:** ongoing somatic, spiritual, and self-reflection practices, values, personal ethics, integration of learning **Cognitive Wisdom:** history, philosophy, neuroscience, psychopharmacology, harm reduction, and facilitation best practices **Sacred Wisdom:** meaning-making traditions, nature-based and spiritual approaches, and the wisdom of cultures navigating liminal spaces across time **Relational Wisdom:** relational skills, boundaries, community responsibility, and how to be deliberate in bringing this work into the world This framework is designed to help you build a strong foundation while developing an authentic, personalized approach rooted in ethical and safety standards. ### ### Program structure (January 2027 cohort) **Welcome and Orientation (first 2 weeks)** Program begins January 18th, 2027 Orientation includes video content plus meeting your learning facilitator and pod group during that week **Nine monthly modules (spanning 12 months)** 9 themed coursework modules, each one month long Built-in breaks in March, August and December 2027 for rest, self-care, and integration **Weekly rhythm** Weekly recorded teaching sessions (approximately 60 to 90 minutes) Weekly live pod sessions (2.5 hours) with facilitated discussion, skills practice, professional supervision, and group exercises Assignments estimated at 10 to 15 hours per month **Bonus learning (optional)** Monthly live bonus workshops with a rotating roster of thought leaders, wisdom elders, and visionaries **Assessment, closing, and completion** Portfolio review and a final oral examination during the integration and assessment phase Closing and celebration upon completion ### ### Colorado Module (optional add-on) If you are seeking licensure in Colorado, you can opt in to an additional Colorado Module covering state-required learnings (25+ hours of lectures, assignments, and materials), completed at your own pace alongside the Core Training. **Additional tuition:** $497 (separate from Core Training tuition) ### Financial aid and inclusivity Scholarships are available at 25% and 50% for qualified applicants. As part of a commitment to inclusivity and diversity in psychedelic care, at least 30% of participants in each cohort receive financial aid, with priority for those demonstrating financial need and those impacted by systemic oppression across identity markers, including race, class, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, immigration status, ableism, and more. ### ### **Ready to apply?** Enrolment is by application only.

| Elemental Being: Hearth & Hollow | Fri, Nov 27, 5:00 PM UTC | Eden Rise Retreat Center, Totnes, UK | 3mxkanlnpqc22 | Curator | **THE INVITATION** Join us for the Heart & Hollow Winter edition of the Elemental Being Retreat for a tender-brave exploration of our interbeing with all that is. As we move towards the solstice, we will explore the cycles and spirals of this being human, weaving together therapeutic practices, embodiment, deep rest, ceremony in candlelight, silence, song, elemental connection and more. As the wheel turns past Samhain and the nights grow longest, we arrive in the darkness - the stretch of year before the solstice tips us back towards the light. This is the season of the hearth and the hollow bone. The hearth is what we gather around when the dark presses in, bringing warmth and connection. The fire has transformed humanity in profound ways, and gathering around it brings us back to our primal roots. Here we will meet the archetype of the alchemist, transmuting suffering into aliveness, and finding the gift in the challenge. The alchemist embraces change and paradox. The hollow bone is the clear channel that opens up inside us when we become fully alive to the present moment and the separate self dissolves. In the deepest stillness, silence and darkness of the Winter months we have an opportunity to pause the relentless flood of information coming in, and instead to empty ourselves out, to become free-flowing vessels for the unfolding of life. Here we will encounter the archetype of the crone, the wise old woman, offering us a bone-deep wisdom that shines a light on our shadows with clarity and love. We come together to befriend the dark, to gather at the hearth, and to hollow ourselves a little to welcome life more fully. _“The support was incredible. I felt so comfortable being myself fully - tears and all! Thank you for providing a space that is so freeing. The world needs more of this love, safety & compassion.”_ **WHAT TO EXPECT** Each day will follow a similar rhythm, which every session being optional, although full participation reveals the richness of this carefully curated experience. The schedule is still being refined, so expect changes! We start at 5pm on Friday and finish at 3pm Monday. **Example Timetable for Sat & Sun** 07.30 - Meditation, breath & dance - meeting the themes for this day 08.30 - Breakfast 10.00 - Movement session & group process 13.00 - Lunch & free time 16.00 - Afternoon workshop & elemental connection ceremony 19.00 - Dinner 20.00 - Evening workshop **EARTH - Embracing Darkness** - opening, meeting the cycles and spirals of life, death & dormancy - group connection + personal reflection practices - making the altar - yoga nidra for deep rest **WATER - Courting the Crone (finding the hollow bone)** - crone meditation - group's choice - e.g. mischief making, grief tending, crafting, IFS workshops - water ceremony (with optional cold dip!) - deepening into darkness - a short vigil on the land, apprenticing the darkness - prayerful mantra to honour death (and with death, also life) **FIRE - Awakening the Alchemist (gathering at the hearth)** - alchemist meditation - transmutation ceremony & psychology workshop (including how to avoid the extremes of wallowing/stagnation and avoidance/bypassing) - dancing the elements with cacao & chilli - fire ceremony - song, voice, story-telling & music **AIR - Turning Towards the Light** - integration ceremony - sun-seed meditation - honouring the light that follows the darkness - final celebration and close _“I can say whole heartedly that I have come away a better person and it has catapulted me into improving and changing my life even more than before. Becoming better for myself and those that I love. Going on this retreat is one of the best decisions I have ever made.” - SARAH, LONDON_ **WHO IS THIS FOR?** The group is open to everyone who feels a calling to connect more deeply to themselves, community, the natural world and the mysteries of life. It would particularly suit those who are yearning for a deeper connection to the wider web of life, or who already feel this in their bones and would like to be with likeminded souls. Regretfully, due to workshops out on the uneven terrain, the site is not accessible for wheelchairs and those with limited mobility - please contact Megan to discuss further. Toilets are unisex and this is an LGBTQIA+ affirmative space. This will be a gentle yet brave, welcoming yet challenging, soft yet strong space for you to be held and from that loving place, explore your edges. Taking part in this retreat requires adequate mental and physical health to be self-responsible within group processes; we are all facing the horrors and joys of life and your whole self is fully welcome, but do get in touch if you have any concerns or questions. **WHY COME?** _“Where to begin!! The retreat was so rich, soulful & at times incredibly confronting. I felt a deep connection to myself that I truly thought I'd lost. I also worked through some personal shadows that needed releasing, to do that with the support from this group was so powerful. Also the final practices I found particularly moving. What a beautiful exercise in expressing self love. Megan's knowledge always blows me away, and Bendy's kind heart kept the space so soft & nourishing. Grateful is too small of a word” - CHELSEA, BRISTOL_ To remember ourselves as nature, interbeing with all that is; to expand around our small stories to find greater freedom, support and a sense of our common humanity; to meet our different parts with curiosity and compassion; to connect to the richness of our bodies and the deep wisdom that can be found there; to unlearn the bullshit and remember our truths; to touch into our unique gifts and the profound power of community; to offer ourselves the simple pleasure and profound healing of space and time away from the every day, attuning ourselves to the subtle mysteries that are unfolding in every moment. **WHO ARE THE FACILITATORS?** [**Megan**](https://www.meganavery.co.uk/)**(she/her)** _-_ I will be leaning into my experience of holding space for people for over 15 years, including working with people experiencing the effects of complex trauma in the NHS and privately as a senior clinical psychologist, running workshops and retreats, delivering training & supervision, directing the [Bristol Yoga Roots Project](https://www.bristolyogarootsproject.co.uk/), and teachin[g yoga.](https://www.bristolyogarootsproject.co.uk/) [**Zak Avery**](https://www.instagram.com/stories/zak_avery/) (he/him)[](https://www.instagram.com/zak_avery/)- Avery will be assisting Megan on this retreat - they have previously run Journeys of Belonging retreat together.

| Kundalini Activation at Caddaford Barn Studio, TOTNES/ BUCKFASTLEIGH | Mon, Dec 14, 6:30 PM UTC | Caddaford Barn Studio, Caddaford Farm, Buckfastleigh, TQ11 0JT | 3mxkanlvols22 | Curator | Juliet Leonard is the south west & Birmingham's only Kundalini Activation Process facilitator. Also known as Life Force Activation, she is a guide for Kundalini and Non dual states of consciousness through transmission. This is a powerful transmission of raw kundalini and non dual consciousness to raise your own frequency, clear negative energies held in your energetic body, dissolve mistaken belief systems and habits that no longer serve you and ultimately raise your own Kundalini Energy and awaken to Consciousness. This is a minimum two hour event at Caddaford Barns Studio, Caddaford Farm, Buckfastleigh, Devon TQ11 0JT.  _Caddaford Barn Studio at Caddaford Farm._ It is one mile from the A38. A very convenient location to travel to. A beautiful purpose build studio with underfloor heating and plenty of parking in the serene countryside only a few miles from Totnes and just outside Buckfastleigh. Plymouth and Exeter is 30 mins drive. Following signed lane turning off A384 to Caddaford. Caddaford Farm, Buckfastleigh, TQ11 0JT. Yoga mats and blankets are provided, feel free to bring your own too. Wear clothes to lie down in and do not eat much before the session. Places are limited to 10 in this venue and they can sell out. _ **What is KAP?** _ KAP is a direct energy transmission of Raw Kundalini and non dual states of Consciousness. This is a downward descending energy that clears and cleans your energetic field through your chakras. It raises your frequency so that negative energies are forced to detach and be processed. The energy stirred is your own life force energy which in turn may activate your own Kundalini awakening process. This is a physical experience of energetic movement within your physical body. Meaning that your physical body will respond in cathartic release or kriya (movements or changes caused by a spiritual practice) that can be seen and felt. It feels amazing and natural. Please see videos for examples of people in process. This **video will explain** more about how KAP works and What it is….. <oembed url="https://youtu.be/HTeyzPokCuk?si=4ezhrJ5x-qvRZ2hG"></oembed> Like reiki and healing modalities, KAP is received passively by the recipient with no skills or experience required. KAP is not part of a religion and requires no faith at all to work. Shakti energy is very much present in this transmission, therefore it has an innate intelligence to provide the upgrades only right for the person at that time of their lives and conditions. It will never give any more or less than the person needs. You receive exactly what you need with every session in a steadily increasing process. The ‘process’ continues for a few days after the session. Integrating this energy creates gentle shifts to benefit you in all areas of your life including an awareness and intuition in relationships, physical and mental wellbeing, diet and health choices. KAP has a profound effect on the brain, a rewiring occurs creating shifts in self belief, intuition, psychic abilities, perspective and recovery. KAP has shown to create improvements in those with chronic depressive illness and PTSD or a traumatic history. Although not it's primary goal, which is the raising and connection of human consciousness, it can have healing effects on many. KAP has a very positive effect on those living with Kundalini Syndrome, an uncomfortable condition sometimes caused accident or by will-power practices or sometime trauma. KAP will help your body to catch up and be better evolved to hold the increased energetic activity you feel. You will be put back in control of your enhanced spiritual development. **A Sacred Practice** : Kundalini Activation Process is rooted in ancient yogic traditions, designed to awaken the dormant energy within you. Each session offers the chance to experience **spiritual enlightenment** , **emotional healing** , and a deeper sense of connection to the divine. **Suitable for everyone?** Well, almost everyone. Those with delusional psychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia and current manias should not attend, nor should those with epilepsy. Women in their third trimester of pregnancy are also advised to wait until after birth as the sessions can be very physical. We advise that you do not drink or do drugs within at least 24 hours of receiving KAP, including medicinal mushrooms etc. Smoking or vaping or drinking caffeine is completely fine. For some people, eating only a light vegetarian meal on the day of receiving KAP is beneficial to their energetic experience. **About Me** : As a dancer, actress, and Early Years Professional specializing in children with special needs, I have spent my life dedicated to healing and caring for others. As a wife and mother of three—two of whom have special medical and educational needs—I bring a profound sense of compassion and dedication to my work. I am also a certified Reiki practitioner, with years of experience in energy healing. I have offered KAP to hundreds of clients most of whom return whenever they feel like a boost. My approach is grounded in deep care, compassion, and a commitment to helping you awaken to your fullest potential. Join me for this **cathartic** and **transformational** experience, where divine energy flows to clear away blockages and expand your consciousness.

| Around About Dusk | Fri, Oct 23, 6:30 PM UTC | Moor Imagination Centre, Chapel Street, Buckfastleigh, UK | 3mxkanm53fj22 | Curator | **Artist Bio - Around About Dusk ** Around About Dusk are an adventurous musical project creating original songs with influences ranging from musette, New Orleans jazz and blues, old-time and European folk and roots traditions, brought to life with eclectic instrumentation and rich vocal harmonies. Haunting melodies, tightly woven harmonies and stories of wonder, nature, and humanity, shifting around like growing shadows with echoes of cabaret, chanson, early jazz, and folk make their sound. With harmonies, macabre humour and folkloric storytelling, their music conjures the romance of old cafés, the spirit of New Orleans porches, and the intimacy of campfire songs, with touches of macabre humour and familiar folklore tales. Formed from a journey through New Orleans, busking festivals across Europe, and intimate campfire shows in England, Around About Dusk bring warmth, charm, and authenticity to every stage. Their work has featured on BBC Radio 6 Music and been highlighted as a Fresh Fave on Fresh on the Net and they have been shortlisted for the Peter Whittingham Jazz Award in November 2025. At their core a five-piece ensemble, their debut album releasing in 2026 - an ambitious project supported by Help Musicians—features widescale collaborations with acclaimed guest musicians and vocalists. Recent releases have been The Swarm in October 2025, The Boat in January 2026 and Without you in March 2026. Their album, Sweet Old Fables is released on March 26th 2026. Singles have been played on Fresh on the Net, BBC introducing and playlisted. With performances at festivals including Glastonbury, Cambridge Folk Festival, Bristol Folk Festival, and Secret Garden Party, as well as European tours such as Ballydehob Jazz Festival (IRE), Ferrara Buskers Festival (IT), and Neuchâtel Festival (CH), Around About Dusk bring a distinctive, memorable presence to every stage, enchanting audiences with a sound that is warm and unique.

| Nervous System Healing - 6 week course with Dr Jean Carroll | Mon, Oct 12, 8:00 AM UTC | – | 3mxkanmnhfb22 | Curator | Have you ever felt “on edge” for no obvious reason? Or maybe the opposite—completely drained, even after a full night’s sleep? Perhaps you’ve experienced unexplained pain, gut disturbance or skin issues, heightened sensitivity, or trouble with sleep, memory, or focus? What if I told you the key to all of this is your nervous system? Or, to be more precise—the nervous system is the _lock_. Environment is the key. Behaviour is the hand that turns the key. Stay with me… Your nervous system is the **control centre** of your body. It manages your stress levels, energy, and even how safe and connected you feel. When it’s well resourced and regulated, you feel calm, think more clearly, and have the energy to tackle your day and enjoy life. But when it’s out of balance, your body can feel stuck in _overdrive_ (hello, stress and anxiety) or _shutdown_ (fatigue, overwhelm, and burnout). This balance matters for more than just your mood. Nervous system health impacts your immune system, digestion, sleep, relationships, and even how you bounce back from life's challenges. Here’s the good news: no matter where you’re starting from, you can _train_ your nervous system to work _with_ you instead of against you. I’ll show you exactly how to build a healthier, hardier, more flexible nervous system—so you can move through life with more ease, focus, and energy. Are you ready to turn the key? **What To Expect** - Self-paced recorded content \< 1hr per week - Weekly live group coaching calls on Tuesdays 11am-12 midday on 13th, 20th, 27th, October and 3rd, 10th, 17th November or, alternatively, Monday evenings 8:30-9:30pm on 12th, 19th, 26th October and 2nd, 9th, 16th November. - Two 1:2:1 sessions with Dr Jean Carroll **You'll discover the ‘user’s manual' for** _ **your** _ **nervous system: common misunderstandings, uncommon knowledge, and real routes to greater resilience.** You will learn how to work dynamically with what's coming up to create greater capacity through top-down (cognitive) and bottom-up (somatic) practices. Basically, I've taken 12 weeks of neurosomatic therapy and condensed it down into a more accessible, affordable and fun format. | |||

| 1:1 Breathwork and body mapping (in person /online) | – | – | 3mxkanp7cu622 | Curator | This transformative self-healing practice supports physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness, helping you to: - Regulate emotions - Manage anxiety and stress - Prevent burnout - Develop self-awareness - Enhance focus and mental clarity I have personal experience of breath work supporting my emotional and mental health. This work has supported growth and self awareness. A regular practice allows me to be more present in the moment, and embrace challenges, opportunities, connection and joy with my feet on the ground and my heart and mind open. My intention in sharing this life changing tool is to empower individuals with the awareness and skills to access breathwork regularly as a self practice as well an in a facilitated space. My goal is to support a society where people thrive rather than simply survive. I offer private breathwork sessions are a safe space where deep healing and growth can take place. I guide clients through journeys that allow aspects of emotional, energetic and spiritual landscape that have been blocked, repressed or shunned to be felt and witnessed. As the relationship with the breath deepens so too does the relationship with self, as I invite clients to embody self compassion, acceptance, forgiveness and love. These sessions are an invitation to soften, release and surrender deeply engrained patterns of thought, behaviour and being that have prevented stepping into our full potential. I include acupressure body mapping and self massage in my work, to soften and release tension, stress and emotions that are held in the body, and to help energy and emotions to flow more freely. I live in Frome, Somerset, and offer sessions in person and online. If you are interested and would like to know more get in touch with a text or whatsapp message and arrange a free 15 minute discovery call. m: +44 07949 742 055 I look forward to connecting with you soon. Love. Vaughan | |||
| Somatic Processing and Mixed Modality Coaching. (in person / online) | – | – | 3mxkanpb6bq22 | Curator | These sessions involve a blend of parts work, guided meditation, somatic (non-cognitive) stress, trauma and emotional processing, and breathwork. I share this work to support clients shift their relationship with challenging emotions, patterns of behaviour, stress and trauma. While talking therapies help understand our emotional lanscape and relational dynamics, it can often be the case that there is a sense something is unresolved. And this makes sense. So much of our lived experience is felt, held and often trapped in our body. Emotion is _ **e** _nergy-in-_ **motion** _, but this energy can often be stagnent, unexpressed, held back, and denied. Exploring these blocks in a Somatic, non cognitive way is often the key to finally releasing old narratives, re-wiring neural pathways, letting go and letting flow, and moving towards a more easeful way of being. The most important part of this work is the connection and deepening awareness of ones inner sanctuary - the awareness of what feels safest, the most calm, and the most grounded - and the capacity to return there with increasing ease. Healing, growth and expansion can only happen from place of feeling safe. I will help you better understand the wisdom and language of your central nervous system. I will invite a shift toward listening to what truly serves you and your wellbeing, and the radically counter intuitive act of prioritising this. From this place of safety, and with full permission from your inner 'yes', we will explore themes, experiences, stories and sensations that you feel called to work with. I will safely guide you to sit with discomfort, dis-ease, challenge and the unfamiliar with curiosity, courage and compassion. There are often emotional releases, energetic shifts and other forms of profound work. This is where change and transformation can happen, where one story finishes and another begins. Working together I offer 3 or 6 month packages. After an initial consultation this allows for an exploration of the initial theme, the further exploration of secondary themes that almost alway lay beyond our initial awareness, and a resolution of the work. What you receive - 1 x 60 minute consultation - Weekly x 75 minute 1:1 sessions - Tailored integration and grounding tools and exercises - Post session Whatsapp check in - Unlimited Whatsapp correspondence during our work together - 2 weeks Whatsapp correspondence after we stop working together. - I am based in Frome, Somerset, UK. Sessions can be in person or on Zoom.. If you are interested and would like to know more get in touch with a text/whatsapp to arrange a discovery call. m: +44 7949 742 055 I look forward to connecting with you soon. Love. Vaughan | |||

This is a fully sober weekend. For many of us, modern life can be noisy, busy and full of distractions. The Reset Weekend offers an opportunity to step away from that for a few days and experience genuine connection with nature, with others, and with yourself, without the need for alcohol or other substances. There is something powerful about sitting around a campfire, watching the sunrise, swimming in cold water, sharing stories, laughing, singing, and simply being present as your authentic self. No masks, no hangovers, no pressure to be anything other than who you are. Whether you’re in recovery, sober-curious, choosing not to drink, or simply looking for a different kind of weekend, you’ll find a welcoming and supportive environment where you can relax, connect and reset. Accommodation is at a camping barn with access to both shared indoor dorm accommodation and a camping field. Whilst this isn’t luxury accommodation, it is warm, welcoming, comfortable and full of character. We also provide a quiet bell tent and access to the mezzanine area for anyone who would like some downtime, solitude or a quieter space throughout the weekend. For those camping, we also provide a night-time toilet tent, so there’s no need to walk across the site in the middle of the night. Throughout the weekend there will be opportunities to connect with others, connect with nature, and reconnect with yourself through a wide range of activities including: • 4 Yoga Sessions • 2 Yoga Nidra Sessions • 2 Sound Baths • Sober Disco • Basket Weaving • Foraging & Cordial Making • Sea Shanty Session • Arts & Crafts Sessions • 2 Guided Runs • 2 Guided Hikes • Sunrise Walk to Stoodley Pike • Open Water Swimming • Ice Baths & Cold Plunges • Stargazing & Night Walk • 3 Campfires • Sharing Circles • Whittling • Garden Games • Incredible Edible Farm Activity Research consistently shows that spending time outdoors, moving your body, connecting with others, being creative and taking time away from everyday pressures can have a positive impact on wellbeing and mental health. This weekend is designed to provide exactly that: a chance to slow down, breathe, laugh, connect and reset. Please note: All activities are optional, with the exception of the sharing circles. All meals, activities, camping or dorm accommodation are included in the ticket price. £220 per person If you’d like to hear what previous attendees thought of the weekend, visit the Journeys Facebook page and read the reviews and testimonials from those who joined us this year. Come as you are. Leave feeling more connected, refreshed and restored. | |||
| Friday Night Dance – Autumn Series 2026 | Fri, Sep 11, 5:30 PM UTC | Harberton Parish Hall, 5 Tristford Rd, Harberton, Totnes TQ9 7SD, UK | 3mxkanqtuiw22 | Curator | **Friday Night Dance** is a fun, deep and inclusive committed group series blending the subtle pleasures of somatic movement with the freedom of improvisation and music. This space invites exploration, connection, and a deepening relationship with movement. **All returning and new dancers are welcome.** We are a supportive, all-gender adult group — we dance, rest, and play with varying soundscapes and light facilitation. While movement is at the heart of our practice, there are occasional moments of guided reflection or verbal sharing to support integration. We are lucky to have the foundation of over a decade of Friday Night Dance in Totnes! And while that brings support of long-standing dancers, this is truly a space where everyone is welcome - new-to-dance, returning-to-dance, or seasoned dancers.. #### **Autumn Term Dates** 11 & 25 September 9 & 23 October 6 & 20 November 4 December (18 December optional Festive Special) 6.30-8.30pm Harberton Parish Hall, 5 Tristford Rd, Harberton, Totnes TQ9 7SD #### Price For 7 sessions: £128 standard price £136 supporter price (helps others attend) (Optional) £12 Festive Special advance price **Some things that might not be obvious if you’re thinking of joining for the first time:** You don’t have to dance in a particular way, keep moving the whole time, make eye contact, or join in with everything. It’s fine if you need time in your own somatics, or deep rest to start. It’s fine to wear earplugs. (We have a bag of them..) It’s fine to spend time witnessing rather than moving. It’s fine if your body says, “Actually, I need to lie down now.” (And a step further, if you realise you need to sleep - fine too.) It’s fine to attend on hard days. Dance is here to help the body find its way. There are a lot of ways of being here. We’ve been dancing together for over a decade, and part of what holds the space is making room for however people arrive, orientate, take part, or listen to what they need. Come as you are. #### **About Leela Fisk** I bring 17 years experience of facilitating community dance, over 3000 facilitating hours of supporting personal and collective expressions in non-competitive atmospheres with care. I'm informed by my training with the School of Soul Motion, studies with Anna Halprin and colleagues along with various somatic movement practices. I have been working in education since 2000. I also lead a Level 1 Personal Embodiment and Level 2 Facilitator Training for the Devon School of Soul Motion along with other ongoing groups for women locally in Totnes and online as part of Movement for Life community group, Totnes Dance Collective and other initiatives. If we've never met, you can meet me and the hall here: [https://www.facebook.com/reel/1781962222826897](https://www.facebook.com/reel/1781962222826897) And more about movement & community here: [https://vimeo.com/450821255](https://vimeo.com/450821255) In the event that I'm unwell, my partner Adam Griffin (certified Soul Motion teacher & Friday Night Dance participant) would cover-lead an evening. In the unlikely event that we are both unwell then one of our graduates (who also attends the group ongoingly) would lead the session. Please feel welcome to join, any questions be in touch. [www.leelafisk.com](http://www.leelafisk.com) [www.devonschoolsoulmotion.org](http://www.devonschoolsoulmotion.org) #### Relational Awareness We foster good relations in the dance. We generate inclusive community. We feel it's real testimony to have been able to co-exist sensitively where group members also have external relationships such as therapist/client or ex-partners within the group. We do not recommend joining the group afresh if you have unresolved issues with someone who attends — please check with me first if you are unsure. For anyone in a professional capacity wanting to check about possible clients or vice versa, please contact me directly — we check by initials in the first instance. We (Adam and myself) run several other groups that I can point you to if needed. #### **Cancellation Policy** If you’re unable to attend after payment: - No refunds are available. - However, you may transfer your place to someone else — provided they start by the second session. | |||
| Wheel of Consent Temple | Sat, Nov 14, 2:00 PM UTC | Wild Goose Space, St Werburghs, Bristol | 3mxkanr3vcx22 | Curator | We welcome you to join us for The Wheel of Consent Temple. The Wheel of Consent is a powerful embodied consent practice which goes beyond other models of consent by clarifying four different kinds of consensual interaction. Each of them feels different in our body and requires a different kind of consent agreement to be made. These four dynamics apply to all areas of life, including with friends, family and colleagues, as well as in our most intimate and sexual interactions. The Wheel of Consent therefore serves as a basis for building a broader culture of consent within all our communities, and particularly our sex-positive ones. In the afternoon you will be have the opportunity to ‘wake up the hands’ - a solo practice which is the core of the Wheel of consent. You will also be invited to observe and experience each of the Wheel's four quadrants, through exchanges of simple, non-sexual touch. Any shared touch is optional and you will be supported to be in consent at all times. For the second half during the Temple, we will guide the group towards a consensual co-created space of play: solo and/or with others. Throughout, you will be supported to use the Wheel as a foundation and gateway into solo and shared physical touch, if that is your choice, to whatever degree of sensuality, sexuality or simplicity you feel drawn. **This Temple is open to those who have been to at least one temple or other sex positive space. It is an excellent intro for new folk and also a re-fresh and reminder for those who are more experienced in Temple spaces of Sacred S\*xuality.** **Date ** : Saturday 15th November **Time :** 2pm to 10.30pm **Venue :** Wild Goose Space, The Yard, St Werburghs, Bristol, Bs2 9YP [https://www.wildgoosespace.org.uk/](https://www.wildgoosespace.org.uk/) **Things to bring: ** - An offering/flower for the shrine to Consent - A dish to share for dinner - Something tasty and delicious to share with the group for snack during the evening temple (We will provide herbal teas and a fruit platter). **Further information: ** This Temple is open to everyone and 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. FOR COUPLES: Please make your agreements together before you arrive at Temple. It is totally fine if you wish to stay purely with each other during the night. Temple is a sober space. All genders are welcome. **Cancellation:** We have a no refund policy for the Temple. However, you are welcome to sell your ticket on to a friend. If you do so, please do let us know and send us their email so we can give the info about the temple. Any questions please contact Shanti on **07875 151582** Welcoming you with an open hearts, Shanti & Rupert **About us** _ **Rupert** _ Rupert has trained in depth with many internationally renowned teachers of intimacy, relationship, sexuality and consent.

| Unfold Your Soul - get your words heard | – | – | 3mxkanuxbsp22 | Curator | **Writing helps. ** **You scribble when you're alone; it's a valve; and those journals are only for your eyes. Sometimes, things that sound good come out... Maybe you even dared to share something once, with a friend - but perhaps it got no response at all; or at least nothing that bared any recognition of the trepidation that it took to be offered.** **Maybe it feels like you'll be laughed at; or even worse, politely endured. Maybe you have no real sense of whether what you have is Good. Maybe no-one in your circles does this kind of thing, (or at least, admits to it).** **And yet. ** **Isn't it one of the Truest things? Isn't it the place where you actually feel free? Could it be, that other people in the world might be waiting for those very words to reach in and touch their own deepest places?** **You could keep your notebooks closed, and perhaps have all those hours of honesty, liberation, and transmission, end in an attic or a skip.** _ **Or, maybe, you could enable their transition into the world, across airwaves, and ultimately - into hearts?** _ Whether it's towards an appearance on-stage; online; a private rendition for a loved-one; or a living-room reading; imagine being gently guided through a process of emergence, to the point of allowing your own words to actually come to life, so they can be carried onwards through the world by those who felt the resonance.  _"To read a poem is to hear it with our eyes; to hear it is to see it with our ears."_ Octavio Paz  6 hours of personalised attention, for whatever it takes to lift-up your purpose and let your language breathe… Through a method developed through extensive experience of work _with_ poets, and _as a_ poet; writing, performing, curating, directing, teaching and coaching on the spoken-word and personal-development scenes. Booking gives you a link for scheduling online meetings into my meeting calendar, spread at your own pace. You can choose whether to book all 6 immediately, or take them one-by-one. 1. We'll break down where you're at so far, and identify where you're reaching for - not just on a superficial level, but giving space for motivations which may not have been able to surface into awareness… Maybe you have a tentative dream about really taking this up as a potential life-path, or maybe you just want to get-over the crippling mental fallout that comes anytime you consider sharing your work with a friend. From here we'll design the flow of your other sessions, depending if we need more focus on integrating inhibitions or stage technique, for example. 2. Session two will generally be spent looking at your written pieces. Exploring how you feel about them, editing if necessary. You might go away with some homework if we feel like there's further crafting to do. 3. Time to create some inner-support, call-in some energetic tricks, and work with whatever resources you that you'll be able to re-conjure when you most need it. We might find ancestors, an animal, a body-experience or gesture that can somatically help you access your most expanded state. 4. By session 4 we'll be ready to look at All the reasons ‘Why Not’. We all have hidden belief-systems and inner voices which attempt to protect us through restraint and oppression. If we meet these strategies with kindness we can be more aware when they are in control, and can move towards finding other ways to meet their needs. 5. The voice. This is where you really get to feel the energetic transmission of reading your words well. It's great if you are able to speak it by-heart at this point, but no drama if not. We'll hone-in on the theatrical details of delivering that specific piece; as well as learning some general tools for confident and captivating presence. 6. Session 6 will take place after you've had a practice-run and done the thing, we'll sit on our laurels and find all the reasons to be proud, as well as tuning-up, if necessary, and scheming for your future path. **I'm Rozi, I'm fascinated by the wealth that lies hidden inside people, and I believe in the wisdom of those who hang-back and aren't so self-assured.** It bores me that entitled people are the ones who occupy all the airtime, and I don't believe we can build a complete or integrated picture without ALL of the diverse myriad voices and perspectives. If you haven't seen it, you can [**take a look here**](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EEwSXPrkPKNn5rzndJQtT1JVLolM8vYw/view?usp=sharing) for a summary of the process and my credentials. If you'd like to chat to me before you make your mind up to go for it, then [**email me**](mailto:rozi@believethebird.com) and we can talk things over. I'll answer any questions, and you can get a flavour of my style, so you can be certain it suits you before we begin. Airing your words and ideas is like letting-go of seeds into the wind. **Consider it the vocal-version of getting published, but with none of the competition costs or rejection-slips.** <oembed url="https://youtu.be/Tz1WO6gQEXM"></oembed> #### | |||
| Sound Bath at Warrior & Wild | Sun, Nov 1, 4:00 PM UTC | Warrior & Wild, Days Mill, Fountain St Nailsworth, GL6 0BL | 3mxkanvbej622 | Curator | Sunday 1st November 4-5pm, £20 At Warrior & Wild, Days Mill, Fountain St Nailsworth, GL6 0BL A 60 minute session to relax, reset and take time for yourself on the weekend of 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. This sound bath will take place at dusk, as the sun begins to set, where it said for the veil to be at its thinnest- between the spirit and the physical world. So a super powerful time to be in a sound bath! 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, the voice and other sound healing instruments. All welcome, no experience necessary. This is a sound bath is using a technique called “frequency of Light”, which is a beautifully gentle yet relaxing and nervous system regulating modality. 💛 **A bit more about Frequency of Light ©** 💛 This is a multidimensional crystal sound healing experience designed to support the harmonisation of your full energetic anatomy. Each session begins by gently attuning to your heart’s intention, bringing awareness to what is ready to be released, received, or remembered. You are invited to rest deeply, so the body can soften and the nervous system can settle into safety. From here, through a sound journey of light encoded crystal bowls and the voice, your energy field is invited into greater coherence and flow, supporting cellular remembrance, emotional release, and deep nervous system regulation. Each session is unique: you may experience sensation, emotion, imagery, deep stillness, or profound rest. Whatever arises is welcomed, and the medicine meets you exactly where you are. Step into the temple of sound, and allow yourself to remember your own harmonic Frequency of Light. Mats, blankets and bolsters are provided. If you have any questions, feel free to message Bethan at [rootedwithbethan@gmail.com](mailto:rootedwithbethan@gmail.com) Hope to see you there, Bethan xx **Accessibility:** Please note, this venue requires going up one flight of stairs. There is a toilet on the same level as the venue. Any questions, just get in touch by the email above. **🌿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). (I also hold 1:1 and private events, drop me a message if you'd like to find out more) **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! | |||

| How to Envision a Better World | Sun, Nov 8, 6:00 PM UTC | Online from London | 3mxkanyvbyn22 | Curator | This innovative workshop is about reactivating our power for envisioning and developing practical skills for change. Combining guided meditation with group discussion, we explore alternatives to current systems in areas such as education and healthcare. How can we use digital technology for the common good? What form of governance would genuinely serve humanity? Envisioning practice starts with open, foundational questions. We suspend our knowledge of what’s going on out there, and allow ourselves to see and feel the possible. After the meditation, we share some of our inner experiences and discuss how the best insights could be developed in the real world. You'll leave the session with tools that can be used both in individual practice and as part of group decision-making. | |||

Held in the lovely Henge Shop in Avebury which has a gorgeous view over the stones come rain or shine. **Dates Available:** (We have added some additional dates for Autumn 2026 due to popular demand!) [Monday 14th September](https://dandelion.events/e/drumbirthingaveburysept) - The Henge Shop, Avebury, Wiltshire [Sunday 11th October](https://dandelion.events/e/drumbirthingwestonbirt) - Westonbirt Arboretum, Tetbury, Gloucestershire [Saturday 7th November](https://dandelion.events/e/drumbirthingaveburynovember) - The Henge Shop, Avebury, Wiltshire **(the one you're on!)** If you can't make any of the dates above, let us know as we have a waitlist for future dates too. **Who is this course for?** Drum birthing is such a wonderful experience, for anyone who wishes to make their own drum and use it to support their wellbeing, to use in circle or in their healing or shamanic practice. We were all born with our own internal drum – our heartbeat. We hear the heartbeat of our mother in her womb. Making contact with a drum awakens our sacred, awakens our soul. The beat of the drum represents the heartbeat of Mother Earth herself and hearing or facilitating this “heartbeat” by playing the drum, brings healing and a deeper understanding of your connection with all life. **What will you do and experience?** You will have the opportunity to create your sacred drum and beater (depending on your choice) and be attuned to your drum and explore how the sound of the drum supports your (& others) wellbeing. The day will also include guided journeying and meditation to connect with our hoops, hides and drums, and of course, and opportunity to drum together! This full day course covers many aspects, and you will learn: ✓ The benefits of drumming, your wellbeing protocol and practise. ✓ Why rest, integration and grounding are so important for your body’s healing process. ✓ How to care for drum and tune your drum. ✓ How intention, imagery and drumming work together. ✓ How to create your own drum and beater. **Choosing your hoop & hide** You have the option of hoop sizes and animal hide depending on what feels drawn to you. When you secure your place, you will be sent a guide with more information to help you make your decision, which will be required by the 23rd Oct 2026. The remaining payment will be needed 24 hours before the drum birthing day. Depending on your hoop/hide choice, total cost is as below (this is inclusive of the £165 deposit): | | 14" Birch | 14" Willow | 16" Willow | 18" Ash | | Goat or Buffalo | £285 (£165+£120) | £295 (£165+£130) | | £320 (£165+£155) | | Red deer (stag/doe) | £315 (£165+£150) | £325 (£165+£160) | £345 (£165+£180) | | | Horse | £370 (£165+£205) | £380 (£165+£215) | £400 (£165+£235) | | **Sustainability & Ethics** - the supplier information: Wherever possible, I’ve sourced the hoops and hides from supplier’s whose ethos is ethical and sustainable. Some prepare their own hides, others have imported hides which have a certificate of cleansing. If you have any questions then don't hesitate to get in touch with us: Questions regarding the space: [rootedwithbethan@gmail.com](mailto:rootedwithbethan@gmail.com) (Bethan) Questions regarding the drum birthing: [Naturesembrace@btinternet.com](mailto:Naturesembrace@btinternet.com) (Toni) Thank you for trusting us to guide you through this ceremonial birthing of your drum.

