​

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.

Explore Oil Therapies for Vitality, Immunity & Replenishment ~ OJAS

Ayurveda emphasises snehana (warm oil application) as essential for health and longevity, as it calms vata dosha, helps to moisturise, lubricate and remove toxins (ama).

​

Why You Would Want to Know These Practices?

Life today can leave us feeling drained, ungrounded, and disconnected from our own bodies. Stress, long hours, rushing around, poor sleep, travel, and constant digital stimulation all contribute to our energy and vitality being depleted. Ayurveda teaches that much of this strain comes from the gradual loss of ojas, our vital essence, and imbalances in our natural energies (doshas).

 

The oil therapies you will explore and learn in this workshop are the antidote to everything mentioned above. Abhyanga (whole body massage), nasya (nasal oiling), gandusha (oil pulling), karna purana (ear oiling), nabhi chikitsa (navel oiling), and scalp and foot massage with marma points are far more than trendy wellness “bio-hacks.” 

They are practical tools rooted in ancient wisdom to replenish your body and mind, deeply nourishing your tissues, calming your nervous system, and building resilience from the inside out. 

Beyond the physical benefits, these practices support your senses and mind. Nasya and sculp massage help clear mental fog – which invites clarity and focus, support hair growth, and reduce fatigue, while oil pulling and abhyanga strengthen immunity, oral health, and overall vitality. Karna purana helps soothe tension around the ears and head, supporting balance and sensory calm, while nabhi chikitsa supports circulation in the lower belly and can be especially grounding and nourishing for hormonal balance. Best of all, each practice can be personalised to your constitution, the seasons, and your current state, making this kind of self-care truly effective, sustainable and enjoyable.

​

These rituals offer a space to slow down and reconnect with yourself. In the quiet, intentional act of oiling and massaging, you cultivate presence (calming the vata dosha a big time!), self-connection, and a daily rhythm. This is a time-tested path to balance, rejuvenation, and longevity. 

 

This workshop is for you if you want to:

• Reverse depletion and build vitality & immunity (ojas)

• Calm and regulate your nervous system

• Improve the quality of your sleep

• Support your senses and brain function

• Prevent aches, joint, and muscle issues

• Enhance natural detoxification and digestion

• Cultivate a ritual that deepens your connection to yourself

​

Don’t worry - you won’t have to spend a fortune on oils! I will share reliable, accessible sources so you can incorporate these rituals easily at home, plus you will receive a gift to get you started right away!

Investment:
3-hour workshop with tea and a small gift included – £45,

​

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.  ​​
