Sensing Samadhi Sound, Gong Bath with Helen
Arriving into this space of non doing, becoming aware of your body’s need to rest and restore, making yourself comfortable within your cosy gong den, taking a few breaths…starting to let go of your day, we gently drift into a 10 minute spoken word meditation accompanied by sound instruments, helping you to settle, held by the earth coming in to the stillness.
In this place we allow the mind to settle fully as we drift into the field of feeling tones. As the gongs gently sound you enter a sense of timelessness and bliss and in this space tension and stress melt away in the moments allowing you to just be as the vibrations come to you and through you at cellular level helping to create a calming sense of balance within.

Conscious Connected Breath with Danielle
In this workshop, Danielle will give a short introduction to the workings and benefits of Breathwork, followed by a demonstration of the technique and she will then guide everyone throughout.
Conscious Connected Breathwork allows us to shift our awareness from our minds to our bodies, enabling us to explore our inner selves. This technique helps us access altered states of consciousness, where our rational mind takes a backseat, and our subconscious mind becomes more prominent. During these altered states, we can connect with feelings, insights, memories, and experiences that are typically beyond our reach in normal waking consciousness.
When we suppress emotions, they accumulate as emotional energy stored in our bodies. This unexpressed energy can lead to mental, emotional, and physical pain. Conscious Connected Breathwork can release this stored emotional energy and survival stress, leading to a more balanced and harmonious state.
Many people experience trauma in their lives, which can perpetuate a state of over or under-activation (fight, flight, or freeze). This can result in disconnection from our bodies and highly reactive responses to triggers.
Through Conscious Connected Breathwork, we can release emotional blockages, process trauma, overcome negative thinking patterns and behaviors, and delve into our unresolved issues.

Embodied Sound & Movement with Sally
Embodied Sound and Movement is a blend of voice, collective singing and movement, led by Kate Markham, a Natural Voice practitioner, and Sally Eccleston, a yoga teacher and somatic therapist.
Natural Voice (NVN) is a network of people who work with song and voice, believing that singing is everyone's birthright, regardless of musical experience or ability. Natural Voice is about celebrating the voice you were born with, rather than trying to train it to an ideal of perfection. It's about building non-judgmental, accepting communities that sing together. For our ancestors, chants and songs would accompany every kind of activity. Individuals and communities expressed emotions through their songs – joy and celebration, grief and despair. Songs fulfilled a myriad of purposes both practical and profound. Coming together as a community to reclaim this vital form of expression is a powerful way to loosen and release emotional blockages in the body. It can be particularly helpful for issues relating to communication, creativity and connection to others.
Soul Sounds will be followed by embodied yin yoga with Sally. In Yin Yoga we create gentle (sometimes more dynamic) long held postures and practices with an attitude of Maitri, loving kindness. The poses stimulate energy flow in meridians, energy channels, and restore, rewire and replenish our nervous system. While “yang” yoga focuses on your muscles, yin yoga targets your deep connective tissues, like your fascia, ligaments, joints, and bones. It’s slower and more meditative, giving you space to turn inward and tune into both your mind and the physical sensations of your body. Because you’re holding poses for a longer period of time than you would in other traditional types of yoga, yin yoga helps you stretch and lengthen those rarely-used tissues while also teaching you how to breathe through discomfort and sit with your thoughts. The practice of yin yoga is based on ancient Chinese philosophies and Taoist principles which believe there are pathways of Qi (energy) that run through our bodies. By stretching and deepening into poses, we’re opening up any blockages and releasing that energy to flow freely. During these Yang infused times, Yin, and the rebalancing of YinYang dynamics, help us to stop, reset and respond as we start again. Sally’s embodied approach to yin yoga invites us to explore our multidimensional capacities for healing by listening and sensing with the whole body-mind. It increases awareness of our mind-body connection in each dimension and through different somatic approaches, intuitive movement, classical nondual Tantra, Chinese medicine and Yin yoga, opens up space by helping to release limitations.
You can expect vocal toning and voice warm ups, shared songs using simple call and response chants and songs from around the world, shared chants, and a session to move through any emotional and energetic blockages in the body with sound and movement.