| PlaYfiGHtinG cluB foR ADulTs | Thu, Nov 5, 7:30 PM UTC | Windmill Hill Community Association & Social Club, Vivian St, Bristol, UK | 3mxkao4hpk422 | Curator | _Wanna laugh like you haven't since you were a child? Find out what your body can do? Get involved with other people's shapes and forms, in innocent games of intensity? Wanna practice feeling in control of how others meet and engage with you physically? Or just want a fun workout that leaves you in mutual delight and expansion with a group of playmates?_ \*\*\*HEADS-UP! NOVEMBER'S CLASS WILL NOW BE TAKING PLACE ON A THURSDAY\*\*\*  **Opportunities can be rare in our world to meet other bodies close-up in ways that aren't sexual, sporting or aggressive; yet most of us can relate to the aliveness of wrangling in this way as children, or watching animals instinctually do the same, and the simple innocence of rough and tumbling…** **As well as a joyful way to inhabit the body and just being downright harmless good fun- Playfighting can also be a tool for insight, understanding and transformation - in sense-of-self, and in relationships.** Having ‘no-stakes’ offers us permission to explore strength and sensations together as adults, from a place of consent and empowerment. **Playfighting is for you, whatever you size, age, strength, gender, or level of experience. You direct your own involvement and can choose your level of engagement with any exercise. It is not about technique or muscle - it can be equally as fun to loose as to get points - but it also gives us the opportunity for deep learning about our life strategies in a safe circle of connection.** In the ring we can become aware of the habits and patterns which surface when we perceive competition, and how they can manifest outside of the workshop arena. Ultimately Playfighting can help us notice blind-spots; overcome adversities; make peace; and apply new attitudes as confidence grows. Whether you have fought before with PlayfightingUK, or informally with friends, or you're just curious to reclaim some playful power and experiment in a safe space; you're welcome to join us, **every first Friday evening of the month**. All sessions include games, some techniques, physical play, conscious competition and energetic catharsis - with plenty of time to spar in a held Playfighting ring. **We'll cover the important foundations of Playfighting; building safety by exploring ways to maintain connection and awareness while in an encounter; as well as skills and techniques for deepening - enabling you to track, explore and enjoy the effects of each game on the psyche.** Please note: we need a minimum number of people for the class to go ahead, so please book ahead of time, and do invite your friends! If we don't have a minimum number 48 hours before we're due to run, we'll cancel the session and refund the cost. "...I felt challenged and safe the whole time. I was amazed at how quickly connections ran deep with people, and it was a very lighthearted way to learn a lot about myself...” Charlie "So Much Fun! ...I haven't laughed so much in ages. Rozi is an enthusiastic, clear and engaging teacher" Sarah "I feel great! Like a gym and playground all rolled into one" Andrew "Really accessible & safe. Despite my health restrictions, I could participate & was supported..... Thx to Rozi for putting on such a breakthrough adventurous safe space. She manges to weave so much fun & play into these beautiful sessions." Richard "Down to earth and fun but also nourishing and healing and life-giving" "I feel closer to my inner lion-cub as a result and am still 4 days later riding the high from the session. I've been talking about it to people non-stop." "Great fun. A tonic to the serious job of living... I hooted with laughter, roared with anger and giggled with joy." "I arrived with my body hurting in a bad way and left with it hurting in a good way!" "Absolutely loved being able to explore my power" # YOUR FACILITATOR ###  **Rozi Hilton:** A multi-skilled facilitator, Rozi holds-space at the intersection of Play and personal-development - teaching embodied awareness and authenticity.

| Kundalini Activation Process (KAP) Glastonbury at Avalon Centre with Clara Collings and Juliet Leonard | Fri, Nov 27, 7:00 PM UTC | Avalon Centre, 1 King Street, Glastonbury, BA6 9JX | 3mxkao56kp422 | Curator | This 2.5 hour workshop is a powerful transmission of raw Kundalini and Non Dual consciousness to raise your own frequency, clear negative energies held in your energetic body, dissolve mistaken belief systems and habits that no longer serve you and ultimately raise your own Kundalini Energy and awaken to Consciousness. ### _ **What is KAP?** _ KAP is a direct energy transmission of Raw Kundalini and non dual states of Consciousness. This is a downward descending energy that clears and cleans your energetic field through your chakras. It raises your frequency so that negative energies are forced to detach and be processed. The energy stirred is your own life force energy which in turn may activate your own Kundalini awakening process. This is a physical experience of energetic movement within your physical body. Meaning that your physical body will respond in cathartic release or kriya (movements or changes caused by a spiritual practice) that can be seen and felt. It feels amazing and natural! It is a remembering, a clearing and a homecoming. This is the apex of energy embodiment through transmission. KAP is safe but very powerful yet never overwhelming; preparing your subtle energy body for your own ‘spiritual’ progression and healing. This **video (may only be visible on a laptop) will explain** more about how KAP works and What it is….. <oembed url="https://youtu.be/tBDCq-0XMSc?si=1hHEVmkmhXL5h1QT"></oembed> ### What to expect Like reiki and healing modalities, KAP is received passively by the recipient with no skills or experience required. You lie down on a yoga mat and we will touch you on your main chakra points whilst loud music is played, either on speakers or on headphones. What happens next is extraordinary grace. KAP is not part of a religion and requires no faith at all to work. Shakti energy is very much present in this transmission, therefore it has an innate intelligence to provide the upgrades appropriate for the person at that time of their lives and conditions. It will never give any more or less than the person needs. You receive exactly what you need with every session in a steadily increasing process. The ‘process’ continues for a few days after the session. Integrating this energy creates gentle shifts to benefit you in all areas of your life including an awareness and intuition in relationships, physical and mental wellbeing, diet and health choices. KAP has a profound effect on the brain, a rewiring occurs creating shifts in self belief, intuition, psychic abilities, perspective and recovery. KAP has shown to create improvements in those with chronic depressive illness and PTSD or a traumatic history. Although not it's primary goal, which is the raising and connection of human consciousness, it can have healing effects on many. KAP has a very positive effect on those living with Kundalini Syndrome, an uncomfortable condition sometimes caused accident or by will-power practices or sometime trauma. KAP will help your body to catch up and be better evolved to hold the increased energetic activity you feel. You will be put back in control of your enhanced spiritual development. **A Sacred Practice** : Kundalini Activation Process is rooted in ancient yogic traditions, designed to awaken the dormant energy within you. Each session offers the chance to experience **spiritual enlightenment** , **emotional healing** , and a deeper sense of connection to the divine. **Suitable for everyone?** Well, almost everyone. Those with delusional psychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia and current manias should not attend, nor should those with epilepsy. Women in their third trimester of pregnancy are also advised to wait until after birth as the sessions can be very physical. We advise that you do not drink or do drugs within at least 24 hours of receiving KAP, including medicinal mushrooms etc. Smoking or vaping or drinking caffeine is completely fine. For some people, eating only a light vegetarian meal on the day of receiving KAP is beneficial to their energetic experience. **Venue Location:** Avalon Community Centre 1 King Street Glastonbury BA6 9JY  ### **Who We Are** **About Juliet** : **Juliet Leonard is the South West & Birmingham's only L2 Kundalini Activation Process & Non Duality facilitator. Also known as Life Force Activation, she is a guide and mentor for Kundalini and Non dual states of consciousness through transmission.** As a dancer, actress, and Early Years Professional specializing in children with special needs, I have spent my life dedicated to healing and caring for others.

My approach is grounded in deep care, compassion, and a commitment to helping you awaken to your fullest potential. I am a Yoga teacher in training and a dedicated student of esoteric divine enquiry through a variety of enlightened masters. **About Clara:** **Clara has spent the last 15 years immersed in self-discovery and healing through spiritual practice, tantra, and embodiment. She is deeply experienced in energy healing modalities such as Reiki and VortexHealing and became a certified KAP (Kundalini Activation Process) facilitator in 2023.** In 2021, Clara underwent a profound Kundalini Awakening, walking the path with this transformative energy.

| Avebury Women's Drumming Circle | Sat, Dec 5, 10:00 AM UTC | The Henge Shop, Avebury, SN8 1RF | 3mxkao5hotf22 | Curator | Join for a morning to gather and connect to the beautiful power of the drum. We will move through meditation, drumming, singing and sharing. We meet monthly upstairs in the Henge Shop in Avebury which has a gorgeous view over the stones come rain or shine. And if the weather is good, we may venture outside for a drum too! Gathering a few days before the Sagittarius new moon and as we head towards the festive season, this will be a lovely opportunity to go inwards, take time for ourselves whilst feeling into that sense of expanse, growth and hope. Also in the beginnings of the time of festivities, we'll take a nod towards the idea of deep rest with the Winter Solstice, offering that sense of balance with all of the responsibilities this time of year can also bring, and the breadth of emotions that can come with it too. No drumming experience necessary. Drums/rattles can be provided. If you have your own, you are invited to bring it along so we have more to go round! Drop me an email at [rootedwithbethan@gmail.com](mailto:rootedwithbethan@gmail.com) if you have any questions. Would love to drum with you soon!

| Avebury Women's Drumming Circle | Sat, Nov 14, 10:00 AM UTC | The Henge Shop, Avebury, SN8 1RF | 3mxkao5jxxe22 | Curator | Join for a morning to gather and connect to the beautiful power of the drum. We will move through meditation, drumming, singing and sharing. We meet monthly upstairs in the Henge Shop in Avebury which has a gorgeous view over the stones come rain or shine. And if the weather is good, we may venture outside for a drum too! Gathering around the time of Samhain, a time to honour the Autumn season that we're in, as we head towards the darker and colder months. 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 animals are beginning to go into hibernations and the trees are shedding their leaves to allow for growth and abundance next year, this is an invitation for us to do the same. Also, just after the new moon in Scorpio, this will further deepen this sense of going deeper and more inwards. No drumming experience necessary. Drums/rattles can be provided. If you have your own, you are invited to bring it along so we have more to go round! Drop me an email at [rootedwithbethan@gmail.com](mailto:rootedwithbethan@gmail.com) if you have any questions.

One of the bonuses of our location is the amount of space, you can immerse yourself as much or as little as you choose (there's no pressure to do anything) Meet your hosts _Nicola:_ When I was first asked to write about myself, my immediate reaction was, “I’m not writing a bio!” But after a quiet word with myself, I realised — I have nothing to lose and so much to be proud of. I see myself as a lifelong learner. I began my NHS career as a paramedic in 2003, later transitioning into nursing in 2012. I’ve always viewed my role in healthcare as a privilege. I started nursing in the community because I wanted to meet people where they’re most at ease — in their homes. That setting offered a unique and deeply human perspective on care, one that inspired me to further my training and become a district nurse. That year of study gave me not just qualifications, but clarity about who I am and how I want my career to grow. Each day I spend in this role is enriched by the people I meet and the lives I’m invited into. I bring my whole self to every moment — whether I’m holding someone’s hand as they take their last breath, supporting a mental health crisis, or treating a minor health issue with the respect it still deserves. One of my greatest passions is teaching. I love to share knowledge and support newly qualified nurses as they find their feet. I don’t pretend to know everything — I lead with honesty and creativity. My approach includes crafts, games, poetry, and fun — things not often seen in the traditional structure of the NHS, but that create space for connection and real learning. I’m a Professional Nurse Advocate, which means I provide clinical supervision and emotional support to nurses — I listen, I guide, and I hold space. I’m also proud to be a Queen’s Nurse, a recognition I worked toward for many years. And while I hold those titles with pride, my greatest achievement is being a mum to my three wonderful children. _ **Sonja:** _ "Whenever I’m asked to write about myself, my hope is that you see the real me. I’ve been working with people my entire career (30 years), but it was only when I became a therapist that everything fell into place. I finally felt I was where I belonged. My experiences, both personal and professional, have been rich and nurturing, embracing a personality I’d describe as spirited, bold, and deeply caring. I have worked in many fields relating to trauma and love every aspect of it. As a result, I often find myself working most of the time—but I don’t see it as “work.” The foundation of everything I do is connection and communication: building trust through congruence, empathy, and compassion. I’m also continually working on myself and likely will be for the rest of my life. The ability to grow, develop, and learn is such a special gift the universe offers to all living beings. What we choose to do with this magic is truly limitless. I feel excited, privileged, and humbled to be spending time with others at the retreat, offering some of my knowledge that might help you on your journey. I’m an open book (at least, I like to think so!), and I can’t wait to get to know each and every one of you". I’ve reached a point in life where, through challenges, growth, and experience, I’ve developed deep gratitude for the everyday and the simple. I remain curious, creative, and committed to meaningful connection. I embrace change, I welcome challenge, and I believe wholeheartedly in authenticity — and in people. It’s a privilege to be invited to be part of this beautiful retreat. I look forward to bringing creativity, holding space, and contributing to a safe, welcoming environment. I’m truly excited to be part of it. **So what are our ethics, values, and vison with our retreats…** We believe it's important to share this with you, as it will give you a true sense of who we are, the foundation upon which this space is built, and what you will be supporting and engaging with should you choose to book with us. - VULNERABILITY - SAFTEY - COMPASSION - DIVERSITY - AUTHENTICITY “A NURTURING ENVIRONMENT INVITING PEOPLE TO PAUSE, REFLECT, AND EVALUATE THEIR NEXT/CURRENT STEPS...” "A SPACE FOR GROWTH AND LEARNING, WHERE WISDOM FLOWS NOT JUST FROM THE FACILITATORS BUT FROM EVERYONE, THE BELIEF THAT EACH PERSON HAS SOMETHING VALUABLE TO OFFER." - HONESTY - ACCESIBILITY - COMMUNITY - ADAPTABILITY - OPENNESS "WE STRIVE TO CREATE A SPACE WHERE PEOPLE CAN TRULY CONNECT WITH THEMSELVES AND OTHERS THROUGH AUTHENTIC RELATING, FOSTERING DEEPER RELATIONSHIPS BOTH INWARDLY AND OUTWARDLY."

| Sex Club: Berlin - Weekend Retreat I | Sat, Feb 20, 10:00 AM UTC | Holographic Healing Nest, Eisenbahnstraße 11, Berlin, Deutschland | 3mxkaofqmr222 | Curator | [**Sex Club**](http://www.sexclubme.com) **was developed in London 8 years ago to provide a space to process and explore the changing nature of our sexuality in a therapeutic way, and take an active role in its continued evolution.** It's a clothes-on space where we inquire into our sexuality via spoken inquiries and embodied explorations all influenced and informed by modern psychology, psychotherapy, somatic experience and conscious sexuality practises. **Sex Club was founded in London eight years ago to create a space to process and explore the changing nature of our sexuality in a therapeutic way, and take an active role in its continued evolution.** It is a clothes-on environment where we engage with our sexuality through spoken self inquiry and embodied explorations, all informed by modern psychology, psychotherapy, somatic practices, and conscious sexuality approaches. _★★★★★ **“** __ **I truly recommend Sex Club. It's a personal development/therapeutic setting, which is very well designed! It's set up that you don't need to push yourself towards something you don’t want to. I very much enjoyed the humbleness of Juliane. Even though I lead sex positive Temple events, I learned and got lots of insights. I got inspired, braver and even more grounded to talk about my wishes and desires. I got to know myself even better which lays a strong foundation for my confidence and self-worth, within a sexual and outside of a sexual context.”** _ _Raminta - Temple Facilitator, Berlin_ **WEEKEND THEMES:** Desires, Boundaries, Fears, Communication, Intimacy, Touch **TIMES** : Sat 11h - 17:00h (Berlin, CET) + Sun 10:30h-16:30h, with breaks. **PARTICIPANTS:** min. 6 - max. 24 people **PRICE:** Low Income: 150€, Standard Income: 210€, Supporter: 270€ Further discounted tickets available on request depending on your circumstances. **GENDERED SPACE** : Mixed **LANGUAGES:** English, German **LEVEL OF NUDITY:** No nudity _★★★★★ **“It's not what I expected. But what I expected pales in comparison to what it actually was. This weekend was like stepping into another consciousness for a couple of days. A place to leave your social norms at the door and be playful and explore and learn about yourself. And become comfortable connecting with strangers."** - David F._ **WHY & WHAT** Desires and boundaries are not static. They evolve and change. You might want to define, refine and/or review your desires and boundaries around intimacy and sexuality. You might want to inquire into your fears and release patterns that don't serve you anymore. We will hold **a space where you can reclaim, deepen and redefine intimacy and sexuality towards yourself and others, with focus on desires, boundaries, shame, deep listening, communication, power dynamics and touch.** You'll be guided to **find your own answers in relation to your sexuality and learn from the collective wisdom of the group**. Inquiries are done in smaller groups with bigger group reflections at the end of each exercise to practise authentic communication, and have a knowledge exchange between as many participants as possible. Sex Club is always evolving and growing, with each group we learn and refine our process. But, some things have held true from our first ever groups - the space we create together is **brave and held, playful and deep, supportive and challenging enough that we stretch and grow without pushing ourselves to go anyway we’re not yet ready to go.** The process is informed by a set of principles that help form the container for each person to go on their individual journey, to explore the parts of themselves that most need exploration and to find areas within themselves to expand into. It’s a beautiful and transformative process that invites you into a greater sense of joy and liberation in your relationships, your relationship to sex and your emotions. Regardless of your sexual orientation, preferences, gender expression, religious beliefs or disbeliefs, whether you’re single, partnered, monogamous, polyamorous, have a lot of sex or none at all, you’re invited to come as you are, by yourself, with your friend/s, lover/s or partner/s. This is a group journey with like-minded people who share the same curiosity. _★★★★★ **“Sex Club stirred up things that weren't even in my consciousness and allowed me to release some deep stored emotions. Having the space to explore my own needs and desires, hearing others sharing and seeing things from a male perspective was eye opening, freeing and has given me a lot to work on. The energy created from these courses are special. I experience big shifts from this work and I am incredibly grateful to Jules and Conor for the safe space they hold and for modelling vulnerability and openness. I can't recommend Sex Club enough.”** - Binta Patel - Personal Development Coach_ **ABOUT THE WEEKEND** Each day follows a similar structure with content building on what came before. The flow of each day is designed to bring us deeper into connection with ourselves and each other. **DAY 1** **On Saturday, we arrive together, get to know each other and build trust. You will be encouraged to be explicit in articulating your experience in a low stakes environment whilst at the same time hearing from other people and therefore expanding your vocabulary around desires, fears and boundaries.** **10.45h** - Arriving into the space **11.00h** - We begin with the principles and agreements of how we hold the space together **12.00h** - Pods: a smaller group within in the group for you to check in with each morning and inquiries **13.30h** - Lunch **14:30h** - Spoken and embodied inquiries into the themes of the day **16.30h** - Check-out **17.00h** - Close **DAY 2** **On Sunday, we go deeper together, we practise in a more embodied way, exploring power, becoming comfortable with touch - how to ask for what we want, communicate boundaries, give touch (platonic only), receive and experience pleasure and will flow into an Intimacy Jam together putting together all we practised.** **10.15h** - Arriving into the space **10:30h** - Pods: a smaller group within in the group for you to check in with each morning **12h -** Spoken and embodied inquiries into the themes of the day **13:00h** - Lunch **14:00h** - Spoken and embodied inquiries into the themes of the day **16.00h** - Check-out **16.30h** - Close Over the weekend we will create a container together where through shared vulnerability and a commitment to each other we’ll create group trust so it will feel safe to go deeper into our experiences, de-armour insecurities and shame through exposure and **find new confidence and comfort in ourselves as sexual beings**. Whilst we will offer a framework of exercises, this course very much focuses on tapping into the collective knowledge and experience of the group. _ **★★★★★ “I can't thank you enough for the weekend. It opened my eyes to a lot of what I've been hiding from myself and really shook up the way I connect with other human beings in such a positive way. Each exercise brought me further in touch with myself and closer to understanding my sexuality. Some things were challenging to face but I am incredibly grateful I have been able to drop some of the burdens I've gotten so used to carrying."** A., London_ **As with every Sex Club it works on multiple levels. You have the opportunity to:** - Practise communication about sex in details, in a trusted, non-judgemental and low stakes environment - Spend the day with a group of like-minded people enquiring and practising a **series of carefully-designed exercises based around self-inquiry and authentic connection that you can continue to practise at home**. - **Inquiry into your sexuality, and through awareness acquire agency to change patterns that don’t serve you anymore** - **Hear and learn from other peoples’ experience** and knowledge and expand your vocabulary. **IS THIS FOR YOU?** - This course is fully inclusive and valuable to everyone regardless of relationship status or model you’re in, age (18+), ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation and experience, religious beliefs, income and otherwise. - Although this workshop is therapeutic, it is not therapy. Whilst we set up a container that enables trust and honesty, we ask everyone to take responsibility for their experience. Please speak to your therapist if you have experienced abuse or trauma through touch or otherwise before you decide to take this workshop. - No previous experience in Sex Club or similar workshops is required. - No partner is required and everyone will have the opportunity to work with different people in order to enjoy a greater range of experience. **PRACTICALS** - Please come wearing comfortable clothing. - Bring a refillable water bottle. - There will be a break for lunch. Please bring any food or snacks you’ll need to sustain you. There are also shops close if you prefer going out for lunch. We’ll provide tea, cookies and fruits. **ACCESSABILITY ** Unfortunately, this venue is not easily accessible for wheelchairs. If you still like to take part, please email us. The workshop features minimal visual cues and can be suitable for people with visual impairment. The workshop features talking and listening and might not be suitable for people with a hearing or speaking impairment. Please enquire with us if you have questions.

Sexual liberation is at the heart of individual transformation, without which there can be no meaningful societal progress. To this end, I co-founded Sex Club in 2017. When designing and facilitating group processes, I focus on tapping into the existing wisdom and resources of the individual, and the exchange of their process within the group. This creates by nature a connected up-to-date peer-to-peer learning environment As a counsellor, I support individuals and couples to resolve inner conflict and strengthen their self-leadership in all areas of life. [www.julianemueller.co](http://www.julianemueller.co) _ **★★★★★ "** __**What a wonderful experience! I am still integrating how much I learned! I felt very safe in the "brave" space Jules created. It was a fruitful exploration of the topics. Beautiful exchanges with the group, simple embodiment practices, and empathetic facilitation. Everyone should have the chance to participate in such an event!**__ **"** - Louise Plessis, Berlin_ _ **★★★★★ "The space was held beautifully and created an environment where I could share things I'd never spoken about before. They also encouraged us and created a framework for us to feel into how much was right to share at any moment, to stay in the learning zone rather than the panic zone or comfort zone. Lots of depth, and also lightness and joy."** - Emilia M., London_ _ ** ★★★★★ "Loved the weekend. It helped me to get a better perspective on some interesting behaviours and subconscious programs still at play. It was so good that the second day was flexible. When peoples rawness came up from the second day some of the activities changed to accommodate this which was perfect! Can't wait for the next retreat.”** - George G., London_ [FIND ALL REVIEWS HERE](https://www.sexclubme.com/reviews-faq) **REFUNDS POLICY:** Please note, we only arrange refunds in exceptional circumstances though you may pass your ticket on to a friend or a different event. | |||

One of the bonuses of our location is the amount of space, you can immerse yourself as much or as little as you choose (there's no pressure to do anything) Meet your hosts _Nicola:_ When I was first asked to write about myself, my immediate reaction was, “I’m not writing a bio!” But after a quiet word with myself, I realised — I have nothing to lose and so much to be proud of. I see myself as a lifelong learner. I began my NHS career as a paramedic in 2003, later transitioning into nursing in 2012. I’ve always viewed my role in healthcare as a privilege. I started nursing in the community because I wanted to meet people where they’re most at ease — in their homes. That setting offered a unique and deeply human perspective on care, one that inspired me to further my training and become a district nurse. That year of study gave me not just qualifications, but clarity about who I am and how I want my career to grow. Each day I spend in this role is enriched by the people I meet and the lives I’m invited into. I bring my whole self to every moment — whether I’m holding someone’s hand as they take their last breath, supporting a mental health crisis, or treating a minor health issue with the respect it still deserves. One of my greatest passions is teaching. I love to share knowledge and support newly qualified nurses as they find their feet. I don’t pretend to know everything — I lead with honesty and creativity. My approach includes crafts, games, poetry, and fun — things not often seen in the traditional structure of the NHS, but that create space for connection and real learning. I’m a Professional Nurse Advocate, which means I provide clinical supervision and emotional support to nurses — I listen, I guide, and I hold space. I’m also proud to be a Queen’s Nurse, a recognition I worked toward for many years. And while I hold those titles with pride, my greatest achievement is being a mum to my three wonderful children. _ **Sonja:** _ "Whenever I’m asked to write about myself, my hope is that you see the real me. I’ve been working with people my entire career (30 years), but it was only when I became a therapist that everything fell into place. I finally felt I was where I belonged. My experiences, both personal and professional, have been rich and nurturing, embracing a personality I’d describe as spirited, bold, and deeply caring. I have worked in many fields relating to trauma and love every aspect of it. As a result, I often find myself working most of the time—but I don’t see it as “work.” The foundation of everything I do is connection and communication: building trust through congruence, empathy, and compassion. I’m also continually working on myself and likely will be for the rest of my life. The ability to grow, develop, and learn is such a special gift the universe offers to all living beings. What we choose to do with this magic is truly limitless. I feel excited, privileged, and humbled to be spending time with others at the retreat, offering some of my knowledge that might help you on your journey. I’m an open book (at least, I like to think so!), and I can’t wait to get to know each and every one of you". I’ve reached a point in life where, through challenges, growth, and experience, I’ve developed deep gratitude for the everyday and the simple. I remain curious, creative, and committed to meaningful connection. I embrace change, I welcome challenge, and I believe wholeheartedly in authenticity — and in people. It’s a privilege to be invited to be part of this beautiful retreat. I look forward to bringing creativity, holding space, and contributing to a safe, welcoming environment. I’m truly excited to be part of it. **So what are our ethics, values, and vison with our retreats…** We believe it's important to share this with you, as it will give you a true sense of who we are, the foundation upon which this space is built, and what you will be supporting and engaging with should you choose to book with us. - VULNERABILITY - SAFTEY - COMPASSION - DIVERSITY - AUTHENTICITY “A NURTURING ENVIRONMENT INVITING PEOPLE TO PAUSE, REFLECT, AND EVALUATE THEIR NEXT/CURRENT STEPS...” "A SPACE FOR GROWTH AND LEARNING, WHERE WISDOM FLOWS NOT JUST FROM THE FACILITATORS BUT FROM EVERYONE, THE BELIEF THAT EACH PERSON HAS SOMETHING VALUABLE TO OFFER." - HONESTY - ACCESIBILITY - COMMUNITY - ADAPTABILITY - OPENNESS "WE STRIVE TO CREATE A SPACE WHERE PEOPLE CAN TRULY CONNECT WITH THEMSELVES AND OTHERS THROUGH AUTHENTIC RELATING, FOSTERING DEEPER RELATIONSHIPS BOTH INWARDLY AND OUTWARDLY."

Participation in these retreats involves the consumption of psychedelic truffles, which contain psychoactive substances that can produce profound alterations in consciousness and perception. Participation in our retreats requires that all participants be in good physical and mental health. By attending, you acknowledge that you are physically fit and have no medical conditions that would preclude your safe participation. This includes, but is not limited to, heart conditions, severe mental illness, or recent surgeries. You must inform us of any pre-existing conditions, medications, or allergies prior to the retreat. Psychedelic truffles can produce a range of effects, including but not limited to: visual and auditory hallucinations, altered sense of time and space, emotional and psychological shifts, and, in rare cases, anxiety or panic. These effects can be intense and unpredictable. While we provide a safe and supportive environment, we cannot predict or control individual experiences. The experiences facilitated during our retreats do not constitute psychotherapy or any other form of professional mental health treatment and so are not a substitute for such treatment. Our retreats are not designed to treat, diagnose, or cure any mental health disorders or medical conditions. Any guidance or support provided is for the purpose of enhancing your personal experience and should not be interpreted as professional therapy or counselling. If you are currently undergoing treatment for any mental health issues, it is advisable that you consult with your healthcare provider before participating. Psychedelic truffles are legal in the Netherlands; however, their use may be restricted or illegal in other jurisdictions. It is your responsibility to ensure compliance with local laws if travelling to and from the retreat. | |||

Participation in these retreats involves the consumption of psychedelic truffles, which contain psychoactive substances that can produce profound alterations in consciousness and perception. Participation in our retreats requires that all participants be in good physical and mental health. By attending, you acknowledge that you are physically fit and have no medical conditions that would preclude your safe participation. This includes, but is not limited to, heart conditions, severe mental illness, or recent surgeries. You must inform us of any pre-existing conditions, medications, or allergies prior to the retreat. Psychedelic truffles can produce a range of effects, including but not limited to: visual and auditory hallucinations, altered sense of time and space, emotional and psychological shifts, and, in rare cases, anxiety or panic. These effects can be intense and unpredictable. While we provide a safe and supportive environment, we cannot predict or control individual experiences. The experiences facilitated during our retreats do not constitute psychotherapy or any other form of professional mental health treatment and so are not a substitute for such treatment. Our retreats are not designed to treat, diagnose, or cure any mental health disorders or medical conditions. Any guidance or support provided is for the purpose of enhancing your personal experience and should not be interpreted as professional therapy or counselling. If you are currently undergoing treatment for any mental health issues, it is advisable that you consult with your healthcare provider before participating.

This retreat is a dreaming for a deeper connection to our bodies, to our cycles and to the earth itself so that we can unravel what it is to step into right relationship with our earth mother once again. **Our Vision** **Softly Woven has been birthed from the inspiration of the journey of what happens when weaving, song and the womb become interwoven with the added depth and magic of womyn coming together to remember these ancestral and simple ways of tending to ourselves, our wombs and each other. ** As we start to cross the threshold through Samhain, there's a transition that begins that asks us to soften into the belly of winter. These can be found through the stories embedded in these lands as the Callieach (Goddess of Winter) awakens and our dreaming begins. During this intimate retreat, we will be inviting in the themes of softness, spaciousness, connection to each other and the land, deeper connection to our wombs, our hearts and our voice, learning the ancestral crafts and gifting ourselves a womb belt/ altar cloth. No experience is needed for this retreat as we welcome you to come and learn with us, to gift yourself space to come and be exactly as you are. Our intention for this retreat is that you leave with skills that you can journey with over winter, weaving, song, womb massage, yoni steaming, herbal medicines to deepen your practices and relationship with yourself and these lands where these medicines and allies reside. **What will I receive from this retreat?** - Accommodation in a dorm room with other women - Seasonal & Locally Sourced Organic meals that are Gluten & Soya free Curated by Wild Goose Kitchen (dietary requirements needed, these meals will include meat options) - A Gift Bag to take home and continue with these practices, including a Dartmoor Hand-crafted Loom, Dartmoor Wool, Herbs for steaming and more tba (Worth over £100) - A chance to create a womb belt to wrap your womb in over winter and dive deep into the holding that this special piece can bring to your life. - Free use of the sauna when it is lit - Learning womb care practices from massage, yoni steaming and other ways to bring yourself back into balance with your womb and your being. - A deepening of sisterhood as we journey together over these few days. - And so much more… **What activities will be offered over our time together?** - Creating a dye bath with Madder and other herbs with Rosemary - Spinning Rituals with Rosemary - Crafting and Weaving with your loom either a womb belt or altar cloth with Rosemary - Womb Massage with Emma - Yoni Steaming Ceremony with Emma - Womb/Heart Voice Journey with Lucy - Gentle Morning Practices with Lucy - Ceremonial concert with Lucy & Emma - Tending to the sisterhood (Anointing ceremony) with All - Blessing our Belts & Altar Pieces with Rose & all - Women's Council & Integration circles - Free time to explore the lands/ Use sauna/ rest/ integrate ### **Meet Your Facilitators:**  **Rosemary Riedel O’Brien** is a multidisciplinary craftswoman devoted to the ancestral arts of weaving, spinning, and natural dye. For over seven years, she has worked intimately with these traditional practices, cultivating a body of work that honours both heritage and the living rhythms of the natural world. Her creations are rooted in a deep reverence for earth, energy, and the unseen threads that connect all beings. As an inspirational soul craft mentor, Rosemary shares the sacred language of fibre through both online offerings and in-person workshops. She guides others in creating meaningful, handwoven pieces such as medicine shawls, womb wraps, blankets, and altar cloths—objects imbued with intention, story, and symbolism. Her teaching invites a return to slowness, presence, and embodied creativity. Rosemary also produces bespoke collections and commissioned works, each inspired by the quiet muses she encounters in nature. Living and working on a smallholding on the western edge of Dartmoor, she balances her creative practice with motherhood and a life closely intertwined with land and season. Through her work, she seeks to preserve ancient wisdom while weaving pathways for connection, healing, and remembrance in the modern world. _ **Soften into Rosemary's offerings here:** _ [www.wildroseweaving.com](http://www.wildroseweaving.com) .jpg) **Emma De Salis Young** is a bodyworker who specialises in women’s health. She runs a full practice offering Womb Continuum Care, fascia based manual therapy for all stages of a woman’s life, from menarche to birth to menopause. Her work is devoted to female physiology, with the intention to restore alignment and vitality so we can experience the full capacity for life that is possible through our bodies. A big part of her work is education, reclaiming the wisdom of traditional ways of tending to our bodies with our own hands, plant allies, and elementals, so we may remember the power we have to support ourselves and each other through all the thresholds we walk as women. She teaches women about their wombs and cycles, and offers understanding and guidance through many of the physical challenges that women experience in today’s culture. Emma is also a musician, a harpist and singer, and loves to craft, spin and weave, flowing with the creativity that comes through the womb. She lives off grid in Pembrokeshire, her ever deepening relationship with the land supporting this prayer that as women we may come home to our bodies, and to the earth. Soften into Emma's offerings here: [_www.emmadesalisyoung.co.uk_](https://www.emmadesalisyoung.co.uk)  **Lucy Wylde** is a musician, a space-holder, breath worker and weaver of women’s gatherings, creating earth inspired sanctuaries where women can soften, reconnect and remember themselves in one of the oldest ways of communing, through a village. Her path has been shaped by lived-experience, sensitivity, and a devotion to ancestral and embodied ways of knowing. She walks between the modern world and older rhythms, weaving together music, movement, ritual and conversation to create spaces that feel safer and alive. Through her journey, her voice has always been a pinnacle point to what she brings to the world and after studying the voice at University and then going on to study Voice Therapy, her knowledge of the voice extends through both worlds of contemporary and therapeutic. As a singer-songwriter, Lucy has an extraordinary ability to craft songs that are both intimate and universal, weaving heartfelt lyrics with melodies that linger long after the final note. Her music brings a warmth and presence that moves the soul, making her performances not only enjoyable but profoundly meaningful. Her visions of Medicine Woman Gathering was born from a life of listening and a deep initiation into early menopause by the age of 31. This work is rooted in a deeper call of what happens when women gather and how the power of our healing when we come together is something that’s unfathomable to anything that has been experienced in her lifetime before and yet the deeper the call, the more uncovering we experience within ourselves and each other. Her commitment to gathering the women & bringing us home to the lands and to each other as a village is very much Lucy's heart-work in this lifetime. Through Lucy's own herstory with her womb she has gained extensive knowledge in diet, nutrition, early menopause and general health and wellbeing that will be very much entwined in this retreat to support you and your own journey of optimal health and wellbeing. Soften into Lucy's offerings here: [www.lucywylde.co.uk](http://www.lucywylde.co.uk)  **Food** We will be gifted with a full-board of nutrient-dense meals that will align with the cycles of the northern hemisphere (Autumn/ Winter) and gift us with knowledge of what to eat to support our system during these wintery months. **Sauna** The sauna will be lit during our afternoon ‘resting’ phases which we are all welcome to use. Please make sure to bring extra towels for sitting on. **How to get there:** Directions of how to get there will be offered once you have booked your space and no later than a month before the retreat begins. We have direct **rail links from Bristol & London** which you are welcome and encourage you to get the train (to **Totnes** ) and we can arrange for a pick-up service. Every part of this retreat will be dreamed with the intention of creating space, integration and wisdom that we can carry throughout our lives. _This retreat is for all who were born with a womb, inclusive of those who have had a hysterectomy & inclusive of non-binary and other folk who are interested in deepening their connection to their womb. _ _Regardless of what phase you see yourself on your womb journey, we welcome you._ _We always want to make sure these retreats are accessible for all, if you are in financial difficulty, please reach out and we will do our best to support you._ _Unfortunately, this site is not accessible for wheelchair users._ | |||
| Read the Land. Re-wild the World. Learn the basics of Rewilidng with Ash Brown (Bees to a Flower) | Thu, Apr 15, 8:30 AM UTC | Totnes, UK | 3mxkaolq5ud22 | Curator | Join us for a weekend of all things Rewilding on September 12 & 13th! Located at an 18-acre restoration site in the south of Devon. We will spend the day walking the land, learning how degraded ecosystems recover, and discovering the practical skills used to bring nature back to life. Followed by food and conversation with fellow nature lovers, guided by [**Ash Brown**](https://www.ashbrownwilding.com/), nature restoration specialist. Successful rewilding means knowing not just what nature needs, but how to read what it is already telling you. This requires you to learn the land beneath your feet, the plants that signal soil health, the species that reveal what is missing, and the forces that are holding an ecosystem back from recovery. Together we will walk an 18-acre site at the very start of its rewilding journey, and learn to see it through the eyes of a restoration specialist. We'll use plant identification to assess the health of the ecosystem, recognise what is stopping it from recovering, and explore the strategies used to bring it back to life. We'll also explore the building of a food forest — how perennial plants, fruit trees, and layered habitats can create a landscape of abundance for both wildlife and people. You'll learn how to observe the land, collect data, design a restoration plan, and manage it adaptively as nature responds. A lot goes into restoring an ecosystem. But that makes every green shoot, every returning species, every sign of life all the more extraordinary. Skills you will take home - Using plant identification to assess the health of an ecosystem - Recognising what is preventing an ecosystem from recovering - Understanding rewilding strategies and how to apply them - Observing land and collecting data for a restoration design - Principles of food forestry using perennial and layered planting - Adaptive land management — working with how nature responds _\*Please note accommodation is not included, you can either purchase a camping ticket, or sort your own_ **Testimonials** _A journey of discovery of the land, mind and senses with a group of people that shared the experience how they wanted to. Thank you for opening up the energies of the earth, sky and landscape. It was heart-warming to see a group not tied to technology, that were prepared to be open to what might happen and not be worried about perhaps getting it wrong. - **Andrew Thossell** _ _Very informative and easy to follow for a novice like me. Great tips and can recommend for novices and the more experienced 5\* - **Andre** _ _What an exceptional day this was; a very special day of learning and insight with truly beautiful people…✨🙏✨ **- Annie Harris** _ **About Ash Brown **  Ash Brown is a nature restoration specialist and the co-founder of the ecosystem restoration communities movement and the nature recovery consultancy, Ash Brown Wilding. She supports landowners at multiple scales to restore ecological function, grow food, increase biodiversity, and restore the broken water cycle. In this workshop, you will visit one of the sites that Ash is working to restore, learn how to read the landscape and diagnose its issues, and how to restore it. You can learn more about Ash Brown's work [here](https://www.ashbrownwilding.com/). The workshop will feature data collection, Rewilding strategies, and food forest design. Come and learn how to restore the landscape. **A bit about Bees to a Flower** Bees to a Flower is a Primal Gathering initiative that encourages people, past participants, their friends, and the extended community to act as bees to a flower to their local community's flower projects.

