We’ll use simple somatic release techniques (including shaking, authentic movement, conscious connected breath, and healing self-touch), plus relaxation to ground and integrate.

This gathering is an evening of community, sacred sound vibration, mantra, kirtan chanting, and togetherness.

 

The word Mantra is derived from two Sanskrit roots; manas ‘mind’ and tra meaning ‘tool’. Mantra can teach the mind to become increasingly absorbed in that which is most essential. The Upanishads tell us that mantras can lead us towards healing, inspiration, transformation & and self-realisation.

​

"Mantra is a conversation between the self and divinity. All too often we separate ourselves from the divine, forgetting our truest nature. Chanting the names of God/Goddesses guides us back to a space of remembrance, of faith, devotion and love."

​

Kirtan - devotional, melodic call and response chanting in Sanskrit. 

​

Calling upon the sacred sound allows your body and mind to absorb its resonance. Come and elevate yourself into a state of joy, unity, and deep connection.

​

Booking is essential as spaces are limited. Open to everyone and complete beginners are welcome.

A discounted rate is available for this offering if you are unable to pay the full price.

Restorative Bhakti Offering  ~ an evening of quiet devotion, community, and deep rest, bathed in the sacred resonance of mantra.
We will gather in gentle presence, chant together, and soften into restorative postures, nourishing ourselves on a deep cellular level.

Bhakti asks for nothing but honesty and heartfulness—a simple return and remembrance of what is sacred and steady within.

Let this be a pause… a space to listen, release, receive, and reconnect with the rhythm beneath the noise.

The practices of Yoga Nidra and Om Bath will add magic to our collective restoration.

All are welcome. Come as you are.

This day retreat is designed to help you recognise signs of hormonal and digestive imbalance and guide you gently back toward ease. Rooted in seasonal wisdom, nourishment, and daily rituals, we will explore how Ayurveda supports digestion, hormonal balance, and emotional intelligence at every stage of a woman’s life.

Unlike one-size-fits-all hormone talks, this retreat offers a seasonal, cyclical, and holistic approach. The teachings are practical, easy to understand, and rooted in the law of nature, so you leave informed, supported, and empowered to apply what you learn immediately.

 

Is This Day Retreat for You?

This retreat is especially supportive if you are experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, poor sleep, anxiety, depression, hot flushes, digestive discomfort, mood swings, weight changes, or a sense of feeling “not quite yourself.”

Through the Ayurvedic lens, these symptoms are not random; they are messages from the body asking for rhythm, nourishment, and care. You will learn how to support your hormones and nervous system through food, daily rituals, seasonal awareness, and yoga, helping you move from depletion and confusion toward steadiness, clarity, and ease - so you can feel more grounded, nourished, and emotionally steady.

 

What to Expect

• A complete yoga practice designed to support hormonal balance and nervous system regulation
• Understanding perimenopause and menopause through the Ayurvedic lens
• How to ease or reverse uncomfortable symptoms naturally and support long-term health
• Herbal teas, ginger appetisers, and a simple Ayurvedic lunch to support digestion
• A gentle pause to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with yourself and other women
• Practical, immediately applicable tools, with time for Q&A, shared discussion and handouts

​

A monthly community circle to come together in conversation, devotion, and care with one another. 

A space for us to sit in shared inquiry, honest reflection, and vulnerability with what’s present. As we live and move through our spiritual path, where paradox, doubt, and confusion often appear, we gather to share and find clarity and inspiration. Most importantly, we explore how to integrate these teachings into our daily lives, making them accessible and livable. 

​

In the Yoga Vasistha - a profound philosophical Hindu text I have been reading, returning to, and trying to understand for nearly ten years, we are reminded that four things support us on the path: satsanga (good company), self-inquiry, contentment, and inner peace.

We are not meant to walk this path alone.

Each gathering will include time for conversation and reflection, chanting to return to the heart, and chai to ground us. 

 

This offering is by donation. All contributions go toward supporting community - helping make classes and gatherings accessible to those who cannot afford full pricing, so more spaces like this can continue to exist.

 

We gather in community, for community.​​

 

Open to all who feel called.

 

Please secure your place by booking online, and you are welcome to bring a donation on the day.  ​​

​
Listening to the body’s inner intelligence: an embodied exploration of living anatomy through movement and somatic inquiry, rooted in sensation, movement, and presence.

A two-part series inviting you to experience anatomy not as information to learn and memorise, but as innate intelligence available and accessible to listen to. An embodied, explorative approach through movement, imagery, touch, and felt-sense perception and presence; experiencing anatomy as a living conversation rather than a fixed map. These workshops are less about ‘learning more’ and more about remembering how to listen. 

Workshop 1: Saturday 11th April

The Container — the structures that hold, support, and shape us.

Workshop 2: Saturday 2nd May

The Contents — the living systems that move, nourish, and communicate within that structure.

Each workshop can be taken individually, though together they offer a richer, more integrated experience of the body as both form and living process.
