Join us for an evening of Kirtan (mantra meditation) - led by Venu Krsna Das - to wind down at the end of your week. Step out of your mind and into your heart as we immerse ourselves in divine sound vibration.

No experience of chanting is necessary and if you have never chanted before and feel a bit apprehensive you are very welcome to come along and just bathe in the positive energy and good vibrations in the space.

We will end the eve with a warming cup of chai tea :-)

No equipment is necessary. We have LOTS of cushions and blankets for your comfort.

Entry is by donation (ideally please bring cash) but we would love it if you would pre-register so we can gauge attendance numbers.
Put the mantra in your mind and your mind in the mantra... Amazing things might happen.

Trust.

True acceptance that every moment and lesson holds perfection can be one of the hardest things to achieve. We tell ourselves that all is okay but do we really believe it? Is that  ‘yeah right’ voice within still lurking telling us otherwise? Trust in ourselves, our abilities and worthiness is a gateway to freedom from a sense of lack, loss and loneliness. 

 On Saturday  Dec 14, 2-4pm we will reconnect with the innate trust we were born with but have forgotten. With the gentle, loving guidance of delicious ceremonial cacao, expect to relax into a magical guided meditation while being bathed in shamanic sound vibrations fine-tuned for helping us to explore the wholeness of who we are.

THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT. PLEASE EMAIL US TO BE THE FIRST TO KNOW WHEN THE NEXT ONE IS SCHEDULED IN THE NEW YEAR.

Our culture tends to celebrate DOING… doing more, achieving more, producing more. And even Yoga practice may feel like that: being better, to be more extraordinary, striving to bend further and so on.

Yet, the essence of Yoga may be about cultivating something different, less effortful, and more about BEING. To have times in your practice, in your day, to just be, and to be open to what may arise from a quality of being.

In this workshop:

• Gentle movement and self-care practices to release excess tension.

• Meditation and iRest® Yoga Nidra orientated to experience being.

• Rest deeply and be nourished within the quiet ease and home ground of being.

MANIFEST

Come spring, it’s time to clean out our closet, go inward, set new intentions, connect and begin the process of manifestation. Spring in Aotearoa is a beautiful period of renewal; we’ve weathered the winter, welcomed back longer days and can now set our sights on summer and the new year ahead. On Saturday  Oct 19, 2-4pm we will deep dive into the garden and spring within our heart to sow spring seeds for manifesting all that is in alignment with our desires and soul path. With the gentle, loving guidance of delicious ceremonial cacao, expect to relax into a magical guided meditation while being bathed in shamanic sound vibrations fine-tuned for helping us to fulfil our wildest dreams.

This is a dynamic and playful workshop to help you build the strength, awareness and confidence to get inverted in your practice. Inversions positively influence the cardiovascular, lymphatic, nervous, and endocrine systems. Also great for the cognitive function as oxygen-rich blood flows to your brain. After you adjust to it you begin to notice that your brain feels more alive. Since your brain is the largest consumer of oxygen in your body, more blood means more oxygen, which means better brain function.

THE HEART OF YOGA NIDRA |Embodying a Felt Sense of Sanctuary, Kindness and Compassion

An iRest® Yoga Nidra workshop

"Don’t meditate to fix yourself, to heal yourself, to improve yourself, to redeem yourself; rather, do it as an act of love, of deep warm friendship to yourself." Bob Sharpels

Taking one of Neal’s all-time favourite quotes about meditation as a guide, in this workshop we use the practice of iRest® Yoga Nidra to awaken and embody a felt sense of safety, sanctuary, kindness and compassion.

Central questions we may consider during our Yoga Nidra practice are what, where, and how do we experience these feelings in our body when:
You are kind to someone / some being?
You receive kindness?
You witness kindness?

The second part of the workshop will orientate around compassion. We will discuss what compassion is, what empathy is, and we will practice Yoga Nidra as an invitation to experience compassion for others and for ourselves.

TUNING IN & UP

RADICAL EXPANSION 

Many of us find it difficult to effect change or do what needs to be done for moving forward in life.

On Saturday June 22, 2-4pm come and experience a journey for radical expansion where delicious ceremonial cacao, relaxing guided meditation and shamanic sound vibration help us to lift our gaze, take charge and reach for the stars.