| Identify and Forage your Own Mushrooms in the Urban City with Alexandra Lea and Peter Daniel Grant (Bees to a Flower) | Sat, Dec 5, 1:15 PM UTC | London, UK | 3mxkaolry4l22 | Curator | #### **Join us on the 5th of December for Primal's most popular event of the year: a day of all things mushrooms! Located in one of London's local forests. We will spend the day foraging and learning all about mushrooms. How to identify them, what they can be used for, and how to cook edible mushrooms at home. Followed by a special meal cooked by Peter Daniel Grant and a concert.** #### **If you require a low-income ticket and are not on UC, please do reach out at ** [**production@primalgathering.co**](mailto:production@primalgathering.co) ** ** **About Mushroom Foraging** Successful foraging means being able to find tasty, edible mushrooms and avoid the poisonous kind. This requires you to learn about the wild mushrooms in your region that are good to eat. Together we will learn about local trees, and which ones support the kinds of mushrooms you’re after. We'll learn how the mushrooms like to grow — which enjoy growing on dead trees, at the base of specific trees, on the trunk of trees, in well-drained soil, in moist cool soil? You'll learn about the mushroom sizes and shapes. About their colors. About their stems and gills (if they even have gills) and spore prints. A lot goes into identifying a safe-to-eat mushroom. But that makes the experience all the more rewarding. While discovering, a portion of the city, seemingly known, in an unknown, untrodden path and way. **Testimonials:** - _“Alexandra was so knowledgeable and interesting sharing her deep understanding of fungi and their medicinal properties, there was a great weave of practical, scientific and cultural threads and the whole experience was so fun and enjoyable.

| Love Your Rage: A Day for Womxn to Embody the Wild Within | Sat, Oct 17, 9:00 AM UTC | A beautiful venue near Alexandra Palace, London | 3mxkaonej7722 | Curator |  Most of us have been taught to fear our anger. We’ve been conditioned to believe it’s a dangerous emotion, so we hide it. We shrink ourselves, silence our voices, and bury our rage deep inside. If we dare to show it, we’re shamed for being “too much,” and when we can’t suppress ourselves any longer, it erupts and makes us feel unworthy, unlovable, and out of control. **But here’s the truth: your anger is not your enemy. It’s an emotion that contains your passion, your courage, your fire, and your wildness— the gift of aliveness that comes from embodying your pain, grief, joy, hope and wonder. ** **Your anger is SACRED and it’s a source of profound personal power.** The emotion of anger plays a significant role in your life. Anger is your inner compass, a signal that something within you—your boundaries, your values, your morals and the integrity of your truth—has been crossed. When you learn to safely feel, listen to, and honour your sacred rage, it transforms into a powerful portal of clarity, wisdom, strength, creativity and liberation.  #### About the day retreat: This one-of-a-kind retreat is a sanctuary for womxn, femmes and gender non-conforming individuals who are ready to re-align their relationship with anger. Together, we’ll dive deep into the heart of this often misunderstood emotion, exploring its energy through movement, creativity, and connection. You’ll be held in a circle of sisters, and supported every step of the way as you rediscover your wild within. The retreat will be held at a beautiful, private venue, offering a peaceful and deeply containing setting for the day. From 10am to 5pm, you'll be immersed in transformative experiences, and also get to enjoy a delicious plant-based (vegan) lunch, lovingly prepared by our Natural Chef, Nataliya. Snacks and teas will also be provided. _We’re happy to accommodate any dietary needs—just let us know in advance. Detailed information about the programme will be shared with participants a few days before the event to ensure you're fully prepared for this tenderly wild and spirit strengthening day._  _Photos of the venue _ ### ### What to Expect 🌸 **A Safe, Nurturing Space** : Step into a safe environment where you can fully express yourself without fear of judgment. Our skilled facilitators will guide you with care and compassion. 🌸 **Sharing Circles** : Be witnessed in your vulnerability and strength as you share your relationship with anger. Discover the healing power of being truly seen and supported by others on this journey. 🌸 **Movement & Sound** : Unlock the energy of anger through embodied movement practices and vocal expression. Whether it’s shouting, crying, or a silent scream, you’ll have space to release what’s been held inside. A soothing sound bath at the end will help you integrate this energy and find a deeper sense of peace and acceptance. 🌸 **Creative Art Therapy** : Through creative practices, you’ll channel your emotions into an intuitive image that symbolizes your sacred anger, allows you to access wisdom within and serves as a reminder to live courageously and authentically. 🌸 **Practical Tools for Everyday Life** : Leave with actionable tools and practices to help you regulate your emotions, honour your boundaries, and carry a feeling of liberation into your daily life. ### Why Attend? 🌺 **Emotional Liberation** : Shed what no longer supports your growth and step into a renewed sense of freedom and authenticity. 🌺 **Befriend Anger & Grief:** Move through anger and grief as gateways to self-discovery, inner strength, and personal growth. 🌺 **Re-ignite Your Power** : Challenge outdated narratives about anger and learn to stand unapologetically in your multi-coloured and light-filled wildness. 🌺 **Sisterhood and Connection** : Be part of a supportive, empowering community of womxn who are walking this path alongside you. Allow yourself to witness, be witnessed and uplift one another.  _Photos from the last Love Your Rage retreat with permission_ _Please note that for this specific retreat, there will be NO PHOTOGRAPHY taking place during the event in order to respect the comfort and privacy of everyone involved. _ #### ### Feedback on our events: > _ **“To all women, this is a wonderful experience which will enhance your being and lighten your soul” - Alexandria** _ > > _ **“This experience was everything I didn't know I needed and more.

This is why we recently made a movement-based short film about anger & women (click [here](https://filmfreeway.com/Seiein-LoveYourRage?fbclid=PAY2xjawIAnHJleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABpvBBnZEmxnVkhMSZNZzGT2ZE7c52HBynztzPteGHnIZry6rVY5aPRV2SzA_aem_XBnhb8Ozl0r0mHfBMdE4hg#ff_javascript) to learn more or [here](https://www.dancefilmmaking.com/film/seiein---love-your-rage?fbclid=PAY2xjawIAnRxleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABphFgT-8kX-1QFWYHluhGkBrSRPUvZChxz6n8p0T_5p4K4DSoLVOKMFAedQ_aem_NBSCDJ8OrmazgzNYwGqYZg) to watch the full 17-minute long film) which won an award at Cannes Film Festival last year. Through a compelling docu-fictional narrative, **SEIEIN: Love Your Rage ** delves into the societal pressures that often lead women-identifying individuals to suppress their anger, as well as into the transformative power that arises from embracing the complex and diverse colours of our emotions. The film unfolds in two realms: The collective unconscious where anger’s different facets and stages are expressed through raw embodied movement and dance; and a speculative present re-imagining what ‘tending’ for anger could look like as a conscious cultural practice. Besides the transformative potential of embracing anger, the larger project aims to touch upon **the complexities ** of the theme. For instance, the tension between the use of compassion to let go of anger, and the necessity to channel the same energy to fight for justice. We aim for the work to act as **a catalyst for inspiring dialogue, reflection and action ** around our personal and collective relationships with anger, in its most nuanced and mindful understanding. The Love Your Rage team has organically grown from this seed and aims to empower women to reconnect with their sacred fire on the journey towards emotional liberation.  | |||
| Love in Practice - A day retreat for couples | Sat, Oct 17, 9:00 AM UTC | Sensate Spa and Studios, The Garden, Northumbria Drive, Henleaze, Bristol, UK | 3mxkaoo5aff22 | Curator | Step away from the noise of everyday life and enter a space devoted to connection, reverence and love. This immersive, one day workshop invites couples to slow down, listen deeply, and rediscover the beauty of truly seeing and being seen by each other. Through guided practices, conscious communication, touch, movement and shared ritual, you’ll be given the opportunity to honour each other’s needs, desires, boundaries and longings with presence and care. Together you will: - Cultivate deeper emotional and physical connection - Learn practices for expressing desires with clarity and compassion. - Explore ways to appreciate and “worship” one another in everyday life. - Strengthen trust, intimacy and mutual understanding - Create space for authenticity, playfulness, tenderness and devotion. This workshop is designed for couples who don’t take each other for granted but who are willing to make space to explore intimacy and experience each other with renewed appreciation and openness. No previous experience is needed - only a willingness to arrive with curiosity, honesty and heart. **WHY GROUP EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING IS EFFECTIVE** Couples learn best when they can experience new ways of relating together. Talking about connection is very different from feeling, practicing and reflecting on it in a safe, guided space. Experiential exploration allows partners to move beyond old scripts and turn concepts like safety, trust, boundaries and desire into lived, embodied experiences and through this, we believe, real transformation is more likely to happen. We believe also that there can be valuable learning from hearing and witnessing other couples in their experience. **WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT** - No explicit sexual touch or nudity. All practices are clothed and guided. - A series of exercises (some involving non-sexual touch over clothes) only performed as a couple - Some group discussion - Food will not be provided. At lunchtime, people are welcome to bring food that can be shared as a group. - The venue has a small spa which is available for booking (as a two hour slot) after the workshop has ended. **MORE ABOUT ME AND MY WORK** I work with couples as a psychotherapist in private practice. You can find out more about my training, experience and the way I work on my website: [www.khpsychotherapybristol.co.uk](http://www.khpsychotherapybristol.co.uk/) | |||
| The Metamodern Academy: An Updated Masterclass in Metamodernism | Sun, Nov 29, 6:00 PM UTC | – | 3mxkaopu4dc22 | Curator | Chaos is a ladder. Do you have the courage to climb it? If you want to make sense of our turbulent times, and if you seek to monetize the madness, this course might be for you. If you’re smart enough. This masterclass is the ultimate metamodern experience, possibly in the entire universe. It’s the culmination of more than a decade and a half worth of groundbreaking theory and action in which your honorable (but slightly indecent) host and teacher [Emil Ejner Friis](https://substack.com/@metamoderna) will deliver an overwhelming cascade of fact and fiction—in the most dazzling manner imaginable. No AI-slop, all too human, guaranteed. Metamodernism is the overarching sense-making map that bridges the rational optimism of modernism with the critical perspectives of postmodernism and the nourishing enchantment of the premodern. In a world of empirical pessimism, a solid dose of theoretical optimism, delivered with an astounding sense of sincere irony, might just be what you need to make it to the next stage. Or at least make you a more captivating human being at any dinner conversation. This course features both completely new material and tried-and-tested fan favourites; from the Hanzi Freinacht books as well as unpublished writings. Some of the content is updated and refined versions of what has previously been developed in collaboration with Daniel Görtz (for the previous [Advanced Masterclass](https://dandelion.events/e/the-metamodern-academy)), and Robert Kelley Ayala ([The Simple 30-Step Leadership Program](https://dandelion.events/e/f8ip7)). All of this has received widespread acclaim over the years and we look forward to presenting all the new theories and ideas that have been developed in the meantime. Since the course contains material that former students might already be familiar with, those who’ve participated in our previous courses are eligible for a **whopping 50% discount**. If you send an email to [emil@metamoderna.org](mailto:emil@metamoderna.org) we’ll send you a discount code. You’re also eligible for a **50% discount** if you get a friend to join with you. But only if they behave. ### **HOW IT WORKS** The course runs for two hours every Sunday, beginning **November 29th at 6pm GMT (1pm Eastern, 10am Pacific, 19:00 Central European, 23:30 India)**, and ending February 21st with an uninhibited amount of confetti and fireworks. If you miss the live sessions, you can always watch the recordings. And to those who’re interested, there will be hang-out sessions at the end of each class. It is recommended that you are somewhat familiar with metamodernism beforehand (for instance, having read Hanzi Freinacht’s books or participated in the [Introduction Course](https://dandelion.events/e/v9avz) which will take place the previous four Sundays of November 2026) and that you commit significant time, concentration, and effort in order to benefit from the course. The course includes new and hitherto unpublished content—and includes thorough sneak-peeks on coming Hanzi books. The course material (articles, etc.) for each session is sent out weekly. Additionally, the masterclass offers great opportunities for networking and co-creating projects with the other participants. ### **PROGRAM:** We will start where the Introduction Course ended. #### **Week 1: The state of contemporary metamodernism and where we’re going (or not going)** - Why integral and political metamodernism failed so spectacularly - What’s the deal with all those meta-nazis and neo-regressives? - What are the political pressure points for real change in today’s world? #### **Week 2: An Introduction to The 6 Hidden Patterns** - Everything you need to know about the “metamemes” and their intricate relation to psychological, societal, and organizational development - Why these metameme patterns have stayed “hidden” for so long - Why art always comes first (and why ethics, sadly, always comes last) #### **Week 3: An Introduction to The 30 Steps of Transformative Leadership** - Why stage theories are unusable: They’re too true to be good! - How psychological, societal, and organizational development all follow the same patterns of growth and stagnation - How you can use the hidden patterns to transform your organization and unlock new paths of development and growth #### **Week 4: The Animist Metameme and the Wonder Frequency** - How raindance conquered the world - How animism gave humanity a competitive edge that wiped out the Neanderthals and the Woolly Mammoth (and how you can get some of dat edge, too) - How to reintegrate the Indigenous in a healthy, non-colonial way #### **Week 5: The Faustian Metameme and the Power Frequency** - The importance of listening to Heavy Metal - The subtle joy of praising Satan in daily life - How to avoid Balder’s trap #### **Week 6: The Postfaustian Metameme and the Oneness Frequency** - How the Roman Empire collapsed while the Roman Church survived (and what that can teach us about our current civilization) - Why the Axial Age thesis is the missing piece to the puzzle that makes Spiral Dynamics obsolete (and thereby makes you less of a freak in academia) - Why integralists keep falling back into this frequency (and why that makes them impotent and largely irrelevant in today’s world) #### **Week 7: The Modern Metameme and the Reason Frequency** - How memes, all the world’s best memes, enabled the rise of the west (and why being a white hardworking protestant had nothing to do with it) - Why it’s inevitable that modern society collapses (any why it’s probably for the better) - Are squares actually happy? #### **Week 8: The Postmodern Metameme and the Critique Frequency** - DON’T SKIP THIS STAGE! (trust me, it’s worse than skipping leg day) - Why you need more good pomo, and why that makes you more metamodern - Why postmodernism is the last actual stage of development #### **Week 9: The Metamodern Metameme and the Integration Frequency** - From the Enlightenment to The Enshittenment - Bad news: The Listening Society has been cancelled - Good news: The Meaning Crisis has also been cancelled #### **Week 10: Outcompeting Capitalism and the New Class Analysis** - The impending triumph of cultural capital (and why artists are so crucial for a metamodern transition) - Why you’ll need to watch more films and go to more art museums and concerts to beat capitalism - Test: Will you be a winner or loser in the post-capitalist economy of the future? #### **Week 11: The End of History and the Last Stage** - Why metamodernism isn’t really a stage, but the cultural equivalent of the singularity - However, first we need to go through a Postmodern Dark Age - And why all of this is going to be much more fun than it sounds #### **Week 12: Where the Attractors are Pulling Us** - A brief introduction to Attractors and how they can help you predict the future - How to stay sane in a world on the brink of madness - Kill your guru, find your meta-team, and all the tea in London will be yours ### **PRICING:** - Standard: €500 - Student or unemployed: €250 - Global South: €125 - Marriage Proposals: FREE - Mecenat: €600 (+€100 donation) ### **YOUR FACILITATOR:**  **Emil Ejner Friis** (b. 1981) is a historian and futurist, a theory artist and a teacher of metamodernism. He is also a co-founder of [Metamoderna](https://metamoderna.org/)and one of the writers behind Hanzi Freinacht. He has spent the past fifteen years trying to figure out how to create a listening society, a kinder and more evolved society that deeply cares for the happiness and emotional needs of every citizen. He has tried and failed at creating a metamodern political party, he has tried and failed at leading an army of children to revolt against the untold indignities of everyday life in late-stage capitalism, and he has just plainly failed at ever getting a normal bourgeois life by being drawn to all kinds of adventures to try and save the world from itself. He just moved to a remote tropical island where he spends his days swimming with dolphins and hanging out with bohemian artists, drinking wine and fiercely arguing about poetry, gazing at the sunset while weeping in the face of tragedy and bliss. When he’s not writing and theorizing, he’s conspiring with other metamodernly inclined hackers, hipsters, and hippies to outcompete modern society. He lives at the crossroads of fact and fiction, and to pay the rent he sells words, all the best words. Emil is a skilled and experienced speaker with a reputation of being entertaining and good at making complex ideas easier to digest. | |||
| The Metamodern Academy: An Introduction to Metamodernism | Sun, Nov 1, 6:00 PM UTC | – | 3mxkaopvuw322 | Curator | Metamodernism? The philosophy and culture emerging at the dawn of the singularity in which hackers, hippies, and hipsters meet and co-create. Stakes rise, potentials abound, but so do risks and pitfalls of this new cultural and economic landscape. Metamodernism marries critical thinking and ethical commitment to inner work and adult development, offering a framework for seeing what’s going on: for surviving, contributing, and maybe even thriving in worlds being born. Wonder what the hype is all about, but not in the mood for slogging through dense bricks full of highbrow parlance? Then this course is for you. In a compact and to-the-point fashion, [Emil Ejner Friis](https://substack.com/@metamoderna) (aka. Hanzi Freinacht) presents the basic concepts you need to know to take part in this wide and complex movement. This course is for anyone interested in getting a comprehensive introduction to metamodernism. You will finish the course understanding the relevance of stage theory, know how to distinguish metamodernism from postmodernism and integral theory, and how to apply the metamodern way of thinking to your life. The metamodern sensibility is one of sincere irony, of very serious playfulness—necessary to stay sane at the crossroads of fact and fiction. In that spirit, you are invited. ### **HOW IT WORKS** The course runs for two hours every Sunday, beginning **November 1st at 6pm GMT (10am Pacific, 1pm Eastern, 19:00 Central European, 23:30 India)**, and ending November 22nd. If you miss the live sessions, you can always watch the recordings. And to those who’re interested, there will be hang-out sessions at the end of each class. The masterclass offers great opportunities for networking and co-creating projects with the other participants. (If you're interested in continuing your metamodern studies, or if you're already familiar with the basics and want to learn some of the more advanced stuff, the **Updated Master Class in Metamodernism** begins once the introduction course ends November 29th. You can check out the masterclass [here](https://dandelion.events/e/o4hpy).) ### **PROGRAM:** #### **Week 1: What Metamodernism Is, and What It’s Not** - A brief overview of the field of metamodernism and the use of the term. - The Six Different “Metamodernisms”, and why it’s important to know the difference - The Difference Between Postmodernism and Metamodernism (and why most people can’t tell them apart) - The Difference Between Metamodernism and Integral Theory (and why you should care) #### **Week 2: Stage Theories** - Development, why it’s real (and how it’s real) and why it’s important - A very brief introduction to: Jean Piaget, Spiral Dynamics, Ken Wilber, Robert Kegan, Michael Common’s Model of Hierarchical complexity - How stage theories drive people crazy and actually make them evil - A better use of stage theories, and how not to be a jerk around them - Why everyone’s a closet stage theorist (often without knowing it) #### **Week 3: Hanzi Freinacht’s The Listening Society & Nordic Ideology** - Too long didn’t read? No problem, we got you covered. - Hipsters, Hackers, Hippies, and the Metamodern Aristocracy - The four dimensions of psychological developments and how it adds up to the effective value meme - The six forms of metamodern politics - How order, freedom, and equality evolve #### **Week 4: Is the World Becoming Metamodern?** - How a metamodern understanding can help you predict the future - What art can tell us about the future - Who are the people that will shape the future? - Personality test: Are you metamodern? - Q&A and final discussion ### **PRICING:** - Standard: €150 - Student or unemployed: €75 - Global South: €40 - Mecenat: €200 (+€50 donation) ### **YOUR FACILITATOR:**  **Emil Ejner Friis** (b. 1981) is a historian and futurist, a theory artist and a teacher of metamodernism.

| Mid Week Meditation (30 mins live, join from anywhere) | Wed, Oct 7, 12:00 PM UTC | – | 3mxkaorbtc622 | Curator | Take a thirty min pause to come and meditate in this live space together. Join from anywhere in the world. As we reach mid-week we can all benefit from this moment to recharge, recenter and reinvigorate. All are welcome. Especially… - Those who meditate alone each morning (and want the power of the group field) - Those who say they meditate but never get around to it - Those who wish they meditated - The deep feelers and the scatty ones - The optimisers and the deep resters Hosted by Amisha. Every Wednesday at _1pm London, 5am Los Angeles, 8am New York, 6.30pm Mumbai, 10pm Tokyo, 12am+1 Sydney _ _30 min meditation with optional space to say hi and hang out after_ _£10 Drop in _ _£30 for a full month _ “The meditations with Amisha are always so beautiful. They leave me feeling calmer, lighter and uplifted. I love having this anchor practice to look forward to every week.” Louise “There is something very special about meditating with Amisha. I feel that I am receiving a transmission from her lineage. Pure, simple and feminine. No gurus required!” Lisa “I absolutely enjoy the meditations with Amisha. I am always left with immense calmness and joy. There is something magical in gathering together and meditate as a group. I really like that the sessions are always a bit different, tapping into different aspects as we weave together through this rhythm. This makes the live calls really unique." Arina **Why Now? ** In the culture of the capitalist spiritual, the simple and most effective can get lost. The focus can be on big peak experiences. Often we know what supports the rhythm and helps but struggle to make time for it – or get easily distracted. As our phones continue to scramble our brains and attention spans, there is something extremely helpful about being pulled into a steady rhythm of simple practices that increase your capacity – supporting with anxiety, stress, overwhelm, grief, numbness, scatteredness – and igniting more creativity, energy, vision, intuition, presence. When we practice together we amplify the power of what we are doing, and you feel the strength of the field and how it brings you into coherence. At this time, it’s so vital that we calibrate our own frequency so that we can be present, responsible and joyful in these times. Rather than retreating we can find our way to contribute and create beauty in a world that is never not broken. It’s the slow, subtle practices that really hold us steady and allow space for growth and integration. **What will we do in the sessions?** Amisha offers a gentle and powerful meditation, there is always a theme to hold the practice, space to drop into stillness together and some of her signature energetic weaving. The practices include aspects of Yoga, Meditation, Pranayama, Mantra, Subtle Body Activations from ancient wisdom traditions in India. This is Amisha’s ancestral lineage as well as chosen path of practice. It’s all offered with that deep respect love and relationship. Many of these practices are also what you see repackaged as breathwork, biohacking, coaching techniques. These practices are offered with simplicity, and the power that it holds. Open to anyone, given with clear instructions. **Who is this hosted by?** Amisha Tala Oak is the author of Intuition and The Future Is Beautiful. She is the host of the globally acclaimed All That We Are podcast and has been offering these practices since 2013. Her ancestral lineages are of Hinduism and Jainism. She has studied deeply Kashmir Shivaism (classical tantra) and has done many yoga and meditation teacher trainings. She has held a one to one practice working with energy and sub conscious patterns since 2016. She has hosted retreats and workshops across the world including guiding pilgrimages in India and presenting at Bali Spirit Festival. She has spoken at TEDx, Unbox and Change Festival to name a few. Before this work she worked in politics and sustainable fashion. | |||
| Annual Gathering 2026 | Thu, Nov 26, 4:00 PM UTC | Purley Chase Centre, Purley Chase Lane, Mancetter, Atherstone, UK | 3mxkaot5ksx22 | Curator | ## 🌿 NVC Annual Gathering UK & Ireland 2026 **26–29 November | Purley Chase Centre** ## ### Come together This gathering exists because NVC cannot be lived in isolation. It takes relationship — and spaces where we are willing to be real, to practice, and to be changed by each other. As the team organising this year — Kirstin, Sarah-Jane, Bridget and Angela — we are holding the space and inviting the wider community to shape it with us. If Nonviolent Communication is something you are living with others or passing on, this is a place to meet others who are carrying similar questions, responsibilities, and tensions. * * * ### What this is A long weekend to: - reconnect with yourself and others - explore what’s alive in you now - practice NVC beyond ideas — in real relationship - bring attention to what is happening in NVC in the UK & Ireland and in the wider world - contribute what you care about We will co-create the programme using Open Space Technology. The content comes from us — from what feels most alive, relevant, and needed. Alongside learning and connection, we are interested in something deeper: Staying present when things are not smooth. Allowing rupture, difference, and not-knowing to be part of the space. Making room for grief — personal and collective — without rushing to resolve or fix. We trust that something is built through this: a quality of connection, reflection, and shared learning that continues beyond the gathering itself. * * * ### Who it's for This event is for people who are **sharing NVC in the world**. That could mean you are: - offering workshops grounded in NVC - bringing NVC into organisations or workplaces - holding a regular practice group - contributing to community spaces informed by NVC - living and applying NVC actively in your relationships You might be a certified trainer, long-time trainer, a certification candidate, or someone stepping more fully into sharing. We don’t set a fixed threshold — but we do expect that participants have a solid grounding in NVC and some lived experience of practicing it with others. You don’t need to arrive in any particular way. Just come as you are. * * * ### The space 📍 **Purley Chase Centre** [**https://www.purleychasecentre.org.uk/**](https://www.purleychasecentre.org.uk/) A simple, held environment with: - shared and private accommodation - indoor and outdoor spaces - multiple breakout rooms - nourishing meals prepared on site * * * ### Cost Sliding scale: **£210 – £550** We ask you to contribute at a level that supports both your reality and the sustainability of the gathering. Prices vary depending on accommodation. - Limited single rooms - Day tickets available for Saturday If cost is a barrier for you, please reach out to [annualgathering@nvcmatters.org.uk](mailto:annualgathering@nvcmatters.org.uk) to talk about that. * * * ### Why come Because this is one of the places where our community can meet itself. Not only to connect — but to see more clearly what we are doing, what we are carrying, and what might be emerging. There is something we build when we come together like this — not quickly, not always comfortably, and not always visibly. But it shapes how we practice, how we teach, and how we show up in the world. * * * ### Join us If something in you responds, we'd value you being part of this. ➡️ Book your place With care, Kirstin, Sarah-Jane, Bridget & Angela * * * ### Cancellations policy If you need to cancel, please let the annual gathering team know as soon as possible. You may wish to consider taking out an insurance policy to cover the risk of illness. In the event of you cancelling, you may like to offer your place to someone else - there are many people in our network who do not have the funds to attend such an event. Agreements: You (the participant) understand that, to support the viability of the event running and to honour the extra admin work of the team, we (the annual gathering team) will deduct £25 per person from any refunds that are made due to cancellation up until 6 weeks before the event start date. If you cancel between six and three weeks before the event start date, we will deduct £75 admin fee unless we fill your place. If your place is filled we will only deduct the £25 admin charge. If you cancel three weeks or less before the event, your fees won't be refunded unless we fill your place. In that instance we will only deduct the £25 admin charge. Note: If you have (for example) major health issues that you think might prevent you being able to come and you would like to book early to ensure a place, please discuss your situation with us before booking so that we can consider making allowances for you to the above agreements. ## | |||
| Psychedelic Integration Circle Online: Preparation & Integration | Tue, Dec 1, 6:30 PM UTC | – | 3mxkaotdyio22 | Curator | ## **A Monthly Online Space to Process, Reflect & Find Your Ground After Psychedelic & Expanded State Experiences** Have you recently had a psychedelic or altered-state experience that's left you with more questions than answers? Are you looking for a grounded, supportive space to process, reflect, and find your footing alongside others walking a similar path? Sometimes an experience opens something in us that everyday life doesn't quite have the language for. [Integration Circle Online](https://www.integrationcircle.online/) exists for exactly that moment: the after. A monthly drop-in space for people navigating psychedelic and expanded state experiences, the circle is run in partnership with **The Psychedelic Society** and is open to all. Whether you are newly curious or more experienced, whether your journey brought profound insight or left you unsettled and searching, you are welcome here. All psychedelic medicines and expanded states are held within the circle, including experiences arising through breathwork and meditation. There is no closed group, no ongoing commitment, and no expectation of where you should be in your process. Come once, or return whenever your journey calls for it. ### **What Happens in the Circle** Each session runs for two hours via online video call. The space is collaborative and participant-led. You might share something that's been sitting with you, ask a question, or simply be present and listen. All of it is valid. Experienced facilitators hold the relational and emotional safety of the group throughout, establishing clear ground rules around confidentiality, respect, and mutual care at the start of every session. Cameras remain on to support a genuine sense of presence and connection. ### **Our Intention** To offer a safe, confidential, trauma-informed space where insight, healing, and repair can happen in relationship, not in isolation, and at a pace that honours each person's own nervous system. The circle is not therapy. It offers something equally valuable: skilled, boundaried facilitation, the wisdom of shared experience, and the quiet power of being truly witnessed. ### **Is This the Right Space for You?** Group settings aren't the right fit for everyone at every stage of integration, and we take that seriously. Before booking, we invite you to read through our readiness questions. They're there to help you feel confident that this space is right for you, right now. 👉 [integrationcircle.online/monthly-integration-circle](https://www.integrationcircle.online/monthly-integration-circle) If anything gives you pause, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're glad to talk things through and explore what might serve you best. 📧 [support@integrationcircle.online](mailto:support@integrationcircle.online) If you have any access needs or anything else that would help you attend safely, please let us know. We are committed to making this space genuinely accessible and welcoming for everyone. ### **Details** 📅 First Tuesday of each month 🕡 18:30–20:30 GMT 💻 Online via video call 🎟 Single sessions available, with discounts for blocks of 3 or 6 _Out of care for the group, late entry is not possible after 18:40. Please arrive on time._ ### **ABOUT INTEGRATION CIRCLE ONLINE**  We hope TOPIC can be an ongoing resource for your psychedelic preparation and integration. We are a trauma-informed psychedelic circle, offering peer support and a sharing circle with the aim of supporting the integration of expanded states into our lives in a way that is helpful and meaningful to us. We invite insight, healing and repair to happen in relationship and at a pace determined by each person’s nervous system capacity. As our community builds, we hope to offer you a space where you can reflect on your own journey and that of your peers from a place of comfort and security. ‘Psychedelic’ means ‘mind-manifesting’. The group will focus on experiences induced by use of psychedelics, but meditation, breath-work, and other, sometimes spontaneous, processes can also induce these states. The group does not offer therapy. It is simply a safe, confidential space for you to share your experiences or hear from others if you are considering whether use of psychedelics is right for you. We recognise the positive potential of the use of psychedelics, but as a group will work within the law, so we ask that you don’t turn up under the influence of substances and that you don’t take psychedelics in the session. We will also ask you not to share information about illegal psychedelic services. ## YOUR FACILITATORS ### **Kathryn Osborne**  Kathryn (Kathy) Osborne is an experienced Relational Psychotherapist, Clinical Supervisor and Yoga Therapist for Mental Health (Trauma Informed.).

As a 57year old woman and cancer survivor, she is personally interested in exploring the myths, archetypes, prejudices and challenges surrounding post-menopausal women.

Her career began as a mental health nurse, working in inpatient, intensive care, and acute settings before moving into community-based roles within crisis day hospitals and acute community teams.

Her experience spans medical and intensive care trauma, as well as trauma within the veteran, paramedic, and fire service communities. She currently works in a specialist NHS trauma service, focusing on developmental trauma and supporting refugees and people seeking asylum.Jo is a professional member of the Institute of Psychedelic Therapy and is completing their two-year Depth Relational Process Training, during which she has gained both personal and professional experience of non-ordinary states of consciousness.

Her work is grounded in over twenty years of experience with migrants and refugees across NGOs, education, and community-based services.

Vivi creates spaces where people feel safe, seen, and able to reconnect with their inner resources. Her professional interests include the grief and complexity of displacement, as well as the lived experiences of mixed-heritage and racial identity—how they shape belonging, self-understanding, and our ways of being in the world. She has a growing interest in non-ordinary states of consciousness and is currently developing her work around preparation and integration, particularly in the context of psychedelic experiences. She approaches this area with care, curiosity, and respect for its potential to support deep personal process when held in a safe and relational way.

