SPIRIT DANCE WITH NATASHA QUINN
Every second Tuesday in the month 7pm - 8.45pm
Spirit dance is a shamanic journey which leads to free flow movement whilst journeying with the drum beat moving into dance. It is a safe sacred space to listen to the inner voice, feel into the heart, ask for healing, guidance and express our own truth through self expression bringing it to light so we can see it more clearly, celebrate our uniqueness.
The beat of the drum creates a monotonous tone which slows down the brain waves bringing the brain into a theta state, this is where we can access other realms and meet our spirit guides.
The session includes a sharing circle – shamanic journey – gentle yoga stretches – free flow dance – guided relaxation and earth oracle cards. Wear loose comfortable clothing according to weather n the day, bring a blanket and something to lie on and a bottle of water.
Percussion welcome – rattles – tambourines, looking forward to welcoming you in circle. ESSENTIAL TO BOOK WITH NATASHA

SOUND BATH WITH NAOMY RAVEN
USUALLY EVERY 4TH THURSDAY AT 7.30PM - PLEASE CHECK AND BOOK WITH NAOMY
Time to relax and restore. Apart from the deep nourishing relaxation and the enjoyment of being bathed in sound, benefits people often experience are increased sense of self awareness, feeling more connected to self and life, feeling cleansed or clearer, reduced stress and anxiety, help with pain control. You may also receive information or insight.
During this sort of sound work, as the brainwaves entrain to a slower rhythm, we enter a state of consciousness akin to meditation where stress hormones lower, blood pressure and heart rate drop and the brain’s sodium and potassium levels can be balanced. In this state, cellular regeneration can occur.
The BAST method of sound bath meditation is designed to help facilitate this very deep relaxed state. People usually find sound an easier way to achieve this state than by meditating.
Please bring a yoga mat, pillow, blanket and bottle of water