For over 30 years, she has worked with individuals and couples from around the world through my private practice, nestled in the peaceful Herefordshire countryside. Her own healing journey is inseparable from her work, as she believes that true therapeutic presence comes from a place of personal growth and deep self-awareness. For her, the spiritual journey and the process of healing trauma are not separate paths but deeply intertwined, unfolding together in the pursuit of wholeness and inner transformation.. ### | |||

We will also ask you not to share information about illegal psychedelic services. ## YOUR FACILITATORS ### **Kathryn Osborne**  Kathryn (Kathy) Osborne is an experienced Relational Psychotherapist, Clinical Supervisor and Yoga Therapist for Mental Health (Trauma Informed.).

As a 57year old woman and cancer survivor, she is personally interested in exploring the myths, archetypes, prejudices and challenges surrounding post-menopausal women. In a world obsessed with staying young, she feels a strong need to challenge her own preconceptions around ageing and approach this new chapter with the reverence and responsibility it brings. ### Jo Delehay  Jo is a psychotherapist, lecturer, trainer, and supervisor with over thirty years of experience in mental health. Her career began as a mental health nurse, working in inpatient, intensive care, and acute settings before moving into community-based roles within crisis day hospitals and acute community teams.

Her experience spans medical and intensive care trauma, as well as trauma within the veteran, paramedic, and fire service communities. She currently works in a specialist NHS trauma service, focusing on developmental trauma and supporting refugees and people seeking asylum.Jo is a professional member of the Institute of Psychedelic Therapy and is completing their two-year Depth Relational Process Training, during which she has gained both personal and professional experience of non-ordinary states of consciousness. This has deepened her understanding of how to support and integrate these processes with care and in safe relational ways. ### **Viviane**  Viviane (Vivi) is a relational psychotherapist in private practice in London. Her work is grounded in over twenty years of experience with migrants and refugees across NGOs, education, and community-based services. She holds MAs in Refugee Studies and International Development, and her approach is shaped by a long-standing commitment to social justice, cultural sensitivity, and the healing potential of relational depth. Vivi creates spaces where people feel safe, seen, and able to reconnect with their inner resources. Her professional interests include the grief and complexity of displacement, as well as the lived experiences of mixed-heritage and racial identity—how they shape belonging, self-understanding, and our ways of being in the world. She has a growing interest in non-ordinary states of consciousness and is currently developing her work around preparation and integration, particularly in the context of psychedelic experiences. She approaches this area with care, curiosity, and respect for its potential to support deep personal process when held in a safe and relational way. Vivi is a professional member of the Institute of Psychedelic Therapy and is currently completing their two-year Depth Relational Process training. In addition to her private practice, she facilitates group work for refugees within an organisation based in East London. ### Tiph Fedor  Thip is a registered Counsellor and Compassionate Inquiry Practitioner, Mentor, and Facilitator, as well as an Integrative Psychedelic Therapist, registered with the Institute of Psychedelic Therapy.

For over 30 years, she has worked with individuals and couples from around the world through my private practice, nestled in the peaceful Herefordshire countryside. Her own healing journey is inseparable from her work, as she believes that true therapeutic presence comes from a place of personal growth and deep self-awareness. For her, the spiritual journey and the process of healing trauma are not separate paths but deeply intertwined, unfolding together in the pursuit of wholeness and inner transformation.. ### | |||
| Grief Honouring Rituals | Sun, Sep 13, 8:30 AM UTC | Sladebank Woods, Summer Crescent, Stroud, UK | 3mxkaotpdy722 | Curator | **Honouring Grief - A Three Month Group in Stroud ** We will gather once a month for a half day in September, October and November, immersed in nature in Sladebank Woods, creating a space to honour the different kinds of grief we each carry. **Community in Grief** This group offers a space where grief is welcomed. When we come together in community, we remember that we are connected, and the village can hold more than any of us singularly can alone. Over the course of three months, we will move gently through guided rituals to honour grief and love including offerings to earth, water and fire, storytelling, writing and witnessing. Everything is guided as an invitation, with space for you to bring yourself exactly as you are and find out how each ritual resonates and supports your journey with your grief. We value every participant for who you are and the story you bring. Grief can arise from many places: death, endings, ancestral pain, unmet love, ecological loss, and the parts of ourselves we've forgotten. All forms of grief are welcome here, whether recent, long-held or difficult to name. We’ll gather as a small held group once a month for three months on Sunday mornings (9:30am–1pm) in Sladebank Woods. ● Sunday 13th September ● Sunday 11th October ● Sunday 15th November As this is a shared three-month journey, we ask that you attend all three dates. Staying with the same group allows for trust, continuity and a deeper sense of belonging that support this work. Before the group begins, you’ll receive a short welcome questionnaire and have the option of a one-to-one call. **This space may be for you if you:** ● have carried grief quietly ● feel there hasn’t been space or permission to grieve ● want somewhere you don’t have to explain or justify how you feel ● long to be witnessed, rather than advised or fixed ● are holding something that feels too much to carry alone ● feel a sense of emptiness or loss you can’t quite name ● want to remember how grief and love live side by side **What to expect** Grief Honouring Rituals is an invitation to come together with others exactly as you are, without any mask, whatever you are holding. Each gathering lasts around 3.5 hours and follows a gentle arc structure: **Arrival** _Gathering together in the Sladebank Woods roundhouse and outside (further details to be shared prior to each ritual)_ **Welcome and grounding** _Introductions and simple practices to help us settle and arrive, such as gentle movement, breath and guided reflection_ **Meeting what’s here** _Guided ways to connect with your grief in your own way and timing_ **Shared ritual** _Intentional communal ritual practices to express grief and be witnessed together. Each monthly gathering will be shaped by the season, the land and the group itself_ **Integration** _Time to reflect, share if you wish, or simply notice what’s shifted_ **Closing** _Preparing to return to daily life with care and support_ By doing this together, we no longer have to carry grief through endurance and isolation. Our hearts begin to soften and open. We learn that we can actually hold this - the love, the loss, the endings and beginnings. This is not therapy. It’s not performance. It’s not a place to fix or be fixed. This is a space to come as you are and to be met there. A space to listen and be with grief in community. To remember that grief is an expression of love, and that no part of our humanity was ever meant to be walked alone. The rituals are informed by Veronica and Nika’s own lived experiences walking with grief, alongside their training in Grief Rituals Leadership with Francis Weller. If something in you recognises the need for a space like this, you are warmly welcome. Kindly note, tickets are non-refundable. _About the facilitators_ **Nika Shoot** (Veronika Shoot) is a multifaceted artist, pianist and somatic facilitator whose work integrates music, energy work and embodied practices into innovative approaches to healing and human expression. This body of work grew out of her early training and performing life as a concert pianist. Nika’s passion lies in dissolving the boundaries between different modalities, drawing from her life, professional training and lived experience, including energy work, somatic exploration, yoga, breathwork, sound healing and shamanic integration. She has also spent time in India studying in traditional ashram settings and living with communities in the Peruvian Amazon, experiences that have quietly informed the depth and sensitivity of her work. Working at the meeting point of music, movement, breath and energy, she supports people back into connection with their bodies, their emotional landscape and their innate aliveness, meeting each person where they are. She has developed an intuitive somatic flow approach to yoga, grounded in nervous system care and embodied awareness. Her sessions are supported by the Earth’s natural grounding frequencies, creating a subtle yet powerful environment for restoration, cellular renewal and energetic balance. In addition to her classical music background, Nika holds space for music as a devotional and healing practice, whether through Kirtan, medicine music, classical performance or improvisation. She also facilitates grief-honouring spaces and rituals, supporting individuals and groups to meet grief with presence, care and community. Her work in these areas serves to bring people together, offering a shared experience of connection and presence. veronikashoot@thebalancedartist.org **Veronica** (Veronica Frances) is a Grief Practitioner and Breathwork Facilitator. Veronica supports people in their journey with grief, whether recent or long-held. In her private practice, she accompanies people in the grieving process with talk-based support - work she came to through her personal experience following the loss of her sister, her professional training, and what she saw was missing and needed in mainstream support. She also facilitates breathwork ceremonies, having trained with Steph Magenta of Seven Directions. Veronica sees this work not just as individual healing but about brings us to right relationship with ourselves, those around us and the wider web of life. As we grow our capacity to grieve, we learn how to keep our hearts open to love, and this is what the world needs. Now based in Stroud, Veronica carries a deep connection to Peru and Mexico, where she studied with the Shipibo tradition and previously lived. www.veronicafrances.co.uk | |||
| Yoga Foundations — 6-Week Learning Cycle for Beginners & Returners | Wed, Sep 16, 5:15 PM UTC | St Anne's House – Community And Creative Hub, Saint Anne's Road, Brislington, Bristol, UK | 3mxkaovexg622 | Curator | # 🧘 Yoga Foundations — 6-Week Cycle _(formerly Yoga for Beginners at Yogasara)_ 📍 **St Anne’s House, Brislington (BS4)** 🗓 **Wednesdays, 6.15–7.15pm** 🌿 **16 September–21 October 2026** **A place to begin yoga, and somewhere to keep coming back to.** After ten years of teaching Yoga for Beginners at Yogasara, I’m continuing the course at St Anne’s House with a new structure. Yoga Foundations now runs throughout the year in **six-week cycles, with a break between each one**. You can start as a complete beginner, stay for the next cycle, take a break or come back later. Each cycle has a different **asana (posture) focus**, while we continue to explore breath, guided meditation and some of the wider teachings and practices of yoga. This SEPTEMBER- October cycle focuses on **standing postures, Warriors, balances and more**. The next cycle (Nov- Dec ) explores the postures and transitions of **Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation)**. ### More than the postures Yoga is a vast tradition and there is far more to it than asana. I offer an accessible introduction to some of the practices, principles and traditional maps that I’ve found useful, and explore how yoga can inform everyday life. I also bring a **systemic lens** to my teaching. Like nature, body, breath, mind, relationships and environment are interconnected. Each part influences the whole. And if you simply want to move, build strength and mobility and learn yoga postures, **you are equally welcome**. ### Why 6-week cycles? We learn and practise together, then pause. The break gives time for the practice to settle, to integrate what you’ve learned and notice what stays with you before returning. **Learn. Practise. Integrate. Return.** ### About Katie I’m **Katie Despres** , a Senior Yoga Teacher with over 1,500 hours of training and a Family & Systemic Constellations Facilitator. I’ve taught beginners for ten years. My teaching is supportive, practical and down-to-earth, with space to ask questions and understand what you’re doing rather than simply trying to keep up. ### Why St Anne’s House? • Free on-site parking, including accessible spaces • Ground-floor studio with step-free access • **Bristol Community Sauna & cold plunge on site** • Café and community spaces ### Dates **16 September–21 October** Standing postures, Warriors & Balance **Next cycle: 4 November–16 December** Surya Namaskar- Sun Salutation _No class 9 December_ 📍 St Anne’s House, BS4 🗓 Wednesdays, 6.15–7.15pm 👉 **Book your place — spaces limited** ### | |||
| Chepstow -Family & Systemic Constellations Circle | Sat, Nov 28, 2:00 PM UTC | Stone Rock Lodge, Upper Church Street, Chepstow, UK | 3mxkaovhnpi22 | Curator | ## Family & Systemic Constellations – Chepstow Bi-monthly Saturday Morning Circle A bi-monthly Saturday morning constellation circle offering a grounded, supportive space to explore family patterns, relationships, and inherited dynamics through embodied, systemic work. These circles are suitable both for people new to constellation work and those who wish to attend regularly. No previous experience is needed. ### Dates Saturday 10 October 2026- 10:00am–1:00pm Saturday 28 November 2026 - 2.00-5.00pm These circles run bi-monthly, with a summer pause. ### Location Stone Rock Lodge, Chepstow ## What are Family / Systemic Constellations? Family or Systemic Constellations is an experiential therapeutic approach developed by **Bert Hellinger** , drawing on family therapy, systemic thinking, and group dynamics. The work explores how unresolved experiences and patterns within our family systems can continue to influence our relationships, work, health, and sense of belonging, often without our conscious awareness. These influences may show up as repeating dynamics, emotional burdens, or a sense of being stuck. Rather than talking _about_ problems, constellation work allows us to see and feel the wider system we are part of. In a group setting, participants may be invited to act as representatives for people, roles, or elements within a family or life situation. Through this embodied process, hidden dynamics can become visible, allowing new understanding, movement, and relief to emerge. This is not roleplay, and no belief or prior knowledge is required. ## How the Circle Works Each circle includes: - Arrival, settling, and a short grounding or meditation - Simple group exercises to practise representing and attuning to the field - **Two constellations** - Time for reflection and integration - Closing circle At each session, **anyone attending is welcome to put their name forward** if they would like to work with a personal or professional issue. Constellations are **chosen on the day** , guided by what feels most appropriate for the group and the wider field. Not everyone who puts their name forward will necessarily have their own constellation. All roles within the process are equally valued. ## Ways to Take Part **Issue holder** You may bring a theme or situation you would like to explore. Two constellations will take place each morning. **Representative** You may be invited to stand in for people, roles, or elements within another person’s constellation. Many people find this role deeply insightful, and sometimes more impactful than having their own constellation. **Witness** You can also attend simply holding presence within the group. Even from this role, people often recognise parallels and gain clarity for their own lives. You do not need to bring an issue to attend. ## Why Attend Regularly? Constellation work often unfolds over time. Attending regularly allows you to: - deepen your embodied understanding of systemic patterns - integrate insights gently between sessions - experience different roles within the field - build continuity and trust within the group Each circle responds to who is present and what is alive on the day. ## About Katie Katie Despres is a Family and Systemic Constellations Facilitator and Senior Yoga Teacher based in Bristol. She trained extensively with the Centre for Systemic Constellations, including advanced study in Couples & Intimate Systems. Her background includes psychology, a previous career in executive recruitment, and over a decade of embodied practice through yoga and meditation. Katie’s approach is grounded, relational, and down-to-earth. She works with people who want depth without dogma, and insight that can be applied in everyday life. This Chepstow circle marks a personal return to the Wye Valley, where Katie spent part of her childhood and where her connection to land, family history, and this work was first shaped. ## Staying After the Circle Stone Rock Lodge offers an award-winning pizza restaurant, bar, and wood-fired sauna. Participants are warmly invited to stay on after the circle for lunch or sauna time, subject to availability. Details will be shared closer to each date. ## Tickets & Pricing - **£35 early bird** (limited number for each date) - **£45 standard** - **£35 concession ( Limited for each date)** - **Stone Rock Lodge Member ( contact for discount code)** This is a mixed-role constellation circle. Some participants may work with a personal issue, while others take part as representatives or witnesses. All roles are valued and can offer meaningful insight. If cost is a barrier, please get in touch. ## Practical Information - No previous experience needed - Wear comfortable clothes you can move in - Tea and light refreshments provided If you can’t make one of these dates but would like to hear about future Chepstow circles, please contact Katie to be added to the mailing list. | |||
| Bristol Monthly Family & Systemic Constellation Circle | Thu, Dec 17, 6:15 PM UTC | Faithspace, Prewett Street, Redcliffe, Bristol, UK | 3mxkaovlzbk22 | Curator | ## 📅 2026 Dates 🕕 **Thursday evenings 6:15 – 9:15/30pm at FaithSpace, Redcliffe Methodist Church on Prewett Street, Bristol, BS1 6P** **21st May** **18th June** **16th July** **17th September** **15th October** **19th November** **17th December** You’re welcome to join a single circle, or come regularly and build a deeper connection with the work. ## What is Family Constellations? Family & Systemic Constellations were developed by **Bert Hellinger**. They offer a way of looking beneath the surface of our difficulties — revealing hidden family and ancestral patterns that quietly influence our present-day lives. Rather than analysing or telling stories, constellations open up a space of direct experience. Someone brings an issue or question, other people step in to represent members of their family system, and together we begin to see what has been hidden. Often, what emerges is a **f** resh perspective, more space inside, and the possibility of moving through life with greater ease and flow. If you’re new, you might like to watch Netflix’s _Another Self_ What happens at a Circle? - Arrival and settling together - A short exercise to build safety and connection - **Two constellations each evening** (names drawn on the night) - Closing circle You don’t need to bring an issue to take part. As a **Representative** , you may step into the place of a family member, ancestor, or an archetype such as Love, Fear, or Freedom. Many people say their most powerful experiences come through representing rather than being the issue-holder. ### Why come regularly? Constellation work is not usually a one-off. Like therapy or yoga, its effects tend to unfold over time, as movements integrate and new possibilities quietly take root. This work is **systemic**. We don’t only do it for ourselves. When something shifts in one part of a system, it can affect the wider whole, families, relationships, and even those who are not present or aware that the work is happening. Returning regularly supports **continuity** , **commitment** , and **community** , and helps create a stable field in which deeper movements can emerge over time. Attending regularly as a **Representative** allows you to: learn through many different stories and systems experience the work directly in your body, not just cognitively notice subtle shifts unfolding in your own life over time build trust and connection within a consistent group contribute to movements that may support change beyond the room, within your wider systems You are welcome to come once, return occasionally, or attend regularly. There is no right or wrong way to engage. For those who feel drawn to commit more consistently, multi-session passes are available at a reduced rate. * * * ### 🎟 Tickets Representative – £35 Concession Representative – £25 (limited availability) Multi-session passes: 5 sessions for £150 10 sessions for £300 ## Practical bits No experience needed. Wear comfy clothes; water/tea and light snacks provided. We keep a held, confidential space. Accessibility or affordability questions? Please reach out. ## About Katie Hello, I’m Katie. I trained to advanced level with the Centre for Systemic Constellations **(CSC)**, including Couples & Intimate Systems. Before this work, I spent years in the corporate world as a headhunter in London. I later trained as a coach and yoga teacher, and for over a decade I’ve been teaching yoga in Bristol. I also come from a large, blended family. I’m both a mother and a step-mother, and have lived through the complexities of inter-racial marriage, divorce, and all the challenges and gifts that family systems bring. These experiences, alongside my professional training, mean I meet people with empathy and real-life understanding. People often describe me as direct, warm, and practical. My circles are not about performance or theory — they’re a space where we can sit together honestly, and allow what wants to be seen to emerge. 📺 Curious?

| SELF STUDY: The dance between Innerwork and Outerwork | – | – | 3mxkaox4mdt22 | Curator |  Hello!! After we've learned a bit of NVC How does that actually translate into wider systemic change? 01 I’m really interested in getting some shared reality about what we mean by Inner work. And what we mean by outer work. NVC is a really good example of a practice that actually moves between inner work and outer work. Sometimes we need to focus more on outer work; act in solidarity, support others, speak up about things, collaborate, scale up. Sometimes we need to focus on inner work; transform enemy images, heal, take time in nature, breathe, bring self empathy. We will ask some clarifying questions to help us discern between the two. 02 We'll then look at theory of change. This is an organizational development term which organizations use to get clear, to get shared reality on how they are going to get from A to B, so that everyone's on the same page. The theory of change of NVC is actually quite complex. So we'll explore that. 03 Then we're going to put this into practice. How we can make that dance between inner work and outer work and we're going to do that by looking at two polarizing opinions and you can do this practice with any polarizing opinion. So you'll go away with a somatic practice you can do in your groups. So we're doing this to really explore how we can scale up? How can we more systematically move Beyond either/ or and how we can really test NVC to its limits and gain some vocabulary about how to talk about it. 04 Finally, Donella Meadow's 12 leverage points which help us discern where we can intervene in our groups, and systems, and Recap So if you are ready to dive in, let's go Here is a [short video about what you'll do.](https://youtu.be/FyUY-bM4sbs) **Curriculum** 01 What is inner work?

| NVC & Understanding Power ONLINE | Sat, Nov 14, 2:00 PM UTC | – | 3mxkap2gkuf22 | Curator | This workshop runs ONLINE over Saturday and Sunday 2-5pm UK time **A 6-hour experiential training for navigating difference, tension and power with greater awareness, choice and self-connection.** NVC offers powerful practices for staying connected to ourselves and others when conversations become difficult. But what happens when the people in a conversation do not have equal power? When hierarchy, identity, privilege, exclusion, institutional authority or access to resources shape what can be said, heard or decided? **Power affects communication — and communication can also reproduce or transform power.** Here are the aims of the day - To strengthen the foundations of your NVC practice - To increase understanding of power and how it impacts communication and choice - To remain grounded and self connected when navigating tension and difference. We will: - Create a strong container - Create shared reality around understanding power, using various tools and frameworks - [Steven Lukes - 3 dimensions of power](https://voidnetwork.gr/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Power-A-Radical-View-Steven-Lukes.pdf) - [Miki Kashtan's Scarcity, Separation, Powerlessness](https://accidentalgods.life/miki-kashtan/) (and their antidotes) framing - [Pathways to Liberation matrix](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KPIvCD_XIGThKEsqZ-qKQwY0Op5pSe_r7uqksetW5FQ/edit?gid=10#gid=10) - increase somatic self-empathy - Resource ourselves and explore options for challenging conversations - Practice giving and receiving feedback within different power dynamics - Body centred, Self-Empathy and Roleplays for exploring situations in which power plays out All this with a compassionate lens! The session will involve reflection, discussion, practice and role play. You can watch a short video about this session [here.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzAtmhixUtw) Here is a testimonial from a participant _I’ve done other workshops addressing equality, diversity, inclusion, racism and privilege, but what made this one stand out – and, I think, made it effective – was regularly returning to our somatic and emotional responses and seeing these as important sources of information. I have sometimes felt frozen and afraid of ‘getting it wrong’ when approaching privilege from a cerebral place and the focus on my body helped me to begin to understand a different way of doing this work.

| Bridge The Beyond | Fri, Oct 23, 1:00 PM UTC | Amsterdam, Netherlands | 3mxkap3ccyz22 | Curator | _A retreat that focuses on ‘the bridge’_ _between psychedelic insight and lived experience._ A trauma informed three-day immersion inviting you to _slow down, listen inward, and create space for what emerges_. The retreat is designed to bridge profound inner experiences with lasting integration. Facilitated by accredited psychotherapists and psychologists trained with MAPS, who bring expertise in IFS, somatic inquiry, with experience supporting both therapeutic and ceremonial work, the retreat is grounded in trauma-informed practice, relational safety, and careful integration. This thoughtfully curated retreat is tailored for individuals seeking personal insight, emotional exploration, and deeper connection. Rooted in safety and depth, while also allowing room for creativity, good food, music, connection, and quiet moments of privacy and reflection. _ **Why We Created This Retreat** _ Through years of working within both therapeutic and ceremonial settings, we have witnessed the profound potential of psychedelic work, but also the importance of approaching these experiences with care, preparation, ethical facilitation, and meaningful integration. We created Bridge the Beyond from a shared belief that healing and insight are not found solely within the experience itself, but in how those experiences are understood, embodied, and woven back into everyday life. Our intention is to offer a space where depth, curiosity, and exploration can unfold within a carefully held environment. This retreat may be supportive for those who are: - Navigating a life transition or period of uncertainty - Feeling stuck in recurring patterns, behaviours, or relationships - Seeking greater connection with themselves, others, or a sense of meaning and purpose - Looking to deepen self-awareness and explore their inner world within a carefully held environment - Processing grief, loss, or significant life changes Experiencing burnout, disconnection, or a feeling that something in life needs attention - Interested in approaching psychedelic work within a trauma-informed, relational, and ethically grounded setting - Curious about how insight can be integrated into everyday life through embodiment and meaningful change   The retreat takes place within a group of no more than eight participants, with each person having their own private room. The setting unfolds within a beautiful centuries-old farmhouse nestled in the North Holland Dune Reserve, close to the sea and easily reachable from Amsterdam. The space includes a Finnish sauna, outdoor shower, plunge pool, and quiet natural surroundings designed to support rest, reflection, and integration. .jpg)  I **ncludes:** **Pre-retreat** - Careful screening session - 1:1 preparation session (option of more if needed) - Group preparation calls **The immersion** - 3-day & 2-night residential retreat - Private Accommodation and meals **The ceremonies** - Legally sourced psilocybin truffles - 2 x Guided ceremonies with experienced facilitators **Post-retreat integration** - Group integration call - 1:1 session - Monthly integration circle & community  .jpeg) _Check out the websites _ [https://liminalpath.nl/bridge-the-beyond-retreat/](https://liminalpath.nl/bridge-the-beyond-retreat/) _ _ _ _[_https://rebeccaoterotherapy.com_](https://rebeccaoterotherapy.com)[_ _](https://rebeccaoterotherapy.com/retreatsoct) CURIOSITY Compassionate observation of what emerges through the experience, thoughts, emotions, memories, patterns, and moments of insight. EMBODIMENT Allowing insight to settle and take root through the body. Developing a deeper relationship with yourself, your nervous system, and the ways meaningful change unfolds over time. INTEGRATION Integration is the ongoing process of translating insight into daily life. Rather than a single moment, it continues to unfold through reflection, practice, relationships, and time. Music & Creativity Taking you through a creative journey is central to how we work. Music acts as a guide throughout the process, supporting movement, emotion, reflection, and release.There are moments of stillness, reflection, emotional depth, and gentle movement through different inner states. The musical arc is carefully curated and intentional, designed to hold and support you as you move through your own experience. Alongside this, we invite gentle forms of creative exploration through movement, artmaking, imagination and expression, offering ways to engage with what emerges beyond words. Food & Nourishment Food is an important part of the retreat experience. Meals are thoughtfully prepared to support grounding, nourishment, restoration, and connection throughout the weekend. Our chef brings extensive experience working in restaurants and within retreat environments, lovingly creating dishes that are both nourishing and full of character, balancing taste and comfort. Shared meals become part of the rhythm of the weekend: moments to land, reconnect, reflect, and return to the body. Facilitators  **Rebecca Otero Smith** MBACP · Integrative Psychotherapist (Psychodynamic & Humanistic) · MAPS-trained (MDMA-AT) Rebecca is a UK-trained integrative psychotherapist working at the intersection of trauma-informed therapy, somatic IFS and non-ordinary states of consciousness.

Illi Adato SQHP International Systemic, Organisational & Family Constellations Facilitator, Member of ISCA | Hypnotherapy Senior Member of GHR (UK) & Member of IHF (USA) | Zen Counselling | Advanced NLP Therapeutic Specialist™ | Systemic Ritual® Facilitator | Recognised as Master Constellator by Constellators International In Illi’s words: “I began my journey in the therapeutic world as a Hypnotherapist, using trance-assisted processes when working through challenges with my clients, utilizing the subconscious realm with the power of visualization for change-work, deep healing, and generative or optimization purposes. Hypnosis work used therapeutically is profound and deeply penetrating with clear and useful benefits, and yet, there was something acutely missing… This sense of ‘lacking’ was transformed once a unique ‘marriage’ occurred combining my two major therapeutic skills; facilitation of Systemic & Family Constellations and Hypnotherapy. That combination felt like a natural way to work and be of service, and so HypnoConstellations™ was born“. Ready to Evolve Your Practice?

I feel so much lighter, happier and so much more sure of myself. Jess is a beautiful person who supported me through the workshop exercises. I felt safe to let go and completely be there for myself."_ Pauline _"I attended the Conscious Relationship Workshop. It’s my second workshop facilitated by Jess. I am honoured to have received Jess’ spiritual gifts on both occasions. My limiting beliefs have shifted, which has led to me living more authentically. As a result my interpersonal relationships have improved dramatically. The heart opening sensual ritual and the earth bed ceremony have enabled me to tune into my body and for the first time in my life I feel seen, loved and free! I’m so blessed to have been able to work with Jess. A gazillion thanks Jess."_ Stella _"On the first day I was ashamed of my (sexual) energy and I have learnt it's a source of creativitiy and it can be shared in a beautiful way. I was able to release a lot of shame and on the second day I was able to fill into my joy using the same activities. There was a chance to process old traumas with an ex lover and there was a lot of anger and had no idea how this had affected me in over so many years and to be able to release this that is no longer serving me. On the last day I received a blessing in the love healing chamber to be treated and respected in the divine moment in my sacred masculine."_ Rob Nugen, Connection Coach For Men Are you ready to meet yourself in divine love from the healthy masculine and feminine?

KAP is a direct energy transmission of Raw Kundalini and non dual states of Consciousness. This is a downward descending energy that clears and cleans your energetic field through your chakras. It raises your frequency so that negative energies are forced to detach and be processed. The energy stirred is your own life force energy which in turn may activate your own Kundalini awakening process. This is a physical experience of energetic movement within your physical body. Meaning that your physical body will respond in cathartic release or kriya (movements or changes caused by a spiritual practice) that can be seen and felt. It feels amazing and natural. Please see videos for examples of people in process. This video explains more…. <oembed url="https://youtu.be/HTeyzPokCuk"></oembed> Like reiki and healing modalities, KAP is received passively by the recipient with no skills or experience required. KAP is not part of a religion and requires no faith at all to work. Shakti energy is very much present in this transmission, therefore it has an innate intelligence to provide the upgrades only right for the person at that time of their lives and conditions. It will never give any more or less than the person needs. You receive exactly what you need with every session in a steadily increasing process. The ‘process’ continues for a few days after the session. Integrating this energy creates gentle shifts to benefit you in all areas of your life including an awareness and intuition in relationships, physical and mental wellbeing, diet and health choices. KAP has a profound effect on the brain, a rewiring occurs creating shifts in self belief, intuition, psychic abilities, perspective and recovery. KAP has as show to have a fantastic improvement in those with chronic depression and PTSD and a traumatic history. Although not it's primary goal, which is the raising and connection of human consciousness, it can have healing effects on many. KAP has a very positive effect on those living with Kundalini Syndrome, an uncomfortable condition caused by will-power practices or sometime trauma. KAP will help your body to catch up and be better evolved to hold the increased energetic activity you feel. You will be put back in control of your enhanced spiritual development.

| Fool Expression: Discover and Learn How To Express the Different Parts Within You | Fri, Nov 6, 7:45 PM UTC | Open House Hackney, Prince Edward Road, London, UK | 3mxkani6hqd22 | Curator | # Discover your Inner Village An Evening Taster ### Every one of us carries an Inner Village. A living community of different voices, qualities, longings, fears, protectors and forgotten possibilities. Some of these parts feel familiar and easy to access. Others have been hidden, silenced or are simply waiting for the right conditions to emerge. Fool Expression is an invitation to begin meeting this inner community through embodied play, movement, presence and authentic expression. Rather than talking about ourselves, we learn to notice what is alive in us, stay with it, and discover the intelligence, vitality and creativity that each experience carries. As our relationship with these different parts deepens, they become less frightening to meet and more available as companions in our lives. We begin to discover that every part carries something essential, and that there is also a place in the middle of it all where we are free to choose, to respond, and to move between them with greater ease. **A Taste of Fool Expression** This evening offers a gentle introduction to the practice and to the atmosphere of Fool Expression Together we'll explore simple embodied exercises, movement, relational practices and playful explorations that help us settle, become more present, and meet ourselves with curiosity Everything is offered as an invitation. You are always free to participate at your own pace. There is nothing to perform, no experience to get right, and no previous experience with movement, theatre or personal development is needed. **What does the evening involve?** During the evening you can expect: • Grounding and embodiment practices • Emerging movement and exploration • Connecting with others in a simple and supported way • Discovering different parts of yourself through direct experience • Moments of reflection and sharing • A relaxed, welcoming and trauma-informed space ** Is this for me?** This evening may be for you if you: • Feel curious about yourself and how you relate to the world • Long for more authenticity, freedom or creativity in your life • Are interested in embodied personal development • Are looking for a practice that is both playful and profound • Simply want to experience something different in a safe and welcoming environment Many people leave feeling more connected to themselves, more spacious, more playful, and curious to continue discovering their Inner Village. ### The Fool In this practice, the Fool is not someone who performs or entertains. The Fool is the part of us that remains curious. It is willing to step into the unknown without needing to know who it has to be. It welcomes every aspect of ourselves with openness rather than judgement. The Fool can move from one presence to another, allowing each to be fully embodied before gently stepping aside for whatever wishes to emerge next. Over time this brings greater flexibility, authenticity and inner freedom. **Curious to explore further?** This evening is a first taste of Fool Expression. If this work speaks to you, the Fool Expression [Level 1 weekend on the 7-8 November 26](https://dandelion.events/e/u4l7q) offers a deeper immersion into building relationships with the many parts of your Inner Village and developing practical tools to continue that journey in everyday life. You can read more about the practice here: [https://christieanimas.com/fool-expression](https://christieanimas.com/fool-expression) "_ **Every time I met with the unknown I was surprised, delighted and had a great sense of relief. For me the unknown has always been a frightening dark abyss, yet just with this intro weekend and stepping into the unknown a few times, my perspective has greatly shifted. It's still scary, yes, but instead of a dark, frightening abyss there are now so many different shades and hues to discover. Going through this process has been like a mirror for my life... Thank you for revealing and sharing this path.** _" — **Louise Littera** , Home Educator ### ## Your Facilitator ### Christie Animas .png) Christie Animas is the creator of Fool Expression, an evolving practice that weaves together Voice Dialogue, Fooling, embodiment, psychology, improvisation and community practice.

Originally trained in Occupational Therapy and specialising in Child Psychiatry, Christie later trained in Voice Dialogue, the Fooling practice with Franki Anderson, Body-Informed Leadership and a range of embodied and relational approaches. Her work is deeply influenced by nature, community, creativity and years of exploring what helps people feel more fully alive, authentic and connected.

| ACER Integration | Thu, Oct 1, 6:00 PM UTC | – | 3mxkanih62c22 | Curator | ## Psychedelic Integration for Lasting Connection ACER Integration is a guided 13-month online program supporting psychedelic integration through practices that deepen connection to self, others, and the natural world. Standard ACER fee- £1,440 or you can choose to split the yearly fee into three monthly payments of £520 **Exclusive offer from The Psychedelic Society** Join this training with **20% off** using code **PSYSOC20** ## Why ACER? Many of the challenges we face personally and collectively are rooted in disconnection, from ourselves, from one another, and from the living world. Research by ACER founder **Dr Rosalind Watts** found that psychedelics can increase connectedness to self, others, and the wider world. ACER was created to help people sustain and deepen that connectedness over time through practices grounded in psychological theory and nature’s wisdom. While the model grew out of psychedelic research, its lessons are widely relevant for anyone seeking greater resilience, meaning, and belonging. ## What ACER Does ACER takes place within a closed global online community over a year-long cycle, with an initial onboarding month. Each month explores a new theme inspired by a tree archetype, for example, **Oak** (accepting all parts of ourselves) or **Elder** (connecting with ancestors). Through reflection, breathwork, and community-based practice, participants develop sustainable ways to integrate insight and support ongoing change. The **A.C.E.R. model** helps you: **Accept** emotions **Connect** to meaning **Embody** insights **Restore** balance with nature’s rhythms ACER is non-prescriptive. You engage with the practices in ways that feel aligned, and you remain in control of your own journey. ## Who ACER Is For Most people join ACER for one or both of these reasons: to integrate their own psychedelic experiences more deeply to strengthen their work as therapists, facilitators, or spaceholders Many also join because they are looking for a community of purpose and a more sustainable way to navigate change without isolation or burnout. Practitioners come to ACER to be supported through times of transformation, expand their skills, and connect with a wider network of care. Integrators join to develop more resourced ways of being, reduce isolation, and continue integrating psychedelic experiences within a nature-based community. <oembed url="https://youtu.be/dJFC6S4Wm_U"></oembed> ## How It Works ACER is built around a year-long cycle based on Dr Rosalind Watts’ **ACE** therapeutic framework, **Accept, Connect, Embody** , with a fourth element added, **Restore**. The cycle unfolds in real time within a closed community, offering a more collective approach to healing than is often found in Western models of care. ## Benefits for You Community members report positive changes such as: reduced stress and anxiety through self-regulation and present-moment awareness movement away from old patterns through insight and reflection feeling encouraged, supported, and held by community creating a more sustainable rhythm for life and change increased creativity and inspiration greater connectedness locally and globally a clearer sense of purpose and direction ## Core Practices ### Tree Journeys Each month is guided by a different tree. Using meditations, written materials, and reflective practices, Tree Journeys help participants connect with nature, self, and others. Dr Watts introduces each new tree with a short video, and each journey is accompanied by bespoke music. ### Sharing Circles Small-group sharing circles help participants process each month’s teachings by speaking from lived experience and witnessing others. Circles are held by trained ACER facilitators who have completed the cycle themselves and are skilled in creating warm, respectful spaces. After completing the year-long cycle, participants are eligible to apply to become sharing circle facilitators within the ACER community. ### Q&A Sessions Each month, Dr Watts speaks live with an inspiring guest on topics relevant to the community. Sessions can be attended live or watched later on catch-up. ### Breathwork Breathwork is offered as both an integration tool after psychedelics and an embodiment practice. ACER includes monthly drop-in sessions as well as deeper **Breathwork Journeys** aligned with the **Eightfold wheel of the Celtic calendar**. These longer sessions are designed to induce altered states of consciousness and are led privately by trained professionals within the ACER community. ### Music Meditations ACER’s music meditations, featuring artists such as **Jon Hopkins** , range from 5 to 25 minutes and are designed to fit into everyday life. They support the ongoing process of Accepting, Connecting, Embodying, and Restoring. ### Orison Tree Circles Dr Watts created the **Orison Tree journey** as a standalone practice for processing grief and clarifying what we need help with. Participants can access the recording and also join facilitated group sessions within ACER to listen and process together.  “The disconnectedness of modern culture has left many of us feeling empty, lost and alone. Many of us didn’t grow up with a sense of feeling at home in ourselves, connected to who we are and why we are here, the land that we live on, close-knit community, and the ancestors who came before. This is why I started ACER..” — Dr Rosalind Watts ## Community Being part of the community is central to the ACER experience. It offers the chance to be known deeply, supported by others, and connected through a shared purpose. ACER draws on modern online connection to revive an older sense of **Anam Cara** , soul friendship. Alongside the deeper work, the community includes spaces for lightness and play, such as: **Tree Dance** with Leonie **Wood Whittling** gatherings monthly drop-in chat spaces ### Your Orchard Each participant is placed in an **Orchard** , a small group of 6 to 12 people moving through the 12-month cycle together. Orchards provide a more intimate space for reflection and processing, and many continue meeting after the formal cycle ends. Groups are arranged by location and timezone where possible. ### Connect Locally and Globally Although ACER is online, strong relationships form quickly across countries and timezones. Participants who live near one another often meet in person for nature walks and social connection. ## Beyond Your First Cycle When ACER’s first cohort completed the cycle, many chose to stay for another year. This led to the creation of the **Elders’ Orchard** , where returning participants continue deepening their relationship with the Twelve Tree cycle. Some Elders repeat the cycle for further growth, while others contribute to community life by hosting sessions such as **Book Club** , including discussions of Terry Real’s _US_.  ## Our Offering The **ACER 12 Tree Cycle** includes a **13-month membership** in the ACER community and access to: Sharing Circles Guided Meditations Breathwork Sessions Q&As with industry pioneers **Woodland Walks** with thought leaders in conversation with Dr Rosalind Watts the community forum resources and session replays ## How to Join ACER opens **twice per year** , once in **April** and once in **October**. To join, complete the [application form](https://acerintegration.com/apply-now). Once accepted, your first month includes onboarding to the platform, meeting your Orchard, and joining introductory live events before your 12 Tree cycle begins the following month. **Exclusive offer from The Psychedelic Society** Join this training with **20% off** using code **PSYSOC20** # Meet the Team  ## Dr Ros Watts FOUNDER Dr Ros Watts created ACER after working at Imperial College London as the clinical lead of the psilocybin for depression trial. She has been named as one of the 50 Most Influential People in Psychedelics. Ros’s favourite Tree Teacher is the Rowan (or Mountain Ash). Rowan teaches that Grief and Love are two sides of the same coin and that our deepest suffering can be the place where our most important offering can spring from, if we are connected to enough support and care to nurture this alchemy.  ## Lee Mendeloff OPERATIONS MANAGER Lee is a therapist, yoga teacher, breathwork guide. Her favourite tree is the Redwood. As ACER’s resident embodiment enthusiast and somatic practitioner, Lee loves how the Redwood teaches self-soothing. The Redwood reminds us that, no matter how strong we appear externally, our inner child—the sapling within—still needs care and nurturing. Tending to this part of ourselves builds emotional resilience and fosters nourishing relationships with both ourselves and others.  ## Philip Carr-Gomm FACILITATOR AND CONTRIBUTOR Philip is a psychotherapist, and previous sharing circle facilitator on the first ever ACER cycle. Philip studied Druidry as a spiritual path with Ross Nichols, the founder of The Order of Bards Ovates and Druids, and in 1988 was asked to lead The Order of Bards Ovates and Druids himself. “There is something about a birch tree lit up by the sun against a deep azure sky that just makes my heart soar. In the Druid tradition it represents new beginnings - the paper-like quality of the bark evoking the excitement of the blank page inviting new creation!”  ## Ona Praderas SHARING CIRCLE FACILITATOR Ona Praderas is an embodiment wellness coach, with over 8 years of experience blending modalities such as movement, breath, creativity and Gestalt therapy to foster deep personal growth. Her favourite tree is the Oak, it reminds her that this shall pass and balance will return no matter what. It helps her make peace with those parts of her that need pampering and love.  ## Caroline SHARING CIRCLE FACILITATOR Caroline is a clinical psychologist and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapist who lives in the beautiful Blue Mountains of Australia, raising children and mugwort and trying to mindfully embody a bridge between the sacred and clinical worlds. Her favourite tree is the Apple, reminding us of the way life feeds back into itself, where past experience and the skins we shed become compost and nourishment for the next chapter, and the next, both internally and in relationship.  ## Nii SHARING CIRCLE FACILITATOR Nii is a mental health, technology and psychedelics advocate and has spent the last 22 years working in mental health. He believes that strengthening our connection to nature and our authentic selves offer us the best chance of living fulfilled and aligned lives. The redwood reminds him to find stillness in challenging times, to look after himself by engaging in activities that regulate the nervous system and to find strength through an inner pillar of core values.  ## Ruth SHARING CIRCLE FACILITATOR Ruth works in the creative sector but has always had an interest in psychology and mental health. She believes in an holistic and embodied approach to healing - one that includes every aspect of our humanity whether it be storytelling, art, movement, music, talking, thinking and connection to nature all have their part to play and are amplified when worked out within a supportive community.  ## Leonie SHARING CIRCLE FACILITATOR Leonie is a mental health and psychedelics advocate, passionate about connecting authentically, building and supporting communities. Following her participation in two clinical trials using Psilocybin and DMT for depression, Leonie took part in the ACER pilot which offered her a deeply felt experience of connection, belonging and purpose. She has since co-founded the Psychedelic Participants Advocacy Network (PsyPAN) and is also the Community Manager for Alalaho Psychedelic Retreats.  ## Ian SHARING CIRCLE FACILITATOR Ian has been working in journalism, charity communications and advocacy work for many years, all with the unifying aim of connecting people. Ian’s ongoing personal journey has included being a participant in two psychedelic clinical trials to treat his depression, which inspired him to co-found the Psychedelic Participant Advocacy Network (PsyPAN). His favourite tree is the Yew as it reminds us all to slow down, and to take the time to breathe and live more in harmony with our natural rhythms.  ## Claudia SHARING CIRCLE FACILITATOR Claudia stands at the crossroads of shamanic energy healing, Jungian dreamwork, psychic development, and psychedelic integration, and is the author of a newsletter called Many-Worlds Vision. Her favorite tree is the Rowan, which has taught her that the wind's assaults can be a gift, helping us root deeper into this Earth, and deeper into the depths of our own hearts. **Exclusive offer from The Psychedelic Society** Join this training with **20% off** using code **PSYSOC20** | |||
| Holding Space: An 8 Week Course for Psychedelic Practitioners | Tue, Sep 8, 7:00 AM UTC | – | 3mxkanij5gg22 | Curator | # **Holding Space for Psychedelic Practitioners** What if the key to unlocking the transformational potential of psychedelics lies not in the substance itself, but in the empty space around it? In the evolving landscape of psychedelic-assisted therapy and personal growth, the role of the practitioner is pivotal. As guides in non-ordinary states of consciousness, we hold a sacred responsibility to create and maintain a safe, nurturing environment for those we serve. Research has confirmed that “set and setting” are the key influencing factors for transformational experiences. Psychedelic practitioners hold a unique position at the intersection of these two critical elements. A recent study has identified “Holding Space” as a critical competency for psychedelic practitioners. It’s a subtle but powerful skillset often overlooked in practitioner training. #### #### **What does it take to be an anchor in a sea of cosmic consciousness?** Successful psychedelic journeys require that facilitators be possessed of heightened sensitivity and awareness, the ability to offer deep, non-judgemental listening and the capacity for discerning and offering the levels of physical and energetic containment necessary to empower journeyers to hold space for themselves. Much of the work of developing these specialized skills begins with the inner journey of the practitioner. The most powerful way of expanding your capacity for holding space is engaging in open, dedicated practice of holding space for others AND yourself. #### **Join us for an 8 week intentional exploration of holding space as psychedelic practitioners.** A small group experience designed to expand awareness, courage and competence in the skills and practice of holding space. This program offers a unique opportunity to explore and hold space for your own values, emotions and growth as well as those of others. It has been especially designed to support practitioners in navigating the complex terrain of psychedelic work with greater ease, authenticity, and effectiveness, empowering you to provide profound support to those you serve while maintaining your own grounding and resilience. #### **Why this exploration matters** This program addresses a critical gap in many practitioner training programs by focusing on the art and science of "holding space" – a fundamental skill that can profoundly impact the quality and outcomes of psychedelic experiences. We’ll introduce holding space as a robust context and set of tools for engaging in the practice of self inquiry and healing and explore the nuances of holding space for the unfolding of self awareness, self trust and self compassion within others. ## ## **Program Overview** #### **Format** 8 x 120-minute online sessions #### **Focus** Principles and practices of holding space in psychedelic contexts #### **Approach** Facilitated conversations and experiential learning ### **What You'll Learn** Over the course of the program we’ll explore twelve critical themes and core competencies divided into three fundamental areas of focus, deepening your understanding and practice of holding space in psychedelic contexts: 1. **What You Offer: Qualities and Competencies of Holding Space for Others** - Explore and engage the subtle aspects of containment - Develop heightened sensitivity and awareness - Learn techniques to maintain a clear and supportive energetic presence - Explore methods to empower journeyers in their own healing processes 2. **What Guides You: Deepening into the Practitioner's Inner Knowing** - Cultivate a robust practice of self-inquiry and self-reflection - Explore personal beliefs and biases that may impact your work - Learn to navigate ethical dilemmas with clarity and confidence 3. **What Holds You: Expanding Your Capacity for Being Held** - Discover practices for self-care and personal grounding - Learn to recognize and honor your own boundaries and limitations - Explore techniques for processing and integrating your experiences as a practitioner - Develop a support network and resources for your ongoing growth Throughout this experience, you'll engage in facilitated conversations, experiential exercises, and reflective practices designed to integrate these core areas. You'll also have the opportunity to: - Experience the power of circle work and learn how to incorporate it into your practice - Build a supportive community with fellow practitioners - Gain tools for ongoing self-assessment and professional development By focusing on these three interconnected areas, you'll develop a holistic approach to holding space that enhances both your effectiveness as a practitioner and your personal well-being. ### **Benefits of Participation** - Deepen your understanding and skills in holding space - Have space intentionally held for you as you explore your practice - Gain tools for ongoing self-inquiry and personal healing - Enhance your ability to create transformative experiences for clients - Join a supportive community of psychedelic practitioners - Differentiate yourself in the field with these essential, often overlooked skills ## ### **Who Should Attend** This program is ideal for: - Current psychedelic practitioners looking to enhance their skills - Aspiring practitioners preparing to enter the field - Mental health professionals interested in psychedelic-assisted therapy - Anyone committed to creating safe, transformative spaces for healing and growth **Group sizes will be capped at 10 people. Spaces are issued on a first come, first served basis.** Join us on this journey of exploration and growth. Together, we'll cultivate the skills and awareness needed to hold space with profound presence, compassion, and effectiveness in the realm of psychedelic practice. ### **Program Details** Session Dates: - Tuesday September 8th 2026, 8am-10am BST / 3am-5am EDT / 12am-2am PDT - Tuesday September 15th 2026, 8am-10am BST / 3am-5am EDT / 12am-2am PDT - Tuesday September 22nd 2026, 8am-10am BST / 3am-5am EDT / 12am-2am PDT - Tuesday September 29th 2026, 8am-10am BST / 3am-5am EDT / 12am-2am PDT - Tuesday October 6th 2026, 8am-10am BST / 3am-5am EDT / 12am-2am PDT - Tuesday October 13th 2026, 8am-10am BST / 3am-5am EDT / 12am-2am PDT - Tuesday October 20th 2026, 8am-10am BST / 3am-5am EDT / 12am-2am PDT - Tuesday October 27th 2026, 8am-10am GMT / 4am-6am EDT / 1am-3am PDT ## YOUR FACILITATOR ### Chara Caruthers .png) **Chara Caruthers, MSc** , is a transpersonal therapist, educator, researcher, and spaceholder whose work bridges psychedelics, embodiment, and community.

| Introduction to Myofascial Energetic Release (MER) London: JANUARY | Sat, Jan 30, 9:00 AM UTC | Millers Way Project, Miller's Way, London, UK | 3mxkank4izb22 | Curator | **2-Day Introductory Workshop Myofascial Energetic Release (MER) ** MER is hands-on deep bodywork that works on muscles (myo), connective tissue (fascia) and the physical and emotional aspects of tension and holding patterns in the body. The treatment may also include breathwork, joint release, assisted stretches, and emotional work. The goal of a MER session is to relieve pain, restore physical function, and achieve balance between body and mind. Every person is a whole, a unity in which everything is interconnected and in which fascia plays a crucial role. Fascia is a multifaceted organ that communicates, supports, connects, separates, protects, strengthens, coordinates, and provides information about how you feel inside. Understanding how fascia functions in the larger scheme of things and how you can work with it in deep bodywork can help you foster healing and transformation at a profound level in your clients. This introductory workshop is open to bodyworkers and therapists who want to expand their skills as well as newcomers to bodywork who want to discover the possibilities that MER offers. In this weekend you will get an introduction to the principles and science behind MER; the how it works and why. You will learn basic techniques that you can instantly apply in your practice, supporting your clients on their path to health and healing. We will also cover: • The body's natural capacity for self-regulation and healing • The autonomic nervous system and how you can work with it with simple interventions • How to perform a body reading and how to incorporate this information into a session • Elements of deep touch, such as depth, speed, and duration of your stroke • The importance of your own posture and breathing • How you can support the process with verbal cues and client participation • Active meditation Expect a practical approach. By practicing with different partners and exchanging feedback, you will learn from your own experience what this work can achieve for you and your clients. This workshop serves as an introduction to professional modules of MER taking place in the Leela Centre in Gillingham, Dorset. **About Myofascial Energetic Release ** Myofascial Energetic Release (MER) is a deep form of bodywork developed by renowned bodyworker Satyarthi Peloquin. It combines myofascial release, breathwork, movement, and emotional work to release tension, align the body, support emotional healing, and restore natural energy flow. **About the trainer ** Ketu Bo trained as a therapist with Veeresh Yuson in the Osho Humaniversity in the Netherlands, specialising in emotional awareness, bodywork, dance and movement. Next to being a Humaniversity therapist, he is a Postural Integration practitioner, MER (Myofascial Energetic Release) practitioner, a Postural Alignment Specialist (Egoscue postural therapy) and a NARM (Neuro Affective Relational Model) practitioner. Ketu has a profound interest in the connection between mind, body and soul. Drawing from 30 years of working in the human potential movement as a group leader, bodyworker, trainer and therapist, Ketu has the experience, knowledge and skill needed to help newcomers get started with bodywork, as well as teaching practicing therapists how they can improve their game. Ulla Thordal's path in bodywork began with Cranio-Sacral Therapy, a practice she honered for many years before exploring tantra in 2011, which she now integrates into her work. Her fascination with the healing power of the fascia and nervous system led her to study Myofascial Energetic Release (MER) under Satyarthi Peloquin, assisting him in workshops across Europe. Ulla is passionate about using her hands and heart to guide clients toward health and balance, always striving to create meaningful, individualised connections. | |||
| Psychedelic Practitioner Core Training | Mon, Jan 18, 7:00 PM UTC | – | 3mxkanklhc622 | Curator | The Synthesis Institute presents: # **Psychedelic Practitioner Core Training** A foundational certification program for professionals (September 2026 cohort) **Program begins:** January 19th, 2027 **Super Early Registration** available through November 22 **Tuition:** $11,497 → $9,497 (save $2,000) **Payment plan:** 12-month payment plan available ### **Exclusive offer from The Psychedelic Society** #### Join this training with $700 off using code PPCTPSYCHSOCIETY. [](https://www.synthesisinstitute.com/psychedelic-practitioner-core-training#payment3) As increased access to psychedelics continues to expand and reshape how we approach debilitating mental health and treatment-resistant conditions, the need for professionally trained practitioners is growing. Over the past several years, psychedelic research has surged under rigorous clinical conditions, pointing toward a major shift in mental health care and accelerating the need for facilitators who can support safe, ethical, well-prepared experiences and strong integration afterward. The Psychedelic Practitioner Core Training is a 13-month educational journey for professionals seeking a research-backed, wisdom-rich, somatically informed, heart-centered approach to facilitation. It’s designed for people who want to contribute to the psychedelic field with integrity, grounded in best practices, supported by community, and oriented toward ethical service. ### Why this training now Psychedelics are increasingly being studied and discussed as countries and states reevaluate regulations and explore therapeutic potential. Hundreds of clinical trials are currently investigating psychedelics for conditions such as depression, PTSD, and addiction, with psilocybin remaining at the forefront due to promising safety and efficacy signals across multiple areas of need. Alongside these research developments, regulated access is emerging in some places, creating real demand for practitioners who understand screening, preparation, navigation, safety, ethics, and integration, not just the experience itself. ### A training built from real-world experience Since 2018, The Synthesis Institute has guided more than 1,100 participants through legal, professionally facilitated group and individual psychedelic journeys. This Core Training reflects Synthesis’ best practices, cultivated through diligent focus and shaped with supervision from experienced psychedelic experts, so you can develop the competence, confidence, and discernment to work responsibly in this evolving space. ### Colorado alignment and accreditation Synthesis’ training aligns with Colorado’s state-mandated requirements and has been approved as an accredited training center under the state’s regulatory framework for future psychedelic facilitators. As Colorado’s regulated landscape continues to take shape, this training is built to prepare graduates to operate within legal and ethical guidelines as frameworks evolve. _“Legal, professionally-organized retreats and trainings like (the ones) Synthesis offers can be a safe way for people to experience the transformational potential of psychedelics, and they can also be a great source of data for research centers like our own, helping to further advance the field. I'm excited to continue working alongside Synthesis to provide high-quality services and meaningful scientific research for the psychedelic community.”_ **- Robin Carhart-Harris, Ph.D.** (Founder of the Centre for Psychedelic Research at Imperial College London) ### Who it’s for This program welcomes professionals from a wide range of backgrounds and industries who demonstrate maturity, commitment, focus, and readiness for deep self-exploration. Enrollment is by application only, and the application process assesses intentions and fit, including areas such as professional experience, self-care practices, group learning compatibility, and (if applicable) prior psychedelic experience. ### What makes this program different This is more than earning a credential. The training emphasizes that the safest, most effective facilitation is grounded in the practitioner’s ongoing inner work. You’ll learn the science and best practices and develop personal practices and professional support networks that help you become a flexible, compassionate, collaborative, ethical facilitator. A key differentiator is the program’s intimate learning model: Small-group “pod” learning (approximately 8 to 10 participants) Each pod is supported by an experienced learning facilitator The structure supports deep reflection, feedback, supervision, skill-building, and integration Many participants report their pod becomes one of the most meaningful parts of the entire experience ### What you’ll learn and develop In the Psychedelic Practitioner Core Training, you will: Develop a foundational understanding of guiding a safe and ethical psychedelic journey, from screening and readiness to preparation, navigation, and integration Gain awareness of relevant clinical research and evidence-based best practices Broaden your understanding of established and emerging wisdom and traditional approaches Build your capacity to hold space for a wide range of experiences, while recognizing the limits of your current scope and the next steps for growth Establish consistent personal practices in self-care and self-reflection Assemble a toolkit of professional skills that support transformation, accountability, and ethical practice Recognize internal prejudices and unconscious bias and learn to create culturally sensitive, trauma-informed containers Deepen your understanding of ethical questions around cultural appropriation, extractivism, restorative justice, and generative reciprocity Join a peer network and connect to Synthesis’ international professional community and global network **Note:** Earning a completion certificate does not authorize you to lead or facilitate psychedelic journeys. Regulations vary and change rapidly, and participants are responsible for following laws in their place of residence. **Hear From Seven Graduates on Their Training Experience and Work in the Field** <oembed url="https://vimeo.com/1135914158/b16c46774e?fl=pl&fe=cm"></oembed> ### ### The Four-Lens Approach: honoring many ways of knowing Synthesis’ curriculum is organized around a clear organizing principle: there is no one-size-fits-all method for facilitation. The program trains you to hold complexity by exploring each topic through four lenses: **Embodied Wisdom:** ongoing somatic, spiritual, and self-reflection practices, values, personal ethics, integration of learning **Cognitive Wisdom:** history, philosophy, neuroscience, psychopharmacology, harm reduction, and facilitation best practices **Sacred Wisdom:** meaning-making traditions, nature-based and spiritual approaches, and the wisdom of cultures navigating liminal spaces across time **Relational Wisdom:** relational skills, boundaries, community responsibility, and how to be deliberate in bringing this work into the world This framework is designed to help you build a strong foundation while developing an authentic, personalized approach rooted in ethical and safety standards. ### ### Program structure (January 2027 cohort) **Welcome and Orientation (first 2 weeks)** Program begins January 18th, 2027 Orientation includes video content plus meeting your learning facilitator and pod group during that week **Nine monthly modules (spanning 12 months)** 9 themed coursework modules, each one month long Built-in breaks in March, August and December 2027 for rest, self-care, and integration **Weekly rhythm** Weekly recorded teaching sessions (approximately 60 to 90 minutes) Weekly live pod sessions (2.5 hours) with facilitated discussion, skills practice, professional supervision, and group exercises Assignments estimated at 10 to 15 hours per month **Bonus learning (optional)** Monthly live bonus workshops with a rotating roster of thought leaders, wisdom elders, and visionaries **Assessment, closing, and completion** Portfolio review and a final oral examination during the integration and assessment phase Closing and celebration upon completion ### ### Colorado Module (optional add-on) If you are seeking licensure in Colorado, you can opt in to an additional Colorado Module covering state-required learnings (25+ hours of lectures, assignments, and materials), completed at your own pace alongside the Core Training. **Additional tuition:** $497 (separate from Core Training tuition) ### Financial aid and inclusivity Scholarships are available at 25% and 50% for qualified applicants. As part of a commitment to inclusivity and diversity in psychedelic care, at least 30% of participants in each cohort receive financial aid, with priority for those demonstrating financial need and those impacted by systemic oppression across identity markers, including race, class, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, immigration status, ableism, and more. ### ### **Ready to apply?** Enrolment is by application only. [Apply now](https://www.synthesisinstitute.com/psychedelic-practitioner-core-training#payment3) to be considered for the January 18th, 2027 cohort and to access early registration savings (through 22nd November), and don’t forget $700 off with code **PPCTPSYCHSOCIETY**.

| Elemental Being: Hearth & Hollow | Fri, Nov 27, 5:00 PM UTC | Eden Rise Retreat Center, Totnes, UK | 3mxkanlnpqc22 | Curator | **THE INVITATION** Join us for the Heart & Hollow Winter edition of the Elemental Being Retreat for a tender-brave exploration of our interbeing with all that is. As we move towards the solstice, we will explore the cycles and spirals of this being human, weaving together therapeutic practices, embodiment, deep rest, ceremony in candlelight, silence, song, elemental connection and more. As the wheel turns past Samhain and the nights grow longest, we arrive in the darkness - the stretch of year before the solstice tips us back towards the light. This is the season of the hearth and the hollow bone. The hearth is what we gather around when the dark presses in, bringing warmth and connection. The fire has transformed humanity in profound ways, and gathering around it brings us back to our primal roots. Here we will meet the archetype of the alchemist, transmuting suffering into aliveness, and finding the gift in the challenge. The alchemist embraces change and paradox. The hollow bone is the clear channel that opens up inside us when we become fully alive to the present moment and the separate self dissolves. In the deepest stillness, silence and darkness of the Winter months we have an opportunity to pause the relentless flood of information coming in, and instead to empty ourselves out, to become free-flowing vessels for the unfolding of life. Here we will encounter the archetype of the crone, the wise old woman, offering us a bone-deep wisdom that shines a light on our shadows with clarity and love. We come together to befriend the dark, to gather at the hearth, and to hollow ourselves a little to welcome life more fully. _“The support was incredible. I felt so comfortable being myself fully - tears and all! Thank you for providing a space that is so freeing. The world needs more of this love, safety & compassion.”_ **WHAT TO EXPECT** Each day will follow a similar rhythm, which every session being optional, although full participation reveals the richness of this carefully curated experience. The schedule is still being refined, so expect changes! We start at 5pm on Friday and finish at 3pm Monday. **Example Timetable for Sat & Sun** 07.30 - Meditation, breath & dance - meeting the themes for this day 08.30 - Breakfast 10.00 - Movement session & group process 13.00 - Lunch & free time 16.00 - Afternoon workshop & elemental connection ceremony 19.00 - Dinner 20.00 - Evening workshop **EARTH - Embracing Darkness** - opening, meeting the cycles and spirals of life, death & dormancy - group connection + personal reflection practices - making the altar - yoga nidra for deep rest **WATER - Courting the Crone (finding the hollow bone)** - crone meditation - group's choice - e.g. mischief making, grief tending, crafting, IFS workshops - water ceremony (with optional cold dip!) - deepening into darkness - a short vigil on the land, apprenticing the darkness - prayerful mantra to honour death (and with death, also life) **FIRE - Awakening the Alchemist (gathering at the hearth)** - alchemist meditation - transmutation ceremony & psychology workshop (including how to avoid the extremes of wallowing/stagnation and avoidance/bypassing) - dancing the elements with cacao & chilli - fire ceremony - song, voice, story-telling & music **AIR - Turning Towards the Light** - integration ceremony - sun-seed meditation - honouring the light that follows the darkness - final celebration and close _“I can say whole heartedly that I have come away a better person and it has catapulted me into improving and changing my life even more than before. Becoming better for myself and those that I love. Going on this retreat is one of the best decisions I have ever made.” - SARAH, LONDON_ **WHO IS THIS FOR?** The group is open to everyone who feels a calling to connect more deeply to themselves, community, the natural world and the mysteries of life. It would particularly suit those who are yearning for a deeper connection to the wider web of life, or who already feel this in their bones and would like to be with likeminded souls. Regretfully, due to workshops out on the uneven terrain, the site is not accessible for wheelchairs and those with limited mobility - please contact Megan to discuss further. Toilets are unisex and this is an LGBTQIA+ affirmative space. This will be a gentle yet brave, welcoming yet challenging, soft yet strong space for you to be held and from that loving place, explore your edges. Taking part in this retreat requires adequate mental and physical health to be self-responsible within group processes; we are all facing the horrors and joys of life and your whole self is fully welcome, but do get in touch if you have any concerns or questions. **WHY COME?** _“Where to begin!! The retreat was so rich, soulful & at times incredibly confronting. I felt a deep connection to myself that I truly thought I'd lost. I also worked through some personal shadows that needed releasing, to do that with the support from this group was so powerful. Also the final practices I found particularly moving. What a beautiful exercise in expressing self love. Megan's knowledge always blows me away, and Bendy's kind heart kept the space so soft & nourishing. Grateful is too small of a word” - CHELSEA, BRISTOL_ To remember ourselves as nature, interbeing with all that is; to expand around our small stories to find greater freedom, support and a sense of our common humanity; to meet our different parts with curiosity and compassion; to connect to the richness of our bodies and the deep wisdom that can be found there; to unlearn the bullshit and remember our truths; to touch into our unique gifts and the profound power of community; to offer ourselves the simple pleasure and profound healing of space and time away from the every day, attuning ourselves to the subtle mysteries that are unfolding in every moment. **WHO ARE THE FACILITATORS?** [**Megan**](https://www.meganavery.co.uk/)**(she/her)** _-_ I will be leaning into my experience of holding space for people for over 15 years, including working with people experiencing the effects of complex trauma in the NHS and privately as a senior clinical psychologist, running workshops and retreats, delivering training & supervision, directing the [Bristol Yoga Roots Project](https://www.bristolyogarootsproject.co.uk/), and teachin[g yoga.](https://www.bristolyogarootsproject.co.uk/) [**Zak Avery**](https://www.instagram.com/stories/zak_avery/) (he/him)[](https://www.instagram.com/zak_avery/)- Avery will be assisting Megan on this retreat - they have previously run Journeys of Belonging retreat together.

There will be hot drinks available throughout the day too. _“There are so many things to say about this retreat, it operates on so many levels – but it’s one word, transformative, that runs through my thoughts. Megan creates a space that feels so safe you can allow yourself that act of freedom, to see what will happen, what could transform, to commit a radical act of being” - GILL , CHESTER_ **ANYTHING ELSE?** When not in the yoga space you can enjoy the chill out areas, peaceful gardens or the sauna. Only a short trip away is the colourful town of Totnes and the River Dart, ideal for wild swimming. The retreat space is surrounded by the glorious Yeoland, with altars to the different elements across the landscape. In the free time in the afternoon there will be craft activities and trips to the river or coast that are optional. Grace will be serving up three delicious meals a day, plus snacks and hot drinks. If you haven’t eaten Graces’s food before, you're in for a treat! _“This retreat was more than I ever imagined it could be. I felt I touched into my core, remembered who I really was and what was important in life. Megan holds every single person with her seemingly tireless attention and weaves them together to love and hold each other, giving the group hope in our increasingly dark world. She encourages you to remember the positive and work with the negative. I emerged a more whole and joyful person.”- JANE, WARE_ A webpage with images and links to videos can be found here.

| Kundalini Activation at Caddaford Barn Studio, TOTNES/ BUCKFASTLEIGH | Mon, Dec 14, 6:30 PM UTC | Caddaford Barn Studio, Caddaford Farm, Buckfastleigh, TQ11 0JT | 3mxkanlvols22 | Curator | Juliet Leonard is the south west & Birmingham's only Kundalini Activation Process facilitator. Also known as Life Force Activation, she is a guide for Kundalini and Non dual states of consciousness through transmission. This is a powerful transmission of raw kundalini and non dual consciousness to raise your own frequency, clear negative energies held in your energetic body, dissolve mistaken belief systems and habits that no longer serve you and ultimately raise your own Kundalini Energy and awaken to Consciousness. This is a minimum two hour event at Caddaford Barns Studio, Caddaford Farm, Buckfastleigh, Devon TQ11 0JT.  _Caddaford Barn Studio at Caddaford Farm._ It is one mile from the A38. A very convenient location to travel to. A beautiful purpose build studio with underfloor heating and plenty of parking in the serene countryside only a few miles from Totnes and just outside Buckfastleigh. Plymouth and Exeter is 30 mins drive. Following signed lane turning off A384 to Caddaford. Caddaford Farm, Buckfastleigh, TQ11 0JT. Yoga mats and blankets are provided, feel free to bring your own too. Wear clothes to lie down in and do not eat much before the session. Places are limited to 10 in this venue and they can sell out. _ **What is KAP?** _ KAP is a direct energy transmission of Raw Kundalini and non dual states of Consciousness. This is a downward descending energy that clears and cleans your energetic field through your chakras. It raises your frequency so that negative energies are forced to detach and be processed. The energy stirred is your own life force energy which in turn may activate your own Kundalini awakening process. This is a physical experience of energetic movement within your physical body. Meaning that your physical body will respond in cathartic release or kriya (movements or changes caused by a spiritual practice) that can be seen and felt. It feels amazing and natural. Please see videos for examples of people in process. This **video will explain** more about how KAP works and What it is….. <oembed url="https://youtu.be/HTeyzPokCuk?si=4ezhrJ5x-qvRZ2hG"></oembed> Like reiki and healing modalities, KAP is received passively by the recipient with no skills or experience required. KAP is not part of a religion and requires no faith at all to work. Shakti energy is very much present in this transmission, therefore it has an innate intelligence to provide the upgrades only right for the person at that time of their lives and conditions. It will never give any more or less than the person needs. You receive exactly what you need with every session in a steadily increasing process. The ‘process’ continues for a few days after the session. Integrating this energy creates gentle shifts to benefit you in all areas of your life including an awareness and intuition in relationships, physical and mental wellbeing, diet and health choices. KAP has a profound effect on the brain, a rewiring occurs creating shifts in self belief, intuition, psychic abilities, perspective and recovery. KAP has shown to create improvements in those with chronic depressive illness and PTSD or a traumatic history. Although not it's primary goal, which is the raising and connection of human consciousness, it can have healing effects on many. KAP has a very positive effect on those living with Kundalini Syndrome, an uncomfortable condition sometimes caused accident or by will-power practices or sometime trauma. KAP will help your body to catch up and be better evolved to hold the increased energetic activity you feel. You will be put back in control of your enhanced spiritual development. **A Sacred Practice** : Kundalini Activation Process is rooted in ancient yogic traditions, designed to awaken the dormant energy within you. Each session offers the chance to experience **spiritual enlightenment** , **emotional healing** , and a deeper sense of connection to the divine. **Suitable for everyone?** Well, almost everyone. Those with delusional psychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia and current manias should not attend, nor should those with epilepsy. Women in their third trimester of pregnancy are also advised to wait until after birth as the sessions can be very physical. We advise that you do not drink or do drugs within at least 24 hours of receiving KAP, including medicinal mushrooms etc. Smoking or vaping or drinking caffeine is completely fine. For some people, eating only a light vegetarian meal on the day of receiving KAP is beneficial to their energetic experience. **About Me** : As a dancer, actress, and Early Years Professional specializing in children with special needs, I have spent my life dedicated to healing and caring for others. As a wife and mother of three—two of whom have special medical and educational needs—I bring a profound sense of compassion and dedication to my work. I am also a certified Reiki practitioner, with years of experience in energy healing. I have offered KAP to hundreds of clients most of whom return whenever they feel like a boost. My approach is grounded in deep care, compassion, and a commitment to helping you awaken to your fullest potential.

Although not it's primary goal, which is the raising and connection of human consciousness, it can have healing effects on many. KAP has a very positive effect on those living with Kundalini Syndrome, an uncomfortable condition sometimes caused accident or by will-power practices or sometime trauma. KAP will help your body to catch up and be better evolved to hold the increased energetic activity you feel. You will be put back in control of your enhanced spiritual development. **A Sacred Practice** : Kundalini Activation Process is rooted in ancient yogic traditions, designed to awaken the dormant energy within you. Each session offers the chance to experience **spiritual enlightenment** , **emotional healing** , and a deeper sense of connection to the divine. **Suitable for everyone?** Well, almost everyone. Those with delusional psychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia and current manias should not attend, nor should those with epilepsy. Women in their third trimester of pregnancy are also advised to wait until after birth as the sessions can be very physical. We advise that you do not drink or do drugs within at least 24 hours of receiving KAP, including medicinal mushrooms etc. Smoking or vaping or drinking caffeine is completely fine. For some people, eating only a light vegetarian meal on the day of receiving KAP is beneficial to their energetic experience. **About Me** : As a dancer, actress, and Early Years Professional specializing in children with special needs, I have spent my life dedicated to healing and caring for others. As a wife and mother of three—two of whom have special medical and educational needs—I bring a profound sense of compassion and dedication to my work.

| Nervous System Healing - 6 week course with Dr Jean Carroll | Mon, Oct 12, 8:00 AM UTC | – | 3mxkanmnhfb22 | Curator | Have you ever felt “on edge” for no obvious reason? Or maybe the opposite—completely drained, even after a full night’s sleep? Perhaps you’ve experienced unexplained pain, gut disturbance or skin issues, heightened sensitivity, or trouble with sleep, memory, or focus? What if I told you the key to all of this is your nervous system? Or, to be more precise—the nervous system is the _lock_. Environment is the key. Behaviour is the hand that turns the key. Stay with me… Your nervous system is the **control centre** of your body. It manages your stress levels, energy, and even how safe and connected you feel. When it’s well resourced and regulated, you feel calm, think more clearly, and have the energy to tackle your day and enjoy life. But when it’s out of balance, your body can feel stuck in _overdrive_ (hello, stress and anxiety) or _shutdown_ (fatigue, overwhelm, and burnout). This balance matters for more than just your mood. Nervous system health impacts your immune system, digestion, sleep, relationships, and even how you bounce back from life's challenges. Here’s the good news: no matter where you’re starting from, you can _train_ your nervous system to work _with_ you instead of against you. I’ll show you exactly how to build a healthier, hardier, more flexible nervous system—so you can move through life with more ease, focus, and energy. Are you ready to turn the key? **What To Expect** - Self-paced recorded content \< 1hr per week - Weekly live group coaching calls on Tuesdays 11am-12 midday on 13th, 20th, 27th, October and 3rd, 10th, 17th November or, alternatively, Monday evenings 8:30-9:30pm on 12th, 19th, 26th October and 2nd, 9th, 16th November. - Two 1:2:1 sessions with Dr Jean Carroll **You'll discover the ‘user’s manual' for** _ **your** _ **nervous system: common misunderstandings, uncommon knowledge, and real routes to greater resilience.** You will learn how to work dynamically with what's coming up to create greater capacity through top-down (cognitive) and bottom-up (somatic) practices. Basically, I've taken 12 weeks of neurosomatic therapy and condensed it down into a more accessible, affordable and fun format. | |||

Also known as Life Force Activation, she is a guide for Kundalini and Non dual states of consciousness through transmission.

| 1:1 Breathwork and body mapping (in person /online) | – | – | 3mxkanp7cu622 | Curator | This transformative self-healing practice supports physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness, helping you to: - Regulate emotions - Manage anxiety and stress - Prevent burnout - Develop self-awareness - Enhance focus and mental clarity I have personal experience of breath work supporting my emotional and mental health. This work has supported growth and self awareness. A regular practice allows me to be more present in the moment, and embrace challenges, opportunities, connection and joy with my feet on the ground and my heart and mind open. My intention in sharing this life changing tool is to empower individuals with the awareness and skills to access breathwork regularly as a self practice as well an in a facilitated space. My goal is to support a society where people thrive rather than simply survive. I offer private breathwork sessions are a safe space where deep healing and growth can take place. I guide clients through journeys that allow aspects of emotional, energetic and spiritual landscape that have been blocked, repressed or shunned to be felt and witnessed. As the relationship with the breath deepens so too does the relationship with self, as I invite clients to embody self compassion, acceptance, forgiveness and love. These sessions are an invitation to soften, release and surrender deeply engrained patterns of thought, behaviour and being that have prevented stepping into our full potential. I include acupressure body mapping and self massage in my work, to soften and release tension, stress and emotions that are held in the body, and to help energy and emotions to flow more freely. I live in Frome, Somerset, and offer sessions in person and online. If you are interested and would like to know more get in touch with a text or whatsapp message and arrange a free 15 minute discovery call. m: +44 07949 742 055 I look forward to connecting with you soon.

| Somatic Processing and Mixed Modality Coaching. (in person / online) | – | – | 3mxkanpb6bq22 | Curator | These sessions involve a blend of parts work, guided meditation, somatic (non-cognitive) stress, trauma and emotional processing, and breathwork. I share this work to support clients shift their relationship with challenging emotions, patterns of behaviour, stress and trauma. While talking therapies help understand our emotional lanscape and relational dynamics, it can often be the case that there is a sense something is unresolved. And this makes sense. So much of our lived experience is felt, held and often trapped in our body. Emotion is _ **e** _nergy-in-_ **motion** _, but this energy can often be stagnent, unexpressed, held back, and denied. Exploring these blocks in a Somatic, non cognitive way is often the key to finally releasing old narratives, re-wiring neural pathways, letting go and letting flow, and moving towards a more easeful way of being. The most important part of this work is the connection and deepening awareness of ones inner sanctuary - the awareness of what feels safest, the most calm, and the most grounded - and the capacity to return there with increasing ease. Healing, growth and expansion can only happen from place of feeling safe. I will help you better understand the wisdom and language of your central nervous system. I will invite a shift toward listening to what truly serves you and your wellbeing, and the radically counter intuitive act of prioritising this. From this place of safety, and with full permission from your inner 'yes', we will explore themes, experiences, stories and sensations that you feel called to work with. I will safely guide you to sit with discomfort, dis-ease, challenge and the unfamiliar with curiosity, courage and compassion. There are often emotional releases, energetic shifts and other forms of profound work. This is where change and transformation can happen, where one story finishes and another begins. Working together I offer 3 or 6 month packages. After an initial consultation this allows for an exploration of the initial theme, the further exploration of secondary themes that almost alway lay beyond our initial awareness, and a resolution of the work. What you receive - 1 x 60 minute consultation - Weekly x 75 minute 1:1 sessions - Tailored integration and grounding tools and exercises - Post session Whatsapp check in - Unlimited Whatsapp correspondence during our work together - 2 weeks Whatsapp correspondence after we stop working together. - I am based in Frome, Somerset, UK. Sessions can be in person or on Zoom.. If you are interested and would like to know more get in touch with a text/whatsapp to arrange a discovery call. m: +44 7949 742 055 I look forward to connecting with you soon. Love. Vaughan | |||
| Reset weekend 2027 | Fri, May 28, 1:00 PM UTC | Height Gate Camping Barn, Stoodley Gln, Todmorden, UK | 3mxkanpxgqw22 | Curator | Journeys Reset Weekend 2027 28–31 May 2027 | 4 Days • 3 Nights Join us for a long weekend of connection, nature, community and wellbeing in the beautiful Calder Valley. Following the success of our first Reset Weekend, we’re excited to be bringing it back for 2027. The feedback from our first event was incredible, with many people making new friendships, finding confidence, feeling accepted, and returning home refreshed, recharged and inspired. This is a welcoming, inclusive and fully sober weekend where you can join in as much or as little as you like. Whether you want to throw yourself into every activity, or simply sit by the campfire, enjoy a walk, read a book, and spend time in nature, you’re welcome here. Journeys is proudly LGBTQ+ friendly, neurodivergent friendly, and committed to creating a safe, supportive and non-judgemental environment. We know many people arrive feeling nervous or anxious, especially if they’re coming alone, but time and again people tell us how quickly they felt at ease and part of the group. This is a fully sober weekend. For many of us, modern life can be noisy, busy and full of distractions. The Reset Weekend offers an opportunity to step away from that for a few days and experience genuine connection with nature, with others, and with yourself, without the need for alcohol or other substances. There is something powerful about sitting around a campfire, watching the sunrise, swimming in cold water, sharing stories, laughing, singing, and simply being present as your authentic self. No masks, no hangovers, no pressure to be anything other than who you are. Whether you’re in recovery, sober-curious, choosing not to drink, or simply looking for a different kind of weekend, you’ll find a welcoming and supportive environment where you can relax, connect and reset. Accommodation is at a camping barn with access to both shared indoor dorm accommodation and a camping field. Whilst this isn’t luxury accommodation, it is warm, welcoming, comfortable and full of character. We also provide a quiet bell tent and access to the mezzanine area for anyone who would like some downtime, solitude or a quieter space throughout the weekend. For those camping, we also provide a night-time toilet tent, so there’s no need to walk across the site in the middle of the night. Throughout the weekend there will be opportunities to connect with others, connect with nature, and reconnect with yourself through a wide range of activities including: • 4 Yoga Sessions • 2 Yoga Nidra Sessions • 2 Sound Baths • Sober Disco • Basket Weaving • Foraging & Cordial Making • Sea Shanty Session • Arts & Crafts Sessions • 2 Guided Runs • 2 Guided Hikes • Sunrise Walk to Stoodley Pike • Open Water Swimming • Ice Baths & Cold Plunges • Stargazing & Night Walk • 3 Campfires • Sharing Circles • Whittling • Garden Games • Incredible Edible Farm Activity Research consistently shows that spending time outdoors, moving your body, connecting with others, being creative and taking time away from everyday pressures can have a positive impact on wellbeing and mental health. This weekend is designed to provide exactly that: a chance to slow down, breathe, laugh, connect and reset. Please note: All activities are optional, with the exception of the sharing circles. All meals, activities, camping or dorm accommodation are included in the ticket price. £220 per person If you’d like to hear what previous attendees thought of the weekend, visit the Journeys Facebook page and read the reviews and testimonials from those who joined us this year. Come as you are. Leave feeling more connected, refreshed and restored. | |||
| Friday Night Dance – Autumn Series 2026 | Fri, Sep 11, 5:30 PM UTC | Harberton Parish Hall, 5 Tristford Rd, Harberton, Totnes TQ9 7SD, UK | 3mxkanqtuiw22 | Curator | **Friday Night Dance** is a fun, deep and inclusive committed group series blending the subtle pleasures of somatic movement with the freedom of improvisation and music. This space invites exploration, connection, and a deepening relationship with movement. **All returning and new dancers are welcome.** We are a supportive, all-gender adult group — we dance, rest, and play with varying soundscapes and light facilitation. While movement is at the heart of our practice, there are occasional moments of guided reflection or verbal sharing to support integration. We are lucky to have the foundation of over a decade of Friday Night Dance in Totnes! And while that brings support of long-standing dancers, this is truly a space where everyone is welcome - new-to-dance, returning-to-dance, or seasoned dancers.. #### **Autumn Term Dates** 11 & 25 September 9 & 23 October 6 & 20 November 4 December (18 December optional Festive Special) 6.30-8.30pm Harberton Parish Hall, 5 Tristford Rd, Harberton, Totnes TQ9 7SD #### Price For 7 sessions: £128 standard price £136 supporter price (helps others attend) (Optional) £12 Festive Special advance price **Some things that might not be obvious if you’re thinking of joining for the first time:** You don’t have to dance in a particular way, keep moving the whole time, make eye contact, or join in with everything. It’s fine if you need time in your own somatics, or deep rest to start. It’s fine to wear earplugs. (We have a bag of them..) It’s fine to spend time witnessing rather than moving. It’s fine if your body says, “Actually, I need to lie down now.” (And a step further, if you realise you need to sleep - fine too.) It’s fine to attend on hard days. Dance is here to help the body find its way. There are a lot of ways of being here. We’ve been dancing together for over a decade, and part of what holds the space is making room for however people arrive, orientate, take part, or listen to what they need. Come as you are. #### **About Leela Fisk** I bring 17 years experience of facilitating community dance, over 3000 facilitating hours of supporting personal and collective expressions in non-competitive atmospheres with care. I'm informed by my training with the School of Soul Motion, studies with Anna Halprin and colleagues along with various somatic movement practices. I have been working in education since 2000. I also lead a Level 1 Personal Embodiment and Level 2 Facilitator Training for the Devon School of Soul Motion along with other ongoing groups for women locally in Totnes and online as part of Movement for Life community group, Totnes Dance Collective and other initiatives. If we've never met, you can meet me and the hall here: [https://www.facebook.com/reel/1781962222826897](https://www.facebook.com/reel/1781962222826897) And more about movement & community here: [https://vimeo.com/450821255](https://vimeo.com/450821255) In the event that I'm unwell, my partner Adam Griffin (certified Soul Motion teacher & Friday Night Dance participant) would cover-lead an evening. In the unlikely event that we are both unwell then one of our graduates (who also attends the group ongoingly) would lead the session. Please feel welcome to join, any questions be in touch. [www.leelafisk.com](http://www.leelafisk.com) [www.devonschoolsoulmotion.org](http://www.devonschoolsoulmotion.org) #### Relational Awareness We foster good relations in the dance. We generate inclusive community. We feel it's real testimony to have been able to co-exist sensitively where group members also have external relationships such as therapist/client or ex-partners within the group. We do not recommend joining the group afresh if you have unresolved issues with someone who attends — please check with me first if you are unsure. For anyone in a professional capacity wanting to check about possible clients or vice versa, please contact me directly — we check by initials in the first instance. We (Adam and myself) run several other groups that I can point you to if needed. #### **Cancellation Policy** If you’re unable to attend after payment: - No refunds are available. - However, you may transfer your place to someone else — provided they start by the second session. | |||
| Wheel of Consent Temple | Sat, Nov 14, 2:00 PM UTC | Wild Goose Space, St Werburghs, Bristol | 3mxkanr3vcx22 | Curator | We welcome you to join us for The Wheel of Consent Temple. The Wheel of Consent is a powerful embodied consent practice which goes beyond other models of consent by clarifying four different kinds of consensual interaction. Each of them feels different in our body and requires a different kind of consent agreement to be made. These four dynamics apply to all areas of life, including with friends, family and colleagues, as well as in our most intimate and sexual interactions. The Wheel of Consent therefore serves as a basis for building a broader culture of consent within all our communities, and particularly our sex-positive ones. In the afternoon you will be have the opportunity to ‘wake up the hands’ - a solo practice which is the core of the Wheel of consent. You will also be invited to observe and experience each of the Wheel's four quadrants, through exchanges of simple, non-sexual touch. Any shared touch is optional and you will be supported to be in consent at all times. For the second half during the Temple, we will guide the group towards a consensual co-created space of play: solo and/or with others. Throughout, you will be supported to use the Wheel as a foundation and gateway into solo and shared physical touch, if that is your choice, to whatever degree of sensuality, sexuality or simplicity you feel drawn. **This Temple is open to those who have been to at least one temple or other sex positive space. It is an excellent intro for new folk and also a re-fresh and reminder for those who are more experienced in Temple spaces of Sacred S\*xuality.** **Date ** : Saturday 15th November **Time :** 2pm to 10.30pm **Venue :** Wild Goose Space, The Yard, St Werburghs, Bristol, Bs2 9YP [https://www.wildgoosespace.org.uk/](https://www.wildgoosespace.org.uk/) **Things to bring: ** - An offering/flower for the shrine to Consent - A dish to share for dinner - Something tasty and delicious to share with the group for snack during the evening temple (We will provide herbal teas and a fruit platter). **Further information: ** This Temple is open to everyone and 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. FOR COUPLES: Please make your agreements together before you arrive at Temple. It is totally fine if you wish to stay purely with each other during the night. Temple is a sober space. All genders are welcome. **Cancellation:** We have a no refund policy for the Temple. However, you are welcome to sell your ticket on to a friend. If you do so, please do let us know and send us their email so we can give the info about the temple. Any questions please contact Shanti on **07875 151582** Welcoming you with an open hearts, Shanti & Rupert **About us** _ **Rupert** _ Rupert has trained in depth with many internationally renowned teachers of intimacy, relationship, sexuality and consent. He has been holding space for groups since 1992 and has facilitated consent workshops for over a decade.

| Unfold Your Soul - get your words heard | – | – | 3mxkanuxbsp22 | Curator | **Writing helps. ** **You scribble when you're alone; it's a valve; and those journals are only for your eyes. Sometimes, things that sound good come out... Maybe you even dared to share something once, with a friend - but perhaps it got no response at all; or at least nothing that bared any recognition of the trepidation that it took to be offered.** **Maybe it feels like you'll be laughed at; or even worse, politely endured. Maybe you have no real sense of whether what you have is Good. Maybe no-one in your circles does this kind of thing, (or at least, admits to it).** **And yet. ** **Isn't it one of the Truest things? Isn't it the place where you actually feel free? Could it be, that other people in the world might be waiting for those very words to reach in and touch their own deepest places?** **You could keep your notebooks closed, and perhaps have all those hours of honesty, liberation, and transmission, end in an attic or a skip.** _ **Or, maybe, you could enable their transition into the world, across airwaves, and ultimately - into hearts?** _ Whether it's towards an appearance on-stage; online; a private rendition for a loved-one; or a living-room reading; imagine being gently guided through a process of emergence, to the point of allowing your own words to actually come to life, so they can be carried onwards through the world by those who felt the resonance.  _"To read a poem is to hear it with our eyes; to hear it is to see it with our ears."_ Octavio Paz  6 hours of personalised attention, for whatever it takes to lift-up your purpose and let your language breathe… Through a method developed through extensive experience of work _with_ poets, and _as a_ poet; writing, performing, curating, directing, teaching and coaching on the spoken-word and personal-development scenes. Booking gives you a link for scheduling online meetings into my meeting calendar, spread at your own pace. You can choose whether to book all 6 immediately, or take them one-by-one. 1. We'll break down where you're at so far, and identify where you're reaching for - not just on a superficial level, but giving space for motivations which may not have been able to surface into awareness… Maybe you have a tentative dream about really taking this up as a potential life-path, or maybe you just want to get-over the crippling mental fallout that comes anytime you consider sharing your work with a friend. From here we'll design the flow of your other sessions, depending if we need more focus on integrating inhibitions or stage technique, for example. 2. Session two will generally be spent looking at your written pieces. Exploring how you feel about them, editing if necessary. You might go away with some homework if we feel like there's further crafting to do. 3. Time to create some inner-support, call-in some energetic tricks, and work with whatever resources you that you'll be able to re-conjure when you most need it. We might find ancestors, an animal, a body-experience or gesture that can somatically help you access your most expanded state. 4. By session 4 we'll be ready to look at All the reasons ‘Why Not’. We all have hidden belief-systems and inner voices which attempt to protect us through restraint and oppression. If we meet these strategies with kindness we can be more aware when they are in control, and can move towards finding other ways to meet their needs. 5. The voice. This is where you really get to feel the energetic transmission of reading your words well. It's great if you are able to speak it by-heart at this point, but no drama if not. We'll hone-in on the theatrical details of delivering that specific piece; as well as learning some general tools for confident and captivating presence. 6. Session 6 will take place after you've had a practice-run and done the thing, we'll sit on our laurels and find all the reasons to be proud, as well as tuning-up, if necessary, and scheming for your future path. **I'm Rozi, I'm fascinated by the wealth that lies hidden inside people, and I believe in the wisdom of those who hang-back and aren't so self-assured.** It bores me that entitled people are the ones who occupy all the airtime, and I don't believe we can build a complete or integrated picture without ALL of the diverse myriad voices and perspectives.

If you'd like to chat to me before you make your mind up to go for it, then [**email me**](mailto:rozi@believethebird.com) and we can talk things over. I'll answer any questions, and you can get a flavour of my style, so you can be certain it suits you before we begin.

| Sound Bath at Warrior & Wild | Sun, Nov 1, 4:00 PM UTC | Warrior & Wild, Days Mill, Fountain St Nailsworth, GL6 0BL | 3mxkanvbej622 | Curator | Sunday 1st November 4-5pm, £20 At Warrior & Wild, Days Mill, Fountain St Nailsworth, GL6 0BL A 60 minute session to relax, reset and take time for yourself on the weekend of 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. This sound bath will take place at dusk, as the sun begins to set, where it said for the veil to be at its thinnest- between the spirit and the physical world. So a super powerful time to be in a sound bath! 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, the voice and other sound healing instruments. All welcome, no experience necessary. This is a sound bath is using a technique called “frequency of Light”, which is a beautifully gentle yet relaxing and nervous system regulating modality. 💛 **A bit more about Frequency of Light ©** 💛 This is a multidimensional crystal sound healing experience designed to support the harmonisation of your full energetic anatomy. Each session begins by gently attuning to your heart’s intention, bringing awareness to what is ready to be released, received, or remembered. You are invited to rest deeply, so the body can soften and the nervous system can settle into safety. From here, through a sound journey of light encoded crystal bowls and the voice, your energy field is invited into greater coherence and flow, supporting cellular remembrance, emotional release, and deep nervous system regulation. Each session is unique: you may experience sensation, emotion, imagery, deep stillness, or profound rest. Whatever arises is welcomed, and the medicine meets you exactly where you are. Step into the temple of sound, and allow yourself to remember your own harmonic Frequency of Light. Mats, blankets and bolsters are provided. If you have any questions, feel free to message Bethan at [rootedwithbethan@gmail.com](mailto:rootedwithbethan@gmail.com) Hope to see you there, Bethan xx **Accessibility:** Please note, this venue requires going up one flight of stairs. There is a toilet on the same level as the venue.

(I also hold 1:1 and private events, drop me a message if you'd like to find out more) **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! | |||

| How to Envision a Better World | Sun, Nov 8, 6:00 PM UTC | Online from London | 3mxkanyvbyn22 | Curator | This innovative workshop is about reactivating our power for envisioning and developing practical skills for change. Combining guided meditation with group discussion, we explore alternatives to current systems in areas such as education and healthcare. How can we use digital technology for the common good? What form of governance would genuinely serve humanity? Envisioning practice starts with open, foundational questions. We suspend our knowledge of what’s going on out there, and allow ourselves to see and feel the possible. After the meditation, we share some of our inner experiences and discuss how the best insights could be developed in the real world. You'll leave the session with tools that can be used both in individual practice and as part of group decision-making. | |||

| Avebury Drum Birthing with Toni & Bethan | Sat, Nov 7, 10:00 AM UTC | The Henge Shop, Avebury, SN8 1RF | 3mxkao2qufg22 | Curator | Join Toni & Bethan for a magical experience of creating (birthing) your own frame drum and beater. Held in the lovely Henge Shop in Avebury which has a gorgeous view over the stones come rain or shine. **Dates Available:** (We have added some additional dates for Autumn 2026 due to popular demand!) [Monday 14th September](https://dandelion.events/e/drumbirthingaveburysept) - The Henge Shop, Avebury, Wiltshire [Sunday 11th October](https://dandelion.events/e/drumbirthingwestonbirt) - Westonbirt Arboretum, Tetbury, Gloucestershire [Saturday 7th November](https://dandelion.events/e/drumbirthingaveburynovember) - The Henge Shop, Avebury, Wiltshire **(the one you're on!)** If you can't make any of the dates above, let us know as we have a waitlist for future dates too. **Who is this course for?** Drum birthing is such a wonderful experience, for anyone who wishes to make their own drum and use it to support their wellbeing, to use in circle or in their healing or shamanic practice. We were all born with our own internal drum – our heartbeat. We hear the heartbeat of our mother in her womb. Making contact with a drum awakens our sacred, awakens our soul. The beat of the drum represents the heartbeat of Mother Earth herself and hearing or facilitating this “heartbeat” by playing the drum, brings healing and a deeper understanding of your connection with all life. **What will you do and experience?** You will have the opportunity to create your sacred drum and beater (depending on your choice) and be attuned to your drum and explore how the sound of the drum supports your (& others) wellbeing. The day will also include guided journeying and meditation to connect with our hoops, hides and drums, and of course, and opportunity to drum together! This full day course covers many aspects, and you will learn: ✓ The benefits of drumming, your wellbeing protocol and practise. ✓ Why rest, integration and grounding are so important for your body’s healing process. ✓ How to care for drum and tune your drum. ✓ How intention, imagery and drumming work together. ✓ How to create your own drum and beater. **Choosing your hoop & hide** You have the option of hoop sizes and animal hide depending on what feels drawn to you. When you secure your place, you will be sent a guide with more information to help you make your decision, which will be required by the 23rd Oct 2026. The remaining payment will be needed 24 hours before the drum birthing day. Depending on your hoop/hide choice, total cost is as below (this is inclusive of the £165 deposit): | | 14" Birch | 14" Willow | 16" Willow | 18" Ash | | Goat or Buffalo | £285 (£165+£120) | £295 (£165+£130) | | £320 (£165+£155) | | Red deer (stag/doe) | £315 (£165+£150) | £325 (£165+£160) | £345 (£165+£180) | | | Horse | £370 (£165+£205) | £380 (£165+£215) | £400 (£165+£235) | | **Sustainability & Ethics** - the supplier information: Wherever possible, I’ve sourced the hoops and hides from supplier’s whose ethos is ethical and sustainable. Some prepare their own hides, others have imported hides which have a certificate of cleansing.

| PlaYfiGHtinG cluB foR ADulTs | Thu, Nov 5, 7:30 PM UTC | Windmill Hill Community Association & Social Club, Vivian St, Bristol, UK | 3mxkao4hpk422 | Curator | _Wanna laugh like you haven't since you were a child? Find out what your body can do? Get involved with other people's shapes and forms, in innocent games of intensity? Wanna practice feeling in control of how others meet and engage with you physically? Or just want a fun workout that leaves you in mutual delight and expansion with a group of playmates?_ \*\*\*HEADS-UP! NOVEMBER'S CLASS WILL NOW BE TAKING PLACE ON A THURSDAY\*\*\*  **Opportunities can be rare in our world to meet other bodies close-up in ways that aren't sexual, sporting or aggressive; yet most of us can relate to the aliveness of wrangling in this way as children, or watching animals instinctually do the same, and the simple innocence of rough and tumbling…** **As well as a joyful way to inhabit the body and just being downright harmless good fun- Playfighting can also be a tool for insight, understanding and transformation - in sense-of-self, and in relationships.** Having ‘no-stakes’ offers us permission to explore strength and sensations together as adults, from a place of consent and empowerment. **Playfighting is for you, whatever you size, age, strength, gender, or level of experience. You direct your own involvement and can choose your level of engagement with any exercise. It is not about technique or muscle - it can be equally as fun to loose as to get points - but it also gives us the opportunity for deep learning about our life strategies in a safe circle of connection.** In the ring we can become aware of the habits and patterns which surface when we perceive competition, and how they can manifest outside of the workshop arena. Ultimately Playfighting can help us notice blind-spots; overcome adversities; make peace; and apply new attitudes as confidence grows. Whether you have fought before with PlayfightingUK, or informally with friends, or you're just curious to reclaim some playful power and experiment in a safe space; you're welcome to join us, **every first Friday evening of the month**. All sessions include games, some techniques, physical play, conscious competition and energetic catharsis - with plenty of time to spar in a held Playfighting ring. **We'll cover the important foundations of Playfighting; building safety by exploring ways to maintain connection and awareness while in an encounter; as well as skills and techniques for deepening - enabling you to track, explore and enjoy the effects of each game on the psyche.** Please note: we need a minimum number of people for the class to go ahead, so please book ahead of time, and do invite your friends! If we don't have a minimum number 48 hours before we're due to run, we'll cancel the session and refund the cost. "...I felt challenged and safe the whole time. I was amazed at how quickly connections ran deep with people, and it was a very lighthearted way to learn a lot about myself...” Charlie "So Much Fun! ...I haven't laughed so much in ages. Rozi is an enthusiastic, clear and engaging teacher" Sarah "I feel great! Like a gym and playground all rolled into one" Andrew "Really accessible & safe. Despite my health restrictions, I could participate & was supported..... Thx to Rozi for putting on such a breakthrough adventurous safe space. She manges to weave so much fun & play into these beautiful sessions." Richard "Down to earth and fun but also nourishing and healing and life-giving" "I feel closer to my inner lion-cub as a result and am still 4 days later riding the high from the session. I've been talking about it to people non-stop." "Great fun. A tonic to the serious job of living... I hooted with laughter, roared with anger and giggled with joy." "I arrived with my body hurting in a bad way and left with it hurting in a good way!" "Absolutely loved being able to explore my power" # YOUR FACILITATOR ###  **Rozi Hilton:** A multi-skilled facilitator, Rozi holds-space at the intersection of Play and personal-development - teaching embodied awareness and authenticity.

| Kundalini Activation Process (KAP) Glastonbury at Avalon Centre with Clara Collings and Juliet Leonard | Fri, Nov 27, 7:00 PM UTC | Avalon Centre, 1 King Street, Glastonbury, BA6 9JX | 3mxkao56kp422 | Curator | This 2.5 hour workshop is a powerful transmission of raw Kundalini and Non Dual consciousness to raise your own frequency, clear negative energies held in your energetic body, dissolve mistaken belief systems and habits that no longer serve you and ultimately raise your own Kundalini Energy and awaken to Consciousness. ### _ **What is KAP?** _ KAP is a direct energy transmission of Raw Kundalini and non dual states of Consciousness. This is a downward descending energy that clears and cleans your energetic field through your chakras. It raises your frequency so that negative energies are forced to detach and be processed. The energy stirred is your own life force energy which in turn may activate your own Kundalini awakening process. This is a physical experience of energetic movement within your physical body. Meaning that your physical body will respond in cathartic release or kriya (movements or changes caused by a spiritual practice) that can be seen and felt. It feels amazing and natural! It is a remembering, a clearing and a homecoming. This is the apex of energy embodiment through transmission. KAP is safe but very powerful yet never overwhelming; preparing your subtle energy body for your own ‘spiritual’ progression and healing. This **video (may only be visible on a laptop) will explain** more about how KAP works and What it is….. <oembed url="https://youtu.be/tBDCq-0XMSc?si=1hHEVmkmhXL5h1QT"></oembed> ### What to expect Like reiki and healing modalities, KAP is received passively by the recipient with no skills or experience required. You lie down on a yoga mat and we will touch you on your main chakra points whilst loud music is played, either on speakers or on headphones. What happens next is extraordinary grace. KAP is not part of a religion and requires no faith at all to work. Shakti energy is very much present in this transmission, therefore it has an innate intelligence to provide the upgrades appropriate for the person at that time of their lives and conditions. It will never give any more or less than the person needs. You receive exactly what you need with every session in a steadily increasing process. The ‘process’ continues for a few days after the session. Integrating this energy creates gentle shifts to benefit you in all areas of your life including an awareness and intuition in relationships, physical and mental wellbeing, diet and health choices. KAP has a profound effect on the brain, a rewiring occurs creating shifts in self belief, intuition, psychic abilities, perspective and recovery. KAP has shown to create improvements in those with chronic depressive illness and PTSD or a traumatic history. Although not it's primary goal, which is the raising and connection of human consciousness, it can have healing effects on many. KAP has a very positive effect on those living with Kundalini Syndrome, an uncomfortable condition sometimes caused accident or by will-power practices or sometime trauma. KAP will help your body to catch up and be better evolved to hold the increased energetic activity you feel. You will be put back in control of your enhanced spiritual development. **A Sacred Practice** : Kundalini Activation Process is rooted in ancient yogic traditions, designed to awaken the dormant energy within you. Each session offers the chance to experience **spiritual enlightenment** , **emotional healing** , and a deeper sense of connection to the divine. **Suitable for everyone?** Well, almost everyone. Those with delusional psychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia and current manias should not attend, nor should those with epilepsy. Women in their third trimester of pregnancy are also advised to wait until after birth as the sessions can be very physical. We advise that you do not drink or do drugs within at least 24 hours of receiving KAP, including medicinal mushrooms etc. Smoking or vaping or drinking caffeine is completely fine. For some people, eating only a light vegetarian meal on the day of receiving KAP is beneficial to their energetic experience. **Venue Location:** Avalon Community Centre 1 King Street Glastonbury BA6 9JY  ### **Who We Are** **About Juliet** : **Juliet Leonard is the South West & Birmingham's only L2 Kundalini Activation Process & Non Duality facilitator. Also known as Life Force Activation, she is a guide and mentor for Kundalini and Non dual states of consciousness through transmission.** As a dancer, actress, and Early Years Professional specializing in children with special needs, I have spent my life dedicated to healing and caring for others. As a wife and mother of three—two of whom have special medical and educational needs—I bring a profound sense of compassion and dedication to my work. I am also a certified Reiki practitioner, with years of experience in energy healing. I have offered KAP to hundreds of clients. My approach is grounded in deep care, compassion, and a commitment to helping you awaken to your fullest potential. I am a Yoga teacher in training and a dedicated student of esoteric divine enquiry through a variety of enlightened masters. **About Clara:** **Clara has spent the last 15 years immersed in self-discovery and healing through spiritual practice, tantra, and embodiment. She is deeply experienced in energy healing modalities such as Reiki and VortexHealing and became a certified KAP (Kundalini Activation Process) facilitator in 2023.** In 2021, Clara underwent a profound Kundalini Awakening, walking the path with this transformative energy. Through firsthand experience, she has witnessed how Kundalini energy can inspire deep healing and personal transformation, grounding her work in authenticity and insight ### **Experience, Awaken and Become your greatest potential** Join us for this **cathartic** and **transformational** experience, where divine energy flows to clear away blockages and expand your consciousness. Visit [**SoulFlowEnergy.com**](http://www.soulflowenergy.com) or[kundalini-activation.co.uk](https://kundalini-activation.co.uk) to see testimonials and hear about the profound changes others have experienced through this work. Step into your true divine potential and embrace the powerful shifts that await you. This class lasts over two hours with a one hour transmission, before is an introduction and after a debrief and sharing circle. Feel free to contact us to ask any questions about Kundalini Activation we'll be happy to help. Juliet & Clara x By registering for this class, you agree to the following: Kundalini Activation can involve physical movement and may support well-being. However, it is a physical activity and there is always a risk of injury. You agree to listen to your body, stop if in pain or discomfort, and seek help and support from us if needed. You accept full responsibility for any injuries, no matter how unlikely. Kundalini Activation is not a substitute for medical or psychological treatment and may not be suitable for those prone to manic or delusional episodes. By booking, you confirm you are in general physically fit and do not have schizophrenia, mania or a delusional diagnosis. The practice may bring up and process repressed emotions and past trauma, potentially causing physical or emotional responses. You acknowledge that Kundalini Activation is not responsible for any post-treatment symptoms, and we advise anyone experiencing medical symptoms to seek professional medical advice. Please inform us of any new relevant medical conditions or limitations. We are always available to advise and discuss any concerns before and after the sessions. | |||
| Avebury Women's Drumming Circle | Sat, Dec 5, 10:00 AM UTC | The Henge Shop, Avebury, SN8 1RF | 3mxkao5hotf22 | Curator | Join for a morning to gather and connect to the beautiful power of the drum. We will move through meditation, drumming, singing and sharing. We meet monthly upstairs in the Henge Shop in Avebury which has a gorgeous view over the stones come rain or shine. And if the weather is good, we may venture outside for a drum too! Gathering a few days before the Sagittarius new moon and as we head towards the festive season, this will be a lovely opportunity to go inwards, take time for ourselves whilst feeling into that sense of expanse, growth and hope. Also in the beginnings of the time of festivities, we'll take a nod towards the idea of deep rest with the Winter Solstice, offering that sense of balance with all of the responsibilities this time of year can also bring, and the breadth of emotions that can come with it too. No drumming experience necessary. Drums/rattles can be provided. If you have your own, you are invited to bring it along so we have more to go round! 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 xx **🌿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). (I also hold 1:1 and private events, drop me a message if you'd like to find out more) **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! | |||

Come join us in North Wales, where nature’s tranquillity meets the power of mindful movement, creative expression, and healing. Let us help you reconnect with your inner self and rediscover the joy of living authentically. What to expect: **Live 121 demo's** led by Sonja, demonstrating PCT, EMDR & IFS **How to set up Private Practice** a supportive discussion in how to set up your own private practice ** ** **Peer Support Sessions** to discuss our internal process, transference, parallel processes, deepening our self awareness **Creative Sessions** to develop your practice, developing confidence to use your skills, which you can take into your practice **Theory refresh** discussions, as sometimes it's helpful to remind ourselves of the theory we're taught and how we can use theory to help deepen our client work **Meditation and Mindfulness:** Awaken your inner peace with guided meditations and mindfulness practices that bring you into the present moment, surrounded by the healing energy of nature. **Connect with Nature:** Walk with us and enjoy this grounding, mindful experience, allowing your body and mind to switch off from the world and enjoy the peace and tranquillity nature offers. **Cold Water Immersion:** Awaken your senses and revitalize your energy with a transformative cold water experience in nature, designed to invigorate your body and refresh your mind. **Outdoor Fires and Music:** Enjoy the magic of outdoor fires under the stars, accompanied by music that uplifts and soothes the soul. **Rest and Restore:** Using the beautiful surroundings, and the abundance of space, take a bath in our spectacular Victorian roll top baths, take a nap in the spacious bedrooms, dine together (or alone) in our beautiful dining room. One of the bonuses of our location is the amount of space, you can immerse yourself as much or as little as you choose (there's no pressure to do anything) Meet your hosts _Nicola:_ When I was first asked to write about myself, my immediate reaction was, “I’m not writing a bio!” But after a quiet word with myself, I realised — I have nothing to lose and so much to be proud of. I see myself as a lifelong learner. I began my NHS career as a paramedic in 2003, later transitioning into nursing in 2012. I’ve always viewed my role in healthcare as a privilege. I started nursing in the community because I wanted to meet people where they’re most at ease — in their homes. That setting offered a unique and deeply human perspective on care, one that inspired me to further my training and become a district nurse. That year of study gave me not just qualifications, but clarity about who I am and how I want my career to grow. Each day I spend in this role is enriched by the people I meet and the lives I’m invited into. I bring my whole self to every moment — whether I’m holding someone’s hand as they take their last breath, supporting a mental health crisis, or treating a minor health issue with the respect it still deserves. One of my greatest passions is teaching. I love to share knowledge and support newly qualified nurses as they find their feet. I don’t pretend to know everything — I lead with honesty and creativity. My approach includes crafts, games, poetry, and fun — things not often seen in the traditional structure of the NHS, but that create space for connection and real learning. I’m a Professional Nurse Advocate, which means I provide clinical supervision and emotional support to nurses — I listen, I guide, and I hold space. I’m also proud to be a Queen’s Nurse, a recognition I worked toward for many years. And while I hold those titles with pride, my greatest achievement is being a mum to my three wonderful children. _ **Sonja:** _ "Whenever I’m asked to write about myself, my hope is that you see the real me. I’ve been working with people my entire career (30 years), but it was only when I became a therapist that everything fell into place. I finally felt I was where I belonged. My experiences, both personal and professional, have been rich and nurturing, embracing a personality I’d describe as spirited, bold, and deeply caring. I have worked in many fields relating to trauma and love every aspect of it. As a result, I often find myself working most of the time—but I don’t see it as “work.” The foundation of everything I do is connection and communication: building trust through congruence, empathy, and compassion. I’m also continually working on myself and likely will be for the rest of my life. The ability to grow, develop, and learn is such a special gift the universe offers to all living beings. What we choose to do with this magic is truly limitless. I feel excited, privileged, and humbled to be spending time with others at the retreat, offering some of my knowledge that might help you on your journey. I’m an open book (at least, I like to think so!), and I can’t wait to get to know each and every one of you". I’ve reached a point in life where, through challenges, growth, and experience, I’ve developed deep gratitude for the everyday and the simple. I remain curious, creative, and committed to meaningful connection. I embrace change, I welcome challenge, and I believe wholeheartedly in authenticity — and in people. It’s a privilege to be invited to be part of this beautiful retreat. I look forward to bringing creativity, holding space, and contributing to a safe, welcoming environment. I’m truly excited to be part of it. **So what are our ethics, values, and vison with our retreats…** We believe it's important to share this with you, as it will give you a true sense of who we are, the foundation upon which this space is built, and what you will be supporting and engaging with should you choose to book with us. - VULNERABILITY - SAFTEY - COMPASSION - DIVERSITY - AUTHENTICITY “A NURTURING ENVIRONMENT INVITING PEOPLE TO PAUSE, REFLECT, AND EVALUATE THEIR NEXT/CURRENT STEPS...” "A SPACE FOR GROWTH AND LEARNING, WHERE WISDOM FLOWS NOT JUST FROM THE FACILITATORS BUT FROM EVERYONE, THE BELIEF THAT EACH PERSON HAS SOMETHING VALUABLE TO OFFER." - HONESTY - ACCESIBILITY - COMMUNITY - ADAPTABILITY - OPENNESS "WE STRIVE TO CREATE A SPACE WHERE PEOPLE CAN TRULY CONNECT WITH THEMSELVES AND OTHERS THROUGH AUTHENTIC RELATING, FOSTERING DEEPER RELATIONSHIPS BOTH INWARDLY AND OUTWARDLY."

| Sex Club: Berlin - Weekend Retreat I | Sat, Feb 20, 10:00 AM UTC | Holographic Healing Nest, Eisenbahnstraße 11, Berlin, Deutschland | 3mxkaofqmr222 | Curator | [**Sex Club**](http://www.sexclubme.com) **was developed in London 8 years ago to provide a space to process and explore the changing nature of our sexuality in a therapeutic way, and take an active role in its continued evolution.** It's a clothes-on space where we inquire into our sexuality via spoken inquiries and embodied explorations all influenced and informed by modern psychology, psychotherapy, somatic experience and conscious sexuality practises. **Sex Club was founded in London eight years ago to create a space to process and explore the changing nature of our sexuality in a therapeutic way, and take an active role in its continued evolution.** It is a clothes-on environment where we engage with our sexuality through spoken self inquiry and embodied explorations, all informed by modern psychology, psychotherapy, somatic practices, and conscious sexuality approaches. _★★★★★ **“** __ **I truly recommend Sex Club. It's a personal development/therapeutic setting, which is very well designed! It's set up that you don't need to push yourself towards something you don’t want to. I very much enjoyed the humbleness of Juliane. Even though I lead sex positive Temple events, I learned and got lots of insights. I got inspired, braver and even more grounded to talk about my wishes and desires. I got to know myself even better which lays a strong foundation for my confidence and self-worth, within a sexual and outside of a sexual context.”** _ _Raminta - Temple Facilitator, Berlin_ **WEEKEND THEMES:** Desires, Boundaries, Fears, Communication, Intimacy, Touch **TIMES** : Sat 11h - 17:00h (Berlin, CET) + Sun 10:30h-16:30h, with breaks. **PARTICIPANTS:** min. 6 - max. 24 people **PRICE:** Low Income: 150€, Standard Income: 210€, Supporter: 270€ Further discounted tickets available on request depending on your circumstances. **GENDERED SPACE** : Mixed **LANGUAGES:** English, German **LEVEL OF NUDITY:** No nudity _★★★★★ **“It's not what I expected. But what I expected pales in comparison to what it actually was. This weekend was like stepping into another consciousness for a couple of days. A place to leave your social norms at the door and be playful and explore and learn about yourself. And become comfortable connecting with strangers."** - David F._ **WHY & WHAT** Desires and boundaries are not static. They evolve and change. You might want to define, refine and/or review your desires and boundaries around intimacy and sexuality. You might want to inquire into your fears and release patterns that don't serve you anymore. We will hold **a space where you can reclaim, deepen and redefine intimacy and sexuality towards yourself and others, with focus on desires, boundaries, shame, deep listening, communication, power dynamics and touch.** You'll be guided to **find your own answers in relation to your sexuality and learn from the collective wisdom of the group**. Inquiries are done in smaller groups with bigger group reflections at the end of each exercise to practise authentic communication, and have a knowledge exchange between as many participants as possible. Sex Club is always evolving and growing, with each group we learn and refine our process. But, some things have held true from our first ever groups - the space we create together is **brave and held, playful and deep, supportive and challenging enough that we stretch and grow without pushing ourselves to go anyway we’re not yet ready to go.** The process is informed by a set of principles that help form the container for each person to go on their individual journey, to explore the parts of themselves that most need exploration and to find areas within themselves to expand into. It’s a beautiful and transformative process that invites you into a greater sense of joy and liberation in your relationships, your relationship to sex and your emotions. Regardless of your sexual orientation, preferences, gender expression, religious beliefs or disbeliefs, whether you’re single, partnered, monogamous, polyamorous, have a lot of sex or none at all, you’re invited to come as you are, by yourself, with your friend/s, lover/s or partner/s. This is a group journey with like-minded people who share the same curiosity. _★★★★★ **“Sex Club stirred up things that weren't even in my consciousness and allowed me to release some deep stored emotions. Having the space to explore my own needs and desires, hearing others sharing and seeing things from a male perspective was eye opening, freeing and has given me a lot to work on. The energy created from these courses are special. I experience big shifts from this work and I am incredibly grateful to Jules and Conor for the safe space they hold and for modelling vulnerability and openness. I can't recommend Sex Club enough.”** - Binta Patel - Personal Development Coach_ **ABOUT THE WEEKEND** Each day follows a similar structure with content building on what came before. The flow of each day is designed to bring us deeper into connection with ourselves and each other. **DAY 1** **On Saturday, we arrive together, get to know each other and build trust. You will be encouraged to be explicit in articulating your experience in a low stakes environment whilst at the same time hearing from other people and therefore expanding your vocabulary around desires, fears and boundaries.** **10.45h** - Arriving into the space **11.00h** - We begin with the principles and agreements of how we hold the space together **12.00h** - Pods: a smaller group within in the group for you to check in with each morning and inquiries **13.30h** - Lunch **14:30h** - Spoken and embodied inquiries into the themes of the day **16.30h** - Check-out **17.00h** - Close **DAY 2** **On Sunday, we go deeper together, we practise in a more embodied way, exploring power, becoming comfortable with touch - how to ask for what we want, communicate boundaries, give touch (platonic only), receive and experience pleasure and will flow into an Intimacy Jam together putting together all we practised.** **10.15h** - Arriving into the space **10:30h** - Pods: a smaller group within in the group for you to check in with each morning **12h -** Spoken and embodied inquiries into the themes of the day **13:00h** - Lunch **14:00h** - Spoken and embodied inquiries into the themes of the day **16.00h** - Check-out **16.30h** - Close Over the weekend we will create a container together where through shared vulnerability and a commitment to each other we’ll create group trust so it will feel safe to go deeper into our experiences, de-armour insecurities and shame through exposure and **find new confidence and comfort in ourselves as sexual beings**. Whilst we will offer a framework of exercises, this course very much focuses on tapping into the collective knowledge and experience of the group. _ **★★★★★ “I can't thank you enough for the weekend. It opened my eyes to a lot of what I've been hiding from myself and really shook up the way I connect with other human beings in such a positive way. Each exercise brought me further in touch with myself and closer to understanding my sexuality. Some things were challenging to face but I am incredibly grateful I have been able to drop some of the burdens I've gotten so used to carrying."** A., London_ **As with every Sex Club it works on multiple levels. You have the opportunity to:** - Practise communication about sex in details, in a trusted, non-judgemental and low stakes environment - Spend the day with a group of like-minded people enquiring and practising a **series of carefully-designed exercises based around self-inquiry and authentic connection that you can continue to practise at home**. - **Inquiry into your sexuality, and through awareness acquire agency to change patterns that don’t serve you anymore** - **Hear and learn from other peoples’ experience** and knowledge and expand your vocabulary. **IS THIS FOR YOU?** - This course is fully inclusive and valuable to everyone regardless of relationship status or model you’re in, age (18+), ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation and experience, religious beliefs, income and otherwise. - Although this workshop is therapeutic, it is not therapy. Whilst we set up a container that enables trust and honesty, we ask everyone to take responsibility for their experience. Please speak to your therapist if you have experienced abuse or trauma through touch or otherwise before you decide to take this workshop. - No previous experience in Sex Club or similar workshops is required. - No partner is required and everyone will have the opportunity to work with different people in order to enjoy a greater range of experience. **PRACTICALS** - Please come wearing comfortable clothing. - Bring a refillable water bottle. - There will be a break for lunch. Please bring any food or snacks you’ll need to sustain you. There are also shops close if you prefer going out for lunch.

Sexual liberation is at the heart of individual transformation, without which there can be no meaningful societal progress. To this end, I co-founded Sex Club in 2017. When designing and facilitating group processes, I focus on tapping into the existing wisdom and resources of the individual, and the exchange of their process within the group. This creates by nature a connected up-to-date peer-to-peer learning environment As a counsellor, I support individuals and couples to resolve inner conflict and strengthen their self-leadership in all areas of life. [www.julianemueller.co](http://www.julianemueller.co) _ **★★★★★ "** __**What a wonderful experience! I am still integrating how much I learned! I felt very safe in the "brave" space Jules created. It was a fruitful exploration of the topics. Beautiful exchanges with the group, simple embodiment practices, and empathetic facilitation. Everyone should have the chance to participate in such an event!**__ **"** - Louise Plessis, Berlin_ _ **★★★★★ "The space was held beautifully and created an environment where I could share things I'd never spoken about before. They also encouraged us and created a framework for us to feel into how much was right to share at any moment, to stay in the learning zone rather than the panic zone or comfort zone. Lots of depth, and also lightness and joy."** - Emilia M., London_ _ ** ★★★★★ "Loved the weekend. It helped me to get a better perspective on some interesting behaviours and subconscious programs still at play. It was so good that the second day was flexible. When peoples rawness came up from the second day some of the activities changed to accommodate this which was perfect! Can't wait for the next retreat.”** - George G., London_ [FIND ALL REVIEWS HERE](https://www.sexclubme.com/reviews-faq) **REFUNDS POLICY:** Please note, we only arrange refunds in exceptional circumstances though you may pass your ticket on to a friend or a different event. | |||

| Soflty Woven Residential Retreat with Rosemary O'Brien, Emma De Salis Young & Lucy Wylde | Fri, Oct 23, 4:00 PM UTC | Eden Rise Retreat Centre, Totnes, UK | 3mxkaolncdj22 | Curator | **A residential retreat for womb bearers to restore & weave ourselves home through Earth, Body & Song.** Dearest Kin, Lucy, Rosemary & Emma welcome you to join us for a 3 day residential retreat where we will come together to cocoon ourselves into the softness of autumn, spending an intimate and nourishing time together with like-minded womyn awakening what our hands have always known, how to spin and weave fibres, how to tend to our womb and how to sing ourselves home. This retreat is a dreaming for a deeper connection to our bodies, to our cycles and to the earth itself so that we can unravel what it is to step into right relationship with our earth mother once again. **Our Vision** **Softly Woven has been birthed from the inspiration of the journey of what happens when weaving, song and the womb become interwoven with the added depth and magic of womyn coming together to remember these ancestral and simple ways of tending to ourselves, our wombs and each other. ** As we start to cross the threshold through Samhain, there's a transition that begins that asks us to soften into the belly of winter. These can be found through the stories embedded in these lands as the Callieach (Goddess of Winter) awakens and our dreaming begins. During this intimate retreat, we will be inviting in the themes of softness, spaciousness, connection to each other and the land, deeper connection to our wombs, our hearts and our voice, learning the ancestral crafts and gifting ourselves a womb belt/ altar cloth. No experience is needed for this retreat as we welcome you to come and learn with us, to gift yourself space to come and be exactly as you are. Our intention for this retreat is that you leave with skills that you can journey with over winter, weaving, song, womb massage, yoni steaming, herbal medicines to deepen your practices and relationship with yourself and these lands where these medicines and allies reside. **What will I receive from this retreat?** - Accommodation in a dorm room with other women - Seasonal & Locally Sourced Organic meals that are Gluten & Soya free Curated by Wild Goose Kitchen (dietary requirements needed, these meals will include meat options) - A Gift Bag to take home and continue with these practices, including a Dartmoor Hand-crafted Loom, Dartmoor Wool, Herbs for steaming and more tba (Worth over £100) - A chance to create a womb belt to wrap your womb in over winter and dive deep into the holding that this special piece can bring to your life. - Free use of the sauna when it is lit - Learning womb care practices from massage, yoni steaming and other ways to bring yourself back into balance with your womb and your being. - A deepening of sisterhood as we journey together over these few days. - And so much more… **What activities will be offered over our time together?** - Creating a dye bath with Madder and other herbs with Rosemary - Spinning Rituals with Rosemary - Crafting and Weaving with your loom either a womb belt or altar cloth with Rosemary - Womb Massage with Emma - Yoni Steaming Ceremony with Emma - Womb/Heart Voice Journey with Lucy - Gentle Morning Practices with Lucy - Ceremonial concert with Lucy & Emma - Tending to the sisterhood (Anointing ceremony) with All - Blessing our Belts & Altar Pieces with Rose & all - Women's Council & Integration circles - Free time to explore the lands/ Use sauna/ rest/ integrate ### **Meet Your Facilitators:**  **Rosemary Riedel O’Brien** is a multidisciplinary craftswoman devoted to the ancestral arts of weaving, spinning, and natural dye. For over seven years, she has worked intimately with these traditional practices, cultivating a body of work that honours both heritage and the living rhythms of the natural world. Her creations are rooted in a deep reverence for earth, energy, and the unseen threads that connect all beings. As an inspirational soul craft mentor, Rosemary shares the sacred language of fibre through both online offerings and in-person workshops. She guides others in creating meaningful, handwoven pieces such as medicine shawls, womb wraps, blankets, and altar cloths—objects imbued with intention, story, and symbolism. Her teaching invites a return to slowness, presence, and embodied creativity. Rosemary also produces bespoke collections and commissioned works, each inspired by the quiet muses she encounters in nature. Living and working on a smallholding on the western edge of Dartmoor, she balances her creative practice with motherhood and a life closely intertwined with land and season. Through her work, she seeks to preserve ancient wisdom while weaving pathways for connection, healing, and remembrance in the modern world. _ **Soften into Rosemary's offerings here:** _ [www.wildroseweaving.com](http://www.wildroseweaving.com) .jpg) **Emma De Salis Young** is a bodyworker who specialises in women’s health. She runs a full practice offering Womb Continuum Care, fascia based manual therapy for all stages of a woman’s life, from menarche to birth to menopause. Her work is devoted to female physiology, with the intention to restore alignment and vitality so we can experience the full capacity for life that is possible through our bodies. A big part of her work is education, reclaiming the wisdom of traditional ways of tending to our bodies with our own hands, plant allies, and elementals, so we may remember the power we have to support ourselves and each other through all the thresholds we walk as women. She teaches women about their wombs and cycles, and offers understanding and guidance through many of the physical challenges that women experience in today’s culture. Emma is also a musician, a harpist and singer, and loves to craft, spin and weave, flowing with the creativity that comes through the womb. She lives off grid in Pembrokeshire, her ever deepening relationship with the land supporting this prayer that as women we may come home to our bodies, and to the earth. Soften into Emma's offerings here: [_www.emmadesalisyoung.co.uk_](https://www.emmadesalisyoung.co.uk)  **Lucy Wylde** is a musician, a space-holder, breath worker and weaver of women’s gatherings, creating earth inspired sanctuaries where women can soften, reconnect and remember themselves in one of the oldest ways of communing, through a village. Her path has been shaped by lived-experience, sensitivity, and a devotion to ancestral and embodied ways of knowing. She walks between the modern world and older rhythms, weaving together music, movement, ritual and conversation to create spaces that feel safer and alive. Through her journey, her voice has always been a pinnacle point to what she brings to the world and after studying the voice at University and then going on to study Voice Therapy, her knowledge of the voice extends through both worlds of contemporary and therapeutic. As a singer-songwriter, Lucy has an extraordinary ability to craft songs that are both intimate and universal, weaving heartfelt lyrics with melodies that linger long after the final note. Her music brings a warmth and presence that moves the soul, making her performances not only enjoyable but profoundly meaningful. Her visions of Medicine Woman Gathering was born from a life of listening and a deep initiation into early menopause by the age of 31. This work is rooted in a deeper call of what happens when women gather and how the power of our healing when we come together is something that’s unfathomable to anything that has been experienced in her lifetime before and yet the deeper the call, the more uncovering we experience within ourselves and each other. Her commitment to gathering the women & bringing us home to the lands and to each other as a village is very much Lucy's heart-work in this lifetime. Through Lucy's own herstory with her womb she has gained extensive knowledge in diet, nutrition, early menopause and general health and wellbeing that will be very much entwined in this retreat to support you and your own journey of optimal health and wellbeing. Soften into Lucy's offerings here: [www.lucywylde.co.uk](http://www.lucywylde.co.uk)  **Food** We will be gifted with a full-board of nutrient-dense meals that will align with the cycles of the northern hemisphere (Autumn/ Winter) and gift us with knowledge of what to eat to support our system during these wintery months. **Sauna** The sauna will be lit during our afternoon ‘resting’ phases which we are all welcome to use. Please make sure to bring extra towels for sitting on. **How to get there:** Directions of how to get there will be offered once you have booked your space and no later than a month before the retreat begins. We have direct **rail links from Bristol & London** which you are welcome and encourage you to get the train (to **Totnes** ) and we can arrange for a pick-up service. Every part of this retreat will be dreamed with the intention of creating space, integration and wisdom that we can carry throughout our lives. _This retreat is for all who were born with a womb, inclusive of those who have had a hysterectomy & inclusive of non-binary and other folk who are interested in deepening their connection to their womb. _ _Regardless of what phase you see yourself on your womb journey, we welcome you._ _We always want to make sure these retreats are accessible for all, if you are in financial difficulty, please reach out and we will do our best to support you._ _Unfortunately, this site is not accessible for wheelchair users._ | |||
| Read the Land. Re-wild the World. Learn the basics of Rewilidng with Ash Brown (Bees to a Flower) | Thu, Apr 15, 8:30 AM UTC | Totnes, UK | 3mxkaolq5ud22 | Curator | Join us for a weekend of all things Rewilding on September 12 & 13th! Located at an 18-acre restoration site in the south of Devon. We will spend the day walking the land, learning how degraded ecosystems recover, and discovering the practical skills used to bring nature back to life. Followed by food and conversation with fellow nature lovers, guided by [**Ash Brown**](https://www.ashbrownwilding.com/), nature restoration specialist. Successful rewilding means knowing not just what nature needs, but how to read what it is already telling you. This requires you to learn the land beneath your feet, the plants that signal soil health, the species that reveal what is missing, and the forces that are holding an ecosystem back from recovery. Together we will walk an 18-acre site at the very start of its rewilding journey, and learn to see it through the eyes of a restoration specialist. We'll use plant identification to assess the health of the ecosystem, recognise what is stopping it from recovering, and explore the strategies used to bring it back to life. We'll also explore the building of a food forest — how perennial plants, fruit trees, and layered habitats can create a landscape of abundance for both wildlife and people.

| Identify and Forage your Own Mushrooms in the Urban City with Alexandra Lea and Peter Daniel Grant (Bees to a Flower) | Sat, Dec 5, 1:15 PM UTC | London, UK | 3mxkaolry4l22 | Curator | #### **Join us on the 5th of December for Primal's most popular event of the year: a day of all things mushrooms! Located in one of London's local forests. We will spend the day foraging and learning all about mushrooms. How to identify them, what they can be used for, and how to cook edible mushrooms at home. Followed by a special meal cooked by Peter Daniel Grant and a concert.** #### **If you require a low-income ticket and are not on UC, please do reach out at ** [**production@primalgathering.co**](mailto:production@primalgathering.co) ** ** **About Mushroom Foraging** Successful foraging means being able to find tasty, edible mushrooms and avoid the poisonous kind. This requires you to learn about the wild mushrooms in your region that are good to eat. Together we will learn about local trees, and which ones support the kinds of mushrooms you’re after. We'll learn how the mushrooms like to grow — which enjoy growing on dead trees, at the base of specific trees, on the trunk of trees, in well-drained soil, in moist cool soil? You'll learn about the mushroom sizes and shapes. About their colors. About their stems and gills (if they even have gills) and spore prints. A lot goes into identifying a safe-to-eat mushroom. But that makes the experience all the more rewarding. While discovering, a portion of the city, seemingly known, in an unknown, untrodden path and way. **Testimonials:** - _“Alexandra was so knowledgeable and interesting sharing her deep understanding of fungi and their medicinal properties, there was a great weave of practical, scientific and cultural threads and the whole experience was so fun and enjoyable.

| Love Your Rage: A Day for Womxn to Embody the Wild Within | Sat, Oct 17, 9:00 AM UTC | A beautiful venue near Alexandra Palace, London | 3mxkaonej7722 | Curator |  Most of us have been taught to fear our anger. We’ve been conditioned to believe it’s a dangerous emotion, so we hide it. We shrink ourselves, silence our voices, and bury our rage deep inside. If we dare to show it, we’re shamed for being “too much,” and when we can’t suppress ourselves any longer, it erupts and makes us feel unworthy, unlovable, and out of control. **But here’s the truth: your anger is not your enemy. It’s an emotion that contains your passion, your courage, your fire, and your wildness— the gift of aliveness that comes from embodying your pain, grief, joy, hope and wonder. ** **Your anger is SACRED and it’s a source of profound personal power.** The emotion of anger plays a significant role in your life. Anger is your inner compass, a signal that something within you—your boundaries, your values, your morals and the integrity of your truth—has been crossed. When you learn to safely feel, listen to, and honour your sacred rage, it transforms into a powerful portal of clarity, wisdom, strength, creativity and liberation.  #### About the day retreat: This one-of-a-kind retreat is a sanctuary for womxn, femmes and gender non-conforming individuals who are ready to re-align their relationship with anger. Together, we’ll dive deep into the heart of this often misunderstood emotion, exploring its energy through movement, creativity, and connection. You’ll be held in a circle of sisters, and supported every step of the way as you rediscover your wild within. The retreat will be held at a beautiful, private venue, offering a peaceful and deeply containing setting for the day. From 10am to 5pm, you'll be immersed in transformative experiences, and also get to enjoy a delicious plant-based (vegan) lunch, lovingly prepared by our Natural Chef, Nataliya. Snacks and teas will also be provided. _We’re happy to accommodate any dietary needs—just let us know in advance. Detailed information about the programme will be shared with participants a few days before the event to ensure you're fully prepared for this tenderly wild and spirit strengthening day._  _Photos of the venue _ ### ### What to Expect 🌸 **A Safe, Nurturing Space** : Step into a safe environment where you can fully express yourself without fear of judgment. Our skilled facilitators will guide you with care and compassion. 🌸 **Sharing Circles** : Be witnessed in your vulnerability and strength as you share your relationship with anger. Discover the healing power of being truly seen and supported by others on this journey. 🌸 **Movement & Sound** : Unlock the energy of anger through embodied movement practices and vocal expression. Whether it’s shouting, crying, or a silent scream, you’ll have space to release what’s been held inside. A soothing sound bath at the end will help you integrate this energy and find a deeper sense of peace and acceptance. 🌸 **Creative Art Therapy** : Through creative practices, you’ll channel your emotions into an intuitive image that symbolizes your sacred anger, allows you to access wisdom within and serves as a reminder to live courageously and authentically. 🌸 **Practical Tools for Everyday Life** : Leave with actionable tools and practices to help you regulate your emotions, honour your boundaries, and carry a feeling of liberation into your daily life. ### Why Attend? 🌺 **Emotional Liberation** : Shed what no longer supports your growth and step into a renewed sense of freedom and authenticity. 🌺 **Befriend Anger & Grief:** Move through anger and grief as gateways to self-discovery, inner strength, and personal growth. 🌺 **Re-ignite Your Power** : Challenge outdated narratives about anger and learn to stand unapologetically in your multi-coloured and light-filled wildness. 🌺 **Sisterhood and Connection** : Be part of a supportive, empowering community of womxn who are walking this path alongside you. Allow yourself to witness, be witnessed and uplift one another.  _Photos from the last Love Your Rage retreat with permission_ _Please note that for this specific retreat, there will be NO PHOTOGRAPHY taking place during the event in order to respect the comfort and privacy of everyone involved. _ #### ### Feedback on our events: > _ **“To all women, this is a wonderful experience which will enhance your being and lighten your soul” - Alexandria** _ > > _ **“This experience was everything I didn't know I needed and more.

This is why we recently made a movement-based short film about anger & women (click [here](https://filmfreeway.com/Seiein-LoveYourRage?fbclid=PAY2xjawIAnHJleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABpvBBnZEmxnVkhMSZNZzGT2ZE7c52HBynztzPteGHnIZry6rVY5aPRV2SzA_aem_XBnhb8Ozl0r0mHfBMdE4hg#ff_javascript) to learn more or [here](https://www.dancefilmmaking.com/film/seiein---love-your-rage?fbclid=PAY2xjawIAnRxleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABphFgT-8kX-1QFWYHluhGkBrSRPUvZChxz6n8p0T_5p4K4DSoLVOKMFAedQ_aem_NBSCDJ8OrmazgzNYwGqYZg) to watch the full 17-minute long film) which won an award at Cannes Film Festival last year. Through a compelling docu-fictional narrative, **SEIEIN: Love Your Rage ** delves into the societal pressures that often lead women-identifying individuals to suppress their anger, as well as into the transformative power that arises from embracing the complex and diverse colours of our emotions. The film unfolds in two realms: The collective unconscious where anger’s different facets and stages are expressed through raw embodied movement and dance; and a speculative present re-imagining what ‘tending’ for anger could look like as a conscious cultural practice. Besides the transformative potential of embracing anger, the larger project aims to touch upon **the complexities ** of the theme. For instance, the tension between the use of compassion to let go of anger, and the necessity to channel the same energy to fight for justice. We aim for the work to act as **a catalyst for inspiring dialogue, reflection and action ** around our personal and collective relationships with anger, in its most nuanced and mindful understanding. The Love Your Rage team has organically grown from this seed and aims to empower women to reconnect with their sacred fire on the journey towards emotional liberation.  | |||
| Love in Practice - A day retreat for couples | Sat, Oct 17, 9:00 AM UTC | Sensate Spa and Studios, The Garden, Northumbria Drive, Henleaze, Bristol, UK | 3mxkaoo5aff22 | Curator | Step away from the noise of everyday life and enter a space devoted to connection, reverence and love. This immersive, one day workshop invites couples to slow down, listen deeply, and rediscover the beauty of truly seeing and being seen by each other. Through guided practices, conscious communication, touch, movement and shared ritual, you’ll be given the opportunity to honour each other’s needs, desires, boundaries and longings with presence and care. Together you will: - Cultivate deeper emotional and physical connection - Learn practices for expressing desires with clarity and compassion. - Explore ways to appreciate and “worship” one another in everyday life. - Strengthen trust, intimacy and mutual understanding - Create space for authenticity, playfulness, tenderness and devotion. This workshop is designed for couples who don’t take each other for granted but who are willing to make space to explore intimacy and experience each other with renewed appreciation and openness. No previous experience is needed - only a willingness to arrive with curiosity, honesty and heart. **WHY GROUP EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING IS EFFECTIVE** Couples learn best when they can experience new ways of relating together. Talking about connection is very different from feeling, practicing and reflecting on it in a safe, guided space. Experiential exploration allows partners to move beyond old scripts and turn concepts like safety, trust, boundaries and desire into lived, embodied experiences and through this, we believe, real transformation is more likely to happen. We believe also that there can be valuable learning from hearing and witnessing other couples in their experience. **WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT** - No explicit sexual touch or nudity. All practices are clothed and guided. - A series of exercises (some involving non-sexual touch over clothes) only performed as a couple - Some group discussion - Food will not be provided. At lunchtime, people are welcome to bring food that can be shared as a group. - The venue has a small spa which is available for booking (as a two hour slot) after the workshop has ended. **MORE ABOUT ME AND MY WORK** I work with couples as a psychotherapist in private practice. You can find out more about my training, experience and the way I work on my website: [www.khpsychotherapybristol.co.uk](http://www.khpsychotherapybristol.co.uk/) | |||
| The Metamodern Academy: An Updated Masterclass in Metamodernism | Sun, Nov 29, 6:00 PM UTC | – | 3mxkaopu4dc22 | Curator | Chaos is a ladder. Do you have the courage to climb it? If you want to make sense of our turbulent times, and if you seek to monetize the madness, this course might be for you. If you’re smart enough. This masterclass is the ultimate metamodern experience, possibly in the entire universe. It’s the culmination of more than a decade and a half worth of groundbreaking theory and action in which your honorable (but slightly indecent) host and teacher [Emil Ejner Friis](https://substack.com/@metamoderna) will deliver an overwhelming cascade of fact and fiction—in the most dazzling manner imaginable. No AI-slop, all too human, guaranteed. Metamodernism is the overarching sense-making map that bridges the rational optimism of modernism with the critical perspectives of postmodernism and the nourishing enchantment of the premodern. In a world of empirical pessimism, a solid dose of theoretical optimism, delivered with an astounding sense of sincere irony, might just be what you need to make it to the next stage. Or at least make you a more captivating human being at any dinner conversation. This course features both completely new material and tried-and-tested fan favourites; from the Hanzi Freinacht books as well as unpublished writings. Some of the content is updated and refined versions of what has previously been developed in collaboration with Daniel Görtz (for the previous [Advanced Masterclass](https://dandelion.events/e/the-metamodern-academy)), and Robert Kelley Ayala ([The Simple 30-Step Leadership Program](https://dandelion.events/e/f8ip7)). All of this has received widespread acclaim over the years and we look forward to presenting all the new theories and ideas that have been developed in the meantime. Since the course contains material that former students might already be familiar with, those who’ve participated in our previous courses are eligible for a **whopping 50% discount**. If you send an email to [emil@metamoderna.org](mailto:emil@metamoderna.org) we’ll send you a discount code. You’re also eligible for a **50% discount** if you get a friend to join with you. But only if they behave. ### **HOW IT WORKS** The course runs for two hours every Sunday, beginning **November 29th at 6pm GMT (1pm Eastern, 10am Pacific, 19:00 Central European, 23:30 India)**, and ending February 21st with an uninhibited amount of confetti and fireworks. If you miss the live sessions, you can always watch the recordings. And to those who’re interested, there will be hang-out sessions at the end of each class. It is recommended that you are somewhat familiar with metamodernism beforehand (for instance, having read Hanzi Freinacht’s books or participated in the [Introduction Course](https://dandelion.events/e/v9avz) which will take place the previous four Sundays of November 2026) and that you commit significant time, concentration, and effort in order to benefit from the course. The course includes new and hitherto unpublished content—and includes thorough sneak-peeks on coming Hanzi books. The course material (articles, etc.) for each session is sent out weekly. Additionally, the masterclass offers great opportunities for networking and co-creating projects with the other participants. ### **PROGRAM:** We will start where the Introduction Course ended. #### **Week 1: The state of contemporary metamodernism and where we’re going (or not going)** - Why integral and political metamodernism failed so spectacularly - What’s the deal with all those meta-nazis and neo-regressives? - What are the political pressure points for real change in today’s world? #### **Week 2: An Introduction to The 6 Hidden Patterns** - Everything you need to know about the “metamemes” and their intricate relation to psychological, societal, and organizational development - Why these metameme patterns have stayed “hidden” for so long - Why art always comes first (and why ethics, sadly, always comes last) #### **Week 3: An Introduction to The 30 Steps of Transformative Leadership** - Why stage theories are unusable: They’re too true to be good! - How psychological, societal, and organizational development all follow the same patterns of growth and stagnation - How you can use the hidden patterns to transform your organization and unlock new paths of development and growth #### **Week 4: The Animist Metameme and the Wonder Frequency** - How raindance conquered the world - How animism gave humanity a competitive edge that wiped out the Neanderthals and the Woolly Mammoth (and how you can get some of dat edge, too) - How to reintegrate the Indigenous in a healthy, non-colonial way #### **Week 5: The Faustian Metameme and the Power Frequency** - The importance of listening to Heavy Metal - The subtle joy of praising Satan in daily life - How to avoid Balder’s trap #### **Week 6: The Postfaustian Metameme and the Oneness Frequency** - How the Roman Empire collapsed while the Roman Church survived (and what that can teach us about our current civilization) - Why the Axial Age thesis is the missing piece to the puzzle that makes Spiral Dynamics obsolete (and thereby makes you less of a freak in academia) - Why integralists keep falling back into this frequency (and why that makes them impotent and largely irrelevant in today’s world) #### **Week 7: The Modern Metameme and the Reason Frequency** - How memes, all the world’s best memes, enabled the rise of the west (and why being a white hardworking protestant had nothing to do with it) - Why it’s inevitable that modern society collapses (any why it’s probably for the better) - Are squares actually happy? #### **Week 8: The Postmodern Metameme and the Critique Frequency** - DON’T SKIP THIS STAGE! (trust me, it’s worse than skipping leg day) - Why you need more good pomo, and why that makes you more metamodern - Why postmodernism is the last actual stage of development #### **Week 9: The Metamodern Metameme and the Integration Frequency** - From the Enlightenment to The Enshittenment - Bad news: The Listening Society has been cancelled - Good news: The Meaning Crisis has also been cancelled #### **Week 10: Outcompeting Capitalism and the New Class Analysis** - The impending triumph of cultural capital (and why artists are so crucial for a metamodern transition) - Why you’ll need to watch more films and go to more art museums and concerts to beat capitalism - Test: Will you be a winner or loser in the post-capitalist economy of the future? #### **Week 11: The End of History and the Last Stage** - Why metamodernism isn’t really a stage, but the cultural equivalent of the singularity - However, first we need to go through a Postmodern Dark Age - And why all of this is going to be much more fun than it sounds #### **Week 12: Where the Attractors are Pulling Us** - A brief introduction to Attractors and how they can help you predict the future - How to stay sane in a world on the brink of madness - Kill your guru, find your meta-team, and all the tea in London will be yours ### **PRICING:** - Standard: €500 - Student or unemployed: €250 - Global South: €125 - Marriage Proposals: FREE - Mecenat: €600 (+€100 donation) ### **YOUR FACILITATOR:**  **Emil Ejner Friis** (b. 1981) is a historian and futurist, a theory artist and a teacher of metamodernism. He is also a co-founder of [Metamoderna](https://metamoderna.org/)and one of the writers behind Hanzi Freinacht. He has spent the past fifteen years trying to figure out how to create a listening society, a kinder and more evolved society that deeply cares for the happiness and emotional needs of every citizen. He has tried and failed at creating a metamodern political party, he has tried and failed at leading an army of children to revolt against the untold indignities of everyday life in late-stage capitalism, and he has just plainly failed at ever getting a normal bourgeois life by being drawn to all kinds of adventures to try and save the world from itself. He just moved to a remote tropical island where he spends his days swimming with dolphins and hanging out with bohemian artists, drinking wine and fiercely arguing about poetry, gazing at the sunset while weeping in the face of tragedy and bliss. When he’s not writing and theorizing, he’s conspiring with other metamodernly inclined hackers, hipsters, and hippies to outcompete modern society. He lives at the crossroads of fact and fiction, and to pay the rent he sells words, all the best words. Emil is a skilled and experienced speaker with a reputation of being entertaining and good at making complex ideas easier to digest. | |||
| The Metamodern Academy: An Introduction to Metamodernism | Sun, Nov 1, 6:00 PM UTC | – | 3mxkaopvuw322 | Curator | Metamodernism? The philosophy and culture emerging at the dawn of the singularity in which hackers, hippies, and hipsters meet and co-create. Stakes rise, potentials abound, but so do risks and pitfalls of this new cultural and economic landscape. Metamodernism marries critical thinking and ethical commitment to inner work and adult development, offering a framework for seeing what’s going on: for surviving, contributing, and maybe even thriving in worlds being born. Wonder what the hype is all about, but not in the mood for slogging through dense bricks full of highbrow parlance? Then this course is for you. In a compact and to-the-point fashion, [Emil Ejner Friis](https://substack.com/@metamoderna) (aka. Hanzi Freinacht) presents the basic concepts you need to know to take part in this wide and complex movement. This course is for anyone interested in getting a comprehensive introduction to metamodernism. You will finish the course understanding the relevance of stage theory, know how to distinguish metamodernism from postmodernism and integral theory, and how to apply the metamodern way of thinking to your life. The metamodern sensibility is one of sincere irony, of very serious playfulness—necessary to stay sane at the crossroads of fact and fiction. In that spirit, you are invited. ### **HOW IT WORKS** The course runs for two hours every Sunday, beginning **November 1st at 6pm GMT (10am Pacific, 1pm Eastern, 19:00 Central European, 23:30 India)**, and ending November 22nd.

The masterclass offers great opportunities for networking and co-creating projects with the other participants. (If you're interested in continuing your metamodern studies, or if you're already familiar with the basics and want to learn some of the more advanced stuff, the **Updated Master Class in Metamodernism** begins once the introduction course ends November 29th. You can check out the masterclass [here](https://dandelion.events/e/o4hpy).) ### **PROGRAM:** #### **Week 1: What Metamodernism Is, and What It’s Not** - A brief overview of the field of metamodernism and the use of the term. - The Six Different “Metamodernisms”, and why it’s important to know the difference - The Difference Between Postmodernism and Metamodernism (and why most people can’t tell them apart) - The Difference Between Metamodernism and Integral Theory (and why you should care) #### **Week 2: Stage Theories** - Development, why it’s real (and how it’s real) and why it’s important - A very brief introduction to: Jean Piaget, Spiral Dynamics, Ken Wilber, Robert Kegan, Michael Common’s Model of Hierarchical complexity - How stage theories drive people crazy and actually make them evil - A better use of stage theories, and how not to be a jerk around them - Why everyone’s a closet stage theorist (often without knowing it) #### **Week 3: Hanzi Freinacht’s The Listening Society & Nordic Ideology** - Too long didn’t read? No problem, we got you covered. - Hipsters, Hackers, Hippies, and the Metamodern Aristocracy - The four dimensions of psychological developments and how it adds up to the effective value meme - The six forms of metamodern politics - How order, freedom, and equality evolve #### **Week 4: Is the World Becoming Metamodern?** - How a metamodern understanding can help you predict the future - What art can tell us about the future - Who are the people that will shape the future? - Personality test: Are you metamodern? - Q&A and final discussion ### **PRICING:** - Standard: €150 - Student or unemployed: €75 - Global South: €40 - Mecenat: €200 (+€50 donation) ### **YOUR FACILITATOR:**  **Emil Ejner Friis** (b. 1981) is a historian and futurist, a theory artist and a teacher of metamodernism.

| Mid Week Meditation (30 mins live, join from anywhere) | Wed, Oct 7, 12:00 PM UTC | – | 3mxkaorbtc622 | Curator | Take a thirty min pause to come and meditate in this live space together. Join from anywhere in the world. As we reach mid-week we can all benefit from this moment to recharge, recenter and reinvigorate. All are welcome. Especially… - Those who meditate alone each morning (and want the power of the group field) - Those who say they meditate but never get around to it - Those who wish they meditated - The deep feelers and the scatty ones - The optimisers and the deep resters Hosted by Amisha. Every Wednesday at _1pm London, 5am Los Angeles, 8am New York, 6.30pm Mumbai, 10pm Tokyo, 12am+1 Sydney _ _30 min meditation with optional space to say hi and hang out after_ _£10 Drop in _ _£30 for a full month _ “The meditations with Amisha are always so beautiful. They leave me feeling calmer, lighter and uplifted. I love having this anchor practice to look forward to every week.” Louise “There is something very special about meditating with Amisha. I feel that I am receiving a transmission from her lineage. Pure, simple and feminine. No gurus required!” Lisa “I absolutely enjoy the meditations with Amisha. I am always left with immense calmness and joy. There is something magical in gathering together and meditate as a group. I really like that the sessions are always a bit different, tapping into different aspects as we weave together through this rhythm. This makes the live calls really unique." Arina **Why Now? ** In the culture of the capitalist spiritual, the simple and most effective can get lost. The focus can be on big peak experiences. Often we know what supports the rhythm and helps but struggle to make time for it – or get easily distracted. As our phones continue to scramble our brains and attention spans, there is something extremely helpful about being pulled into a steady rhythm of simple practices that increase your capacity – supporting with anxiety, stress, overwhelm, grief, numbness, scatteredness – and igniting more creativity, energy, vision, intuition, presence. When we practice together we amplify the power of what we are doing, and you feel the strength of the field and how it brings you into coherence. At this time, it’s so vital that we calibrate our own frequency so that we can be present, responsible and joyful in these times. Rather than retreating we can find our way to contribute and create beauty in a world that is never not broken. It’s the slow, subtle practices that really hold us steady and allow space for growth and integration. **What will we do in the sessions?** Amisha offers a gentle and powerful meditation, there is always a theme to hold the practice, space to drop into stillness together and some of her signature energetic weaving. The practices include aspects of Yoga, Meditation, Pranayama, Mantra, Subtle Body Activations from ancient wisdom traditions in India. This is Amisha’s ancestral lineage as well as chosen path of practice. It’s all offered with that deep respect love and relationship. Many of these practices are also what you see repackaged as breathwork, biohacking, coaching techniques. These practices are offered with simplicity, and the power that it holds. Open to anyone, given with clear instructions. **Who is this hosted by?** Amisha Tala Oak is the author of Intuition and The Future Is Beautiful. She is the host of the globally acclaimed All That We Are podcast and has been offering these practices since 2013. Her ancestral lineages are of Hinduism and Jainism. She has studied deeply Kashmir Shivaism (classical tantra) and has done many yoga and meditation teacher trainings. She has held a one to one practice working with energy and sub conscious patterns since 2016. She has hosted retreats and workshops across the world including guiding pilgrimages in India and presenting at Bali Spirit Festival. She has spoken at TEDx, Unbox and Change Festival to name a few.

| Annual Gathering 2026 | Thu, Nov 26, 4:00 PM UTC | Purley Chase Centre, Purley Chase Lane, Mancetter, Atherstone, UK | 3mxkaot5ksx22 | Curator | ## 🌿 NVC Annual Gathering UK & Ireland 2026 **26–29 November | Purley Chase Centre** ## ### Come together This gathering exists because NVC cannot be lived in isolation. It takes relationship — and spaces where we are willing to be real, to practice, and to be changed by each other. As the team organising this year — Kirstin, Sarah-Jane, Bridget and Angela — we are holding the space and inviting the wider community to shape it with us. If Nonviolent Communication is something you are living with others or passing on, this is a place to meet others who are carrying similar questions, responsibilities, and tensions. * * * ### What this is A long weekend to: - reconnect with yourself and others - explore what’s alive in you now - practice NVC beyond ideas — in real relationship - bring attention to what is happening in NVC in the UK & Ireland and in the wider world - contribute what you care about We will co-create the programme using Open Space Technology. The content comes from us — from what feels most alive, relevant, and needed. Alongside learning and connection, we are interested in something deeper: Staying present when things are not smooth. Allowing rupture, difference, and not-knowing to be part of the space. Making room for grief — personal and collective — without rushing to resolve or fix. We trust that something is built through this: a quality of connection, reflection, and shared learning that continues beyond the gathering itself. * * * ### Who it's for This event is for people who are **sharing NVC in the world**. That could mean you are: - offering workshops grounded in NVC - bringing NVC into organisations or workplaces - holding a regular practice group - contributing to community spaces informed by NVC - living and applying NVC actively in your relationships You might be a certified trainer, long-time trainer, a certification candidate, or someone stepping more fully into sharing. We don’t set a fixed threshold — but we do expect that participants have a solid grounding in NVC and some lived experience of practicing it with others. You don’t need to arrive in any particular way. Just come as you are. * * * ### The space 📍 **Purley Chase Centre** [**https://www.purleychasecentre.org.uk/**](https://www.purleychasecentre.org.uk/) A simple, held environment with: - shared and private accommodation - indoor and outdoor spaces - multiple breakout rooms - nourishing meals prepared on site * * * ### Cost Sliding scale: **£210 – £550** We ask you to contribute at a level that supports both your reality and the sustainability of the gathering. Prices vary depending on accommodation. - Limited single rooms - Day tickets available for Saturday If cost is a barrier for you, please reach out to [annualgathering@nvcmatters.org.uk](mailto:annualgathering@nvcmatters.org.uk) to talk about that. * * * ### Why come Because this is one of the places where our community can meet itself. Not only to connect — but to see more clearly what we are doing, what we are carrying, and what might be emerging. There is something we build when we come together like this — not quickly, not always comfortably, and not always visibly. But it shapes how we practice, how we teach, and how we show up in the world. * * * ### Join us If something in you responds, we'd value you being part of this. ➡️ Book your place With care, Kirstin, Sarah-Jane, Bridget & Angela * * * ### Cancellations policy If you need to cancel, please let the annual gathering team know as soon as possible. You may wish to consider taking out an insurance policy to cover the risk of illness. In the event of you cancelling, you may like to offer your place to someone else - there are many people in our network who do not have the funds to attend such an event. Agreements: You (the participant) understand that, to support the viability of the event running and to honour the extra admin work of the team, we (the annual gathering team) will deduct £25 per person from any refunds that are made due to cancellation up until 6 weeks before the event start date. If you cancel between six and three weeks before the event start date, we will deduct £75 admin fee unless we fill your place. If your place is filled we will only deduct the £25 admin charge. If you cancel three weeks or less before the event, your fees won't be refunded unless we fill your place. In that instance we will only deduct the £25 admin charge. Note: If you have (for example) major health issues that you think might prevent you being able to come and you would like to book early to ensure a place, please discuss your situation with us before booking so that we can consider making allowances for you to the above agreements. ## | |||
| Psychedelic Integration Circle Online: Preparation & Integration | Tue, Dec 1, 6:30 PM UTC | – | 3mxkaotdyio22 | Curator | ## **A Monthly Online Space to Process, Reflect & Find Your Ground After Psychedelic & Expanded State Experiences** Have you recently had a psychedelic or altered-state experience that's left you with more questions than answers? Are you looking for a grounded, supportive space to process, reflect, and find your footing alongside others walking a similar path? Sometimes an experience opens something in us that everyday life doesn't quite have the language for. [Integration Circle Online](https://www.integrationcircle.online/) exists for exactly that moment: the after. A monthly drop-in space for people navigating psychedelic and expanded state experiences, the circle is run in partnership with **The Psychedelic Society** and is open to all. Whether you are newly curious or more experienced, whether your journey brought profound insight or left you unsettled and searching, you are welcome here. All psychedelic medicines and expanded states are held within the circle, including experiences arising through breathwork and meditation. There is no closed group, no ongoing commitment, and no expectation of where you should be in your process. Come once, or return whenever your journey calls for it. ### **What Happens in the Circle** Each session runs for two hours via online video call. The space is collaborative and participant-led. You might share something that's been sitting with you, ask a question, or simply be present and listen. All of it is valid. Experienced facilitators hold the relational and emotional safety of the group throughout, establishing clear ground rules around confidentiality, respect, and mutual care at the start of every session. Cameras remain on to support a genuine sense of presence and connection. ### **Our Intention** To offer a safe, confidential, trauma-informed space where insight, healing, and repair can happen in relationship, not in isolation, and at a pace that honours each person's own nervous system. The circle is not therapy. It offers something equally valuable: skilled, boundaried facilitation, the wisdom of shared experience, and the quiet power of being truly witnessed. ### **Is This the Right Space for You?** Group settings aren't the right fit for everyone at every stage of integration, and we take that seriously. Before booking, we invite you to read through our readiness questions. They're there to help you feel confident that this space is right for you, right now. 👉 [integrationcircle.online/monthly-integration-circle](https://www.integrationcircle.online/monthly-integration-circle) If anything gives you pause, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're glad to talk things through and explore what might serve you best. 📧 [support@integrationcircle.online](mailto:support@integrationcircle.online) If you have any access needs or anything else that would help you attend safely, please let us know. We are committed to making this space genuinely accessible and welcoming for everyone. ### **Details** 📅 First Tuesday of each month 🕡 18:30–20:30 GMT 💻 Online via video call 🎟 Single sessions available, with discounts for blocks of 3 or 6 _Out of care for the group, late entry is not possible after 18:40. Please arrive on time._ ### **ABOUT INTEGRATION CIRCLE ONLINE**  We hope TOPIC can be an ongoing resource for your psychedelic preparation and integration. We are a trauma-informed psychedelic circle, offering peer support and a sharing circle with the aim of supporting the integration of expanded states into our lives in a way that is helpful and meaningful to us. We invite insight, healing and repair to happen in relationship and at a pace determined by each person’s nervous system capacity. As our community builds, we hope to offer you a space where you can reflect on your own journey and that of your peers from a place of comfort and security. ‘Psychedelic’ means ‘mind-manifesting’. The group will focus on experiences induced by use of psychedelics, but meditation, breath-work, and other, sometimes spontaneous, processes can also induce these states. The group does not offer therapy. It is simply a safe, confidential space for you to share your experiences or hear from others if you are considering whether use of psychedelics is right for you. We recognise the positive potential of the use of psychedelics, but as a group will work within the law, so we ask that you don’t turn up under the influence of substances and that you don’t take psychedelics in the session. We will also ask you not to share information about illegal psychedelic services. ## YOUR FACILITATORS ### **Kathryn Osborne**  Kathryn (Kathy) Osborne is an experienced Relational Psychotherapist, Clinical Supervisor and Yoga Therapist for Mental Health (Trauma Informed.).

| Grief Honouring Rituals | Sun, Sep 13, 8:30 AM UTC | Sladebank Woods, Summer Crescent, Stroud, UK | 3mxkaotpdy722 | Curator | **Honouring Grief - A Three Month Group in Stroud ** We will gather once a month for a half day in September, October and November, immersed in nature in Sladebank Woods, creating a space to honour the different kinds of grief we each carry. **Community in Grief** This group offers a space where grief is welcomed. When we come together in community, we remember that we are connected, and the village can hold more than any of us singularly can alone. Over the course of three months, we will move gently through guided rituals to honour grief and love including offerings to earth, water and fire, storytelling, writing and witnessing. Everything is guided as an invitation, with space for you to bring yourself exactly as you are and find out how each ritual resonates and supports your journey with your grief. We value every participant for who you are and the story you bring. Grief can arise from many places: death, endings, ancestral pain, unmet love, ecological loss, and the parts of ourselves we've forgotten. All forms of grief are welcome here, whether recent, long-held or difficult to name. We’ll gather as a small held group once a month for three months on Sunday mornings (9:30am–1pm) in Sladebank Woods. ● Sunday 13th September ● Sunday 11th October ● Sunday 15th November As this is a shared three-month journey, we ask that you attend all three dates. Staying with the same group allows for trust, continuity and a deeper sense of belonging that support this work. Before the group begins, you’ll receive a short welcome questionnaire and have the option of a one-to-one call. **This space may be for you if you:** ● have carried grief quietly ● feel there hasn’t been space or permission to grieve ● want somewhere you don’t have to explain or justify how you feel ● long to be witnessed, rather than advised or fixed ● are holding something that feels too much to carry alone ● feel a sense of emptiness or loss you can’t quite name ● want to remember how grief and love live side by side **What to expect** Grief Honouring Rituals is an invitation to come together with others exactly as you are, without any mask, whatever you are holding. Each gathering lasts around 3.5 hours and follows a gentle arc structure: **Arrival** _Gathering together in the Sladebank Woods roundhouse and outside (further details to be shared prior to each ritual)_ **Welcome and grounding** _Introductions and simple practices to help us settle and arrive, such as gentle movement, breath and guided reflection_ **Meeting what’s here** _Guided ways to connect with your grief in your own way and timing_ **Shared ritual** _Intentional communal ritual practices to express grief and be witnessed together. Each monthly gathering will be shaped by the season, the land and the group itself_ **Integration** _Time to reflect, share if you wish, or simply notice what’s shifted_ **Closing** _Preparing to return to daily life with care and support_ By doing this together, we no longer have to carry grief through endurance and isolation. Our hearts begin to soften and open. We learn that we can actually hold this - the love, the loss, the endings and beginnings. This is not therapy. It’s not performance. It’s not a place to fix or be fixed. This is a space to come as you are and to be met there. A space to listen and be with grief in community. To remember that grief is an expression of love, and that no part of our humanity was ever meant to be walked alone. The rituals are informed by Veronica and Nika’s own lived experiences walking with grief, alongside their training in Grief Rituals Leadership with Francis Weller. If something in you recognises the need for a space like this, you are warmly welcome. Kindly note, tickets are non-refundable. _About the facilitators_ **Nika Shoot** (Veronika Shoot) is a multifaceted artist, pianist and somatic facilitator whose work integrates music, energy work and embodied practices into innovative approaches to healing and human expression. This body of work grew out of her early training and performing life as a concert pianist. Nika’s passion lies in dissolving the boundaries between different modalities, drawing from her life, professional training and lived experience, including energy work, somatic exploration, yoga, breathwork, sound healing and shamanic integration. She has also spent time in India studying in traditional ashram settings and living with communities in the Peruvian Amazon, experiences that have quietly informed the depth and sensitivity of her work. Working at the meeting point of music, movement, breath and energy, she supports people back into connection with their bodies, their emotional landscape and their innate aliveness, meeting each person where they are. She has developed an intuitive somatic flow approach to yoga, grounded in nervous system care and embodied awareness. Her sessions are supported by the Earth’s natural grounding frequencies, creating a subtle yet powerful environment for restoration, cellular renewal and energetic balance. In addition to her classical music background, Nika holds space for music as a devotional and healing practice, whether through Kirtan, medicine music, classical performance or improvisation. She also facilitates grief-honouring spaces and rituals, supporting individuals and groups to meet grief with presence, care and community. Her work in these areas serves to bring people together, offering a shared experience of connection and presence. veronikashoot@thebalancedartist.org **Veronica** (Veronica Frances) is a Grief Practitioner and Breathwork Facilitator. Veronica supports people in their journey with grief, whether recent or long-held. In her private practice, she accompanies people in the grieving process with talk-based support - work she came to through her personal experience following the loss of her sister, her professional training, and what she saw was missing and needed in mainstream support. She also facilitates breathwork ceremonies, having trained with Steph Magenta of Seven Directions. Veronica sees this work not just as individual healing but about brings us to right relationship with ourselves, those around us and the wider web of life. As we grow our capacity to grieve, we learn how to keep our hearts open to love, and this is what the world needs. Now based in Stroud, Veronica carries a deep connection to Peru and Mexico, where she studied with the Shipibo tradition and previously lived. www.veronicafrances.co.uk | |||
| Yoga Foundations — 6-Week Learning Cycle for Beginners & Returners | Wed, Sep 16, 5:15 PM UTC | St Anne's House – Community And Creative Hub, Saint Anne's Road, Brislington, Bristol, UK | 3mxkaovexg622 | Curator | # 🧘 Yoga Foundations — 6-Week Cycle _(formerly Yoga for Beginners at Yogasara)_ 📍 **St Anne’s House, Brislington (BS4)** 🗓 **Wednesdays, 6.15–7.15pm** 🌿 **16 September–21 October 2026** **A place to begin yoga, and somewhere to keep coming back to.** After ten years of teaching Yoga for Beginners at Yogasara, I’m continuing the course at St Anne’s House with a new structure. Yoga Foundations now runs throughout the year in **six-week cycles, with a break between each one**. You can start as a complete beginner, stay for the next cycle, take a break or come back later. Each cycle has a different **asana (posture) focus**, while we continue to explore breath, guided meditation and some of the wider teachings and practices of yoga. This SEPTEMBER- October cycle focuses on **standing postures, Warriors, balances and more**. The next cycle (Nov- Dec ) explores the postures and transitions of **Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation)**. ### More than the postures Yoga is a vast tradition and there is far more to it than asana. I offer an accessible introduction to some of the practices, principles and traditional maps that I’ve found useful, and explore how yoga can inform everyday life. I also bring a **systemic lens** to my teaching. Like nature, body, breath, mind, relationships and environment are interconnected. Each part influences the whole. And if you simply want to move, build strength and mobility and learn yoga postures, **you are equally welcome**. ### Why 6-week cycles? We learn and practise together, then pause. The break gives time for the practice to settle, to integrate what you’ve learned and notice what stays with you before returning. **Learn. Practise. Integrate. Return.** ### About Katie I’m **Katie Despres** , a Senior Yoga Teacher with over 1,500 hours of training and a Family & Systemic Constellations Facilitator. I’ve taught beginners for ten years. My teaching is supportive, practical and down-to-earth, with space to ask questions and understand what you’re doing rather than simply trying to keep up. ### Why St Anne’s House? • Free on-site parking, including accessible spaces • Ground-floor studio with step-free access • **Bristol Community Sauna & cold plunge on site** • Café and community spaces ### Dates **16 September–21 October** Standing postures, Warriors & Balance **Next cycle: 4 November–16 December** Surya Namaskar- Sun Salutation _No class 9 December_ 📍 St Anne’s House, BS4 🗓 Wednesdays, 6.15–7.15pm 👉 **Book your place — spaces limited** ### | |||
| Chepstow -Family & Systemic Constellations Circle | Sat, Nov 28, 2:00 PM UTC | Stone Rock Lodge, Upper Church Street, Chepstow, UK | 3mxkaovhnpi22 | Curator | ## Family & Systemic Constellations – Chepstow Bi-monthly Saturday Morning Circle A bi-monthly Saturday morning constellation circle offering a grounded, supportive space to explore family patterns, relationships, and inherited dynamics through embodied, systemic work. These circles are suitable both for people new to constellation work and those who wish to attend regularly. No previous experience is needed. ### Dates Saturday 10 October 2026- 10:00am–1:00pm Saturday 28 November 2026 - 2.00-5.00pm These circles run bi-monthly, with a summer pause. ### Location Stone Rock Lodge, Chepstow ## What are Family / Systemic Constellations? Family or Systemic Constellations is an experiential therapeutic approach developed by **Bert Hellinger** , drawing on family therapy, systemic thinking, and group dynamics. The work explores how unresolved experiences and patterns within our family systems can continue to influence our relationships, work, health, and sense of belonging, often without our conscious awareness. These influences may show up as repeating dynamics, emotional burdens, or a sense of being stuck. Rather than talking _about_ problems, constellation work allows us to see and feel the wider system we are part of. In a group setting, participants may be invited to act as representatives for people, roles, or elements within a family or life situation. Through this embodied process, hidden dynamics can become visible, allowing new understanding, movement, and relief to emerge. This is not roleplay, and no belief or prior knowledge is required. ## How the Circle Works Each circle includes: - Arrival, settling, and a short grounding or meditation - Simple group exercises to practise representing and attuning to the field - **Two constellations** - Time for reflection and integration - Closing circle At each session, **anyone attending is welcome to put their name forward** if they would like to work with a personal or professional issue. Constellations are **chosen on the day** , guided by what feels most appropriate for the group and the wider field. Not everyone who puts their name forward will necessarily have their own constellation. All roles within the process are equally valued. ## Ways to Take Part **Issue holder** You may bring a theme or situation you would like to explore. Two constellations will take place each morning. **Representative** You may be invited to stand in for people, roles, or elements within another person’s constellation. Many people find this role deeply insightful, and sometimes more impactful than having their own constellation. **Witness** You can also attend simply holding presence within the group. Even from this role, people often recognise parallels and gain clarity for their own lives. You do not need to bring an issue to attend. ## Why Attend Regularly? Constellation work often unfolds over time. Attending regularly allows you to: - deepen your embodied understanding of systemic patterns - integrate insights gently between sessions - experience different roles within the field - build continuity and trust within the group Each circle responds to who is present and what is alive on the day. ## About Katie Katie Despres is a Family and Systemic Constellations Facilitator and Senior Yoga Teacher based in Bristol.

Family & Systemic Constellations were developed by **Bert Hellinger**. They offer a way of looking beneath the surface of our difficulties — revealing hidden family and ancestral patterns that quietly influence our present-day lives. Rather than analysing or telling stories, constellations open up a space of direct experience. Someone brings an issue or question, other people step in to represent members of their family system, and together we begin to see what has been hidden. Often, what emerges is a **f** resh perspective, more space inside, and the possibility of moving through life with greater ease and flow.

As a **Representative** , you may step into the place of a family member, ancestor, or an archetype such as Love, Fear, or Freedom.

| SELF STUDY: The dance between Innerwork and Outerwork | – | – | 3mxkaox4mdt22 | Curator |  Hello!! After we've learned a bit of NVC How does that actually translate into wider systemic change? 01 I’m really interested in getting some shared reality about what we mean by Inner work. And what we mean by outer work. NVC is a really good example of a practice that actually moves between inner work and outer work. Sometimes we need to focus more on outer work; act in solidarity, support others, speak up about things, collaborate, scale up. Sometimes we need to focus on inner work; transform enemy images, heal, take time in nature, breathe, bring self empathy. We will ask some clarifying questions to help us discern between the two. 02 We'll then look at theory of change. This is an organizational development term which organizations use to get clear, to get shared reality on how they are going to get from A to B, so that everyone's on the same page. The theory of change of NVC is actually quite complex. So we'll explore that. 03 Then we're going to put this into practice. How we can make that dance between inner work and outer work and we're going to do that by looking at two polarizing opinions and you can do this practice with any polarizing opinion. So you'll go away with a somatic practice you can do in your groups. So we're doing this to really explore how we can scale up? How can we more systematically move Beyond either/ or and how we can really test NVC to its limits and gain some vocabulary about how to talk about it. 04 Finally, Donella Meadow's 12 leverage points which help us discern where we can intervene in our groups, and systems, and Recap So if you are ready to dive in, let's go Here is a [short video about what you'll do.](https://youtu.be/FyUY-bM4sbs) **Curriculum** 01 What is inner work? What is outer work? 02 What is a Theory of Change? What is NVC's theory of change? 03 Somatic practice of the dance between Inner work and outer work 04 Donella Meadow's 12 leverage points. & Recap Extra material: What is Theory of Change? Donella Meadows - 12 Leverage points **Time Commitment** The total running time of videos is about 45 mins. You may want to stop and start and go much slower than that. The practices have been developed in groups and you can use them in groups, as well as practicing by yourself, or with a friend. **Motivation to get the Self Study Programme done** I have offered a 2-person ticket if it would support or motivate you to do this programme with someone, you can do that. **Financial contribution** Please choose whatever payment option works for you and if none of them do, please get in touch.

| SELF STUDY: Resilient Spaceholding with Ceri Buckmaster and Sophia Mindus | – | – | 3mxkaox7xu622 | Curator |  Hello!! **Do you need support for collaboration to hold projects together,** especially when it’s tough? Would you love to **have the courage to transparently acknowledge your facilitation mistakes** and be generous with yourself when you do? Do you need accompaniment so you can approach **tension and conflict as part of life and important feedback rather than a complete disaster?** Do you want to learn how to **not take things personally?** This is for you if you are already holding space in some form (facilitator, volunteer, event organiser). Even if you already know some NVC this might support you as we offer reflections on our experiences of holding space with trauma-informed, power aware approaches. **Curriculum** We offer 4 themed sharings and reflections on the topics of: 01.Motivations and Strengths in holding space 02.Challenges and shadows in holding space 03.Triggers/challenges with participants 04.Conflict in Collaboration **Who we are** Ceri Buckmaster is a Nonviolent Communication facilitator, organiser and mediator. Sophia Mindus is a Relationship and Sex educator **Time Commitment** The total running time of videos is about 4 hours. You may want to stop and start and go much slower than that. The self study could take you around 5-6 hours to complete, depending on how you pace yourself. We would recommend taking time between each unit to integrate, reflect and practice. **Motivation to get the Self Study Programme done** I have offered a 2-person ticket if it would support or motivate you to do this programme with someone, you can do that. **Financial contribution** Please choose whatever payment option works for you and if none of them do, please get in touch.

| NVC & Understanding Power ONLINE | Sat, Nov 14, 2:00 PM UTC | – | 3mxkap2gkuf22 | Curator | This workshop runs ONLINE over Saturday and Sunday 2-5pm UK time **A 6-hour experiential training for navigating difference, tension and power with greater awareness, choice and self-connection.** NVC offers powerful practices for staying connected to ourselves and others when conversations become difficult. But what happens when the people in a conversation do not have equal power? When hierarchy, identity, privilege, exclusion, institutional authority or access to resources shape what can be said, heard or decided? **Power affects communication — and communication can also reproduce or transform power.** Here are the aims of the day - To strengthen the foundations of your NVC practice - To increase understanding of power and how it impacts communication and choice - To remain grounded and self connected when navigating tension and difference. We will: - Create a strong container - Create shared reality around understanding power, using various tools and frameworks - [Steven Lukes - 3 dimensions of power](https://voidnetwork.gr/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Power-A-Radical-View-Steven-Lukes.pdf) - [Miki Kashtan's Scarcity, Separation, Powerlessness](https://accidentalgods.life/miki-kashtan/) (and their antidotes) framing - [Pathways to Liberation matrix](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KPIvCD_XIGThKEsqZ-qKQwY0Op5pSe_r7uqksetW5FQ/edit?gid=10#gid=10) - increase somatic self-empathy - Resource ourselves and explore options for challenging conversations - Practice giving and receiving feedback within different power dynamics - Body centred, Self-Empathy and Roleplays for exploring situations in which power plays out All this with a compassionate lens! The session will involve reflection, discussion, practice and role play. You can watch a short video about this session [here.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzAtmhixUtw) Here is a testimonial from a participant _I’ve done other workshops addressing equality, diversity, inclusion, racism and privilege, but what made this one stand out – and, I think, made it effective – was regularly returning to our somatic and emotional responses and seeing these as important sources of information. I have sometimes felt frozen and afraid of ‘getting it wrong’ when approaching privilege from a cerebral place and the focus on my body helped me to begin to understand a different way of doing this work.

| Bridge The Beyond | Fri, Oct 23, 1:00 PM UTC | Amsterdam, Netherlands | 3mxkap3ccyz22 | Curator | _A retreat that focuses on ‘the bridge’_ _between psychedelic insight and lived experience._ A trauma informed three-day immersion inviting you to _slow down, listen inward, and create space for what emerges_. The retreat is designed to bridge profound inner experiences with lasting integration. Facilitated by accredited psychotherapists and psychologists trained with MAPS, who bring expertise in IFS, somatic inquiry, with experience supporting both therapeutic and ceremonial work, the retreat is grounded in trauma-informed practice, relational safety, and careful integration. This thoughtfully curated retreat is tailored for individuals seeking personal insight, emotional exploration, and deeper connection. Rooted in safety and depth, while also allowing room for creativity, good food, music, connection, and quiet moments of privacy and reflection. _ **Why We Created This Retreat** _ Through years of working within both therapeutic and ceremonial settings, we have witnessed the profound potential of psychedelic work, but also the importance of approaching these experiences with care, preparation, ethical facilitation, and meaningful integration. We created Bridge the Beyond from a shared belief that healing and insight are not found solely within the experience itself, but in how those experiences are understood, embodied, and woven back into everyday life. Our intention is to offer a space where depth, curiosity, and exploration can unfold within a carefully held environment. This retreat may be supportive for those who are: - Navigating a life transition or period of uncertainty - Feeling stuck in recurring patterns, behaviours, or relationships - Seeking greater connection with themselves, others, or a sense of meaning and purpose - Looking to deepen self-awareness and explore their inner world within a carefully held environment - Processing grief, loss, or significant life changes Experiencing burnout, disconnection, or a feeling that something in life needs attention - Interested in approaching psychedelic work within a trauma-informed, relational, and ethically grounded setting - Curious about how insight can be integrated into everyday life through embodiment and meaningful change   The retreat takes place within a group of no more than eight participants, with each person having their own private room. The setting unfolds within a beautiful centuries-old farmhouse nestled in the North Holland Dune Reserve, close to the sea and easily reachable from Amsterdam. The space includes a Finnish sauna, outdoor shower, plunge pool, and quiet natural surroundings designed to support rest, reflection, and integration. .jpg)  I **ncludes:** **Pre-retreat** - Careful screening session - 1:1 preparation session (option of more if needed) - Group preparation calls **The immersion** - 3-day & 2-night residential retreat - Private Accommodation and meals **The ceremonies** - Legally sourced psilocybin truffles - 2 x Guided ceremonies with experienced facilitators **Post-retreat integration** - Group integration call - 1:1 session - Monthly integration circle & community  .jpeg) _Check out the websites _ [https://liminalpath.nl/bridge-the-beyond-retreat/](https://liminalpath.nl/bridge-the-beyond-retreat/) _ _ _ _[_https://rebeccaoterotherapy.com_](https://rebeccaoterotherapy.com)[_ _](https://rebeccaoterotherapy.com/retreatsoct) CURIOSITY Compassionate observation of what emerges through the experience, thoughts, emotions, memories, patterns, and moments of insight. EMBODIMENT Allowing insight to settle and take root through the body. Developing a deeper relationship with yourself, your nervous system, and the ways meaningful change unfolds over time. INTEGRATION Integration is the ongoing process of translating insight into daily life. Rather than a single moment, it continues to unfold through reflection, practice, relationships, and time. Music & Creativity Taking you through a creative journey is central to how we work. Music acts as a guide throughout the process, supporting movement, emotion, reflection, and release.There are moments of stillness, reflection, emotional depth, and gentle movement through different inner states. The musical arc is carefully curated and intentional, designed to hold and support you as you move through your own experience. Alongside this, we invite gentle forms of creative exploration through movement, artmaking, imagination and expression, offering ways to engage with what emerges beyond words. Food & Nourishment Food is an important part of the retreat experience. Meals are thoughtfully prepared to support grounding, nourishment, restoration, and connection throughout the weekend. Our chef brings extensive experience working in restaurants and within retreat environments, lovingly creating dishes that are both nourishing and full of character, balancing taste and comfort. Shared meals become part of the rhythm of the weekend: moments to land, reconnect, reflect, and return to the body.
